HOW WE MET // TIM CLARK & RAYYAN KAMAL
> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
It's not uncommon for Lawrence natives Tim Clark, a junior, and Rayyan Kamal, a senior, to be mistaken for a couple. The pair has even deemed their friendship a "bromance"; they are inseparable.
But their friendship wasn't always so strong. The two met in marching band at Free State High School when they were paired together to share the marimba. "I grabbed some mallets and they told me to stand next to this man, Tim, who was very calm and very quiet," Rayyan says. "He didn't say anything. He didn't talk at all. I didn't understand why he was so freaking quiet."
As band season continued, the two bonded while playing their shared instrument. Their love for music led to them creating their own band, and their growing friendship instilled a deep appreciation for each other. It was because of Tim's opinions that Rayyan began examining his own spiritual beliefs, and Tim found a sort of teacher figure in Rayyan. "He's got such a positive and humanistic view of everything," Tim says. "If there's anything that's a problem in my life, he tends to have a really good perspective."
As close at the duo was, they didn't have plans to attend college together, but they both ended up at the University. Although they aren't roommates, they are constantly hanging out and are grateful for their high school marching band days that introduced them. "A lot of people don't like high school; I thought it was great," Rayyan says. "High school isn't necessarily about the fact that you have a ton of friends or do a ton of things. It's if you have at least one friend that is good enough to get you through. And that's what I had. I had Tim."

CATCH OF THE WEEK // MICHAEL TREINEN A weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
Turn-ons: A girl who is adventurous, like willing to go rock climbing, scuba diving or bungee jumping. A girl who wants to get involved in a club and willing to try new things, like a sport they've never played before. A nice, subtle smile when first making eye contact or start talking.
Turn-offs: An obnoxious laugh at an inappropriate time. Also, loud talkers and smokers.
Hates when people: Try to always direct attention toward themselves. I like people that can put others first.
That's gross: Overly tan people. I prefer a woman with paler skin. Something about people with dark tan seems fake to me, and by tan, I mean Snooki tan.
Spends the most money on: Food on the weekends, like pizza, sandwiches and Dairy Queen. Also clothes, like Vineyard Vines, Polo, Sperry's and Southern Tide.
Why I am a catch: I always consider the effects my actions have on people. I live my life by strong morals that I don't break or bend.

"A lot of people don't know what landlords are required to provide," Hardesty said. The office sees cases in which students are living with perpetual health and safety code violations, such as electrical problems and malfunctioning fire extinguishers, that go unattended by landlords. The office helps students report any violations to the city and represents them in court if needed. Oftentimes these issues
Alyssa Boone, a third-year law student from Wichita, works as an intern in the office and has first-hand experience with the advice that the office gives. Two years ago, an apartment leak caused property damage and she disputed the lease she had signed.
Funded through a student fee of less than $11 per person, the office does not charge additional fees for its services, which are provided by attorneys and law students under attorney supervision. The office assists many students in settling disputes with their landlords.
"I came and talked to one of the attorneys here, and he showed me how I can hold the landlord accountable for sub-standard conditions," Boone said. "He gave me an objective perspective about the legal context of what I was going
