dilapidated Toyota, holding his spare gas tank,
at his mercy to get home.
He drove me to my car, flled up the tank
and politely refused to accept any of the tiny
amount of cash I ofered him.
He said he always liked to help people out.
His dad died on the side of a highway like this
because no one stopped to help and a car later
hit him while he waited. It was a terrible way to
go, and the man didnt want any other family to
go through something like it.
With the terrible luck Ive had with cars, this
isnt my only story of random acts of kindness.
Many people have helped me out over the years
(including Jayplay editor Sean Rosner), but the
man from the run-down automotive repair
shop always sticks out in my mind because he
had no ties to me no obligation to help me
out. I never got his name and Ill probably never
see him again, but Ill always be thankful.
Check out Jakes story on page 19 about his
encounter with kind strangers in New Zea-
land. Perhaps the next time you see someone
stranded, you can be the one someone writes
about later.

HEALTH
good for you/bad for you // LATE-NIGHT
SNACKING
Its that time of night we all dread. We had
dinner a long time ago, but we have a long time
until breakfast. Taco Bell even has its own name
for it: Fourth Meal, the late-night hankering
for more food. Is late night snacking making us
pack on the pounds, or are we simply satisfying
our cravings?
Staci Hendrickson, registered dietician at
Healthy Balance, 535 Gateway Drive, says as
long as people dont go over the total calories
they should be eating in a day, it doesnt really
matter what time of day they eat. Hendrickson
says the problem most people have with late-
night snacking is they eat while watching TV or
trying to stay up and study and are just adding
extra calories on top of what theyve already
eaten throughout the day.
Its all in how youre doing it, Hendrickson
says. If youre just doing that snacking and
youre not really hungry then your body doesnt
really need it, but if youre actually hungry and
you maybe didnt get to eat dinner, then you
need to eat.
To avoid the past-midnight fast food line,
combine drinking water with eating snacks high
in fber, such as whole-grain crackers, whole-
grain cereals or popcorn, which Hendrickson
says is very flling but doesnt have a lot of
calories as long as it isnt loaded with butter.
If its your sweet tooth that is nagging you,
Hendrickson says drinking sugar-free hot
cocoa can be a good strategy for quieting the
craving without the extra calories.

thats disgusting // NOT WEARING SOCKS
Tere are all kinds of excuses its way
past laundry day and there isnt a clean sock
in the drawer or on your foor; you dont like
the look of socks with your shoes; you were in
a rush this morning and threw on the nearest
pair of shoes and ran for the door. But the
bottom line is that the sock was invented for
a reason.
Lawrence Gaston, Lawrence podiatrist,
says the problem with not wearing socks is
that our feet perspire throughout the day.
Te moisture from the perspiration (which is
normally whisked away by our trusty socks)
dude. gross. WITH YOUR SHOES sometimes its hard to tell.
attracts organisms like bacteria, fungus and yeast.
Essentially youre allowing those organisms to
get into your shoes, Gaston says. Yeast, fungus,
bacteria, viruses and plantar warts can live and
grow inside the materials in your shoe.
Tis community of bacteria you create in your
shoe also causes odor, in addition to the odor
caused by the perspiration, ofcially making you
the smelly kid in class.
If you still insist on not wearing socks, Dr.
Gaston recommends letting your shoes air out
and get lots of sunlight in between use. He says
throwing the shoes in a dark closet or underneath

the shoes out and possibly kill the

On the contrary, if youve been

recommends investing in socks that
can wick away moisture and breathe
well, instead of a thick, heavy-duty
pair.

HEALTH
Only an extreme problem will get Andrew
Imel, Dallas senior, under a stethoscope. Te last
time he went to the doctor was a year ago when
he sprained his ACL while playing club soccer
an injury that kept him of the feld for three
weeks. Before that it was for bronchitis.
According to a 2001 survey by the United
States Census Bureau, 33 percent of men went a
year without once seeing a doctor compared with
only 21 percent of women.
But why is it that men are more reluctant
to visit the doctor than women? Is it the sterile
smell? Te seemingly endless time in the waiting
room? Sheer laziness? What is it about the doctor
that has men running?

