THAT'S DISGUSTING // BEETLES USED AS DYE > Dude...gross.
Beetlejuice might bring back memories of your childhood summer camp or make you think of Winona Ryder, but what about as an ingredient in cosmetics and even foods?
Carmine is a natural red coloring extracted from the cochineal beetle of South America and is used to dye a variety of products from cosmetics to yogurt and salad dressings. Although Sophia Wornick, a freshman from San Francisco, isn't concerned about the products she enjoys containing carmine, the thought of eating or drinking something colored with crushed up beetle shells grosses her out. "I'm a vegetarian so that's totally disgusting to me," Wornick says.
Jessica Jones-Dille, marketing manager for Wild Flavors, Inc., Erlanger, Ken., who sells carmine and other natural dyes to manufacturers, says most people don't know carmine comes from beetles. Jones-Dille says manufacturers want natural ingredients so their products are label friendly.
Manufactures often chose carmine over
other natural red dyes because it is more stable and doesn't fade. Carmine performs like red-40 without having the negative effects of synthetic dye, Jones-Dille says. A 2007 study from South Hampton, United Kingdom, linked artificial colors to hyperactivity in children. Jones-Dille says that because of the study there has been an increased interest in natural alternatives to artificial dyes especially in products for children.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS// If you're going to do it, be smart.

WALKING TO CLASS
Whether it's hot or cold, rain or shine, it's easy to find an excuse to not make that extra effort to walk across campus. It's simple, but when the weather's uncomfortable, it can seem difficult to climb the mountainous hills and hundreds of steps to trek across campus.
Benefits like improving your posture and in creasing your blood circulation may be worth walking, says Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Student Health Services.
Quinlan recommends getting at least 30 minutes of exercise a day to stay healthy. There's a greater benefit by doing one 30 minute workout since it increases your pulse and heart rate, Quinlan says. But still completing the 30 minutes during the day is better than no exercise.
An easy way do get your daily exercise in, is by walking to classes instead of taking the buses and elevators. On average, there are 16,600 KU on Wheels rides a day, wrote Margreta de Vries, parking commission secretary at KU Parking & Transit. With 29,462 students enrolled last year, according to University

statistics, about every one-in-two students ride a bus.
If it takes ten minutes to walk to one class and you have three classes, you are done with your workout for the day, Quinlan says.
There are an estimated 30,000 steps on campus, says Curtis Marsh, program director of KU Info. With this many steps, it's easy to get a good workout on your way to class. If you want a more challenging workout, consider jogging up the steps, Quinlan says.

GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU // 3-D GLASSES
Like many students, Mary Kate Sheehan saw the final Harry Potter movie this summer, but not just the regular 2-D movie. Sheehan, a freshman from Lynnfield, Mass., experienced Harry Potter in 3-D. "It definitely gets you into the movie, like you're a part of it," Sheehan says. She says she enjoyed the 3-D version even though it made her motion sick at times.
The 3-D experience has hit theaters across the nation, but what are the effects of the 3-D craze on our eyes? At this point, nobody knows the short or long term effects because no studies have been done, says Scott Hickman an optometrist at Lawrence Eye Care Associates. Children typically develop the ability to see
3-D by age 3. There is a possibility that when young children watch 3-D, they prevent this development, but this has not been proven, Hickman says.

For adults, eye conditions often cause problems when watching 3-D. "If you get fatigue or a headache when watching 3-D, take it as a warning sign and see the eye doctor," Hickman says. The most common conditions that cause problems are Amblyopia, more commonly known as lazy eye, and Strabismus, where the eyes are misaligned with each other.
"If you've seen your optometrist recently and don't have any eye condition, it is probably okay to enjoy 3-D," Hickman says.
Verdict: Good for the you if you've had a recent eye exam and no eye problems.

"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiasto 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.
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.
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 nothing 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 Jayhawks.
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.
"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."

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, frehsman receiver, said.
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.
Hill is the lone offensive leader from the 2010 Yellow Jackets to return, after quarterback Joshua
600 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 Illinois tailbacks only 58 vards 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"
