WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO RAMP A BIKE INTO POTTFR I AKF
> We know you're curious ...
Flying bikes into Potter Lake is a longstanding tradition to end the school year with a bang. We're on a garage sale bicycle. Never high quality. Never a bike that you actually feel safe riding. My friend Kevin suggested riding on the pegs as a joke, since there had never been two riders before. But neither of us backed out of the joke.
We started out pretty high on the hill, needing enough speed to launch both of us. We're pumping each other up. We're nervous. Then we start rolling. Steering is ten times harder with two people — a fight to keep straight and balanced. Flying down the hill, I zoned in on the ramp. Oh yeah, and the ramp was also on fire, but I was too focused to feel the heat. If you don't hit the ramp, you're done; you roll straight into the reeds. Kevin's grip on my shoulders got increasingly tighter as we neared the lake. Our plan was that once we were mid-air, Kevin would fly right, the bike would fly left and I would fly straight. Follow the plan, I thought, follow the plan.
But then Kevin fell off. He lost the pegs and half flew off the ramp. We weren't in the air
BY LUKE MUELLER / AS TOLD TO JOSH HAFNER more than a few seconds, but it felt like eternity. Hitting the water was a puzzle of people and bicycle all mixed together. We came out to a glorious victory. Everyone cheered us on as we showed off new scrapes and battle wounds.
No cops ever showed up, but a couple of faculty members stood by and watched.
Flaming firey: Taking a dive into Potter Lake wasn't done in the traditional sense for Luke Muteller, who ramped his bike into the water. Luckily, injuries were minor and no arrests were made.

Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
commit to take control of their breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
These lungs will not be visibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tells them that it's normal, then they've learned something."
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.