RUB SOME DIRT ON IT
Men might be more hesitant to visit the doctor
because its less acceptable in our culture for them
to do so. Tere are societal expectations that
men should just tough things out, says Nancy
Hamilton, associate professor of psychology.
Not relying on a doctor makes Imel feel
responsible. I take pride in being able to take
care of myself, he says. He doesnt deliberately
choose not to go to the doctor because it makes
him feel less manly. Its subconscious. None of
the men in my family go to the doctor, so I dont
either, he says.
But these stereotypes are out there and they
may be worse for college-aged men. When
youre young and healthy you think you can
handle things on your own, but sometimes you
cant, Hamilton says.
Often men, more than women, need a
push from family and friends to get general or
mental health care, says Sarah Kirk, director of
the KU Psychological Clinic. Because of social
expectations for men to be tough, its important
for them to be supported, she says.

MEN ARE FROM MARS
Another reason that men visit the doctor less
than women is simply because of the diferences
in our bodies. Women require more routine
maintenance, Hamilton says. Annual pap smears
and birth control measures require women to
visit the doctor more often.
Plus, for women, doctor appointments arent
one-stop shopping. Its more fragmented. Tey
have to visit one doctor for a pap smear, another
for a sinus infection while men usually just see
one general practitioner, Hamilton says. Tese
diferent appointments increase the number
of times women visit the doctor. Even if you
factor out those numbers, women still visit the
doctor more than men, and for more ambiguous
reasons, she says.

Reluctant patient: Men statistically see doctors less often than women for a multitude of possible reasons,
from the appearance of toughness to a lack of awareness of their bodies compared with that of women.

DOES GOING TO THE DOCTOR
MAKE YOU LESS OF A MAN?
MACHO
MACHO
MAN
Men are taught early on to visit the doctor
only if they have an injury, though women learn
to seek preventative health care through annual
check-ups, says Patty Quinlan, supervisor of
nursing at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Casey Finch, Lincoln, Neb., senior, says the
last time he visited the doctor was for intestinal
pain after running a marathon. He doesnt go to
the doctor just for colds.
Women might also visit the doctor more
often because they are more in-tune with their
bodies. In part, women are hardwired to
detect symptoms better than men, Hamilton
says. Women notice smaller changes in body
temperature and can detect pain earlier than
men.

SICK AND TIRED
Ten theres just the general unpleasantness
that comes with a visit to the doctor.
Finch dislikes going to the doctor because
its expensive and time consuming plus most
things tend to take care of themselves, he says.
Imel hates going to the doctor because doctors
appointments mean missing class and getting
behind in work. Ten theres also the fact that
Imel hates getting his blood drawn. His hard-
to-fnd veins make visiting the doctor a prickly,
unpleasant experience. Im 22 years old and I
still get nervous.
Hey, were not all tough all the time and
maybe we shouldnt try to be.
WHAT MAKES US DECIDE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR?
FOUR FACTORS THAT GET YOU
INTO THE WAITING ROOM.
1) Its an important body part.
If whats afected is a valued body part, like
your face, youre more likely to go to the doctor
than if the problem is with your calf, says Nan-
cy Hamilton, associate professor of psychology.
2) Its something you can see.
Notice a weird bump on your leg? Is your ankle
swelling? Chances are youll get it checked out.
3) If its scary.
You will probably go see a doctor if you de-
velop symptoms and dont know why theyre
there. If you have a pain in your left arm
and you know that its from getting hit by a
softball yesterday, youre less likely to go to
the doctor than if you didnt know why the
pain is there, Hamilton says.
4) If its sanctioned.
When friends and family suggest you go to
the doctor, you tend to listen.
Whether youre a hypochondriac
or would rather suffer in pain
than go to the doctor, there are
certain factors that make you
pay the doc a visit.

