I slammed my door shut.
I planned my ownool. The window that I had so carefully lifted back up into its rightful position fell back down. I broke it. I broke my window and had to drive another hour and a half home in lovely 105 degree Kansas heat to my father's rage. I knew of only one thing that would, at least for the moment, remedy the situation: Duct tape, the true fix-all — an arguably magical material that had served me well in the past.
and I gladly accepted it.Maybe my dad wouldn't even notice the leafy pattern that would soon be covering my back passenger side window.

I stopped at the first store I saw and hoped they would be able to help me out. When I asked if they had any tape, I was directed to a remote corner of the store. The clerk dangled a roll of camouflage duct tape in front of me — because, naturally, that's the only color the sporting goods store carried
The challenging part was actually fixing the window. It took me a few tries, but being the seasoned mechanic that I am, I managed
My dad wasn't thrilled with my solution, but the residue eventually came off and the camo really did look quite nice against the forest green finish on my car.
to get the window back into place, rip off a few pieces of tape and trick it into staying up. The best part: I had A/C the entire way home.
And let's be honest, just about everyone has used duct tape for one reason or another. Remember those dirty, sticky, duct tape wallets guys carried in high school? Or what about the stories of kids making prom dresses from the "alternative" fabric? I know I made an incredibly innovative, albeit immobile, vest from a combination of yellow and purple tape for spirit week in high school. I even made a matching headband with a bow. So, carrying around a roll of duct tape for accessorizing or repairing just about anything may not be such a bad idea.
Moral of the story: it's not a myth that duct tape is the ultimate solution. And it amazingly comes in about every color imaginable, making it possible for me to not only fix my car, but also binders, shoes, books, computers and all other items that make life possible. For more on the magic of duct tape, check out Brenna's article on page 11.

Audit finds School of Business to be mostly consistent in course fee usage
The report addresses concerns from several MBA students who lodged complaints with the Kansas Board of Regents this summer. The findings are from an audit by BKD LLC, the same accounting firm that investigated the Athletics Department ticket scandal.
Of the $30 million the School of Business has raised since 2004 from course fees, a third-party accounting firm reported that the school spent 99.8 percent appropriately.
The report "confirms that we have used those funds for the benefit of our students and the advancement of the programs in our school," said William Fuerst, dean of the School of Business.
BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com
Some of the MBA students also called for Fuerst to be fired. He announced Sept. 22 that he would step down after the academic year, but a school spokesperson told The University Daily Kansan that his
resignation wasn't related to those demands.
BKD LLC's audit found that 0.2 percent, or about $60,000, of the $30 million in spending was inconsistent with the original fee proposal. BKD reported that almost $28,000 in payroll to some professors over the summer of 2005 was inconsistent with the fee proposal. The audit also found that the school used more than $24,000 of course fees inappropriately to pay for fees related to accreditation and membership in the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The school instituted the course fees in 2004, and the tuition proposal for it specified where the money could be used.
The proposal established a student advisory committee, responsible for overseeing how the course fees were spent. But the committee was disbanded by 2006, perhaps the students' biggest complaint.
banding the committee "an oversight," and said that keeping the committee might have prevented conflict.
"Could we have avoided the controversy by having a mechanism in place?" Vitter said. "I think the answer is yes."
The committee was re-established Oct.21 and agreed to meet again to discuss the findings of this review.
Course fees, also called differential tuition rates, represent about 40 percent of the school's budget. On top of normal tuition, business students paid an extra $102 per credit hour in course fees this semester, and master's business students paid an extra $187 per hour.
Provost Jeffrey Vitter called dis-
BKD's report, released Thursday, includes an appendix accounting for just under $30 million, listed by year and broken down into 17 categories of spending.
The provost's office contracted BKD to perform the audit, which cost an estimated $50,000 and was overseen by a committee of students, faculty and staff. The provost's office paid for the audit with private donations.
Although BKD found that the school spent nearly all of the fee money appropriately, the report also said the fee proposal was vague in places and that "there could be differences of opinion" about whether an expenditure conflicted with the fee proposal.
Vitter said the committee will receive reports on expenditures and planned expenditures in the future.

In a response letter at the end of the report, Fuerst said the school will review what BKD identified as inappropriate spending with the student advisory committee.

"If this doesn't answer the issues of critics, then that's their issue," Vitter said. "I don't think anything
Kansas receives higher grade in sustainability,but isn't perfect
Columnist Kate Larrabee explains how the University scored a higher grade this year, but still needs more student involvement and leadership in sustainability. Kansas received a 'B',just behind Texas and Colorado.
