Believe it or not,
Ive been in two
bands.
When my sister
and I were about 9
and 7, respectively,
we started a band
in our bedroom. We
wrote the songs to-
gether, Shana was the singer, and I was the drum-
mer. In lieu of a real drum set, I would bang the
detachable plastic legs of one of my shelves on a
cardboard box, and it felt great. I dont remember
our name or any of our songs. In fact, we only
lasted a few days because we both got bored with
it, realizing we didnt have the necessary talent or
equipment to be in a band. But it sparked some-
thing in me.
My next band experience came in elementary
school when a few friends and I decided to start
The Hot Fudge Sundaes. We practiced once or
twice at school, and planned to meet sometime
outside of school. We even came up with ways
to raise money for whatever we (the band, of
course) might need it for. But it was just another
disappointment.
Nowadays, I've left my dreams of musical star-
dom behind and focused on more "realistic" goals.
But the musician in me comes out from time to
time in the shower or while playing the drums
for Rock Band. I guess I can't leave it completely
behind.
Read Jessie's story on page 8 about what it's
really like to be in a band, from practicing to tour-
ing across the country.
and hey, if anyone needs a drummer, call me!

55 Years and Still
Amazing.
Just cross the bridge
Youre not around for for 55 years unless
you have something amazing to offer.
4 TANS FOR $20
By Dianne Smith
dsmith@kansan.com
Marysa Sacerdote stands over a 5-gallon bucket
with a new hand-held kitchen mixer in her hands.I
think this one has more power than the last one,
she says, guiding the mixer through the soap mixture
in the bucket.
She stares intently at the soap, daring it to set
up before she gets it into the molds. Over her linen
pants and T-shirt, she wears rubber gloves and a
whimsical plastic apron printed with coffee cups and
pastries. Sacerdote is at work, but the environment is
certainly not as stressful as any corporate cubicle.
Bob Marley plays from a stereo in the living
room, and a relaxing scent flls the room, a mixture
of all the essential oils and the fnished bars of soap
stacked on shelves in the hallway. Glass bottles of
essential oils sit in the windowsill amongst bud vases
and other knickknacks.
This is the factory for Healing Moon Soaps, the
natural soap company that Sacerdote runs out of her
home in East Lawrence. She made her frst batch of
soap 10 years ago this month. She started selling her
soaps at holiday craft shows about a year later, but
it wasnt until fve years ago that her business really
took off.Today, her soaps are sold at six locations in
Lawrence, including The Merc, Hy-Vee and Weavers
Department Store.
Local products are the newest trend in the all-
natural industry, says Laurel Eastling, HealthMarket
manager at Hy-Vee, 4000 W. Sixth St. Locally made
soaps sell very well, Eastling says, because customers
like that theyre natural and dont irritate sensitive
skin.
Most of them are happy that there is an
alternative, that they smell nice and that theyre
not full of parabens, chemicals and other additives,
Eastling says.
The ingredients
Sacerdote makes soap out of only natural
ingredients. Her basic recipe consists of palm oil,
coconut oil, olive oil, fltered water and sodium
hydroxide, commonly called lye, which is a naturally
occurring liquid extracted from soaking wood
ashes in water. For the scent, she adds essential oils,
herbs and spices. Clays, iron oxides and botanicals
add the coloring.
She gets her ingredients locally whenever possible.
The honey in her honey-oatmeal soap comes from
Blossom Trail Bee Ranch in Baldwin City.The crushed
rose petals in her lavender-rose soap come from
the tea roses in her own garden. She buys only high-
quality ingredients and is careful about what she puts
into her body or on her skin.
Your skin is everything; everything you take in
becomes a part of you, Sacerdote says.
For her, using only plant materials is a personal
decision. Homemade soap also can be made using
animal products such as goats milk, tallow or lard.
Commercial soaps, however, use synthetic chemicals
that can be harsh on your skin. Eastling says a lot of
customers have sensitivities to these chemicals.
Alyssa Padilla, Leavenworth junior, says natural
soap is less drying.Commercial soap sucks moisture
out of your skin, she says.You feel like you have to
put on a bottle of lotion.
Katelyn McGill, Omaha, Neb., junior, started
using natural soap because she was fed up with the
products her dermatologist had prescribed for her
acne.The Retin-A, a type of acne medicine, had dried
out her skin and made it sensitive to sunlight.
I had gone away from anything natural, and it was
more harmful than anything, she says. McGill started
using Sacerdotes soap about a year ago and now
says her skin is smoother and less irritated.
The process
Homemade soap can be made two ways: cold-
process and hot-process. Sacerdote uses the cold-
process method, which uses only the heat produced
by the chemical reaction of mixing the lye and the
oils.
Cold-process is the simplest method because the
mixture cooks itself, reaching temperatures of 130
degrees on its own. Sacerdote frst mixes the fltered
water and lye. She then adds the lye to a bucket
of palm, coconut and olive oils and breaks out her
hand-held electric mixer. She mixes the batter until
it starts to thicken like puddingwhat soap makers
call trace.
While Sacerdote mans the mixer, a friend
gradually pours in the ingredients that scent and
color the soap. Depending on the type of soap, that
could be anything from crushed rose petals and
lavender essential oil to oatmeal and peppermint
essential oil.The oatmeal and other plant materials
serve as natural exfoliants, leaving skin smooth and
refreshed.
She then pours the mixture into the wooden
boxes she uses as molds. She covers the tops of
the boxes with squares of cardboard then swaddles
them with blankets.The boxes are stored on a
stainless-steel kitchen rack nestled between her
washing machine and the far corner of her kitchen.
My life is one big game of Jenga, she says as she
maneuvers another box of soap onto the already
full rack.
Now she waits.The soap needs about six weeks
to fnish curing before she can sell it. It frst spends
one week in the molds while it cooks, then she
scrapes the ash off and cuts it into bars.The bars are
then stored unwrapped for at least another week.
Sacerdote says its important to let the soap cure so
that it doesnt get mushy in the shower.
Every few weeks, she reserves a whole day for soap
making. Its an effcient operation: She can make 500
bars in one day. She spends the morning measuring
the ingredients and setting them out in her kitchen.
Sacerdote puts Bob Marley on the stereo, ties on her
apron and gets ready for a busy day at work.

