"We were asked to do it a couple a years ago and it was a lot of fun, said Jennifer Remington, owner of Wheat State Pizza. "It benefits the community. We like to participate and help when we can. It helps get our name out, a good cause, and local residents."
Remington said Wheat State's biggest advantage is their wheat crust and torces Minsky's as a possible threat because it also has a wheat crust.
"They are giving us pizza purely on donation, the envelopment for them to participate is exposure to students," Rosacker said.
She said they will pick a winner for each category of the pizza so it is partly competitive also. Cheese/vegetarian, meatlovers and specially are the three categories that each restaurant will serve and be judged on. The restaurants

"My favorite part is [seeing] how many students take ownership over their community to make this event happen," Lewis said.
This Friday at 5:30 p.m. KU Hillel will host its biggest event of the year: the annual Rock Chalk Shabbat event in the Kansas Union.
"It's pretty awesome."
Jay Lewis, a 1993 KU alumni from Overland Park and the executive director for KU Hillel, said Rock Chalk Shabbat is a huge celebration of KU Hillel and Jewish life at the University that brings together more than 500 students, parents and alumni.
Stacy Bernstein, a junior from St. Louis and the development assistant for Rock Chalk Shabbat, said the event starts with appetizers served by the men of Alpha Epsilon Pi. Afterwards, there is a service done by Rabbi Neal Schuster, which is followed by dinner in the ballroom with various speakers and a slideshow. Bernstein said anyone is welcome, and Big Jay is due to make an appearance during the night as well.

Local band Captiva has a few words for its audience: Stay buzzed. This motto comes from the band's song "Buzz Like Bees", in which they encourage listeners to live in the present and not be worried about the past or the future, said Patrick McQuaid, a member of Captiva.
Captiva is made up of KU freshmen McQuaid and Jackson Reis, along with Hank Wiedel, a student at Johnson County Community College, all from Kansas City, Mo. McQuaid and Reis met a year and a half ago when they started hanging out and creating music together. They wrote their own songs and performed them at local church and high school events. Later, they met Wiedel in detention, who was serving time for being late to class, and the three became a band.

Captiva released its debut album "Basement Creations" three months ago on Band-Camp and Soundcloud. They are an independent band; however they are in conjunction with WKC Music, an independent label based out of Kansas City that helped get the band where they are today.
Captiva describes its style of music as "funky-folk-meets-indie-rap." The band's lyrics are inspired by past relationships and other life experiences. Their musical inspirations include Twenty-One Pilots, because of
The members said that living in Lawrence has helped them a lot due to the town's welcoming music scene. Weidel said Lawrence is reliable with solid shows and brings in good acts.
"You can expect a lot of energy from our shows and to go away feeling buzzed." McQuaid said. "We put a lot of effort into each of our performances"
Captiva will be playing at Jackpot Music Hall on Sunday, Nov. 9. On Nov. 12 at Abe and Jake's Landing the band will perform at a Kappa Kappa Gamma benefit show that supports a former sorority sister who suffered a brain injury.

"We are definitely trying to venture out and to become recognized on a more regional and national level," Wiedel said.
There is definitely tension sometimes, but we all care so much about the band. It makes us very thankful for each other and for having such great musicians and friends to play with."
Captiva will also be playing a show in Flint, Mich., next month at The Machine Shop.
They are booking their first tour for next spring, and will be playing Kansas City's Dancefestopia, an up-and-
"This whole year has really been a blessing for us." Wiedel said. "It is amazing to see the things that we create come to life."
The band is currently in the writing process for its next album, and plans to draw on the members' more recent experiences since they have started college and joined fraternities. McQuaid and Reis write all of Captiva's songs.
