A fluttering black sleeve drifts across her shoulder, leaving the right one bare and sun-kissed from faded summer days. Golden blonde curls rest gently on her back, strategically shaken out of her ocean blue eyes. A hint of freckles rest on her blushed cheeks, complemented by a bright white smile.
She is my Facebook profile picture, and has been since September 1, 2010. I'm not one to replace my photo as often as I change my photos, therefore I've only had 56 portraits of myself through almost five years of logging onto Mark Zuckerberg's social site. And on the occasion I have changed things up, there isn't much variation from one click to the next. I always look happy and pretty — at least I hope I do.
But I don't often look like that girl — save for approximately 15 hours of the weekend when I go out. Here's the truth: my hair isn't naturally curly, or straight, as it is in some pictures. It's California surfergirl kind of wavy, and almost always thrown back in a messy ponytail. And that painted face? If
you run into me on campus you'll find barely more than a swipe of foundation on my pale cheeks. As for feminine dresses and tight skirts, most of the time I feel too athletic to pull them off. My weekday wardrobe is composed of nylon Nike shorts, faded t-shirts and neon running shoes.
Yet I choose to represent myself to the online realm as the made-up version of myself. Why? It's because I think I look more attractive as that weekend girl, when I actually feel more attractive as my routine weekday girl. I give in to what I think others want to see.
Facebook gives us the opportunity to create an identity, however close or far away from our actual personality. We decide what to highlight and what to hide away. We can put it all on the line by listing our interests, inspirational quotes and contact information, or we can choose to be mysterious and not reveal certain pieces of our lives. For more on our personal identities and evolution with social media, check out Josh's story on page 12.
Every day I open up my Facebook profile page and see her, wide-eyed and enthusiastic in the top left corner of my browser. I may not look as polished or feel as happy as her all the time, but she reminds me that I sure as hell can be.

KU EcoHawks convert donated car to electric
Kansas Libraries will use the car to deliver on-campus mail

right now — no tires, a battered back fender and a missing front end. The EcoHawks removed the Jimmy's engine last week.
The 1997 GMC Jimmy, a small sport utility vehicle, sits dropped up on car jacks in the KU EcoHawks' garage on West Campus. It's a definite change of scene from the police impound at where the Jimmy sat for two years before being donated to the EcoHawks.
EcoHawks' GMC Jimmy project. The group is working to convert the car into a fully-electric vehicle. Petty said the group hopes to save the project completed by the end of spring.

But for now, the conversion is a work in progress.
Student Senate passed a bill which gave the EcoHawks $2,500 to use for the conversion project.
Instead of a gas engine, the Jimmy will be powered by a main electric motor and two auxiliary motors, Petty said. The motors

"I love the fact that we aren't just doing theory," he said. "We're not just sitting in a lab. We're not just on the Internet or reading books."
Jon Kalinowski, a senior from Wichita, is focused on power steering. He said he enjoys the freedom and hands-on learning that the project provides.
The students have to research.
Just as each system in the car's engine has to work in unison. Petty said the group members have to work together as well. The 12 students working on the project have a different area of focus.
After the car is finished, KU Libraries will use the car to deliver on-campus mail. The campus mail route includes main and West Campus buildings in addition to continuing education buildings on Kasold Drive. On a typical day, the KU Libraries mail vehicle travels about 22 miles.
theorize and then put their work into practice.
Petty said the electric vehicle would be able to travel 80 to 90 miles before a recharge.
There shouldn't be any worry that the Jimmy won't be noticed. Petty said the EcoHawks hope to paint the frame lime green and the body white.
"It's that hands-on learning that makes them the best engineers," said Chris Depcik, EcoHawks advisor and assistant professor of mechanical engineering.

LARRI-BMX seeks the city's approval of a plan to construct a course to fulfill Lawrence's BMX interest.
Lars Leon, associate librarian for KU Libraries, said the libraries encourage sustainability. The electric vehicle is another step in that direction.

Columnist Luke Brinker explains that the apparent jump in 18-to 24-year-old voters in 2008 actually wasn't all that dramatic. By comparison, Baby Boomers were driven to the polls by factors such as the draft.
