ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // FIRST AID KITS
> It's not all about fast food and beer pong.
The slip of a knife. A tumble on gravel. An ankle twist. They're accidents we don't like to think about, but with a first aid kit handy, we can always be prepared.
"They come in really handy for minor injuries," Michelle Woods, Washington, Mo. graduate student, says. Woods learned how to assemble a first aid kit when she took an undergraduate course in responding to emergencies. Today, she keeps kits in her house and car.
"You never know when you're going to have an emergency," Kristy Bellinger, Health and
Photo by Lindsay Siegle Just in case. Preparing a first aid kit with medical essentials will help in emergency situations.
Bellinger recommends keeping a first aid kit in your car for on-the-go emergencies and another kit at home. She says first-aid-kit essentials are gauze, Band-Aids, antibiotic ointment, Asperin, a blanket, a pocket mask for CPR, gloves, a thermometer and triangular bandages for fashioning arm slings.
Safety Director at the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross, says. Bellinger has used her own first aid kit to help friends and even strangers in need. "I would recommend for all college students to have a first aid kit of some kind."
If you're putting together a smaller kit, perfect for fitting in your purse or backpack. Bellinger recommends four products: gloves, Band-Aids, gauze and a roller bandage.
You can ditch the guesswork by buying pre-assembled kits, which many stores sell. Walmart and Amazon.com sell kits for as little as $12.

Dylan Armstrong launches the shot put high into the air during his third throw at the Kansas Relays' Olympic Men's Shot Put held downtown between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets on Eighth Street Wednesday night. The Olympic men's shot put featured eight of the world's best shot putters. Armstrong who came into the competition ranked No. 7 in the world won the meet with a throw of 70 1/4".
The shot put was held in the streets for the first time in the United States in a makeshift ring. Armstrong said the event organizers got everything right. The only nuisance was the telephone line hanging overhead. Armstrong hit the power line on one of his warm-up throws. Despite this, the consensus from the competitors was that Lawrence successfully pulled off the shot put.
"It's really unique to see that kind of crowd gathered for just one event in track and field," said Adam Nelson, who placed third. "I think Lawrence did a fantastic job hosting it."
An estimated 2,500 fans really got into the meet when Nelson stepped up to take his first throw. His warm-up routine consists of him urging the crowd into a rhythm clap, enthusiastically pulling off his shirt, and then hopping down the runway. Nelson did this on all six of his
"I was hoping to get a throw out over 70 feet today," Nelson said. "But I was just having a slight technical, like a timing issue at the front of the circle."

TRACK & FIELD
Neville dominates first day,scores 3,125 points

Rebecca Neville won three of the four events in the women's heptathlon Wednesday and ended the day in the lead with 3.125 points. Neville won the 100-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash, and the high jump. She also placed seventh in the shot put.
The weather was colder than anticipated, resulting in slower times in Neville's events. Despite this, Neville said she was pleased with her performances.
"The 100 hurdles, it was a slow time, but it was 40 degrees outside," Neville said. "So to run a 14.35 in 40 degree weather, that's OK."
"High jump was awesome today," Neville said. "My third attempt I did a time foul so I couldn't get to do my third attempt, but it's OK."
Despite not doing her best in the hurdles, Nevada did set a personal record in the shot put and high jump. She recorded a jump of 5 feet, 5.75 inches in the high jump and a recorded a throw of 31 feet, 5.25 inches in the shot put.
The 200-meter dash was Neville's last event of the day. She came close to setting her third personal best of the day, finishing with a time of 25.12 seconds. So far, Neville is performing better than she did two weeks ago at the Texas Relays, and more importantly, she is beating a rival.
"A girl that I'm beating right now from Nebraska beat me at Indoor Big 12," Neville said. "That's just showing me how much better I'm getting as we move on in the season."
Neville said she planned to take an ice bath, eat a good meal and get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run set for Thursday. She said she is more than ready for the competition and plans to "kick butt."
"I don't care if it hurts in the 800," Neville said. "It's the last event."

When the biggest surprise about a Saturday night arrest is that the point guard wasn't there, that's an issue. A DUI is an issue. A pair of on-campus fights with members of the football team is an issue. Three different battery charges are issues.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, it's because I'm desperately turning a blind eye because, hey, these guys are world-class athletes, and they sure do win a lot of basketball games.
It is past time to shine a harsh and unforgiving light on the Kansas basketball program and the real and numerous problems that have been haunting it over the last few years.
Start six years ago, when J.R. Giddens was stabbed in a 2005 fight that witnesses said he instigated. C.J. Giles, who was there at the Giddens stabbing, was arrested for battery in 2005. Sherron Collins was charged with sexual assault, though the charges were dropped when Collins filed a counterclaim for defamation. Then there was Markieff Morris' battery charge. Morningstar's DUI. Fights with the football team, highlighted by Tyshawn Taylor's injury and Facebook posts. Little's battery charge. And now Robinson's.
This isn't to say these are all bad kids. The Morris twins have grown into quality young men since coming to Kansas and Robinson has been through more crap than anyone could be reasonably expected to handle over the last few months. And Self is by no means an evil tyrant. He genuinely cares about the off-court development of his players, and has sent off guys — namely Giles and Giddens — who were a real detriment to the program
If you want to criticize Kansas coach Bill Self, don't do it over tournament losses. Criticize him for the rap sheet his program has accumulated over his tenure.
But the problem clearly hasn't been addressed in full, and it needs to be. Forget, for a moment, wins and losses, and look at that list. Forget that you're a Jayhawk fan, and tell me if you would root for that team.
Pretty tough, isn't it?