The ABDOMINAL
Is your ab work-out helping or
hurting your body?
DILEMMA
We all dream about having fat, rock-hard abs.
It used to be that reaching this goal meant hitting
the foor and counting of crunches. But while
crunching our way to six-pack status, have we
been self-inducing back pain and damaging our
spines?
Amber Long, assistant director of KU
Recreation Services, says when people tend to
focus solely on their mirror muscles the
ones important in appearance they develop
an imbalance in strength throughout their core.
Tis imbalance pulls our bodies out of alignment
as our front half is overpowering the back half
in strength and muscle mass. Long says she sees
this problem in a lot of in older clients she trains,
and people need to start correcting now in order
to develop balanced training. Te imbalance is
also exaggerated due to typical posture, which
favors the front of our core and strains the back,
throughout day-to-day life.
We spend the majority of our day in a
slumped position, Long says. We sit slumped.
We slump when were driving, studying, eating.
Were in this fexed position all day.
Sara Wilson, associate professor in mechanical
engineering, says there is a lot of debate in the
scientifc community right now as to what is the
best way to train the stability of the core muscles.
Te concern with abdominal crunching, she says,
is the jerky, fast and poorly controlled motions
performed. Some researchers have suggested
that because of this, crunching may not be an
efective way to strengthen abdominal muscles
without hurting the spine, though nothing has
been proven yet. But scientists have identifed
potential issues causing lower back pain, one
of which is excessive force on the tissues of the
spine.
Te purpose of abdominal and core muscle
exercises is to improve stabilization of the spine
as a structure, Wilson says. Tough crunching
strengthens a particular muscle set, Wilson says
we need to be cautious that the exercises we do
dont excessively load or destabilize the spine in
the process.
Tese possible negative efects stem from
people confusing core strengthening with ab
strengthening. Long says that a lot of people
think about their core as just their abs when
really it includes their entire trunk. Te back,
side, and obliques of our trunks are equally as
important muscle groups to train. If youre
doing said amount of core, Long says, you
need to make sure youre working the other areas
equally. Having balance in core training is key.
To avoid damaging afects of poor crunches
its important to pay attention to how our bodies
react to exercises. Patty Quinlan, registered nurse
and supervisor of nursing at Student Health
Services, says our bodies will warn us of poor
exercises by giving us a sore, bruising feeling in
our muscles. Quinlan says you never want to do
an exercise program that leaves you stifened up
the next day because this is a warning sign youre
overdoing it. Te goal of exercise is to build
stamina and strength gradually, slowly building
to a goal.
Sandra Bowman, supervisor of the physical
therapy department, says another way to avoid
injury to the back or spine is to always practice
correct form when performing an abdominal
crunch. Bowman says a common mistake people
make is allowing their belly to push out while
crunching. Stomach muscles need to be sucked
in, tucking the belly in and up under the ribs,
throughout the entire exercise.
When placing your hands behind your head,
Bowman says to be sure to only have them
there to support the weight of your head. Often
when hands are in this placement, people pull
themselves forward from the neck, causing a
large strain in the muscles. To avoid doing this,
Long suggests staring at the ceiling throughout
the entire crunch, or making a fst with your
hand and placing it in between your chin and
chest. If you still feel yourself pulling, try having
your arms outstretched so your hands cup over
the knees at the peak of the crunch. Bowman
says this technique also gives you an idea of how
high your crunch should go.
Although the crunching exercise has been
questioned, it is still better than doing sit-ups
to train the muscles, Long says. She says sit-ups
put a large load on the spinal disks, and the hip
fexors typically end up taking over. Also, most
people cant do a full sit-up correctly, making
them far less efective than a proper crunch.
Long says strengthening our abdominal
muscles is important in our exercise routines
so long as we dont neglect the other muscles in
our core. Practicing exercise programs such as
pilates can help us balance our core workouts
because they focus on stabilizing the entire core.
Te Ambler Student Recreation Center will
also be ofering a complete core training class in
October to educate people on strengthening all
of the abdominal muscle groups.

You could be crunching more than just your abs. Doing traditional crunches and focusing only on the so-called mir-
ror muscles can create an imbalance of core strength and negatively affect posture.

FLEXATION
Spinal fexion training includes
any sort of crunching exercises
which work the rectus abdominus
EXTENSION
muscles in the front, giving us the
six-pack stomach.
A good spinal extension exercise
is to lie fat on your stomach and
lift up into a superman position
holding that position and then
relaxing and repeating.
ROTATION
Seated medicine ball twists work
well for spinal rotation exercises.
Also effective is simply rotating
with the medicine ball while
standing up.
STABILIZATION
Spinal stabilization exercises
include any sort of plank exercise
to work the transverse abdominus
muscles.
Amber Long of KU Recreation
Services says that for good spine
health, you should train your abs in
these four ways every time you hit
the gym:

