THAT'S DISGUSTING // MAKE-UP BRUSHES
> Dude...gross.
Leslie Kramer had no idea her make-up brushes were harboring tons of bacteria and oil until she visited her dermatologist. "He said that if I have a breakout on my skin and I use my brushes without cleaning them regularly I could be spreading that bacteria to my skin every day," says Kramer, Joplin, Mo., sophomore.
day, says Ruthie. As a make-up artist, Tamara Neudorf knows the importance of clean make-up brushes. "Many people don't know that the bacteria and oil in their make-up brushes can grow and multiply," says Neudorf, owner of Bronze and Beauty in Prairie Village, Kan. Neudorf says if you store your brushes in drawers or on counters they can come in contact with bacteria on those surfaces.
To fight off bacteria, Tanya Munoz, makeup artist and Mary Kay consultant, suggests spritzing your brushes each day with an alcohol-based cleanser. "You need to deep clean your brushes at least once a month to kill off any bacteria that has built up." Munoz says. "You want to make sure the first or second ingredient in your cleanser is alcohol so that it works properly."
After cleaning your brushes, Munoz says to squeeze out any excess liquid and lay your brushes on a clean washcloth to dry. Then you cover your brushes with another washcloth to protect them from any dust or bacteria they could come in contact with overnight.

After Sara Hawes saw an ant crawl into her backpack, she quickly began to rifle through its contents in search of the tiny insect.
THAT'S DISGUSTING // BUGS IN FOOD
> Dude...gross.
It seems likely that Hawes would express similar disgust upon hearing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allows an average of 30 fly eggs or two or more maggots per 100 grams of ketchup. "Bugs in general just gross me out," says Hawes, Paola, freshman. But, "If I can't see its tiny little legs in it, it's not a problem," she says.
The FDA regulates the number of "unavoidable defects," like insects, in manufactured foods. Peanut butter, for instance, can have up to 30 insect fragments per 100 grams. Once the contents breach the standard level, they are considered "adulterated" and are subject to government action.
"The question is not do we ban insects in food, but what level is safe," says Ira Allen, a press officer for the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "Things made with wheat, for instance, are bound to have a
certain level of insects in them because wheat grows in fields and insects live in fields," he says.

Allen says it took years of consultation with industry leaders and scientific academics to develop standards at which insects can be consumed or exterminated safely. Philip Nixon, an entomologist at the University of Illinois, says there may be an "ew" factor in our society regarding bugs, but they are perfectly safe to consume.

Senior guard Tyrel Reed is one of the quickest players on a fast Kansas roster; Reed said the athleticism on this year's team reminded him of the 2007-2008 national title-winning team
Marcus Morris said the difference may be most noticeable on defense.
"I think without Cole and having Keef at the five and having T-Rob coming in, we're going to be a lot quicker in coming off ball screens and being able to trap and sometimes switch with the five," he said. "Keef can guard and T-Rob can guard, so I think we'll be a lot quicker on the perimeter."

Robinson said he doesn't think the game plan will change — Self always wanted to play up tempo last year, he said — but the team this year is more geared to play to those strengths.
"Coach Self wanted us to play
fast from the beginning, so for us to have a more athletic team from top to bottom just put us right where we want to be." Robinson said.
Reed said the ability to go from one through five without a sig.
nificant drop-off reminded him of another team he played for at Kansas. One that won a national championship.
"It say, being here in '07-08,
yeah, it definitely does look a lot
more like it." Reed said. "Just from
the standpoint that we have a lot of guys that can go and go get scores and do their own thing. We're all unselfish, and I think that's kind of the way they were."

With two wins, Jayhawks start season strong
Mariah Montgomery, a sophomore infielder from Ralston, Neb. slides home safe Wednesday night at Arrocha Ballpark. The Jay Hawks beat Johnson County Community College 16-1 in an exhibition match. The Jay Hawks racked up 15 hits against the Cavaliers.
Coming off a 10-0 win against Baker in the practice season opener, the Jayhawks looked to continue their winning streak, taking the field against Johnson County Community College Wednesday night. The Jayhawks won 16-1.

Kansas struck first, going up 2-0 after a homerun by senior outfielder Liz Kocon to right field in the bottom of the first inning, with a runner on second. In the next inning, the jayhawks chased Johnson County's starting pitcher Lynna Kays after adding eight more runs onto their lead on six hits.

The Jayhawks lost the shutout in the third inning after an error by KU led to a run scored by the Cavaliers. That would be the only run scored against Kansas for the rest of the game.

hits with two errors. The Cavaliers
totaled one run, three hits and six
errors.
In only their second practice game of the season, the layhawks already looked to be in mid-season form, both on offense and defense.
One of the main elements con
tributing to KU's win was smart, effective base running, according to coach Megan Smith.
"We really try to make it a focus for us at practice, to really work on that base running so we can utilize that during our games this season," Smith said.
The Jayhawks were very attentive on the pads, stealing bases at appropriate times and getting good leads which turned into runs scored.
Complimenting the base running was the hitting clinic put on by the Jayhawk batters.
Sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull helped ignite the team's offense, accounting for three RBIs including a run scored.
"It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great."
The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done.

"I know that my defense is gonna back me up if the ball is put in play, but I was feeling it tonight, and I just felt really good and the defense did step up when they needed to" Jones said.

Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky." Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
Especially if the success on the field follows.