To streamline the process of coloring her soaps, Marysa Sacerdote mixes clay pigments and botanicals with
olive oil and stores the mixture in jars. The olive oil helps release the color in the botanicals.

One cooking device
every busy college
student should
own is a Crock-
Pot. Crock-Pots,
also known as
slow cookers,
are a great way to
prepare a meal that will
last several days without
taking all day to prepare.
Brandon Bundy, Wichita
graduate student, is a Crock-
Pot afcionado. Its easy, its bulk and
I can make something for the whole week,
Bundy says.
Slow-cooking turkey breasts gives you a lot of bird for your buck. A
boneless turkey breast costs between $6 and $8. The beneft of buying just
the breast is its all meatonce its cooked, just carve away.
The night before you cook the turkey breast, take it out of the freezer
and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Before you head to class in the
morning, place it in the slow cooker along with a can of chicken broth. Add
some sliced potatoes, carrots and other vegetables for a side dish. Most
slow cookers have high and low settings. Set the cooker to low and
go on your merry way. Depending on the size of the turkey breast, it will
take between fve and seven hours to cook on the low setting. Using the
low setting keeps the meat from getting too dry. Youll know the turkey is
cooked when the meat pulls apart easily and is uniformly white in color.
At the end of the day your home will be flled with the aroma of a meal
ready to eat. I kept track of how long it took me to prepare this meal from
the time the turkey left my freezer to when it reached my plate. The total
time I spent preparing dinner: four minutes. Not bad for a meal I can eat
for several days.

