Chris Worley
BY KATHERINE LESLIE
Chris Worley, Columbia, Mo., junior, has not only thought of the perfect pick-up line for Saturday nights (which he has yet to try out, ladies, so be prepared), but is also the self-proclaimed "nice guy on campus". He is the president of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, earns good grades, plays intramural basketball and co-ed football, and (gasp) can even cook!
Chris began his college career as an architecture major, but is undecided because his studio arts class professor "only focused on his own interests, and architecture history was absolutely and completely dull."
Despite encountering some lackluster professors, he still believes the best decision he ever made was coming to the University of Kansas; that and getting hooked on the "Colbert Report," the only show that can keep
One of Worley's most interesting college experiences is a trip he took with friends to Manhattan for a quiz bowl style tournament. They stayed in an EconoLodge, where he said the bathroom sink leaked so much they put a wastebasket under it (which filled up by morning) and the shower sprayed more water on the ceiling than the person showering.
a joke about a broken wrist alive for three weeks.
"There was also a little knife stuck to the door where the escape map should be. It was really creepy," Worley said.
His favorite band is the Avett Brothers, a folk and blue grass ensemble, but he also listens to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to mix things up.
By the time Worley reaches old age and begins thinking back on the good ol' days, what he wants most is to be able to say that he's lived with no regrets and taken risks and opportunities when they came his
way, as long as those opportunities don't involve going back to work for a cranky old man who complains about how Worley mowed the lawn.
For all the gals who would like to meet this paragon of virtue, his favorite spots on campus are the Campanile, Potter's Lake, the Student Recreation and Fitness Center's basketball court, Danfort Chapel and all the home football and basketball games.
Don't be alarmed by his seeming perfection— Chris has made a few mistakes along the way.
"I once bought this long sleeve T-shirt with sleeves that went all the way over my hand with a hole for each thumb," Worley said. "I wore it quite a bit in the seventh grade."
Oh, and for those who want to know what Chris' perfect pick-up line is, it goes something like this: "How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice! Hi, I'm Chris."

Peeping tom sues police for porn collection
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A man recently jailed for secretly videotaping a woman and a teenage girl has sued a police department for the return of his massive porn collection taken during the investigation.
Dennis Saunders, 59, filed suit against San Rafael police in Marin County Superior Court after the department refused to give back some 500 pornographic movies and 250 magazines his lawyer described as unrelated to the peeping case.
"There's absolutely no legal foundation for them withholding perfectly legal adult-oriented material," Tiburon attorney Jon Rankin said.
The video collection alone was likely worth at least $10,000. Rankin said.
Saunders was arrested in 2002 and charged with taping the 45-year-old woman and 16-year-old girl in their bedrooms and bathrooms at an apartment complex where he worked. He was convicted of 48 misdemeanors and sentenced to more than eight years in jail, but was released last month with credit for good behavior.
A lawyer representing the city said authorities wanted direction from a judge on whether it would be "lawful or appropriate" to return the material to Saunders, who has a history of peeping-related arrests dating back to 1979.
"If the court orders us to give it back to him, we will give it back to him," city lawyer Thomas Bertrand said.

The truckers pulled alongside each other and slowed to about 5 mph, forming a rolling roadblock. The fleeing driver stopped and fled on foot but was quickly captured, authorities said.
Trucker Edwin Beach said he had heard police radio traffic and said, "OK, where's the high-speed chase at?" He coordinated with two other drivers over CB and placed his truck in the middle on Interstate 84.
"We were all kind of laughing because he was running down the freeway," said Beach, of Kelso, Wash. Identities of the other two truckers were not immediately available.
The fleeing car had been reported to have been involved in a hit-and-run.
The chase began Saturday near Boardman and ended near the John Day Dam on the Columbia River about 100 miles east of Portland, police said. Speeds during the chase exceeded 100 mph.
