KANSAS IN HEAT // HOW TO HAVE A ONE-NIGHT STAND > Tackling the sticky situation of relationships
> Tackling the sticky situation of relation
1. Don't get drunk!
The decisions you make under the influence may not be the same ones you make when sober. In The Journal of Studies on Alcohol, Antonia Abbey and her colleges found that, while under the influence, partner risk (risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection), did not influence willingness to have unprotected sex. Even though there was an acknowledged risk of contracting a STI from this one-night stand, unprotected sex would still occur if the person had been drinking.
2. Be armed and ready for battle.
Condoms are a must for sex with anyone other than a monogamous partner. Unfortunately, condoms don't protect against all STIs. Let's not forget that STIs can be transmitted through other ways. The medical profession has seen a growing trend of chlamydia and gonorrhea found in the throats of patients who participate in unprotected oral sex. Before you meet up with your one-night stand, use this check-list of sex armor:
-Male condoms: lubricated, non-lubricated, spermicidal lubricant, magnums, for her pleasure, latex, and non-latex. Arm yourself with a smorgasbord.
-Female condoms: unlike male condoms, can be inserted prior to sex play and provide protection for the outer part of the vagina.
-Dental dam (a flat, square piece of latex used for a barrier during cunningilus, fellatio, and anal play). If you can't locate a dental dam, try this: carefully cut a condom length-wise from the base to tip and spread out over the genitals.
-A small vibrator. This allows for pleasure without genital, anal, or oral contact.
3. Be Honest. Discuss your sexual history nast and current STIs.
If you approach the subject of sexual history and possibility of transmitting or contracting STIs and your partner refuses to disclose, leave immediately! What do you have to lose except the not guaranteed possibility of orgasm? Can someone lie during a one-night stand? Absolutely! Which is why having your sex armor is so important.
4. Have foreplay with the lights on.
In addition to the turn-on of seeing your partner being pleasured, having the lights on is a great way to further establish safe sex. In this brighter environment, you can explore your partners genitals and look for any sores, scars, bumps, or warts. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, you can politely excuse yourself.
5. Be prepared for bad sex!
You cannot anticipate your partner's sexual knowledge or skill. Be prepared for a less-than-enjoyable tryst. There are no guarantees for satisfying one-night stands.
6. Don't exchange contact information. Don't promise to call.
If you discover a potential dating partner, don't have a one-night stand with him or her! This is a one-time experience without emotional investment. Communication of expectations and having a mutual understanding of post-coital conduct is a must. Wait to have sex with someone you fancy outside the bedroom.

FIVE QUESTIONS// TECH N9NE & MICHAEL DELICH
AARON "TECH N9NE " YATES
> Two people. Five Questions. See how they stack up.
CHRISTINE CURTIN
My kids. They're the biggest Tech N9ne fans that I know all 3 of them1
Christiania, Denmark. If you've ever been to Denmark and visited Christiania, you'll know why. I can't say in case my kids are reading this, but you'll know.
Who's your inspiration?
MICHAEL DELICH
I'm a night person because I'm a vampire, stupid – didn't you know that?
Five Guys. They're the only place that I can find or create a barbecue burger.
I like the vibe from all the fans, mostly female. They really love great music. I had my first paid show there when I was in my teens and it's been wonderful ever since.
Favorite place to visit?
Gallagher, a comedian, because he smashed fruit for a living.
Are you a morning person or night person?
Lake of the Ozarks. You never know what to expect when you spend a weekend down there, if you know what I mean.
Favorite fast food restaurant?
Night person, because I can eat fourth meal at Taco Bell.
What do you like best about Lawrence?
Taco Bell, obviously, because it stays open late.
Football gamedays. You'll always find fun adventures on those days.
Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.

Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.
"Big plays are huge in college football," Long said. "It's very

"We feel like we have a running game that is built for explosive plays," Webb said. "We can get the 70 and 60 yarders out of the running game just as easy as the passing game."
Even though the run-game is full of playmakars, the receivers are without one, of their top players. Senior Daymond
Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd, who caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns in his Kansas debut, will replace Patterson with his 4.5 speed.
The newfound, ground-heavy attack is far away from the spread offense Mark Mangino ran, but that doesn't mean that a more balanced style won't provide just as many opposing, defense-killing, scoring opportunities.
"When you look at steady offenses like that in the past, they are traditionally run-play action pass teams and a lot of times they get open," receivers coach David Beaty said. "They don't have a whole lot of passes in the game, but a lot of times they count for big points. That's the direction our offense is headed in."
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb hands the ball to freshman running back Darrian Miller. "We did exactly what we wanted to do. We ran the ball and as quartbacks and receivers we made the plays that we needed to and that's the team we need to be," Webb said.