Does your
favorite pair of
pants have a
broken zipper?
Dont throw
them out just
yet, because
a zipper can
be easily
fxed. Carolyn
Hill, manager
of Hobby
Lobbys fabric
department,
1801 W. 23rd St., explains three easy steps for fxing a zipper.
Take out the old zipper. Use a seam ripper and some scissors
to cut the threads holding the old zipper in place. Be careful not to rip
the fabric. Once the zipper is out, you can use it to determine what size
zipper you will need to replace it with. Hobby Lobby sells many different
sizes and colors of zippers, ranging in price from $1 to $5.
Pin and baste. Put the top side of the zipper against the back
side (inside) of the fabric. Pin the zipper in place. With a needle and
thread, baste the zipper to the fabric. Basting requires you to make
several stitches (going down through the fabric and zipper and back up
the other side) along the length of the zipper. This will hold the zipper
in place while you are sewing. Remove the pins once youve fnished
basting.
Stitch. Put the zipper foot on your sewing machine and sew each
side of the zipper to the fabric. If you dont have a sewing machine, Hill
says you can stitch the zipper by hand, but it will probably not last for a
long time.
Thread and needles for basting and sewing can also be found at
Hobby Lobby. Thread is usually a couple dollars for 250 yards and
needles come in assorted packages for $2 or less.

I had the opportunity to email Minowa
some questions about his newest album and
environmental beliefs. Heres what he had to say:
How did the live painting start?
CM: My wife and one of my closest friends are
painters. Its a great way for us to be able to enjoy
this project together and be in a band together.
How did Feel Good Ghosts come together?
CM: I do the writing and recording up here at
the farm and send the band those tracks. Most of
the string parts are originally performed on the
keyboard, and they embellish and record the real
instruments. We had a hired studio drummer for
this CD and we added Shawn Neary to the lineup,
who was formally the bass player of Tapes n Tapes.
Were there any songs that were
particularly hard to write?
CM: Yes, there was a song called A Place that I
ditched off the album last minute, despite having put
more work into it than any other. I just couldnt
work out the glitches in time.
Why is environmentalism important to
you?
CM: Environmentalism should be important to
everyone. Translated literally, its the science of
learning how to survive, as a species, as long as
possible on this planet. If youre interested in
keeping things alive, you have a natural inclination
to be interested in environmentalism.
What does your band do to help the
environment?
CM: 100% postconsumer recycled and organic
CDs and merchandise, biodiesel van, solar panels,
geothermal recording studio, weve planted over
a thousand trees, and were constantly looking for
ways to do things better.
What prompted your environmentalism?
CM: Ive been like that as far back as I can
remember. I can even remember almost getting
fred from my very frst job at Pizza Hut, because I
hid all their aerosols and tried to get them to use
this hand pump spray device I concocted. Its just
something I feel very deeply about, and theres no
option to live and work in any way other than in a
manner that respects the other life forms that are
sharing this little sphere with us.
Check out Kansan.com for the complete interview.
If Cloud Cult interests you, make sure to show
up at Daveys Uptown Ramblers Club, 3402 Main
St., Kansas City, Mo., on Monday (21+, $10). If you
see me, be sure to say hi. Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-
Partying Through Tornadoes) goes on presale later this
week at www.cloudcult.com.
Cloud Cult
Did you hear about the deaf girl, the one whose
songs gone No. 1? Three minutes of silence on the
radio is the best damn gift for everyone.
That lyric off Cloud Cults last album, The Meaning
of 8, really sums up what they try, successfully, to do:
make music thats different than everything on the
radio. Cloud Cult, or at least its current incarnation,
came about in much the same way that a lot of
bands these days do: personal tragedy. In Cloud
Cults case, however, the tragedy was much more
than emo boy loses emo girl, criesit was more
along the lines of thoughtful, father loses infant son
in his sleep.
Craig Minowa, Cloud Cults singer/songwriter, has
taken this life-altering experience and from it created
some of the most beautiful music imaginable. Since
2002, Minowa has written upwards of 100 songs
dealing with virtually every aspect of his familys
loss. Each album the group has released has had an
overarching theme or message, from birth to death,
life and the afterlife, and the medication used to
deal with those topics. Cloud Cults newest album,
Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes), is
a masterfully produced album about, according to
Minowa, rebirth and learning how to deal with lifes
hardships. Like the rest of their albums, Feel Good
Ghosts is printed on 100% post-consumer organic
plastic.At times thoroughly depressing and at
others beautifully uplifting, Cloud Cult has a unique
talent for making dichotomous styles mix well with
each other.The albums third track,The Tornado
Lessons, ends with overdubbed electric guitar riffs
that merge into piano chords that would ft equally
as well in a childrens fairy tale while what sounds
like a chipmunk sings over acoustic guitar.The song
ends with a powerful crescendo of crashing drums
and then, without skipping a beat, the fourth track,
When Water Comes To Life, comes in with
an orchestral waltz (violins, cellos, et al). If lesser
musicians tried to do the same thing, the listener
would almost certainly fnd themselves scratching
their head, but Minowa and Co. somehow make it all
work as a cohesive packageand they do it well.
Their live show is amazing as well. Cloud Cult
tours with two live painters. Starting with white
canvases, each of them paints onstage while the band
performs. By the time Cloud Cults set is through,
they have produced incredibly detailed paintings.
Its an intense experience.These paintings are then
auctioned off that night, and the band uses the
proceeds to purchase credits in order to stay carbon
neutral while touring.As someone who has been
to a lot of concerts (upwards of 200), Im rarely
impressed. Cloud Cult, however, is an atypical band
that truly proves that those who say the best art
comes from pain are right, and is certainly among
the top unsigned acts in the country.

