KJHK Caller Asks: I've been in a casual sexual relationship with this girl for about four months. Two months ago, we decided that all either of us wanted was casual sex. I have grown weary of it though and I am ready to move on. What is the appropriate way to end this affair? Can it be done over e-mail? The phone? Or does having slept with her for four months earn this woman the right to be "broken up" with in person? Michelle Answers: Casual sex relationships are great in theory. In reality, these relationships can produce unwanted anxiety or feelings in conflict with your prenegotiated terms. In your case, conflict surrounds your decision to break things off. If the relationship is 100 percent casual with no feelings or expectations attached, and you have no plans to see her again, why go through any "break up" plan? Respond to her next suggestion of sex with a polite, "No, I'm no longer interested." Unfortunately for you, I don't get the feeling your relationship is as void of emotional attachment as you lead me to believe. The simple fact you are in conflict about how to end this affair suggests you or your sex buddy developed some attachment. From your description of the situation, I get the impression you are leery of the feelings she might be developing. I understand you set boundaries but casual relationships never remain 100 percent free from emotion. Now, you must give her the heave-ho in a respectful way. Try a phone call or a polite, but brief face-to-face meeting. She showed you some good times, right? Exit the relationship with class and respect. In the future, think twice before entering into another "casual" sex relationship. Contributed Photo Michelle MacBain is a graduate student from Kansas City.

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? Clearinghouse has had ample time to die around and make a ruling. o dig around and make a jump. I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players. Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse. I'm arguing for a ruling. Edited by Jonathan Shorman 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. VIC SHEALY Defensive coordinator The losses haven't been, ordinary, either. Kansas has allowed 30 points or more in back to get him out of the rhythm." 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." 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. What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the laffawks. Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior Y Y 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. 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." 47 Edited by Jennifer DiDonato CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN FILE PHOTO CHRIS BRUNSON/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Facing a threatening offense, Kansas will need a new defensive strategy to beat Texas Tech.
