KANSAS IN HEAT // FELLATIO FRUSTRATIONS > Tackling the sticky world of relationships. Contributed photo CATCH OF THE WEEK // KEVIN SMITH > A weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea. TURN-ONS:A girl with a unique look, like when a girl has something really interesting going on, but you can't quite figure out what it is. TURN-OFFS: If they don't understand my humor, that's a huge turn-off. They can't take anything too seriously. If you take it too seriously, you wouldn't be able to understand my personality. HOW WOULD YOU WOW A GIRL ON A FIRST DATE? If she's a Kansas girl, then I guess I would get her courtside seats at Allen Fieldhouse. But she has to be a Kansas girl, otherwise that wouldn't work. If she's not a Kansas girl, then I would just have to hope that she's impressed by my intellect. SECRET TALENT: I'm convinced that I'm able to Dougie, although my friends aren't so sure. I just think I'm a lot better at doing it than my friends. IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE IN THE WORLD, LIVING OR DEAD, WHO WOULD IT BE?: Ernest Hemingway, hands down. I think he's an amazing writer. He met some good people, wrote some good books, ate some good food, and drank some good alcohol. I feel like he'd have something profound to tell me or at least pour me some beer. WHY HE'S A CATCH: I'm intelligent, I'm driven and I have an easy smile. | TAYLOR LEWIS | KJHK CALLER ASKS: MICHELLE ANSWERS: Never assume a partner has experience in the sexual act in which you are participating. This might be your girlfriend's first time giving a blow job. She may not have had the opportunity to develop advanced oral technique. Never assume one technique will work for every partner. Every partner is different. You may not want to hear this, but she may have blown the socks off her last partner. Discovering and adapting to a new partner's likes, dislikes, and preferences is part of sexual exploration. Are you certain everything you're doing is working? Also, don't assume your partner's experiences were always positive. She may have negative associations with oral sex or had a partner unwilling to explore satisfying sex with her. Make time and allow for the development of trust in intimacy. Start off by expressing to your girlfriend how much you enjoy giving and receiving oral sex. Be enthusiastic and express your desire to develop intimacy with her and to discover new ways of satisfying each other. Follow this by asking her if you can do anything else to improve her pleasure. Hopefully, by opening up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable, your girlfriend will engage in a similar expression of desire to improve. Opening up, both through communication and physical actions, removing expectations and being selfless are necessary for a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship with your partner.

Sparks flew when Natasha Kothari, a junior from Overland Park, and Glenn Dunne, a junior from Leawood, met. Literally. Natasha had decided to use Nunemaker's oven to bake a cake in September 2009 while Glenn and some friends were playing cards in an adjacent room. The two, who lived in Templin, had briefly met through mutual friends and thought the other was cute, although they never admitted it. "We didn't know the other person liked us, but all of our friends knew," Natasha says. But while Natasha was baking, she accidentally dropped a pot holder into the oven and it burst into flames instantly. She immediately ran upstairs to get help while Glenn observed the whole spectacle. ["Natasha] had just come back from getting her picture taken, and she was all dressed up with a dress and heels." Glenn says. "She just looked gorgeous." The oven fire marked a turn in their soon-to-be relationship. After things calmed down, the two spent the rest of the day together with mutual friends. At the end of the day, a friend took Glenn aside and told him that he needed to make his move on Natasha soon because it was obvious they both liked each other. The next day, two days shy of Natasha's 19th birthday, he asked her out. It's been two years since then, but sparks are still flying between Natasha and Glenn, and the infamous oven fire is still a source of laughs for the couple. "I joked about the fire with her for a while after that," Glenn savs. "And by joke," Natasha responds,"he means he gave me hell for it forever."

I would have to think Berglund is reconsidering a return to Lawrence, given the state of the football team. He had offers from more than 10 schools, and I would have to think one of them would still like to have him. I don't see Berglund wearing a Jayhawk uniform when his legal issues settle. Until then this is Jordan Webb's team, and he needs to find a way to win or his last two years at Kansas may be more difficult than the first two. Reports have said that Berglund loves Lawrence and this University and is wearing Jayhawk clothes back home. That's all fine and dandy, but Berglund won't come back to Kansas unless he's just looking for a quality education. Edited by Alexandra Esposito in 2005, the program had just wiped itself clean of Mark Mangino, the second most successful coach in the University's history. But just how broken was the football program, besides the black eye that it got from the Mangino drama? After Mangino resigned following scrutiny of his conduct with players, Gill was put in charge of a program with a bruised public image. "I came here to try to fix something, and that's what I'm here to do." Gill said. When Gill was hired, the program was two years removed from its most successful season ever, in which it gained America's attention and brought home a trophy full of oranges. The freshmen on that team were part of the 50th best recruiting class in the NCAA, according to rivals.com, and seven of those And it did, as the recruiting class rankings for Kansas improved the following two seasons, though the program took a wild ride of highs and lows. Kansas won a bowl game in 2008, lost its final seven games of the 2009 season, and ended the year with the departure of former coach Mangino. figure that will attract pretty big recruits", senior wide receiver Kale Pick said. When Gill arrived at Kansas, he was taking over a program that had just lost its core group of key players — quarterback Todd Reesing, running back Jake Sharp, and receiver Kerry Meier, to name a few. But he did inherit a team made up of four top 50 classes, according to rivals.com, and this SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 8 JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN FILE PHOTO 14 Coach Turner Gill walks out of Memorial Stadium after a tough game against the Oklahoma Sooners.