Burgers, beer, bocce. Thats whats going
on here, says Joshua Mochel, owner of Jo
Shmos, 724 Massachusetts St.
Youre probably all too familiar with
the frst two, but you might not be too
knowledgeable about that last item.
In bocce (pronounced boch-ee), two
teams of two players each compete on
a long court flled with sand. A small ball
(pallino) is thrown to the other side of the
lane, then becomes a target. The team then
throws eight large balls (bocci), trying to get
each ball as close to the target as possible.
The game gives Jo Shmos a much
different atmosphere than any other
Lawrence bars. Quinn Armstrong, Chicago
senior, enjoys this new alternative. Its
something different. Defnitely not your
average bar, Quinn says.
A restaurant and bar are located on the
frst foor. Move up to the second foor and
things get a little more interesting. This area
has a bocce court and booths with coolers
so you dont have to make continual beer
runs. Large windows also provide a great
view of downtown.

of the Eighth Street Tap Room. His eyes are closed

loudly enough to leave your ears ringing for a couple
hours.
Surrounding Emke are the other four members
of the band Boo and Boo Too, rocking out so hard
that one of the guitarists has dropped to his knees
on the concrete foor. Facing Emke in the crowd
are his closest friendsnot even a foot away from

violently shaking their heads to the music.
They play a song from their practice session, only
this time the cops dont show up to complain about
the noise.The song is a new one, but no one else
would know that except their most avid fans, who
dont miss a beat.The Indie-rock sound escaping from
their instruments is fresh and a tough one to copy.
Their sound, described as a loud wall of noise
by Derrick Solsberg, Kansas City, Mo., bass guitarist,
is hard on the ears, vocal chords and especially the
instruments. But the band members cant think of
anything else they would rather do.
All fve members of the bandGuaraz
Bashyakarla, Barret Emke, Drew Gibson, Allen Guinn
and Derrick Solsberghave loved music since
they were very young, drawing inspiration from
artists like David Bowie, My Bloody Valentine and
Radiohead. And they have loved playing music even
more. I like music because Im totally ADD, and it
helps me think the least, says Allen Guinn, Lees
Summit, Mo., guitarist. I cant imagine doing anything
else.
Boo and Boo Too formed in December 2004.
Emke had been playing guitar for a long time and
wanted to start playing and writing songs with other
people instead of just working by himself. He played
with two of his friends from high school, Eric Ratzel
and Stan Tanner (who are no longer in the band),
and the trio would practice in his moms basement.
This practice space was also an inspiration for
the bands name. Emkes mom was in the process
of moving, so a lot of her things were in boxes,
including a book called Boo and Boo Too. Emke fondly
remembered the book, which was about two ghosts
that lived in a house together. For Emke, the book
represented a lot of what was going on in his life
at the time, especially with his mother moving out
of his childhood house. It also applied to the band
because a lot of the lyrics for Boo and Boo Too deal
with ghosts as a metaphor for memories. I kind of
felt like the house was haunted because no one was
there anymore, Emke said, My mom didnt even
know that we were practicing there for a while.
Emke and Tanner met Guaraz Bashyakarla and
Luke Namee through friends when they frst came
to the University of Kansas. They all began playing
together, but then went on hiatus in the summer
of 2006, partly because Tanner was going abroad to
Russia. During this hiatus, they met Allen Guinn and
Derrick Solsberg and started practicing and jamming
together, which led to them playing together.
After a month of playing with Derrick, we
decided that he really ft and the band had a
different sound that we all wanted, Emke says. So,
we decided that we didnt want him to not play with
us.
While Boo and Boo Toos members changed, their
sound also transformed into something they all liked,
so they started writing together. Whenever they
write songs, it usually just comes from an idea one
of them has or comes from something as simple as
