WESCOE wit
Guy 1: Man, I can't tell you how many times I've been late for a class because I followed a girl in a skirt up the wrong staircase.
Guy 2: I know, man. Seriously.
Guy 1: I was even late for a test once, but she was so worth it.
Girl 1: You have a problem. You don't know your own limits when it comes to drinking.
Girl 2: I know my limits. I just choose to ignore them.
Guy 1: I hate missing that class like a mofo.
Guy 2: Yeah, me too.
Guy 1: I mean, the professor is so interesting. He doesn't fucking stand up there spouting off bullshit to the class. He talks about really important literary shit.
Guy 2: Yeah, he really makes you fucking care.
Guy 1: You wanna know the best thing about being single?
Single
Guy 2: Hooking up with whoever you want?
Guy 1: No. Being able to fart whenever I want.
Girl (on phone): Yeah, I was really disappointed. He really wasn't as cute in person as he was on MySpace.

WHAT it's LIKE TO BE A KATRINA VOLUNTEER
Spring break is a time to go on vacation, get that much needed tan and relax under the sun. But for Laura Holzman and Sara Koven, 2006 graduates, spring break involved much more than that — it changed their lives.
In 2006, Holzman and Koven spent spring break in Gulfport, Miss. They went with a group of nine KU students with the Jewish campus organization Hillel to help Hurricane Katrina victims rebuild their roofs. Though the trip was seven months after the disaster, the town was still completely leveled.
"It's really different seeing a tragedy like that firsthand," Holzman says, "I don't think anything prepares you for what you see there."
For Koven, the worst part was realizing the number of deaths in Gulfport.
"When we went to various houses to check if they were damaged, there was a number on each home that represented the number of casualties from that home," Koven says. "It was crazy to see how many people had lost their lives."
Holzman and Koven rebuilt roofs, demolished homes that could not be saved and built shacks from the ground up during their five-day trip.
"The whole experience is completely humbling."Koven says."We really realized how important time is and how important things we take for granted are."

The Zodiac
MOVIE
Balancing the fine line between historical accuracy and creative interpretation is what makes a film based on a true story tough to pull off. Stick too hard to the facts and it's dull and unimaginative; give artistic license free reign and it's unrealistic.
Better call director David Fincher (Fight Club, Alien 3) the tightept walker, because Zodiac performs the stunt impceccably. Fincher is able to retain a factual loyalty to the specifics of the unsolved serial killer case, while infusing the movie with an aesthetic style that pays homage to its genre's noir roots. The result is an
enthralling who-done-it that holds its audience the entire 158 minutes.
Unfolding primarily in a 1970s San Francisco that is as visually convincing as Paul Thomas Anderson's portrayal of the 1980s San Fernando Valley in Boogie Nights, Zodiac follows the city's police department and San Francisco Chronicle reporters on their investigation of the anonymous Zodiac killer, whose systematic murders and threatening demands for media attention have put northern California into a state of shock. But when the Zodiac goes on hiatus and the most promising leads fizzle out, the media and police turn their heads to the next buzz-worthy happening, leaving the dedicated Chronicle cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) alone in his emotional involvement in the dangerous pursuit.
Unlike the fragmented, ego-driven search for the killer, Zodiac thrives, thanks to a concerted acting effort. It's still early, but don't be surprised if Robert Downey Jr. picks up a best supporting actor nomination for his self-reseARCHED role as a renowned columnist who suffers a drug-induced downfall.
A classic rock soundtrack featuring Santana, Sly and the Family Stone and Three Dog Night serves as an added bonus to what is, alongside Children of Men, one of the most cinematically complete films so far this calendar year.