In the quest for better sex a lot of us will ex-
periment with diferent sexual positions, trying
to fnd the right one. We buy a position of the
day book or a Kama Sutra book in which we
tackle the hidden monkey or the praying
dragon.
But in this weeks article I will argue that
in heterosexual relationships, the standard
woman-on-top position still ofers both sexes
the greatest opportunity for increased pleasure.
Dont get me wrong, I think that experimenting
with positions is a great thing. Experimentation
can add a major spark to a sexual relationship.
But the standard woman-on-top position allows
both sexes to efectively stimulate their erog-
enous zones. Tis position involves the woman
facing the man sometimes sitting upright on
the man as he is lying down on his back.
It works for the woman because:
1) Te woman can control the speed and the
depth of penetration, which a lot of women
like. Te woman gets the feeling of being in
control and many guys like when the woman
takes charge.
2) Te woman is still in a position where the
// MIKE ANDERSON
man can stimulate her clitoris with his hand or a
sex toy. Tis is important because only about 50
to 60 percent of women can orgasm from vaginal
stimulation alone.
3) From this position the woman can still lie
on top of the man and be as close as she chooses
if she wants to get more intimate.
It works for the man because:
1) Te man isnt fexing or contracting many
muscles in this position, so he can last longer.
For a man, the more tense his muscles are the less
likely he will be able to control when he ejacu-
lates. Besides the relaxation of the muscles, it is
much easier to breathe deeply and slowly from
this position. Deeper breaths also help him relax
and last longer.
2) Te man gets a great full frontal view of the
woman, which is very erotic. It also allows the
man to stimulate her clitoris and breasts/nipples
with a fair amount of ease.
3) Te man is always ready to move to a sitting
position where both partners are sitting. Tough
this might not allow some men to get the right
amount of penetration they desire, it is still a po-
sition that produces great sensations. Te abil-
Relationship researcher Mike Anderson lays out his plan to tackle the
sticky world of relationship advice, one weekly Jayplay column at a time
ity to sit up and lie down quickly could be very
important to exploring diferent sensations with
ease.
Tough we all get anxious and eager to explore
the realm of possibilities when it comes to sexual
positions, it is often the simplest positions that
have the potential for the greatest pleasure.
According to popular magazines such as Cos-
mopolitan and Mens Health, the woman-on-top
position is the favorite position for the majority
of women and is in the top three for guys. When

catch of the week // GARRETT KELLY
our weekly peek at a fsh in the KU sea.
When looking for that special someone he
says he wants an intelligent person and someone
who will make fun of me.
Five to 10 years from now he pictures himself
at an ad agency while performing improv and
standup comedy on the weekends. His defnitive
trait is being able to make fun of himself.
Sitting at his desk chair, Kelly hunches forward
casually, resting his elbows on his knees. His smile
is soft and genuine as he ponders. Straightening
back up, he imagines his perfect date.
It would have to involve ice cream, he
says, breaking out into a wide grin. He goes on
to describe a date with stargazing and a lot of
outside stuf. Kelly says 90 percent of his date
must include laughter.
I ask him to describe himself in three words.
Momentarily paralyzed by this assignment, he
excitedly shot out three words: wobbly, lucky
and moose. Moose, the animal, he adds with
another 100-watt smile.

// JAKE LERMAN Teres one question you can expect to hear out
of any frst-timer at Te Jazzhaus: Why arent
they playing any jazz?"
Despite its namesake, the often-overlooked
genre is scarcely heard at this long-established
downtown venue.
In fact, the closest thing youll get to jazz here
are the silhouetted cut-outs of horn-playing mu-
sicians that are forever frozen in the venues win-
dowpanes. Tere was a time though when sounds

Lawrence is known to have one of the best music scenes in the Midwest.
It's hosted countless big name acts and produced several nationally
successful bands. What people forget is that none of this is possible
without the venues that give these bands a place to play. The Jazzhaus,
The Replay Lounge, The Jackpot Music Hall and The Bottleneck have
all shown to be fundamental players in our town's musical community.
Thats not to say the venues omitted from this article arent important.
But the interplay between these four have helped shape Lawrences
music scene for decades. Here's some more information about their
history to help you get to know your local venues.

of bebop, cool and hot jazz alike could be heard
bellowing down the steep creaking stairs of Te
Jazzhaus. Before Rick McNealy and Michael
Donovan bought it in 1982, the venue was called
Paul Greys Jazzhaus and catered specifcally to
jazz music. Strangely enough, up until 1978
when Paul Grey stepped in, the location housed
a laundromat.
But if you thought the idea of a laundromat
existing up such a steep set of stairs is bizarre, just
wait. Over the years employees have had repeated
encounters with Te Jazzhaus Ghost, who's
said to emerge when the bar is empty and only
a few employees remain. She always appears in
a nightgown near the back of the bar, and has
been known to open and slam the bathroom
doors. Night manager Brett Pitner says when he
frst caught a glimpse of her he was out the door
within seconds. Tere have also been many oc-
currences of strange blurs appearing in bar-goers'
pictures when taken near the bathrooms.