just a couple of chords that one of them likes. When
they play their songs live, their songs change even
more through improvisation, especially when theyre
particularly energetic at a show and their other
friends are there to cheer them on.
Because all members of the band were friends
before they started playing together, theyve based
a lot of their band around their friends and their
interactions with people outside the band. They
even had a show called Chomp Wompnamed
after a silly noise that Gibson made upthat made
it possible for all their friends to exhibit their own
artwork from photography to jewelry to comic
books to origami cranes.
They get a lot of inspiration from their friends
and fans, but they also get a lot of inspiration on
the road. Being on the road is one of the most
exciting parts about being in a band, says Guaraz
Bashyakarla, Wichita senior and drummer for the
band, said. The band has gone on three tours, but
this last summer was their frst tour that was more
than a week long. They went through the Midwest
up to Ohio then Pennsylvania, New York, North
Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. The thing that
appeals to me is that when you are in a car for a
certain amount of time, you arent paying attention
to the world, Bashyakarla says. On the road, there
is no sense of time.
Guitarist Guinn likes the unexpected situations
that arise from being on the road. He describes a
time in Iowa when one of their fans invited them
back home to stay the night at his parents house.
Guinn thought of him as shy and awkward but loved
the fact that the situation was so unpredictable.
People are so nice to bands. On tour we never
really stay in hotels or sleep in cars, Guinn says.
He describes another time when a fan bought them
all Mexican food and let them watch David Lynch
movies at his house.
But driving across the country can lead to some
unfortunate accidents, as well.
Guinn describes when he was stuck in Lodi, Ohio
for a week after the engine of the bands vehicle
exploded. The town only had a truck stop and a
car mechanic. They stayed in a hotel but refused to
watch television the whole time. Instead, they did a
lot of yoga and went on a lot of walks. Even in the
worst situations, though, Guinn says that none of
the members ever really got homesick because they
were never gone for more than three weeks.
Rustine Bragaw, Olathe senior and bass guitarist
for the Lawrence-based band Volunteers, describes
his on-the-road experiences in the same way. He
loves meeting new people but admitted to sleeping
on a lot of infatable pool rafts on foors and
sometimes just in the bands Chevy Astro Van.
Bragaw will graduate this spring and also wants
to live his life as a musician. For Bragaw, its the best
thing he can imagine himself doing because he gets
to interact with his friends and write songs with
them.
Volunteers goal is to be able to play music and
make enough money to pay their bills. During spring
break, theyre going to New York to speak with
some record labels. If that doesnt work out, Bragaw
guarantees that they would still fnd ways to make
music.
Brad Young, Lawrence musician, has already found
ways to live out his dream. As drummer for the local
band The Wilmotts,Young gets to play music while
still working in a music store and teaching guitar to
Lawrence residents. He has worked out a schedule
so he can work during the afternoons and play music
and write songs in the mornings and evenings. My
goal in music is to just continue creating and feeling
self-gratifcation from that. It makes me feel whole,
Young says.
Of course, life isnt always easy when you are in
a band.
Its hard to make money if no one has heard
of you. And on tour, most bands only break even
after gas and hotel expenses. The same petty drama
involved in many lines of business is also present on
the music scene.
Guinn, guitarist for Boo and Boo Too, moved to
Lawrence from Kansas City to get away from the
clique-y music scene there. However, he says it can
sometimes be just as clique-y here, which bums
him out. I was naive when I got into music, hoping
there wouldnt be as much competition as if you
were a doctor or lawyer, but it isnt that way, and I

