EDITOR'S NOTE
I remember the first backpack I ever had: It was pink and light blue with a collection of my favorite Disney princesses on the front. I was sitting in front of my kindergarten classroom with my huge orange glasses, straight-across bangs and pink sweat pants when my best friend Warren arrived with Spiderman backpack in tow. Cinderella and Peter Parker were never so cool.
Then, in sixth grade, my mom let me pick out my next backpack — and believe you me, it was a big decision. It had to be something sturdy that would last through abuse of after-school activities and dance practices. So, naturally, we pulled out the Land's End catalogue. I decided to go with my favorite color: bright orange. It was perfect: a front pocket for pencils and erasers, a side pocket for a water bottle and dozens of inside compartments for all the odds and ends my heart desired.
However, there was one last decision to make. The monogram on the front pocket would, of course, say "Anna," but what color would it be? My final decision: sea
foam green. Now my mom and I just had to go shopping for all the goodies that would fill its pockets.
There's nothing as special as getting ready for your first day of school, going shopping with your mom and picking out pencils and paper and folders with cute little kitties. It's a tradition that has lasted about 16 years for my mom and I, but I've since realized that it's not supposed to be so hardcore as that monogrammed backpack in sixth grade. Once you've reached college, that's right along the lines of a pocket protector, isn't it? But, somehow, I've managed to make it last to my senior year of college. That's right, I still have a monogrammed backpack, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's not the bright orange bag that I proudly carried from sixth grade to the end of high school, but I love it nonetheless.
This one's sprightly green with black accents and is equipped with a laptop pocket, two side pockets and an mp3 player pocket and hole for headphones. It even has padded straps so my back doesn't get sore. For more on backpacks, see Brenna's story on page 9.
It would probably be way cooler if my backpack had a nickname like "Archi" instead, but, as it doesn't, I just have to keep reminding myself that all the other people on campus only wish they had a backpack as tricked out as mine.

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
continue 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.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
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.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
These jumps 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 tell 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.

A sign marking the annual fundraising event "Greek in Pink" hangs on a tree outside Wescoe Hall. The event is organized by all 45 chapters in all four greek councils. They participate by donating a ribbon. This ribbon represents Sigma Kappa sorority. Proceeds from the event benefit Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Switching near-campus lots from yellow to blue leaves students with fewer options. But it also closes parking lots to certain faculty and staff.
