DOING WITHOUT // CARBOHYDRATES
> Absence makes the heart grow...?

Pasta. Smothered in cheese and served with hot, garlic breadsticks. Sounds heavenly if you ask me. While it is nearly impossible to completely go without carbohydrates, I will admit my food pyramid could be a little more balanced. Between working at an Italian restaurant and being too tired and lazy to do much more than boil some water for mac and cheese, I eat pasta at least three times a week.
I had always thought that going on a low-carb diet would be too difficult; I loved my carb-heavy foods too much to give them up. Nevertheless I decided to give it a try, cutting out pasta, breadsticks and crackers for the
week. At first I was at a loss, I didn't want to eat salad two meals a day for a week, even though I do enjoy it. So I did some research and found lean proteins like salmon, eggs and chicken are low in carbohydrates.
In the beginning it was tempting to grab a breadstick at work after being in class all day and getting to my shift starving. It got easier; I would make a salad for lunch, and then try a new recipe for dinner, like honey-mustard salmon, which turned out to be pretty awesome. "Low-carb diets can be effective, but they are more of a fad diet," says Ann Chapman, registered dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "They are hard to maintain because you get tired of not eating grains."
While I would never want to give up carbs for good, it did make me think about my eating habits and it was definitely easier to work out without a heavy meal in my stomach.

GET SOME CULTURE // GLORIOUS TO VIEW PROJECT

Did you know? A new exhibit offers little known facts about campus.
How much do you know about the KU campus? Did you know there used to be swimming at Potter Lake? Or that Fraser Hall once looked completely different? "Glorious to View: the KU Campus Heritage Project" exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art focuses on the prior history of campus with a modern twist.
The exhibit runs through the end of the year and is a unique collaboration between the Spencer Museum of Art staff, Spencer Research Library and advanced graphic design students. It features Spooner Hall, Fraser Hall, Old North College and Potter Lake.
Each historic site has a dedicated panel designed by the students that features images from the University archives tying in old to new. The panels feature black and white photographs, color paintings, and text about each site. "These places have been alive for a long time. People have been walking the routes I take for almost 150 years," Chassica Kirchhoff, a graduate student from Springfield, Mo., says. Kirchhoff helped write the text for the panels.
This is the first time students have been able to work with the museum's staff to create something, rather than an exhibit of established pieces. "It's a chance for people to see real-time original graphic arts products, being made by students, and see how they bring history to the present," says Susan Earle, curator of European and American art at the Spencer Museum of Art. "Our hope is that seeing the history reinigorates students and gets them involved in campus."

'decade of dominance' is one of the bigger fallacies of my life. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If worse else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.
them even more dangerous than last year's team that was upset by the lahaywhs.

The Jayhawk scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing," Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.
Hill leads the Yellow Jackets receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch.

“it's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK,” Keeston Terry, freshman receiver, said.
Hill is the lone offensive leader from the 2010 Yellow Jackets to return, after quarterback Joshua
Washington is primarily the passing quarterback, throwing for 473 yards, but Days is the leading rusher for the Yellow Jackets, with 29 carries and 146 yards.
has never missed a beat, then rushing attack ranks third in the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing offense ranks 23rd, averaging 289.5 yards per game.
"Guys have to show up and make plays," Bradley McDougall, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to have to make plays in the open field."
Last week, the Jayhawks struggled to defend the pass, allowing Chandler Harnish to accumulate 315 yards through the air. Georgia Tech's option offense relies heavily on the run, which could tip the scales in favor of the
Jayhawks' defense that has been tough against opposing tailbacks, allowing Northern III nois tailbacks only 58 yards last week.
"That is the whole crutch of
handling the option is that you have to be assignment oriented." Shealy said. "I think when you look at assignments, by nature it slows you down a little bit, and
we want guys playing free and fast and canceling gaps and pushing the ball to the sideline"