dont understand why it cant be, Guinn says.
In Lawrence, the competition is high, even though
several bars host live music. This is why recording
is so important for these bands. With Web sites like
MySpace, Facebook and YouTube, its easy to get
music out there, whether youre the Red Hot Chili
Peppers or a band recording in a garage.
Boo and Boo Too,Volunteers and The Wilmotts
have all spent hours upon hours recording in the
studio. Boo and Boo Too has recorded four EPs
on Iron Paw Recordsa label one of their friends
startedand the band has been working on a full-
length album for the past six months. The band,
however, does not plan on signing with any big
record label any time soon. A lot of hitting it big
is based on chance or superfciality, Emke says. A
record label doesnt care because theyre basically
using you.
Boo and Boo Too wants to be able to continue
to record and do things the way they want. Once
their album is released, they plan on touring more
and getting their music heard. Ideally, Emke says they
would love to make money from their work, but
moneys not what theyre worried about. They just
want to continue doing what they love to do and
getting a positive response from their fans. As Emke
says, As long as there are people that are into what
were doing, thats enough for us right now.
Allen Guinn, Boo and Boo Too guitarist, jams at the Eight Street Tap Roomon Feb. 28. The band played after The Umbros, a band fromColumbia, Mo., opened for them.

In the age of the Internet,
countless bands pop into the
publics collective conscience,
only to disappear into MySpace
purgatory a few weeks later. For
the casual music fan, it can all be
too much to follow, which is why
we have Pandora.com. Created to
put to use the data collected from
the Music Genome Project, an
application that studies and groups
popular music, Pandora serves two
purposes according to founder Tim
Westergren.
First, its a radio service that
allows you to easily personalize
what youre listening to, Westergren says. And second, its a place where youre going to hear a lot
of music youve never heard before.
The site is free and easy to use. The user flls out a short registration form, the enters a favorite
band and, Voila! A personalized station is created. For example, if a user enters The Decemberists,
the station starts playing the bands song From My Own True Love. The site then moves on to
other songs with a similar sound such as an Elliott Smith track, followed by a song by Fruit Bats. If
you dont dig everything that pops up, simply use the skip button or you can also offer feedback
about a particular song.
Part of the reason for Pandoras success is that not only does it accept major label artists, but it
also reviews indie-label acts. Next time you want to explore new music, make it easier on yourself
and let the people at Pandora do the grunt work for you.

questions
As a kid I would have to say Denver,
the Last Dinosaur.
I love the mashups on www.
thehoodinternet.com. My favorite right
now is Ghost Hustler and Rick Ross.
I cant get that line, Every day Im
hustlin, out of my head.
New York City was a lot of fun. I went
there with KJHK, and it was a really
good time. I got stuck on the public
transit a lot and wanted to scream,
Im stuck in Brooklyn! Its exciting
to be in the same city Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles II was flmed.
When I saw Spoon my freshman year
with all of my freshman-year friends.
Some bizarre events went down that
night. My balding professor was there
just rocking out to Spoon.
Trying to make sense of my degree.
Right now Im a Japanese major, but
Ive had other majors in the past.
Ideally Id like to be on the West
Coast doing design, but realistically
Ill probably be on the West Coast
painting.
Fraggle Rock. My mom was a creator
and writer for that show, so I
watched it regularly on VHS.
Right now Im obsessed with Levon
Helm, who used to be a member of
the rock group The Band. Hes got
a solo record out right now that is
absolutely beautiful. Its kind of a
bluegrass sound where he plays with
his family. Its so real and where
music belongs.
What made a real effect on me when
I was little was visiting Wyoming. It
was so big, and it still makes a strong
impression on me. I love big open
spaces, lots of sky and being able to
see on for miles. Im from Scotland,
so thats something I love. I also love
New York, but thats another kind of
experience.
Probably when I saw Tom Waits
play at the Hammersmith Apollo in
London a couple years ago. He hadnt
played in London in 17 years. Ive
listened to his music ever since I was
a kid, so it was exciting to fnally see
him in the fesh.
I could be in a number of places in a
number of ways. I could be living on
a ranch in Wyoming as a hermit. Id
love to be touring regularly, but if I
was honest with myself, Ill probably
still be on the road.

