I sit inside my apartment debating whether or not to go outside. Just when I think it is safe, a snowstorm hits Lawrence.
I find myself working out less during the winter. And even less than that when the ground is covered in snow. As a former cross-country runner, I have weathered many terrains and temperatures, but now I find myself weathering physical hibernation brought on by the cold, not including the work I put into getting to campus in one piece.
I get restless when I am cooped up in my apartment. My bones and muscles begin to itch for physical activity. I allow myself to get to the breaking point where I must run. I put on enough layers to cause me to sweat before I even leave the apartment.
Once the initial shock of sub-zero wind chills subside I break into a slow jog. After stumbling awkwardly on the snow-covered sidewalks, I am able to pick up a rhythm. One foot after the other hits the snow and kicks back to propel me forward. I push through the pain of cold air burning my lungs. My
pulse begins to race and my body warms up. As I pick up speed, I think that nothing can stop me from finishing my run ... that is, until I hit a slick patch of snow and break into my "Oh shit, I'm going to fall" dance.
When I return home, my ass is sore and there is snow in my pants. I take a long, warm shower and vow to myself that I will wait for warmer weather before I run again.
Justine's story about running in the cold on page 7 offers advice for runners who brave Mother Nature's frigid touch, especially those runners I see every so often in a T-shirt and shorts. I get chills watching them from a window in my heated apartment.
With a lot of the country sitting under a blanket of snow, I hope you all are staying warm and safe this winter. And if you happen to witness me doing my daily "Oh shit, I'm going to fall" dance, don't be afraid to applaud. It's awesome.

A full week has passed since BeeJay "B DOUBLE E" McLoyd shot his music video at the same location for the newest University of Kansas anthem with senior Alan Ginsberg. The Blue Valley North graduate has only been rapping for three years now after freestyle at
Mckoyl wanted to record "Red and Blue" because he thought he could do it better. He said he didn't think other people doing remixes were as serious as him when it came to music.
"I feel like mine is unique because it's somebody else's beat," McLoyd said. "I saw a bunch of remixes and I felt I could do it better than most of the other ones I heard from other colleges."

"Alan's my boy," McLoyd said. "We've been meaning to work together for last two, three months."

Students remember home through Chinese New Year
Susan Tang, a freshman from Hunan, China, performs a minority traditional dance depicting the stages of womanhood last year. KU students will celebrate the Chinese New Year Saturday afternoon with various performances, calligraphy workshops and food.

While many students welcomed Wednesday's canceled classes, it was more than just a snow day to Chinese students: It was the beginning of the Chinese New Year.

Although the new year didn't start until Thursday in China, the 14 hour time difference meant col
Maggie Liu, a senior from Jiangsu, China, said celebrating the 15-day holiday made her feel more at home.
ebrations began Wednesday morning in Kansas. Wednesday's de facto holiday combined with the preparation for new year celebrations gave many Chinese students a sense of familiarity.
Xinjie Tang, a sophomore from Hunan, China, said celebrating together eased the loneliness some students felt while they were away from China. Tang added that without; the celebrations, the new year would simply not have its festive atmosphere.
"It's another way to not make us
miss family as much." Liu said.

IFC board members may step down
jshorman@kansan.com
BY JONATHAN SHORMAN
Multiple executive board members of the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the governing body for fraternities, said they were willing to subject themselves to a vote to remove themselves from the council, following a hazing incident that occurred in November.
The declarations came at an IFC meeting Thursday evening that served as a forum for fraternity members and others to question council members about the hazing incident, which occurred after a turnover ceremony between the 2010 IFC council to the 2011 IFC council.
According to a December report by Associate Vice Provost for Student Success Lori Reesor, members of the council engaged in paddling on Nov. 18. The report said that no new executive board members were paddled by former
