MANUAL
DOING WITHOUT // GOOGLE
> Absence makes the heart...?
Photo by Chris Neal Google It: Many use Google in multiple ways, from research to scheduling.
I can't remember the last time I picked up a dictionary or went searching through an encyclopedia. Google has been such a huge part of my academic life that it's always the first place I go to search for information on anything and everything. Forcing myself to go without it for a week was like being sent back to elementary school when computers still had green type and black backgrounds.
Tyler Wright, a sophomore from Garden City, is a frequent Googler who Googles things 20 to 30 times a day. Even at that rate, Wright says it wouldn't be that different if Google wasn't around. "Another company would try to mo-
nopolize the Internet. It would be the same as Google, just as a different name."
Wright's thoughts are also shared by Julie Loats, the director of enterprise applications and services for KU Information Technology. Both agree that without Google, many would be "in the dark" due to how much we rely on the search engine for our everyday information needs. This ranges from just searching for information to having your appointments saved on a Google calendar.
CHRIS NEAL
In the end, life wouldn't be that much different if Google wasn't around. Instead of Google+, it would be Yahoo+ or Bing docs instead of Google docs. So don't be afraid if Google vanishes one day. It will most likely be back, just under a different name.
GET SOME CULTURE // TAI KWON DO CLUB
> it's not all about fast food and beer pong.
Contributed photo Get Kicked Into Shape: The KU Tai Kwon Do Club offers a different way to work out.
Running on the treadmill or lifting weights can get you in shape, but the KU Tai Kwon Do Club offers a way to kick your butt into shape as well as teach you self-protection.
Charlotte Davis, the club's president and a junior from Shawnee, started attending when she was a freshman. She says the club helped boost her confidence with the work she put in to reach her current blue-belt status.
By attending the club, you learn from two black belt teachers who teach you from the basics all the way up to the most difficult techniques. You also get to break wooden boards.
Mercedes Fergus, a freshman from Wichita,
learned about the club during orientation, and now attends twice a week. Unlike many of the other new club members, Fergus has been into Tai Kwon Do for several years and has already obtained her second-degree black belt status.
"It keeps you active and in shape, but it's a lot of hard work." Fergus says.
If you're looking for a better work out and maybe some protection skills, you can learn Tai Kwon Do for $60 a semester. The club meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Martial Arts room at the Ambler Student Recreation Center.

Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling. I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
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.
The losses haven't been ordinary, either. Kansas has allowed 30 points or more in

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
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.
The numbers really appear 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.
"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 Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks have lost the last four games against the Red Raiders.
