CAMPUS
New literary journal recruiting creativity
NIKKI WENTLING

Students looking to display their writing now have an alternative creative outlet. The Siren, the University's new online, student-run literary journal is looking for contributors.
OUT WITH THE OLD
Brendan Allen, a senior from Phillipsburg, and Becky Mandelbaum, a senior from Wichita, are co-editors of the journal. Both were on the staff of Comma, Splice, an annual literary magazine. After the magazine was discontinued last semester, Allen and Mandelbaum collaborated to create a forum for student work that is strictly online.
Now, the duo is forming a staff and looking for interested students to submit poetry, fiction and iron-fiction, as well as interviews with writers and reviews of stories and books.
Kiosk vs. Siren
"We want this to be a journal for KU undergrads, first and foremost. As much interest and as much passion as we can get into it, the better, for both longevity sake and for the quality of the journal," Allen said. "Hopefully this is something that can keep going for years to come."
KIOSK
A print publication comprising student writing and art that is distributed on campus and in Lawrence semi-annually.
Unlike Kiosk, which is a student-run magazine that is printed and distributed on campus and in Lawrence once a semester, the Siren will not have a printed edition. Allen and Mandelbaum want to release one "issue" each semester by posting a large amount of creative writing at one time; the first of these issues will come out before winter break. Between these releases, interviews and reviews will be posted periodically.
Mandelbaum said the online journal would reach a wider audience than a print publication because it is more accessible.
"With a lot of print journals, people pick one up and flip through it, but they don't really read through the whole thing."

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION Apple releases the iPhone 5 this fall, and with it an older generation of iPhones will hit the used electronics market. Websites such as Craigslist.org, Buybackworld.com, and Jrecycling.com help people sell used technology.

An online-only journal comprising student writing and interviews, that is updated periodically throughout the year, with major releases of student work once per semester.
Mandelbaum said. "With an online journal, people can go on online whenever they have time. We're just trying to find quality writing at KU and put it in one place so people can see what is going on in the writing community here."
To submit to the Siren, visit the website at sirenjournal.dept.ku.edu. Submissions will be edited and selected by the editorial staff. For inquiries about joining the Siren staff, email Allen and Mandelaum at sirenjournal@gmail.com.
Allen said he hopes to get as many people involved as possible to create a diverse mixture of student writing.
"No one is completely dominating the direction of the journal," he said. "When you have one person doing a blog, it's just that one person's point of view; it can get narrow. We want to make sure that many people have the possibility to have their voices heard."

With the new iPhone coming out this fall, now is the time for students to sell old electronics to get the biggest bang for their buck.
Students can save money buying used electronics and make quick cash selling old devices.
There are several ways to buy or sell electronics online. One of the most-used websites is Craigslist. Students can buy, sell or trade electronics with people from their area. Garrett Johnson, a sophomore from Erie, sold a PS2 with controllers and some games on Craigslist for $100. He then bought a Sony surround sound system, a $300 value, for $100.
"It makes so much more sense to do it this way. You pay a little bit and get the exact same thing you would if you were buying it brand new," Johnson said.
An Xbox 360 in working condition sells for around $90 on Craigslist while it ranges between $199-$299 brand new. A 40-inch Samsung LCD TV was posted in the Lawrence area for $450 but costs $649.99 at Best Buy. An 80 gigabyte iPod video classic is $150 and is listed at $220 new on Amazon.
Shubbankar Mathur, a sophomore from Eden Prairie, Minn., sold a PS3 along with four video games and controllers for $250 on Craiglist.
"I used it for a year, but I sold it because I wanted some spending money. I bought it on Black Friday for $150 so I ended up making $100 in the end," Mathur said.
Another website students can use to sell old phones and other electronics is Buybackworld.com. The process takes three steps:
Search for your device, answer four questions about the condition of your device and immediately get a quote for how much it is worth. A 16 GB iPhone 4 in good condition is worth $176. A 32 GB iPad with Wi-Fi capabilities is worth $174.
Another website that has three different ways for people to recycle electronics is Grrecycling.com. People can fundraise through cellphone recycling, selling used
phones for money or donate cellphones to benefit soldiers.
The value of all old iPhones will decrease as soon as the new model is launched.
Most cellphone carriers have a buy-back program for customers. At Verizon Wireless a working 16 GB iPhone 4S with no cracks is worth $230. Once you ship the device, Verizon will send you a gift card redeemable at any
Verizon location.
Sprint also has a buyback program. Users can sell old phones and receive store credit or can use the money to pay bills. A 16 GB iPhone 3GS is worth $80 at the Sprint store and a 16 GB iPhone 4 is worth $150.

Tibetan monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastery in South India create a sand mandala for world peace at the Spencer Museum of Art. They will continue working on the mandala until Friday afternoon when the artwork will be carried down to Potter Lake and destroyed as part of a ceremony.

Monks build sand artwork to promote world peace

With the slow rap of two metal tubes, tiny, colorful grains of sand slid into place. A Tibetan Buddhist monk dressed in traditional robes fastidiously funneled the sand into its place in the sand mandala (a Sanskrit word meaning "circle") for world peace at the Spencer Museum of Art yesterday afternoon.
"They are here to spread the mission of love and kindness and compassion that they so strongly believe in," said Kevin Mullin, a tour coordinator for the monks.
The event is part of a series on Tibetan culture this week at the University.
When completed on Friday, the circular mandala will be about five feet in diameter and its design will showcase 12 different religions.
the four seasons and the four elements, as well as other aspects of traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture.
Mullin said the monks want to promote world peace while also raising awareness about China's oppressive policies against Tibetan Buddhists.
Spectators could make donations or purchase Tibetan art, jewelry and books. Mullin said the money is used to support their monastery, Drepung Gomang Monastic College, which has about 2,000 monks.
just how straight he's making the lines."
Spatial limitations allow for only one monk to work on the mandala during the first stages of construction, so several other monks walked around speaking with students, reading and praying.
Tenin Dekyong, one of the monks, said their hope is not to push their religion on others but to allow spectators to observe and possibly participate.
"I could definitely stay and watch some more," said Sarah Travis, a senior from Lawrence. "It's just so interesting to watch
"We will be doing chanting and praying in the mornings and at night so they can come and watch and meditate if they would like," Dekyong said.
Construction will continue today at 11:30 a.m. and at various times until 2 p.m. Friday. After completion, the mandala will be customarily dismantled in a ceremonial procession from the Spencer Museum of Art to Potter Lake.
Tibet Week will close with a cultural pageant performance on Friday at 7 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
