If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, my apologies to my future husband. Sorry guys, the secret's out — I can't cook. The contents of my refrigerator feature more condiments and beverages than actual food. I guess I shouldn't be surprised I didn't inherit a love for recipe-concocting. Growing up my family was constantly busy — fast food wrappers replaced home-cooked dinners.
My roommates can tell you I cook no more than three things: Pasta, grilled cheese and... pasta. I can make sandwiches, but let's be honest, anyone who's packed a lunch in fifth grade can claim that skill.
Moving off-campus last year invigorated my sense of adulthood and food production. However, I still seem to lack the time or patience to master a great meal — but I can peel off the plastic and pop a Lean Cuisine in the microwave.
I only began to miss making my select food staples this summer, when living in a residence hall brought me back down to disgusting dorm food (this place had
nothing on Mrs. E's). The dining philosophy seemed to be the more ingredients the better. For example, corn couldn't just be corn it was "Mexican" corn mixed with mysterious spices, additional vegetables and a few chunks of meat.
With only the greasy grill selections and a pathetic salad bar to muse over for other options I began to cave, forgoring my prepaid meal allotments and purchasing chips and guac from Chipotle or a Subway sandwich on the way home from work. I felt bad about the additional money I was spending and the effort it took to walk five blocks, foraging for food along the way — but the stomach wants what it wants.
Now that I've regained access to standard kitchen appliances, I try to use them more, though I still get bored and impatient when waiting for water to boil. The microwave is my savior (hello, latenight shifts in the newsroom), warming up an instant meal accompanied by classy plastic cutlery.
If you're like me and can't find the time or skill to prepare a well-crafted dish, check out Brenna's story on page 11 and learn to microwave convenient and healthy meals.
And as for those boys I will not be slaving over a hot stove for, I can serve up one thing: great dinner conversation — just as long as we're seated in a restaurant and not at the dining room table.

Laptops and bad posture can lead to 'laptop-itis'
Evan Palmer/KANSAN
Tara Arikae, a sophomore from Cape Girardeau, Mo., uses her laptop in front of the Kansas Union on Tuesday afternoon. Many students like Arikae use their laptops on a frequent basis and consequently may develop negative health effects later in life.

Sandra Bowman, physical therapy supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said adjusting your posture isn't hard. You basically do the opposite of what you've been doing, she said.
HOW TO AVOID LAPTOP-ITIS
Be aware of your posture. Your head should be positioned so your ears line up with your shoulders.
— If you are using your laptop while lying in bed, make sure your head and back are supported.
If possible, sit at a table or desk.
Take frequent breaks. Consider setting a timer.

A new medical condition is lurking on campus, in coffee shops and even in your own bedroom. Chances are, you're not immune either.
"Laptop-itis" is a term coined by Kevin Carneiro, assistant professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine.
Laptop-itis stems from poor posture and includes neck pain, headaches, back pain and tingling fingers.
The University does not track personal devices, so it isn't possible to know how many students own laptops.
Sandra Bowman, physical therapy supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said students are already at risk for poor posture because of sustained sitting from class and studying. She also said
However, according to EDUCAUSE, a group that researches information technology at universities, about 75 percent of college students owned laptops in 2007.

LITERATURE

Anthologist speaks of inspiration for change
"The Heath Anthology of American Literature" has certainly changed how American literature is taught at the University of Kansas and may have affected the course of American literature on a much larger scale.
Paul Lauten, the general editor of the anthology, spoke about the changing academics in American literature Wednesday
night at the Kansas Union and yesterday m or n i n g at the Hall Center for Humanities.
Lauter said his experiences with social movements in
other anthologies to follow suit.
"We widened the definition of what is called literature to include texts like blues lyrics, letters, nonfictional prose generally seen as marginal to literary study," Lauter said during his lecture yesterday.
More than 20 years after its initial publication, the anthology is used for American Literature I and II, and it has changed the way both students and professors approach the class.
"It's forced me to reevaluate
"It's forced me to reevaluate what we call good writing."
SUSAN HARRIS Hall distinguished professor of American literature
the 60s led him to envision a new kind of anthology — one that included the voices of minorities and women. In becoming a success, the anthology forced
what we call good writing", said Susan Harris, the Hall distinguished professor of American literature and culture.

a senior
from Shawnee in an American literature class, attended Lauter's
