Any funny moments while you were teaching? I was giving a test about "Congress and Presidency." In the test was the term "filbuster," in which someone gives a long speech to delay the passing of a bill. In the middle of the lecture hall, this girl got up and said, "I got filbustered all night long," and everyone in the room started laughing.
Remember any crazy moments
while you were in college? There was this one night I was asleep in my dorm room and this guy was pounding on all the doors on my floor saying "Norm." He was looking for a guy named Norm on my floor. When he found him he said, "Norm, you peed on me." Apparently they had gone out and were trashed and the guy had passed out in this area where they had used the restroom. There was a big argument about it at 4 a.m. It was pretty crazy.

Selling fire alarms door-to-door.

Luck of the draw
odd news Finding of beached vows gives couple new hope
Edited by Rachel Bock
RACINE, Wis. — Melody Kloska and Matt Behrs take it as a sign they were meant to get married.
After tying the knot on a Lake Michigan beach on Aug.18, they released a bottle containing their wedding vows. A few weeks later, the bottle was found by Fred and Lynnette Dubendorf, of Mears, Mich., who were also married on a beach — exactly 28 years before Kloska and Behrs.
"It was meant to be,"Kloska said. "This was a sign to me."
Kloska, 46, and Behrs, 41,
have been together for five
years, but with several failed
marriages between them, they
had doubts about remarrying.
When it was time to throw the bottle sealed with their name, address and wedding vows into the lake, Behrs went to the rock farthest in the water.
The bottle landed across Lake Michigan, where Lynnette spied it while walking her dogs. She wrote Kloska and Behrs to tell them.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CAMPUS BICYCLERS BEING SUBJECT TO AUTOMOBILE LAWS?
SARAH GOYEN Kingman sophomore "It's just ridiculous for bicyclists to get pulled over. They're not cars."
MEGAN HOMOLKA Claflin senior
KELLY ROY
Hays freshman
"They should abide by car rules,
but I don't think that the police
should really be stopping them."
"They should have to follow rules like everyone else. It makes car drivers less secure when people on bikes don't follow rules because it could result in the loss of lives."
CHRIS SEIB
Overland Park freshman "They should have to follow the same rules as cars unless they're on the sidewalk. On the street they should be subject to the same laws as everyone else."