longstanding Lawrence venues went under in the

previous inhabitant Coco Loco went out of
business. His hope was to revive a tradition of
a Lawrence venue that plays original live music
seven nights a week, but Carrol also had some-
thing bigger in mind. From the beginning he set
out with the intention of helping local bands
make $1,000 in a night. Tis isnt something that
can happen at Te Replay with their standard
of $2 to $3 cover charges. However, with Te
Jackpot, Carrol invested in a more sophisticated
sound system allowing for bigger acts and bigger
covers. Te extra money helps local bands earn
enough cash to go out on tour, thus helping the
local music scene gain notoriety.
Oddly, Te Jazzhaus isnt the only venue on
mid-1980s. Te Crossing and Te Outhouse,
which were standard spots for local bands, both
went out of business, leaving a massive void in
the Lawrence music scene. Te Replay was in
fact never meant to be a music venue at all, its
roots lie in low-key dining. Originally opened as
an arcade and burger joint, Te Replay evolved
when the opportunity to fll the gap left by the
venue closings emerged.
Owner Nick Carrol jumped at the opportu-
nity and today all thats left of the old Replay
are the few archaic pinball machines, dusty rem-
nants of a bygone era. Since the changeover, Te
Replay has served a crucial role in the Lawrence
music scene. Its smaller stage and basic sound
equipment make it a perfect place for start-up-
bands to get their feet wet. As the bands con-
tinue to play and build their fanbases, they move
on to some of the bigger venues in town. Tis
makes Te Replay the place to hear the newest of
Lawrences up-and-coming musicians.
Nick Carrol, the same man who owns Te Re-
play, owns the Te Jackpot Music Hall.
Carrol started Te Jackpot after the building's
Mass. Street that has ghost stories to tell. Car-
rol remembers going into the venue alone one
morning and hearing a woman singing. Assum-
ing it was coming from outside, he ignored it.
But when he heard footsteps on the foor right
behind him, he thought twice. He turned to see
no one, but moments later he heard the upright
piano at the far end of the bar being played and
he ran out.
Tese strange occurrences have done little to
deter people fromfrequenting Te Jackpot, as its
typical to see hoards of patrons spilling out of the
doors onto their new street-side patio.

Open up to drink it all down: The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., got its start after a bar called Cockburns
failed to survive after the drinking age increased to 21.
THE BOTTLENECK 737 New Hampshire St.

Brett Mosiman and Mona Tipton started a
legacy.
Mosiman and Tipton were both recent gradu-
ates with passions for music. At the time the na-
tional drinking age had recently been bumped
up to 21 and many of the bars that attracted the
younger crowds were being forced out of busi-
ness. One of those bars was Cockburns, a for-
mer fraternity bar, Mosiman says. When they
bought it and made it into a live music club, they
changed the name to Te Bottleneck after the
glass slides some musicians would use on their
guitars.
At the time Lawrence had lost a lot of its mu-
sic venues and Te Bottleneck was a key player
over the next fve years in reviving the music
scene. Over time it gained a reputation as the
place to play in the Midwest and made Lawrence
a critical stopping point for touring bands. From
day one, the venues had the philosophy of play-
ing quality music of all stripes and still hosts a
diverse calendar.

Originally hitting the screen in the 1950s,
three-dimensional flms were revolutionary
and the technology was expected to be the new
standard in flmmaking. It was new, diferent
and drawing huge audiences, but eventually the
enthusiasm wore of. Te technology was reused
in the 1970s and 1980s sporadically for special
occasions but, again, didnt take of. But now,
2009 has seen a great increase in the creation of
3-D flms in an efort to revive the flm industry.
From re-releasing old animated classics to new
animated movies to live action and adventure
flms, every month in the year of 2009 has seen at
least one 3-D movie released.
Even director James Cameron, writer and
director of Titanic and Terminator, has such
confdence in the staying power of the quirky
medium he says he will make every movie from
now on in 3-D format. Camerons flm Avatar
is set for 3-D release in December. Chuck Berg,
professor of flm and media studies, thinks
Cameron and others may have too much faith in
the industry.
If history serves as a guide, the 1950s movie
Big trend on the big screen: This winters flm season will be dominated by 3-D movies, a format thats making a huge comeback. But as the 3-D
wave begins to encompass re-issues of old flms and 3-D at home, will the market become over-saturated?

