GRAD CHECK
Each year students make the legendary through the Campanile, down The Hill and into the real world. We're here to check in on them.
Graduate: Sarah Schirmer
Year: 2004
Hometown: Circleville
Degree: Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting
Today: Schirmer works at Big Daddy Cadillac's Tattoos and Piercing, 16 E. Eighth St. She schedules appointments at the front desk and advises clients about their permanent decisions. At work she draws signs for the shop and comes up with her own paintings. She usually paints surreal subjects using oil paints and fabric. She plans on showing her work in Lawrence's "Red Balloon To-Do" art show this fall.
On the Job: Some of Schirmer's memorable experiences include a man who had an evil pumpkin tattooed on his knee on 6-6-06 and a man who had lettering tattooed on his penis.
Back in the day: While at KU, Schirmer took a professional activities seminar, which she says was helpful because it showed her how to get her work out
there for people to see.
Schirmer says: "Are you sure
you want it there?"
"I wouldn't mind tattooing or marrying a rich old man so I could sit in my studio and paint all day."
"There's always something out there to learn."

MIND YOUR MANNERS
The cell phone has come a long way since Zack Morris introduced his bulky mobile to pop culture in 1989.People get away with chatting on their phones throughout the day, but gabbing through a meal is a definite no-no.
When you're out to dinner or enjoying a meal elsewhere avoid
cell phone chatting. it's annoying to wait staff and the company you're with, says Sean Patrick, manager at Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St. A meal can be an intimate time, so be respectful of your fellow diners.Catch up on the day's drama another time — away from the dinner table.

health tip of the week
SUMMER MAY BE COMING TO AN END BUT THE SUN'S RAYS BURN YEAR-ROUND.
Sunscreen is a great start, but loading up on antioxidants can also shield your skin and prevent skin cancer, according to an article on scientedaily. com. Popular antioxidants include green tea and vitamins A, E and C, says Becca Evanhoe, Health and Body Care Buyer
If you don't fancy taking supplements, newer skin care products and sunscreens have started including these ingredients, Evanhoe says.
