shower drill
"I thought the stove was on or something was on fire," she said, "so I jumped out immediately, grabbed myself a towel and was running around. It's so loud; I thought the sprinklers were going to go off."
Outside of their hygienic advantages, showers serve as a relaxant amidst a hectic college lifestyle. Cristal Barker, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she wished she could say the same.
Barker said in about one out of every three showers, steam sets off a blistering fire alarm. She said her landlord never warned her of this, so her first shower was halted with a bit of a surprise.
After scrambling to every room in the apartment, Barker finally realized the steam was the culprit. She said she began turning on the vent before every shower, but the alarm still goes off. At least now she sees it coming.
my own little minion
Don't mess with Katie West, a senior from Overland Park. Her dog has got her back.
Whenever West argued with one of her roommates last year, her dog would poop in her roommate's clean laundry basket.
"We decided wed start calling my dog 'My Own Little Minion', because he did my evil bidding" she said.
The dog was perfectly trained, and until this confrontational roommate, poop in the house had never been a problem. On top of the never-ending arguments, West said this roommate was dirty and never cleaned his dishes.
Messing with West and her "Own Little Minion" didn't get him any cleaner.

OA with congressman Kevin Yoder
The University Daily Kansan:
Chris Bronson/KANSAN
Congressman Kevin Yoder has a conversation with Megan Ritter junior from Overland Park, Alex Earles, senior from Salina, and Aaron Dullinger, a senior from Leawood, before his lecture in the Traditions Area on the 4th Floor of the Kansas Union. Yoder was at the Union from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m. Students enjoyed free pizza and asked Congressman Yoder questions after his lecture.
What experience or skill that you learned at KU has been the best help to you so far in Congress (or in politics in general)?
Yoder
Kevin Yoder: My KU experience really set me on a pathway to leadership. I can certainly say that if it wasn't for coming to KU and getting involved in all the activities and elections here, I would have not ever run for congress or ever be in this position. I attribute a lot of what I have developed as leadership skills from experiences in small student
groups here on campus.
Voder: Well certainly the debt and the yearly deficit. You know, we're also at a point where when you add up Medicare, social security and Medicaid, that within 30 years, those three programs will take up every dollar the federal government spends, leaving no money for education, no money for research, no money for transportation, no money for defense, no money for anything. It's gonna take some heavy lifting by the next generation. We're gonna have to figure out what we can live without. Will the next generation have all the of same entitlements benefits that the current generation has? I don't know. I think students are gonna have to decide now, if I'm 21 years old, what kind of country I want to live in 30 years from now and
Kansan: What issue do you think students should be paying more attention to?
start changing things to fix things down the road. If we wait until our generation is at the retirement age, it will be too late.