industry had a lot of competition from TV and
was forced to come up with something spectacular
to compete, much like the situation today, Berg
says.
Tough today its not only television competing
with the flm industry, its the Internet, video
games and hand held devices like cell phones
and iPods not to mention the poor economy
that serve to threaten the once-mighty flm
industry.
Immediately it looks like 3-D is providing an
experience that cant be duplicated in the home
with the IMAX screens and surround sound,
Berg says.
But 3-D may not be a faultless savior for flm.
Berg fears the industry will begin to disregard
the quality of a movies story to capitalize on
the 3-D experience, leaving plot and character
development on the backburner to focus on
impressive efects.
Micki Hadley, Shawnee junior, saw Up in 3-D
this year to see the special efects.
Tere was cool stuf in it and the colors were
awesome and balloons came out at you, she says.
Hadley says her enjoyment of Up left her excited
to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, out
Sept. 18 in 3-D.
It looks so good, Hadley says.
Serene Hakim, Overland Park junior, went to
the theaters to see Coraline in 3-D this year.
I thought the movie would be diferent. Its
not one of the movies where you go on crazy
adventures and I wanted to see what a regular
movie was like in 3-D, Hakim says.
She says she enjoyed the movie itself but felt
the 3-D was unnecessary and her motion sickness
got the best of her.
It was fun when things jumped out at you but
I hated wearing the glasses the whole time and
feeling like I was moving with the movie, she
says. I was stressed out more than anything.
As long as you have the glasses and the movie
formatted in 3-D, you can watch one for yourself
on your own TV or computer. Blockbuster
currently has diferent titles from this year
available including Coraline, My Bloody Valentine
and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Tere is

Customers must purchase their own 3-D

Blockbuster store manager Erika Schmidt says.
But you can also keep the glasses for future
rentals.
People are very interested in the 3-D movies.
Coraline has been the most popular, following
the Hannah Montana DVD a few months back,
Schmidt says.
With this year being flled with three-
dimensional movie experiences its hard to see
exactly if and when history may take its course
and store away the 3-D flm for another half a
century. Tough no one can be sure, Berg is still
skeptical whether or not other genres past action
and adventure or animation could hold up on the
three-dimensional screen.
Really, the staying power depends on
whether or not people want to see Meg Ryan
and Tom Hanks reprise their roles in Sleepless in
Seattle in 3-D, Berg says. Jp

balance between the two ends of the hierarchy.
Hoppenstedt says that when he studied abroad
in Costa Rica last semester he noticed napping was
quite common because of the weather. He says
the climate is frequently wet with torrential rain,
and that during the day his host family would be
in bed with all the lights of, napping. During
storms its common to fnd the entire population
of Costa Rica sprawled on the horizontal surface
of their choice.
Hoppenstedt says that although some
Americans negatively associate napping with
laziness, in Costa Rica time moves slower and
people think rest is important. He says that big
cities in the U.S. tend to have a never-ending
schedule, and that people may choose not to nap
in order to avoid being stereotyped as lethargic.
Saha says that although napping can be seen
as lazy, she uses the time to rejuvenate. Im
doing it for me, so I can be better at everything
throughout the day.

Monica Saha once fell asleep at McDonald's.
Shes also snoozed beside her friends pool, on the
campus express bus and under a table at Anschutz
Library. Saha, Overland Park sophomore, is just
one of many college students who squeeze in a
much-needed nap whenever and wherever they
can. According to a Pew Research Center Social
and Demographic Trends survey 33 percent of
adults aged 18 to 29 nap on a daily basis in the
United States.
A nap can lessen fatigue, but only if it is done
correctly. A study published in the February
1 issue of SLEEP, the journal of Associated
Professional Sleep Societies, found that the best
nap consisted of non-REM sleep, which includes
rapid eye movement and dreaming. Napping
should be limited to 30 minutes. Sleeping more
may lead to sleep inertia, or grogginess.
With a continuous infux of class assignments,
social obligations and extracurricular activities,
college students dont always get a healthy
amount of sleep, says Patty Quinlan, supervisor of
nursing at Student Health Services. Students may
choose to sleep later in the day in order to curb
their fatigue, but Quinlan says they should do it
for no more than 20 or 30 minutes. Tis short
duration of rest is often called a power nap, but
you dont have to fall asleep to beneft, Quinlan
says. She says that simply slowing your heart rate
and emptying your thoughts can improve mood,
awareness and memory.
For Zachary Hoppenstedt, Manhattan senior,
sleep is a serious subject matter. When I put my
head down to rest, I dont play, he says. After
a long day of work and class, Hoppenstedt says
that he lays his responsibilities aside and replaces
them with a comfortable body pillow. Every bit
of activity for the day is gone as soon as Im in a
comatose state.
Hoppenstedt said that aside from general
fatigue, his naps are commonly taken during
dreary and dark weather. Quinlan says that these
conditions can frequently drive people inside,
calling it the blah syndrome. Quinlan also says
that factors contributing to an increase in napping
include a low mood, such as depression, a chronic
illness that requires frequent rest and a decrease in
amount of exercise.

