WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO BREAK YOUR ARM
( ) ( ) ( )
> We know you're curious.
When I think about telling this story it literally makes me want to throw up. It's hard to relive. Two years ago when I was living in Battenfeld Scholarship Hall we were having the annual Manliest Manly Man competition. I had refused to participate because I thought it was stupid, but people thought I could beat the guy who had won the arm wrestling competition two years running.
It was the championship round and we were doing best two out of three. I had lost the first round, and in the second he had my arm nearly pinned. I just kept telling myself, "Don't lose, don't lose." The next thing
Tough break! An X-Ray of Collin's arm after doctors placed staples in it to heal the break.
I know, I hear a big snap like a branch breaking over somebody's knee. At the same time, I see my arm flying back and forth and I realized that I wasn't telling it to do that. That's when I knew it was broken.
I didn't feel a thing because there was so much shock and adrenalin. Everyone but me was freaking out. Their eyes got really wide and about 30 guys looked like they were about to puke. I starting cracking jokes to get them to relax. I even joked with the KU police officer that showed up and asked if he could pistol-whip me to knock me out. He said that was against protocol.
When I got to the hospital I could feel the bones grinding together inside my arm. Of course they gave me lots of painkillers, so then it felt like I was melting into the bed.
You know what's funny about the whole thing? Two weeks before this all happened I was arm wrestling and someone made the comment: "You know you can break your arm doing that."

during parade

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 jayhawk 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.
Fieldhouse. A video of the routine posted on YouTube by KU Athletics has more than 279,000 views.
The Jayhawk Buddy System first
The Jayhawk Buddy System is an initiative of the Office of the Vice Provest of Student Success and encourages students to have a "buddy" when going out or drinking to stay safe.
Students interested in joining the next flash mob can e-mail vpscmscom@ku.edu.
