MANUAL
DOING WITHOUT // MAKEUP
Hand
> Absence makes the heart grow ... ?
We wear it nearly everyday. Sometimes we think we can't leave the house without it. Ladies, I'm talking about mascara, foundation, bronzer and all of that other fun stuff we call makeup.
I usually keep my makeup simple; a little concealer under my eyes, some blush, lip balm and I'm good to go. But I wanted to see what it'd be like without makeup for five days.
Monday: I woke up to get ready for class at my normal time, but after finishing my new "no makeup" routine, I realized I had about 10 extra minutes on my hands.
Tuesday: After staying up too late the night before, I looked like a zombie. However, I wasn't

hungry for human flesh, just some blush to help perk up my pale face.
Wednesday: Someone says, "You look tired." Isn't that code for, "You look terrible; please go away before people think we're friends?"
Thursday: I've embraced my makeup free face. I figured I can't look that bad considering no one runs in the opposite direction when they see me.
Friday: My last makeup free day and I wondered why I even bother to wear it at all. Besides a few comments, I don't think people really noticed or cared that I wasn't wearing eyeliner to my art history class.
Joey Sprague, a KU sociology professor, says makeup can sometimes be "a trap."
"We have to ask ourselves what we enjoy about it," Sprague says. "Makeup works, but it also doesn't work."
Ladies, try going a few days without makeup and embrace your natural beauty. Plus you'll get to sleep in a few extra minutes each morning.

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // OPENING A > In case of emergency, read quickly. WINE BOTTLE
A bottle of wine can make an ordinary dinner more romantic, or give a Saturday night more sophistication. But what happens when you've got the wine but no corkscrew?
Curtis O'Hearn has been in this situation twice. The Wichita senior tried to open the wine bottle by breaking it's neck over a concrete stair. "The first time I did it this way it worked perfectly," O'Hearn says. "But the other time failed miserably and the bottle shattered halfway down."

Wine Muggyer: Impress your friends with your wine opening skills the next time you find yourself without a corkscrew and a full bottle.
Here are some tips from Alvcia Futrelle.

an employee at On the Rocks liquor store, 1818 Massachusetts St.:
Coat Hanger Technique:
"Everyone has a wire coat hanger in their closet," Futrelle says. "It's perfect for making your own cheap cork screw."
Straighten out a wire coat hanger. Then, with the help of pliers, twist it around a screwdriver shaft until it forms a coil shape. Using your new "corkscrew," screw it into the cork as you normally would. Pull out the cork slowly.
Screw and Hammer Technique:
Using a long screw with deep grooves, twist it into the cork until it's embedded about half an inch. Take a hammer, and with the nail-pull end, pry the cork out of the bottle.
"Another technique that I've heard of using is to use an actual screw to remove the cork," Futrelle says. "You have to be careful though, because the screw could become stuck."
With these tips, hopefully you'll avoid broken glass, spilled wine or worst of all, an un-smooth moment in front of your friends.

In between bagpipes and drums, the St. Patrick's Day Parade also had some pop this year.
Raising awareness, student volunteers for The Jayhawk Buddy System performed a flash mob dance routine to Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" at several locations along the parade route Thursday afternoon.
about 15 dancers, all wearing green layhawk Buddy System T-shirts, came out of the audience and took to the street for the routine.
Shannon Foster, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she volunteered to dance after the president of her sorority urged members to do so.
"They're just trying to get their message out," Foster said as she jogged to the next performance.