interesting fact: One theory of how Shigeru Miyamoto came up with Donkey Kongs name is that he looked in various
dictionaries for a word for dumb because he wanted Donkey Kong to be a rather stubborn/wily figure and found the
word Donkey. The other part of the name, Kong, came from the famous King Kong. www.nintendoland.com
spare your hair
contact the writer:
jbriscoe@kansan.com
Girls, everyone knows youre hiding that greasy hair with a baseball cap or a convenient ponytail.
Guys, we know youre too lazy to shower every day, as well. But not scrubbing your scalp may actually
be benefcial for those lovely locks.
Lee Heeter, salon coordinator at Headmasters, 809 Vermont St., says we only need to wash our hair
two or three times a week. It may sound disgusting, but Heeter says that simply rinsing your hair with
water and massaging the scalp will wash away almost all the grime.
Scrubbing with a full head of lather, while pretty in the commercials, actually causes much unneeded
friction between hair follicles. The friction can cause your hair to look and feel textured. Using a
conditioner and rinsing will reduce this effect.
Heeter says there are exceptions to every rule. People with oily hair probably need to wash daily.
The same goes for those who use products such as hair color frequently.
Sometimes washing seems like a necessity. Julie Rocklin, Overland Park senior, says she washes
every day, sometimes twice a day.
I work at On the Border, so I need to wash my hair because I dont want to smell like Mexican
food, Rocklin says.
Working out can also prompt
some to think washing is necessary,
but Heeter says there is a better
solution to keeping your hair
smelling fresh than running it
through the ringer every day.
After working out, go ahead
and rinse your hair and use a
light conditioner. Its really just
the bacteria that makes your hair
smell, not the sweat.
Heeter also says using store-
bought brands can be damaging
to your hair. His advice is to use
a professional product, for both
men and women. He added that
women shouldnt be afraid to use
a product labeled for men.
The shampoo cant tell if you
have a penis, Heeter says.
Keeping your hair smelling
good, feeling good and healthy
can be as easy as rinsing and
conditioning. Next time youre
wet and naked, remember to
massage the scalp and focus on
cleaning the hair that falls about
three inches from the cuticle.
The rest should take care of
itself.

Ask the modern layman about Shakespeare and
youre bound to hear something about stuffy soliloquies,
lofty language and boring spiels about honor. Even I,
an English major who is taking a class on Shakespeare,
went into the KU Theatres production of Twelfth Night
thinking that my only weapon against dozing off would
be the bottle of green tea I smuggled in with me.
Oh, how wrong I was!
Twelfth Night is a two-hour riot fueled by sexual
innuendos, mistaken identities and gender role reversals.
And to enhance the hilarity, the KU Theatre folks have
set Shakespeares later play in prohibition-era New
Orleans, complete with prostitutes and righteous
preachers. Its Shakespeare with a southern accent,
Elizabethan courtliness with swamp-soaked feet.
A bunch of colorful and well cast characters are after
the wealth or love of sassy sugar-mama Lady Olivia
(DeAndrea Beatrice Herron).Theres Viola (Jordan
White), who is disguised as a man to avoid enemies and
is trying to play matchmaker for her lady, Orsino (Amy
Virginia Buchanon; casting Orsino as a woman diverges
from the Shakespeare version and adds a homoerotic
twist).Viola competes with the effeminate southern gentleman Sir Andrew (Spencer Holdren), who has
been colluding with Sir Toby, a drunkard who wants his share of the pie.Then theres Malvolio (Garrett
Kelly), the servant who is duped into believing that his lady, Olivia, has fallen for him.
The rule to the chaos is that those who want love have a hell of a time fnding it, and those not
looking have it plop into their unassuming lap. But of course, as in any traditional comedy, things have a
way of working out in the end.
The play runs through this weekend at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.A student ticket
costs $10.

