Today's Cryptoquip Clue: O equals T can't stay in your comfort zone," Baroud said. "So I switched it up, I tried men's physique, and I was in the best shape I've been in since varsity football. I got down to 183 pounds, and I was competing with guys who were not natural, so to speak." BAROUD FROM PAGE 5 Senior Brian Baroud from Northbrook, Ill., does shoulder shrugs while training at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. Although Baroud said he has never and will never take performance enhancers or steroids, it is present in the bodybuilding scene. BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN Kuipers competes in organizations that test their athletes for steroids and performance enhancers. He said he enjoys participating in these organizations because of how competitive they are. "There are people out there that do [steroids]," Kuipers said. "You don't have to do it. You can still be successful." Baroud has competed in organizations that do not test their athletes for such drugs. He said this choice was made purely out of excitement. As a student, competing was challenging for Baroud. He said the demands of a strict diet combined with schoolwork were always "I was just young and ready to get after it and make a statement and show my passions," he said. "It's a bloodbath of a sport, so to speak, just like a lot of others. It's a sport that's got a double-edged sword of a reputation; it's plagued by steroids and plagued by guys that go over the top with it." After competing in men's physique, Baroud went home empty handed, but he said it certainly didn't feel like it. "That was a big thing I realized was keeping it in perspective and realizing that this sport isn't going to go anywhere," Baroud said. "I can do this at any point in the rest of my life wherever the time fits and knowing that first and foremost I'm here for school. I'm here to grow as a person. So, I knew I had accomplished something with myself and while there wasn't a reward in my hands, that was not relevant to me at the time." taking. "The dieting was no easy task, just like any college student could admit. It's hard to not 'cheat' — that means cheat meals," Baroud said. "Everyone's had that thought go through their mind at one point or another; it's stressful. I had to deal with bearing through that and getting ready for these shows while I was taking on finals." When Kuipers competed during college, he held a full-time job and said it was difficult to juggle work, school and competing. taxing. "It's difficult but it's not impossible," Kuipers said. "Definitely other things suffer a little bit depending on how motivated you are or how dedicated you are. Whatever you care about the most is going to get the most attention," Kuipers said. "You just have to plan ahead and time management is key." Even though these sports challenge Baroud, he said it is the attention to details that require so much time, like tanning, lifting and dieting. But he said that is what he loves about competing in both bodybuilding and men's physique. "I totally buckled down on that, and I just loved it from day one," he said. "That's when I knew I found something special in myself and literally at that moment watched myself grow. It's a cool feeling." Baroud said he digs deep and uses painful memories from his past to fuel his drive and get through adversity he faces when preparing for competitions. "I lost one of my best friends the summer going into my senior year of high school," he said. "He was on the football team, and I'd known him for years. It was a very painful period of my life so I remember back to things about that." In his junior year of college at Kansas, Barod competed in his last powerlifting competition to date. He took home first place. He has not competed in a bodybuilding show since Muscle Mayhem. Baroud said he has been focusing on his future and spent this past summer interning in Chicago. He Clooney, wife make newlywed appearance ASSOCIATED PRESS George Clooney waves as he cruises the Grand Canal on a boat with his wife Amal Alamuddin, after leaving the Aman luxury hotel in Venice, Italy ASSOCIATED PRESS VENICE, Italy — Wedding bands glinted under the Venetian sun on the hands of George Clooney and his new bride, Amal Alamuddin, as the heartthrob actor and the human rights lawyer emerged Sunday from the luxury hotel where they were married a day earlier. The groom, in a smart light gray suit, sported a simple ring on his left hand. His wife, in a flouncey white short dress with pastel-colored appliques resembling flower blossoms, wore a thin band studded with what appeared to be roundish diamonds. The newlyweds shaded their eyes from the afternoon sunlight with dark glasses. They hopped into a waiting water taxi and, with Clooney putting his arm around her frequently, made their way down the Grand Canal to another waterside hotel where many of their guests were staying. Gondoliers steered out of their way. Tourists and Venetians cheered when Clooney waved and Alamuddin smiled broadly. The 53-year-old actor, who had vowed he'd never wed again, and the 36-year-old London-based lawyer, were married with Hollywood said he has always envisioned himself as a successful business worker someday and that these sports are strictly passionate hobbies. Celebrity-watching will last at least another day in Venice. City officials have announced the closure on Monday of a stretch of pedestrian walkway along the Grand Canal near the 16th-century Cavalli Palace, so the couple can have a civil marriage ceremony there. The palace is right across from the Aman hotel where the couple wed on Saturday evening. stars and family among guests. "I never tried to set out to make money out of this or to take it to the top, because ultimately what that leads to doing is, in my eyes, turning to going unnatural and making it be a year-round thing or something that literally consumes you. I don't want that," Baroud said. The marriage is the first for the bride and the second for Clooney, who had been one The bride left her native Lebanon during its civil war and was raised in the United Kingdom. The Oxford-University-educated Alamuddin met Clooney, who is involved in many political causes, through her work. of the world's most sought-after bachelors since 1993, following a four-year marriage to actress Talia Balsam.

He said he knows of a powerlifting meet in December in Topeka and possibly a bodybuilding show in his home state. "Do I want to probably do it the remainder of my life here and there as I please?" Baroud said. "Absolutely." 785.832.8228 944 Massachusetts Street — Edited by Emily Brown + FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER26 DR.
