THAT'S DISGUSTING // LUNCH MEAT >If you're going to do it, be smart.
Patrick Long, a senior from Overbrook, says turkey sandwiches are a staple in his diet. He says lunch meat is one of the only things that can always be found in his fridge. "We pick up some kind of lunch meat every time we go to the store," Long says. The convenience of cold cuts make them a brown bag favorite, but is there a darker side to lunch meat that college students don't think about?

Ready-to-eat meat can host the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, more commonly known as Listeria, according to the World Health Organization's website. The bacteria cause the infection Listeriosis, causing symptoms similar to the flu: fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea. In serious situations, loss of balance, confusion and even convulsions could occur. But for most people the infection is mild.
Barbara Hermreck, a dietitian in Lawrence, says any meat product with a large surface area has more of a risk of being contaminated with bacteria. "Unfortunately, lunch meat tends to be a food that is often mishandled," Hermreck says. But even handling lunch meat with care and making sure it is always kept at cool

temperatures does not mean it's bacteria free because Listeria still survives in refrigerator temperatures.
Another reason cold cuts hold a risk of causing infection is that they are not heated at a high temperatures to kill bacteria before being eaten like most other meats, says Hermreck. To ensure your lunch meat is Listeria-free, thoroughly heat it in the microwave before eating.

GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU// OLIVE OIL
> Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Twice a week, Rebekka Schlichting uses her Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil when she fries fish or potatoes, or boils noodles for dinner Schlichting, a sophomore from Hiawatha, frequently cooks with olive oil because she likes the distinct taste it has and says it's healthier than vegetable oil. But she also enjoys olive oil when it's not part of a recipe. "I just buy a baguette like Rosemary bread, toast it with Havarti cheese, and then dip it in salted (olive)油," she says.
Schlichting has a healthy habit of using olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest to eat and cook with, says Joe Vinson, professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton in Scranton, Penn. Olive oil is good for reducing the risks of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, Type 2 diabetes, and strokes, Vinson says, who studies the antioxidants of olive oil.
Olive oil has a unique set of antioxidants that cannot be found in any other oil source. They contain monounsaturated fats, or healthy fats, that help with lowering cholesterol for a healthy heart. The fats are crucial in helping your body absorb antioxidants because they are fat soluble, which means your body needs some fat to dissolve them.
The olives, which are tree fruits, are healthiest when squeezed the first time, which makes it extra virgin olive oil. Each squeeze thereafter dilutes the antioxidants and fats. Cooking also destroys some of the healthy components of the oil, but adding it to food keeps them all intact. And the more olive oil consumed, the better.
"God made olive oil damn near perfect," Vinson says.
Verdict: Good for you, especially if extra virgin olive oil. | KYLIE NUTT |

THAT'S DISGUSTING // DIRTY SHEETS

There's nothing more disgusting than going into a person's room and seeing drold dried on their pillow. Peel back their sheets, and there's probably even more gag-provoking damage.
College students are notorious for prolonging trips to the laundry mat, but you can only spend so many hours between your sheets before the bed buildup begs for a wash. Febreeze may work for your clothing, but you can't cover up potential pimples from dirty sheets with Febreeze.
Vivi Torres, writer and owner of ecobeauysecrets.com out of Singapore, suggests washing your sheets at least every two weeks. "When we sleep, most of the dead skin we
shed gets trapped in our bed fabrics as we rub against them. All these accumulated dead skin cells on dirty sheets are like tasty protein bars for acne-causing bacteria," Torres says. "Unwashed sheets with traces of mildew and mold can also cause mild to severe eczema, fungal acne and rashes."
It's a duty to wash your sheets, but there are options. If you're like Courtney Holle, a senior from Marysville, then you wouldn't necessarily have to wash them routinely every two weeks. "I have four different sets of sheets that match my bedding, so if I don't have to wash them that day, I can take off the old sheets and throw on some fresh ones," Holle says.
Ignoring your dead skin-ridden sheets is nothing short of disgusting. Do yourself a favor and grab an extra set of sheets while they're on sale or study while you're waiting on them to dry at the laundry mat. Your skin will thank you.
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just, enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.

Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.

Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of T'ustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing.
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said, "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an
interim basis.
"With the difficulties engulfing this university — and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to."
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

Pein State football coach Joe Paterno arrives home yesterday in State College, Pa. Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired yesterday evening, brought down by their failure to do more about an allegation of child sex abuse against a former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who is accused of molesting eight boys over 15 years.
