Dear FFA community, my boyfriend
that goes to KSU has been hacking
my FB and writing on FFA, Im deeply
sorry for any pain this may have
caused.
I hate the idea that you fnd what
you are looking for when you stop
looking.
Im surprised a KSU student knew
how to work a computater gizmo
(as they would say).
Tell ya what, if we have a great night
together Ill make breakfast for you in
the morning.
Ive decided that Im going to marry
Amy Adams and have her babies! If
only I could meet her and if only she
wasnt married already...
I wonder how many of my professors
smoked weed in college. Just
curious.
I dont understand why girls get
tattoos on their feet. It used to just
be the hipster thing to do, but now
its actually popular.
I just cant sex you because I dont
think you can beat my one-night
stand over spring break, sorry!
Cant fnd my pizza blasted
Goldfsh... Naismith must be
haunted!
Dear Facebook ads, I am not
Mormon, and I do not want to drive
a school bus. Where does it get its
information?!
Then explain to me why Im getting
an ad for me and my baby when I
have nothing baby related in my life.
Its like fortune teller Madame Ruby.
She is saying baby related things
are coming soon. For $50 I tell you
EVERYTHING you need to know.
Whats the same about K-State grads
and tornados? They both enjoy
trailer parks.
How can I tell if this bitch is cheating
on me?
If youre calling her a bitch and
youre supposedly dating her, shes
cheating on you.
To the girls wearing short shorts and
leggings: Other students and faculty
can see your butts sticking out.
Please dont ruin it for the male
population.
I used to be in the FFA all the time,
now I have a boyfriend and no
longer have clever cynical things to
say #bittersweet.
I listened to Let it Burn by Usher
after we lost Sunday. Im obviously
handling this very well.
The South Park St. sign is missing...
What a shame...
I am so glad I am graduating in May,
because I am tired of getting put in
group projects with sorority girls.
When she says she isnt THAT kind of
girl it means that she doesnt want
to be that kind of girl with YOU.
Sorry bud.
Awwww Missouri has banners for
every sweet 16 theyve been to,
how cute.

Heres to longer spring breaks and
refreshing Dr Peppers all around
I am a lover of the English lan-
guage. Aside from a brief fling
with Spanish in high school, I have
remained monogamous to English
for around 20 years. Ive used it to
write reports and poetry, and Ive
spoken all the most important sen-
tences of my life in it. I think all of my
thoughts in English, though I realized
I dont need to use any language at all
to convey my own ideas to myself.
As the lover of English that I am,
there was once a time in my life when
improper use of grammar and spell-
ing upset me. I would correct people
when they meant whom instead of
who, and I had strong opinions about
Oxford commas and the word octo-
pi.
I grew older though, and I real-
ized a couple things. Most people do
not pay attention to you when you
correct their English, and the only
reason I really cared so much was so I
could have another reason to feel like
I was better than everyone else.
Now I find myself growing irri-
tated when I hear others correcting
grammar and spelling. In particular, I
dread hearing people complain about
others replacing you and are with
u and r. The last time I heard this
complaint, though, I had an epiphany.
What if there was a way to stop these
complaints?
I have a very simple solution that
should solve all the problems people
have concerning these two words.
Why dont we just change the official
spellings of you and are to u and
r? Now I can imagine some will not
like this idea, but allow me to make
my argument.
English obviously doesnt have a
problem with one-letter words as the
words a and I already exist. There
is also a precedent among all lan-
guages for changing the spelling of
words.
You could argue u and r dont
look professional. Of course, wouldnt
the time and ink saved over time by
spelling words with two less letters
eventually add up and be in the best
interest for businesses?
You might also say it would be con-
fusing to change the spelling of words
when people are so used to them. I
didnt invent these one-letter spell-
ings myself. Many people are already
using them. It could be said thats
no reason to change a word. Many
people wrongly use the word monkey
when talking about apes like chim-
panzees. That probably doesnt mean
we should get rid of the word ape.
Thats why Im not arguing we should
update any words besides you and
are at this moment though.
Honestly, I dont think the English-
speaking world will accept my pro-
posal, but I also dont expect the
one-letter spellings of these words
will go away. There will be no resolu-
tion to this limbo in my lifetime, but
I at least can hope that some people
will read my argument and decide to
be a little less critical of their fellow
human beings.

