Just found "what do rabbits eat"
on my search history... I have no
idea how it got there...
To the Nicki Minaj doppelgänger who wears heels to class everyday: Can you please just stand on Wescoe and rap super bass for me?
My Western Civ. paper was entitled F.O.E. I got an A. The basketball gods are smiling down upon me.
It's always sad when a backpack covers up an attractive girls' ass.
I feel like I'm walking into an episode of "How to Catch a Predator" every time I go to the Hawk.
LOST: My dignity. If found, please contact the girl who was forced to go to the check out with the cashier she hooked up with and buy only pregnancy tests
My teacher brought us doughnuts and let us out 20 minutes early... it almost made Western Civ. tolerable.
I feel bad for people with numbers similar to FFA because they must get some weird texts pretty often.
Running into your TA at The Hawk = awkward. Taking shots with him = teacher to peer bonding.
EDITORIAL
City proves it protects citizens' rights
Tuesday night, the Lawrence City Commission passed a measure to make discriminating on the basis of "gender identity" a city offense. Gender identity now joins sex, race, religion, origin, ancestry, age, color, disability and sexual orientation as officially protected from discrimination. Along with the Lawrence gay community, transgender residents and students can now officially file claims against people who discriminate against them because of their gender identity.
It's a governing body's job to protect citizens who are under distress, or under threat of discrimination.
This is a big step for civil rights in Lawrence and Kansas. We support the inclusion of gender
identity in the city's code, and applaud Mayor Aron Cromwell and the commissioners for making Lawrence the only city in Kansas to recognize gender identity as a protected classification.
However, as some commissioners said, a city's duty is to its citizens, not to their morality. The anti-discrimination measure won't restrict businesses to hire employees they think will be the best candidate for a position. This amendment will make it clearer to businesses how they can and can't act with transgender workers.
City Council was flooded with over 100 people at Tuesday's meeting. About 50 people publicly commented, making the meeting last four hours.
Opponents to the amendment included business owners, pastors, church-goers, and other concerned citizens. They explained how the amendment would threaten their Christian moral environment, restrict business practices, and threaten their children by giving pedophiles an excuse to go into opposite gender public restrooms.
Transsexual and transgender citizens are already using their bathrooms of choice, and the pedophile argument was effectively debunked by Cromwell.
When a citizen is stressed and pressured from a society that doesn't accept his or her opposite gender identities, or is discriminated against in school and work, children and adults can suffer from Gender Identity
Disorder. Classified as a disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. GID can lead to severe depression. In a report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, 41 percent of respondents reported attempting suicide. That jumped to 55 percent in respondents who reported losing a job due to discrimination.
The transgender population needs to be protected like any other classification in Lawrence's human relations code, and by passing the amendment, the city commission showed its commitment to protect all Lawrence citizens.

FASHION
Freshen your nails like a queen
Queen Nefertiti wore it. Cleopatra wore it. Even modern day Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, wears it.
And college girls across America today wear it.
So, what do we have in common with these royals?
The answer is nail polish.
The answer is nail polish.
Invented over 5,000 years ago by the Ming Dynasty, nail lacquer has been one of the longest and most successful fashion trends to this day. Chinese royalty wore colored nail polish in relation to the current dynasty. The ancient Egyptians used nail lacquer to symbolize their rank. Even Cleopatra used a red stain for her nails.
By Lizzie Marx editor@kansan.com
Although nail polish no longer suggests a statement of rank or royalty, it is still a necessary accessory for any outfit. Nina Garcia, fashion editor at Marie Claire, said that nail polish is "a matter of taste and appropriateness, so select wisely".
Since we are now into fall, consider choosing a darker shade when you decide to freshen up those nails. One of my favorites for this transitional period is Case Study by Essie. Its beige pigment works well with fall's hues of browns and burnt orange. You
will be studying your nails all night long with this color.
In order to obtain the glamour and glitz from one of my favorite places, Lincoln Park, Ill., use Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI. An eggplant shade is dark for all skin tones and InStyle magazine rated it as the Best Dear Nail Polish for 2011.
The most popular nail color for this upcoming season is military green, such as Sew Psyched by Essie. This sage-pewter color works best with the camouflage trend. Not to worry though, your nails won't hide with this shade.
If you want to keep it simple and sweet, stick with the all-time favorite Marshmallow by Essie. This cloudy white coordinates with every outfit and is incredibly chic with a monochromatic heather beige ensemble.
You view your fingernails all day long, so why not make them your most stylish accessory with your upcoming outfits.

FALL HUES
I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling.
I'm arguing for a ruling.
In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense. I'm no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year — in every sport, not just football and basketball — is a pretty significant number. And if I'm not mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30?
I'm arguing for a ruling.
Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse.
remaining on the game clock and the game on the line. On third and six from their own 30-yard line, Texas Tech stunned everyone — including the Kansas defense — by running a draw play to their running back Taurean Henderson.
Henderson ran up the middle and didn't stop until he reached the end zone for a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Texas Tech took a 31-30 lead with which they would eventually win.

The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program. The Jayhawks have not been able to shake the loss against Texas Tech, as they've gone on to lose four consecutive games to the Red Raiders.

pact on this ball game" Gill said. "We're looking at their team and what they're doing in 2011 and we're looking at what we're doing here in 2011."
What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Jayhawks.
Texas Tech's offensive numbers, while not quite what they used to be, are still very daunting, as the Red Raiders average 523.3 yards of offense per game.
Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior
--to be ominous when taking a glance at what the Kansas defense has done in 2011, ranking last in the nation by allowing an average of 550 yards per game.
So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the four-game losing skid. To overcome those odds, they'll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders.
"You've got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm," Shealy said. "In three ball games, they've had 21 passes for over 20 yards. You've got to limit that big play, and no one's done it. Hopefully we can do it."

Facing a threatening offense, Kansas will need a new defensive strategy to beat Texas Tech. The Jayhawks have lost the last four games against the Red Raiders.