I was born and raised
Catholic. I know you cant
technically be born a religion,
but when youre born into a
family in which your grand-
mother wanted to baptize
you in the sink because
waiting two months for the
offcial baptism is too long,
Id say I came pretty darn
close. My family is not just
the Christmas-and-Easter
kind of Catholics. Were uber-
Catholic. I grew up thinking it
was normal to have a priest
over for dinner, to have
my hometown Archbishop
know me by name and to
meet a Cardinal by the time
I was 1. We have holy water by our front door,
and I thought that every family used the Catholic
Household Blessings and Prayers book for birth-
days, anniversaries or signifcant family events. Boy,
was I wrong.
This realization didnt come for quite some time.
I went to Catholic grade school, of course. As much
as I would love to say its not as clich as everyone
makes it out to be, aside from nuns with rulers,
St. James was a straight stereotype.
Pleated plaid skirts, Mass every week,
memorized prayers and sneaky pubes-
cent kids making out in the coat closet.
In 8th grade I transferred to a public
school and experienced major culture
shock. My world began to transform.
I realized kids watched TV shows
besides Touched by an Angel and Full
House. Secular radio replaced my Amy
Grant and DC Talk CDs. My freshman
year in high school, I even went to a
concert without my parents. Hanson
was so rebellious.
Being Catholic, Im no stranger to alcohol. My
parents introduced my three siblings and me to
their good friend moderation when we were
teenagers, allowing us to drink casually at the din-
ner table. My parents always exemplifed drinking
responsibly. But, as I grew older, I heard stories of
my dads frat-tastic days of yore, and it didnt take
long for this apple to fall near the beer bong tree.
In high school, I felt like such a badass drinking
my Bacardi Ices and Smirnoff Twists. After getting
caught once or twice lying to my parents and
attending college parties, I calmed down a bit. My
dad said he knew I was going to drink in college
he just trusted it would be done responsibly. Not
even I could have predicted how far from the truth
that would turn out to be.
If you look at a photo album from my freshman
year of college, you would think it was a public
service announcement for alcohol abuse with the
tagline Drinking makes you ugly.
My eyes were squinty, my mascara
was running and it was apparent
that the party cup superglued to
my hand spilled and gave me a beer
shower. With fake IDs and random
make-outs, my freshman year
went off with a bang. I still went to
church every Sunday, though it was
almost mechanical: Sit,
stand, kneel. Its not that
I ever stopped believing.
I just wasnt thinking
about it. I found myself
going to church simply
because that was what
Id always done. It was
my routine.
After drunk dialing
a close friend and
having him overhear
some debauchery at
a bar, he told me he was worried.
That winter break, he asked me if
this was who I really wanted to be.
It got me thinking about my daily
life: Was this really me?
I calmed downfor a bit. I at-
tended a church retreatbecause
all my friends were out of town. I
stopped drinkingto save money
for a trip to California.
I wasnt choosing to calm
down for myself, and so the life of
boys, bars and booze came back
just as quickly as it left. After a
few months, however, something
changed. I started paying attention
in Mass and getting something out
of it. I actually wanted to go to church,
this time for me. I became more involved with the
retreat I so reluctantly went on. Slowly but
surely, my main group of friends evolved from
bar-hoppers to members of the St. Lawrence
Catholic Center. I didnt stop the hardcore party
scene because I felt judged by my new friends, but
I suddenly became more aware of my hypocritical
lifestyle. I didnt want to be the girl who worried
about being so hungover on Sunday that she gags a
little bit when she takes the wine at communion. I
didnt really make a conscious decision to change
my ways. It just felt right to pray more and enjoy my
faith. The more I prayed and the closer I came to
God, the more at peace I felt.
Now, in my senior year, I wonder how this
happened. If you had asked me freshman year if I
thought Id be leading retreats and going to Mass
daily, I would have thought you were crazy. I hadnt
turned into some born-again Christian la Mandy
Moore in Saved!, who forced people to be FILLED
with Christs love! So who am I becoming?
I now try to live out my faith in everything I
do. I havent sworn off boys, and Im not on some
crazy prohibition crusade. Those who see me at
Quintons know this. But Ill stick to my beliefs even
when its uncomfortable. A nickname I have among
a close group of my non-Catholic friends is woman
of the faith. I dont mind being the token faithful.
In fact, I kind of like it. My friends know its not the
only thing that defnes me. Its just part of who I am.
Just as my time away from the sheltered days of
Catholic school has helped me to be more accept-
ing, I hope that through being myselfmy whole
self, from quirky sarcastic remarks to Jesus-lover to
bar-goerI can bring about a new stereotype for a
Christian. One that doesnt involve an overbearing,
the-power-of-Christ-compels-you speech, but
instead one that shows you can have fun and still
stick true to your beliefs. You dont have to choose
one or the other.
Keepin
the faith
