10 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 2007 NEWS | THE UNIVERSITY JAHN KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM PROFILE (CONTINUED FROM 4) "I love meeting new people," said Marling. "Meeting new people is like exploring the world. I really want to get to know them. I ask lots of questions. I don't just want to know what they're like, I want to know why." Angela McNulty, Olathe senior, and Marling's co-worker at Paisano's, said that Marling's personality allows her to make friends easily. "She's very outgoing and talkative. She's always laughing and making jokes," said McNulty. "At work she'll always be in a good mood, even when none of us want to be there. She makes the best out of a bad situation." Meeting new people is also a method to generate new stories. "Real life inspires most of my stories," said Marling. "I like to pay attention to the quirky things about people and smash them all together for a story." Marling hasn't had any of her work published, although that's not a pressing concern. Ultimately, she writes for one audience. "I write for me. Outside of writing, I don't think I'm very creative. Everyone has a recreation that makes them feel good. Writing is what I do." - Edited by Ben Smith ROTC (CONTINUED FROM 6) "Our disposition in Iraq does not act in any way as a deterrent to my enrollment in ROTC," he said. Sgt. 1st Class Antonio Talbert, a recruiter at the Lawrence Army National Guard Recruiting Center, 2223 Louisiana St., said that much like the ROTC program on campus, the recruiting center hasn't seen any drop off in enlistments since the announcement of the troop surge. "It's not just about Iraq,it's about wanting to be a soldier and taking advantage of the benefits that the service offers." Sgt. 1st class Talbert said,"People who join up do it to protect the freedoms of their country and their kids and their grandkids. That doesn't change, regardless of what conflicts are going on."
