Ryan Rabe knows how to work the system. An accounting and finance major, Rabe figured out his sophomore year that he could make connections and earn money by becoming a teaching assistant. After taking Finance 310, "Finance," in the spring 2005, Rabe enjoyed the courts, so much that he never left.
"I enjoy being able to help people, and it makes you famous," Rabe said.
Now in his fourth semester of helping teach the class, Rabe, Overland Park senior, has a special attachment to it. The exposure to a different perspective of campus and the relationships he has made with faculty have drawn him back to help teach each semester. Another benefit of being a TA is the opportunity to work with students.
Ryan Rabe
He said that students in his section liked him because he gave out extra credit. When Rabe isn't working as a TA, he spends his time overseeing the Undergraduate Business Council. Rabe worked his way from Food Stop volunteer to president of the UBC, supervising all 11 organizations affiliated with the School of Business.
His commitments leave him little free time, but Rabe said he didn't regret being heavily involved. Rabe said the experience he has had in college so far would benefit him when he graduates in December and starts full-time work.

A day at the beach
Dancers perform next to a swimming pool during the opening day of Mexico City's first of four city beaches on Tuesday. Mexico City's mayor plans to build four beaches in this smoggy mountain capital. The project has been laminated as a joke and a waste of money by Mexico's rich, who spend their vacations at real beachside resorts. But the leftist mayor's supporters welcome the sand as a city getaway for millions of poor residents of the Mexico City area who have never seen a beach in their lives.

Kansan advertising wins award for best staff
The Kansan advertising staff made sure the University had at least one championship to its name this spring by winning the award for Best Advertising Student Staff of the Year along with 10 other awards at the College Newspaper Business and Advertising Managers conference in Portland, Ore., last week. The award for best staff was selected based on the total number of points accumulated in the competition.
Lindsey Shirack, Kansan business manager, said the staff won four awards last year out of a possible 22. Schools are divided into two categories based on readership, with first through third awarded in each. An overall best in category winner is also chosen from those winners.
"it's been a goal of a lot of people that have worked here to win this"Shirac said.
Shiracad said the staff last won the award in 2001, which was its third in four years."When I first came here it was kind of expected that we would win it and then we didn't for a few years;" she said. "To finally do that again is a huge accomplishment."
