are a few of the groups Mall is involved with.
Instead of asking Lance Mall what he's involved in, people would have better luck asking what he doesn't do. The Student Involvement and Leadership Center, Interfraternity Council and Student Ambassadors
The Clay Center junior was the only student from his high school who came to the University of Kansas. Mall said he knew that he would have to get involved if he wanted to have a good time at the University.
The self-proclaimed "quiet guy" in high school became the freshman-sophomore senator for Student Senate and joined the Delta Chi fraternity his freshman year to overcome being shy. He volunteered for Student Ambassadors as well.
"I want to get out there and let people know why KU is the best and why people should come here," he said.
Mall is most involved in the Student Involvement and Leadership
Center where he is the leadership development coordinator. He helps organize events such as Leadershape and Blueprints, which both work to develop leadership skills.
The Freshman Leadership Council is Mall's favorite program. He said the council wasn't active for the past few years, so he's working to revive the program. Freshmen apply in the fall, and 20 are selected to be on the council in the spring. The program offers students the chance to meet people on campus whom they wouldn't normally see.
Mall has achieved his goal of being involved. He said he really felt as though he's "in the loop" at the University, and he has 669 Facebook friends to prove it.

Rescuers free German man glued to re-tarred house
BERLIN — A 91-year-old German man was rescued Tuesday from a sticky situation.
The retiree from the eastern city of Magdeburg had been taking advantage of good spring weather to
re-tar the roof of his garden house when he slipped and became glued to the structure himself.
Rescuers were able to free the man, whose name was not released, by prying him loose from the gooey mess.
Authorities said the man wasn't hurt, but his clothes were a write-off.

Bands celebrate honor of
Hall of Fame differently
NEW YORK — Two of the biggest rock bands of the 1980s took different paths to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Sunday — in die favorites R.E.M. with a happy reunion and party band Van Halen
with a fragmentary turnout.
"R.E.M.'s music is truly all-encompassing," said Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, who inducted them. "They used every color on the palette."
The rock hall's 22nd annual induction ceremony was the first beamed live online.
