Here's some advice for all of you single folks out there; you're more likely to meet the love of your life when you're not even looking.
My own personal example? First semester of my freshman year, I qualified to take Spanish 216. Despite taking Spanish for four years in high school, the class was terrifying and extremely difficult for me from day one. However, the class turned out to be a sort of blessing in disguise. I walked out of the final exam with two things: a passing grade (God bless you, credit/no credit) and a boyfriend.
Trust me, I didn't endure a semester of brutal homework and awkward I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-saying class presentations just to find myself a boyfriend. Like I said, it happened without me even realizing it.
That was almost four years ago and I couldn't be happier. It's cheesy and a bit overdramatic, but I honestly don't think I'd be
surviving college without him. He keeps me calm when I'm borderline psychotic with stress and takes care of me when I'm sick. He's also a great listener, even if it's just me ranting about something petty.
People often ask me if I consider him "the one" and honestly, despite our strong supportive relationship, a part of me finds it hard to say yes. I'm not concerned with whether or not he's my perfect match. I'm happy, he's happy and that's all that matters to us right now. But knowing if your significant other is "the one" is something a lot of people consider, and there are different ways of telling if we've met our soul mate. For more on how finding "the one" affects our relationships, read Christine's story on page eight.
I don't know what it will take for me to know he's "the one," but I'm not worried. Right now, I'm just happy to be with someone who doesn't judge me when I watch questionable movies on our shared Netflix account.

In the last 10 months, there have been four public censures of University of Kansas faculty. The first of the recent public notices occurred in December of 2010, prior to which the University had not censured a faculty member since 1993. David Guth, an associ-

other faculty member. Following Guth's censure, Dennis Sander, an associate professor of architecture, was censured in July on similar premises. Mahesh Visvanathan, a courtesy assistant professor in the department of electrical engineering and computer sciences, was

"The events that precipitated the censures are rare occurrences that simply happened to occur within a short time frame," said Mary Lee Hummert, University vice provost.

"We try to do preventative education, and when something does occur, we are here to help students make good choices," said Jo Hardesty, a managing attorney and the office's director since 1987.
Whether it's the threat of eviction from an apartment or securing a copyright for a work of art, the office of Legal Services for Students offers critical advice, representation and education for many legal challenges students may encounter while at the University.

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 setting disputes with their landlords.
"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. Offentimes these issues

"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
