EDITION NO.12
A friend of mine recently brought to my attention that I could be a vegan. The idea was laughable. Imagining my life without juicy hamburgers and Moose Tracks ice cream seemed impossible and joyless.
"You could be a peanut-butter vegan."
But, she said, my vegan lifestyle wouldn't be about what I can't eat; it would be about what I can eat.
You could be a peanut butter, vegan.
In Jayplay's issue last week, for Out & About, Michael asked people "If you could only eat one kind of food for the rest of your life, what would you pick?" Mine would be peanut butter and Ritz crackers. Not only is the combo my ultimate go-to snack, it also works as a substitute for any meal (yes, even breakfast). My friends express mother-like concern about these meal substitutes, but I can't refuse the power of the PB. Plus, I eat enough of it to argue I am getting plenty of calories and a healthy helping of protein.
Maybe they are more concerned by my habit of eating spoonfuls straight from the jar. But for me, a spoonful of peanut butter is the perfect dessert option when other
sweets are sparse.
The underlying reason for my peanut butter attachment might stem from laziness. I don't give myself much time to prepare meals, nor am I a very imaginative cook. But I don't always stick with the simplicity of peanut butter and crackers. Here are a few of my favorite concoctions when I prefer something a bit more sweet to go with my PB:
- oatmeal mixed with a spoonful of peanut butter
- Peanut butter spread on granola bars
- Peanut butter on banana slices
Peanut butter and I are stuck like glue, so I sometimes pack a jar of it in my backpack when I need a little protein power during the day. But students who prefer more traditional vegan or vegetarian meals can find plenty of accommodating options on campus. Check out Lindsey's story on page 8 to learn where to look.
"Peanut-butter vegan" is the perfect label to justify my peanut butter intake, but could I stick to the commitment of living a meat-free and dairy-free lifestyle? I am attracted to the benefits of feeling healthier and looking healthier, but realistically, I know a vegan lifestyle would be a struggle at first. Before making such a serious commitment, I'd like to explore various cuisines for both vegetarians and vegans. I'm open to a gradual dietary revolution, as long as peanut butter can be the leader.

Kirtland pleads guilty in athletics scandal
TICKETS
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
The seventh and final defendant in the federal prosecution of several former Kansas Athletics employees has pleaded guilty to involvement in its ticket scandal.
Kirtland's plea differs from the arrangement of the previous six defendants in that he did not enter a plea agreement with the

government, but rather entered a direct guilty plea, Cross said.
In his plea submitted to the court, Kirtland admitted to illegally selling tickets to KU sporting events for his own financial gain from 2005 to 2009.
"Although I do not know the exact value of the tickets I sold, I estimate the total value of the tickets I sold to be in excess of $120,000," he wrote in his petition to change his plea to guilty. "I acknowledge that I was conspiring to commit, and committing, a fraud upon the

Plans for service center delayed
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
The hope, she said, is that all platforms get done in a year but that isn't always the case.
One of the major platforms for KUnited coalition -the Student Services Center -won't be met this year because of unexpected delays in the process.
"We just kind of entered into it not knowing really how much work it would be, but it's been a really good learning experience." Ritter said.
Megan Ritter, student body vice president, said they weren't at the stage they had hoped to be at.
Originally, Student Senate leaders had hoped to have concrete plans in place for the Student Service Center at the conclusion of the semester. Blaming bureaucratic interests, they said that might not happen after all.
The center would encompass a variety of services, such as academic achievement and success, disability services and a writing center, that the leaders of Student Senate believe would
improve student engagement and performance through accessibility. Ideally, the building would include seven to 10 services.
电
The location of the center would ultimately dictate what services would be offered, which still remains a primary concern.
From the beginning, the top three choices for the site are the Burge Union, Anschutz Library and the parking lot across from the Kansas Union. Renovations or additions to existing structures would accommodate the new building but temporarily displace or relocate staff and faculty.
In an e-mail, provost Jeffrey Vitter said the University ultimately had the responsibility to decide whether to proceed with a project and to determine its location.
"I expect that this approach will allow us to plan more effectively and avoid dead ends and that process will more successfully mesh with student initiatives if the relevant discussions happen; earlier rather than later." Vitter said.
Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said the University
