Above all else, this was about more than a win and a death; it was about the highs and lows of life, and just how vulnerable it all is. if it is. Take for example the seemingly unexpected nature of Irons' death. At the time, he was headed home to Hawaii to seek medical treatment for dengue fever, a tropical disease spread my mosquitoes. But, he never made it that far. never made it that way. On Tuesday, Irons was discovered dead in a hotel room that he rented for a layover in Dallas. It was initially believed that he died from the fever, however the investigation turned toward a possible accidental drug overdose, because several prescription drugs were found next to his bed. To add to the tragedy of Irons' death, he leaves behind his wife Lyndie Dupuis, who is due to give birth to the couple's first child in one month. He also leaves behind opportunities for a promising return BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com to surfing and the respect of both friends and competitors. both friends into the surfing community was widespread, as even the world championship was put on hold so that competitors could commemorate Irons with a traditional "paddle out." Still, within five days of Irons' early death, Slater was overcame the sadness of the loss of a friend to rack up an unprecedented win. This win only intensified the contrast between Irons' low and Slater's high.

Suicide. It's a band name not so obvious until you reach track 6 of 1977 "Frankie Teardrop." Littered with Martin Rev's nearly atonal synthesizer riffs and Alan Vega's shrieks from hell, the 10-minute song is nothing short of a nightmare. It tells the story of Frankie, a factory worker who can't stand the world anymore. I wouldn't dare spoil the plot for you — it's too important to experience yourself. yourself. But just as Frankie's tale is essential to your ears, so too is Suicide on any synth band that followed. 50's rockabilly. Glimmering pop. Punk rock and poetry. Suicide's music will frighten you silly. Then you'll want to be frightened again. — Edited by Emily McCoy THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TUESDAY Men's basketball Emporia State 7 p.m. Lawrence WEDNESDAY FRIDAY Volleyball Texas A&M 6:30 p.m. College Station, Texas SATURDAY Men's basketball Longwood 7:00 p.m. Lawrence Swimming Drury/North Dakota 1 p.m. Lawrence Football Nebraska 6 p.m. Lincoln, Neb.