eight hours of sleep a night can beneft from
napping. If youre feeling drowsy, almost every

batteries. Saha says that anywhere with a sofa is
pretty socially acceptable. But dont let that limit
you. Check out the cozy caf atmosphere in the
Kansas Union, the solitary confnement of the
stacks in Watson Library or even the upper deck
of an auditorium flled with 1,000 students in
Budig 120.
Along with great places to nap, there are certain
places to avoid. Most notably, Saha says to steer
clear of Wescoe Beach, full of chattering students
walking rapidly across chalked advertisements.
Te hustle and bustle does not aid in relaxation,
Saha says. Te one time I fell asleep there I woke
up to a girl talking to me, she says. Not only
was I the wrong person, but she thought I was
awake the whole time.
SLEEP AROUND THE WORLD
According to Gerrard Mackenzie, author
of the Special Sleep Report, many variations of a
power nap exist in other countries. In his article,
Whats in a Name? Power Nap in Diferent
Cultures, he mentions that siestas, the tradition
of napping after a large lunch, are quite popular
in Spain and Latin America. However, according
to the article the siesta is dying out as countries
become Americanized, adopting stricter work
schedules and lunch breaks.
Te article also discusses the Japanese practice
of "inemuri," which is a nap taken at work
during the day. Inemuri is supposed to show an
employees dedication to the job by sacrifcing
sleep at night. Te practice is usually reserved for
COMPANY: Teres only one thing better than napping, and thats fnding
someone to do it with. A cuddle buddy can increase relaxation and soothe worries.
Just be sure to share the same views on the aforementioned guidelines.
NAPPING ESSENTIALS
COMFORT: Tis is key when choosing to nap. If youre not
comfortable youre not going to get good rest. Patty Quinlan,
supervisor at Student Health Services, says beds or reclining chairs are
usually best, but fnding a shady spot beneath a tree or sprawling on
top of an empty desk can be a good substitute.
CLIMATE: Some people like it hot; others like it cold.
Whichever varying degree of temperature allows you to sleep
best should be considered when napping.

living vicariously through others is ok with us.
Te name might throw you of a little bit,
but the movie Good Dick isnt quite what it
seems to be.
Te flm, about a video store clerk and the
lonely girl who begins a relationship with him,
played in the 2008 Sundance Film Festival to
critical acclaim, and has since been touring
the independent flm circuit.
Student Union Activities is hosting a
screening of the flm complete with a question
and answer session with the flms director,
Marianna Palka, and Jason Ritter, the star of
the flm.
Andrew Fillmore, Belle Plaine sophomore,
says the screening gives the audience the
unique experience of watching a movie and
then asking the director their questions about
it. Fillmore is the flms and media coordinator
for SUA, and was in charge of planning the
event. He says its also a great opportunity for
those who are interested in a career in flm.
Fillmore says he chose the movie because it
covered a lot of interesting topics that are
relevant for a college audience. And dont
worry; he says the flm isnt nearly as raunchy
as the title makes it out to be.
Blink and you just might miss her. And when
you do spot her in that tiny booth, you just
might wonder what it is shes doing there. No,
shes not stuck in a glass case of emotion; shes
there to answer your questions for KU Info.

// ANDREA OLSEN
SUA will screen Good Dick at 7 p.m. Tuesday
in Woodruf Auditorium, in the Kansas Union.
Te event is free for KU students and $3 for non-
students.
Lauren Lacey, Troy, Mo., sophomore, has
worked at KU info since spring. Her job
is to answer questions from students and
the general public about the University, but
sometimes she gets strange inquiries.
I once had a guy call up saying he was a
felon and ask me if he could still get a passport
to leave the country, Lacey says. And as she
found, it turns out you can.
On the average day Lacey sits in the small
KU Info booth on Jayhawk Boulevard (in
front of Staufer-Flint Hall) with a phone and
a computer, answering questions by phone,
text and e-mail, as well as talking to walk-
ups. She says that most questions have to
do with getting directions, being transferred
to someones ofce or fnding things on the
Universitys website.
From her secluded space, Lacey can people
watch as students walk by, and she says
sometimes it feels like being an animal in a
box. But shes always ready and willing to
answer questions. Just dont try asking her out
on a date, she says.

