'Nooks and Crannies Historic Pioneer Cemetary
"Really?" would likely be the response if you were tell a student that there's a cemetary on campus. Historic Pioneer Cemetery sits on West Campus, across the street from the Kansas University Endowment Association. Opened in 1854 as Oread Cemetary, the small burial ground is the final resting place of civil war heroes, former University faculty and four victims of Quantrill's massacre. Eighteen small white headstones mark the graves of members of the 13th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, who died of typhoid in 1862. The Kansas University Endowment Association took ownership of the cemetary in 1953 and the cemetary reopened in 1968. People are still being buried at the cemetary.

QUINOA AND BEEF DISH
Hamilton Suh, 20, offers this inexpensive, delectable dish for the health-conscious. And he would know. Suh works at Local Burger, 711 Vermont St., a restaurant that focuses on preparing healthier food with no additives or preservatives.
INGREDIENTS 1 box of quinoa
1 lb. beef or elk meat Water Raw carrots or broccoli
Pour the box of quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) into a rice cooker. For every cup of quinoa, add two cups of water. Leave in rice cooker for about 15 minutes.
Why use quinoa?
Believe it or not, the small grain contains more protein than any other grain and more calcium than milk.
"It's very,very healthy,but not that many people know about it," Suh said.
Next, put the meat into a pan and keep an eye on it, mixing it around until browned.
Suh purchases his meat at Local Burger, where it is sold by the pound. He said he bought either beef or elk meat and put the meat he didn't use in the refrigerator for next time.
"The meats that come from here I know are straight from the farms."
Suh said. "They're not going to have any added hormones."
Once browned, mix the meat on a plate with the cooked quinoa. You can add any vegetables to your liking. Suh usually cuts up raw carrots or broccoli.
Now, you have a meal that can serve two people.
"It does the trick," Suh said. "It's not really culinary, but it's healthy, it fills me up and it's tasty."
