FIVE QUESTIONS // MILTON WENDLAND & BRANDON WOODARD
MILTON WENDLAND
I think of sexuality as that combination of sensory and mental perception and interpretation of the world around us. I think of it as more than just sexual orientation. And I think sexuality goes beyond just sex or orgasm.
A solid relationship requires communication. If everyone is communicating honestly and openly, then the relationship can take almost any form that people want it to take.
I think all humans have the potential to enjoy sex. Culturally, we tend to teach women to suppress or control their sexual appetites, while men are more often allowed to express those feelings.
Sexuality is a part of human existence, and a one-night stand can be an expression of that. One-night stands are problematic when they are non-consensual, and when alcohol or drugs are involved. Sometimes people mistake love and sex and this can be a problem.
Sex is the more biological part — genitals, hormones and chromosomes Gender is how those differences are regulated and expressed — the way we take up space, how some careers, and movies or objects are 'for' women or 'for' men. Gender is not a bad thing, but it can limit us.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SEXUALITY?
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON OPEN RELATIONSHIPS?
WHO DO YOU THINK WANTS SEX
MORE: MEN OR WOMEN?
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON ONE-NIGHT STANDS?
HOW DO YOU DEFINE GENDER?
I define sexuality as one's desires and behaviors. Different people have different traits that they are attracted to, whether that be heterosexual, homosexual or anything in between.
In any relationship there is always some sort of connection. While some couples act like they're fine with it, I feel that deep down there is always a sense of jealousy that can ultimately ruin what would've been a decent relationship.
Men want sex more than women. That is a fact. Men think about it more, they generally seem to do it more (no pun intended), but it's no secret that guys want sex.
One-night stands happen all of the time. It's inevitable in college. But they can sometimes get complicated depending on whether or not you have to see that person in the real world outside of your bedroom. I think they are fine, as long as people aren't doing it every day.
I think that sex is what is legally assigned to someone at birth, and gender is what one identifies as, as an adult. While most commonly those two remain the same, there are sometimes cases of people who later identify as a different gender. It's what one mentally feels like they are.

CATCH OF THE WEEK // SPENSER FITZPATRICK
INTERESTS: I love films — making them and watching them. I've taken up yoga to relieve stress recently, and I write whenever I have time. I love to be outside and in warm weather. Give me a beautiful park or forest and I'm pretty content. And zombies. I have an odd fascination with zombies.
NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL
WINNER: A good sense of self. Clearly nobody knows exactly who they are, but I need somebody who's pretty comfortable with who they are now.
TURN-ONS: A really good sense of humor is a great start. Intelligence is always a big plus, not school-wise, but in the worldly sense. Good noses. It has to fit the face perfectly — a bad nose just throws off the whole thing. Finally, knowing when to have a good time, but also being able to get serious when needed. I like to have someone who can have pointless fun with me but is also there for support and to be supported.
TURN-OFFS: I can't stand people who choose not to have an opinion. I feel like we have so much potential to make an impact and choosing to be indifferent is a big downer.
WHY I'M A CATCH: I'm fun, spontaneous, humble enough not to know what to say on here, unique and engaging. And very easy to talk to. I love listening to what anyone else has to offer.

The Kansas Board of Regents met Thursday in Topeka with higher education officials from state universities.
The following is a list of some of the issues and proposals that Regents reviewed and their effects on students and the University.
Much of the meeting was devoted to discussing issues pertaining to the University of Kansas and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed Regents on four separate occasions.
The University's request for
Approved:

Regents reviewed the Department of Student Housing's proposal for a 1.6 percent increase in housing fees.The increase in fees is not uncommon and occurs annually to offset the increases in the cost of living.

two-person room raising the rate from $3,642 to $3,700.
This year's increase proposals are lower than they were last year because of the deactivation of student phone lines in student rooms from the summer. That saved the University about $500,000.
A 1.6 percent increase translates to about $58 more for a traditional
Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said she based her proposals off estimated increases for the following year.

Gray-Little and Provost Jeffrey Vitter updated Regents on the external audit recently ordered for the School of Business. The accounting firm BKD LLC performed the audit and stated in its report that of the $30 million raised since 2004 from course fees, 99.8 percent of the funds were spent appropriately.
Updated:
Although Regents acknowl
edged that many of the finance issues occurred before Gray-Little and Vitter, Regent Chairman Gary Sherrer and Regent Tim Emert were dissatisfied with, of all schools, a business school's mishandling of student funds.
"If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system," Sherrer said.
Vitter and Gray-Little said they now know funds weren't accounted for and that the student advisory board should not have been dissolved back in 2006. Both Gray-Little and Vitter said they are looking to move forward.
The search is currently underway for a new dean for the school and the fourth candidate to visit campus was here this week.
Sherrer said that kind of miscommunication sends a bad message to students.
Gray-Little said she has been working with Jeff Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, and student leaders to further develop strategies to reduce waste on campus and within the community.
New scholarship program approved
In January, the University will join Kansas State University in a sustainability competition that will last until June.
Along with other state universities, Gray-Little presented to Regents the University's annual sustainability report.