Following a semester abroad in Australia, Jake Lerman spent fve weeks hitchhiking around New Zealand with a friend and learned that some people are still willing to
talk to strangers.

Nights falling and Im on the other side of the
world. Ive been hitchhiking along the North Is-
land of New Zealand for the past two weeks after
a semester studying abroad in Australia.
My traveling companion is a childhood friend
and weve been sleeping on the side of the road
in a tent for the bulk of our travels. All we have
are two guitars and the packs on our backs. Clean
clothes are in short supply and by this point weve
hiked two mountains and spent hours sweating
on the sides of highways.
Needless to say it wasnt the most hygienic of
times. Our last ride left us in between towns and
we need a place to set up camp before sunset.
Weve been hitching down the coast of the Coro-
mandel Peninsula and all the ground along the
road is far too soft to pitch a tent on. Te other
side of the road has acres of grassy pasture all
of which is private property.
Te sun is sinking low and setting up our tent
in the dark would be nearly impossible.
I bet we could sneak onto a corner of that cow
paddock and be gone in the morning before any-
one even knows we were here, I think to myself.
Im bone-weary and right now any bed sounds
like a good bed, so we creep past the gate and
fnd a secluded corner of the feld to set up camp.
Naturally, as soon as the tents out of the bag, a
blue SUV comes pulling up the drive. I guess we
werent as secluded as we thought.
Te car begins to drive of the road straight to-
ward us. A man steps out of the car and asks us
what we think were doing. Some quick thinking
helps this slip of my tongue: Oh well uh
we were about to go up to the house and ask
the owner if we could camp down here
I fgure Im toast. I wonder how much bail for
trespassing in New Zealand.
Blue SUV Man tells us to wait right there. Te
next ten minutes pass by like molasses. We con-
sider running but soon realize we have nowhere
else to go, and plus its insanely hard to run quick-
ly with a backpack on. Before we can act, the blue
SUV comes reeling down the path.
When it pulls up to the shambles of our tent, a
woman exits the passenger side.
Tis is my mother, the man says, She owns
this land.
Te plot thickens and questions arise. Are
these people going to try and introduce us into
some weird Kiwi family cult? Am I going to be at
the bottom of a well rubbing lotion on my skin
by sundown?
But against all odds the woman walks over,
hugs us and says, Oh please! You must come and
camp on the front lawn up by the house. And
let me make you some dinner! You must want a
shower. Come, Ill get you some towels!
Im intrigued, but suddenly acutely aware of
the fact that my friend and I are both flthy, the
defnition of scrufy and by law, trespassers. But
now this lady wants to make us sandwiches. If
this happened in the states we would be in the
back of a police car by now.
So against everything my mother taught me,
and with the fading memories of horror movies
drifting from my head, we reluctantly get into the
blue SUV and drive up to the house. Just as she
said, we arrive to fnd a lawn with a beautiful view
of the sea to pitch our tent on. Within minutes
she lays out towels and has dinner ready for us.
How a night of camping restored
my faith in humanity.
Any lingering fears subside when she asks if we
like sugar in our tea.
Maybe its because New Zealanders have an
innocence thats seldom seen outside of old tele-
vision shows. Or maybe it was because we were
just thrilled she wasnt buttering us up for the
slaughter, but we went to bed that night with a
newfound respect for the goodness that can be
found in people.
A family welcomed two mangy-looking kids
into their home for no reason other than simple
kindness. Tey looked past the assumptions we
all tend to make upon a frst look. When they
drove up to our tent, instead of seeing two delin-
quents ripe for the jailhouse they saw us for what
we really were, just another pair of wandering
kids looking for a place to rest our heads.
Up until that night Id always assumed it was
just a product of our times, trust just wasnt some-
thing people gave out; you had to earn it. But
one familys unwarranted and unwavering assur-
ance that we werent mass murderers was enough
to turn my mind. We walked back to the road
that next morning with all our Western cynicisms
about humanity fushed from our bones.
Tat, and the packed lunches the property
owner had made for us.