COMMentarY
I went to London for spring break
this year, and though it was overall
a tremendously fun and rewarding
experience, there were a few things
about the trip that bothered me. For
example, not one single restaurant I
ate at, fast food or otherwise, had Dr
Pepper as a soft drink option. They
did, however, offer orange Fanta with-
out fail. Im not against embracing
cultural differences, but Fanta is the
least American beverage in the known
universe, and I just cant abide engag-
ing in such uncivilized behavior as
actually drinking it.
I think much of London would
agree with me, because near the end
of my trip there were massive protests
on Oxford Street and Trafalgar Square,
presumably by a coalition of Dr
Pepperians and anti-Fantites who did
not wanta the tyranny of Fanta in their
otherwise majestic city.
Limited soda selection aside, the
real problem with my trip was that
it had to end. Indeed, many students
returned from their spring break trav-
els this week, exhausted and not par-
ticularly excited to return to the harsh
reality of classes, tests and papers. Its
entirely unreasonable to expect anyone
to be able to jump right back into the
rigorous routine of academia after an
entire week away from it all. This is
why I believe we need a new structure
for spring break, one that lets us ease
back into our schedules.
Clich though it may be, I need a
vacation from this vacation is a senti-
ment shared by many, yet followed
through by few. Under my new system,
spring break would be followed by
spring break break, a week-long wind-
down period during which students
can relax by staying at home or going
on a leisurely trip, perhaps to a place
that prefers the 23 wonderful flavors of
Dr Pepper to the one crappy flavor of
orange Fanta.
Of course, an entire week of nap-
ping and lounging and sipping DP
would put students in a bind of a dif-
ferent sort: They would be too rested,
and as a result unwilling to wear
themselves out with a return to a full-
speed slate of coursework. Thats why
spring break break would be followed
by a pre-return dry run a week dur-
ing which students go to classes at
their scheduled times, but with casual
conversation and free food in the place
of actual lecture and discussion. This
would get students back into the habit
of going to class without placing the
unseemly burden of actual work on
their newly stress-free shoulders.
When actual work resumes the
next week, it may not be quite up to
par with the work students produced
earlier in the semester, when they were
in something of a rhythm. To allow
students the time to get their scholas-
tic grooves back, the month after the
pre-return dry run would be a heavily
curved probationary period, during
which all tests and assignments will
earn an A grade regardless of actual
quality. This would help compensate
for the academic capabilities lost or
damaged during the previous three
work-free weeks.
At this point, finals week is all that
would remain. Thanks to the tremen-
dous grade improvements experienced
by all during the probationary period,
very few people would need to take
their finals to keep an A, rendering
this last week totally optional as it
should be.
I urge Student Senate to turn this
plan into policy at the soonest possible
opportunity. Also, screw this Coke
campus stuff; I want some Dr Pepper
in the Hawk Shop!

What if you could take a pill that
made you better, smarter and richer?
This is the basis of the new movie
Limitless starring Bradley Cooper,
Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro.
Basically, Coopers character, Eddie
Morra, is a deadbeat writer who was
recently dumped by his girlfriend and
is about to lose his apartment. He dis-
covers NZT-48, a drug that supposedly
accesses 100 percent of the brain.
The movie claims we can only access
20 percent of our brain. One pill
allows him to finish writing his book,
learn Italian and become rich through
investment in four days. He becomes
a wealthy businessman when he starts
experiencing adverse side effects of the
drug: black outs, memory lapses and
lack of strength.
So would you take this pill if you
were guaranteed to see vast improve-
ment? Regardless, NZT-48 does not
exist in real life. What about other
guaranteed pills that are FDA approved?
That makes it better, right? Adderall and
other similar medications prescribed for
ADD are the closest we have to magic
pills in the sense that it helps most users
focus and get motivated.
The issue is people that are not diag-
nosed with ADD abuse this drug. I
admit I took it once, ironically, to study
for a neurobiology test. I was in the
zone within 20 minutes. Reading about
synaptic plasticity seemed enjoyable.
I was up for 13 hours straight read-
ing powerpoints and drinking an
ungodly amount of water. Adderall is a
diuretic and will dehydrate you.
I did well on the test, but coming
off this drug was horrible. My heart
seemed like it was beating twice as fast.
My appetite was suppressed for half a
day so my stomach was hurting. I was
so tired but couldnt fall asleep. I sat on
my bed miserable, with my right eye
twitching.
I decided then I would never take it
again. The side effects were not worth it.
The effects of over-consuming medi-
cation are dangerous. In Limitless,
Morra is urged to stop taking the pill
when he finds out others who abused it
have died or were hospitalized.
When your body becomes addicted
to a substance like NZT-48, your body
begins to rely on it. A 2008 Harvard
study showed addictive drugs stimulate
a reward circuit in the brain.
Rewarding experiences like getting
an A on a test or making millions in a
four-day period triggers the release of
dopamine. This signals the brain to do
it again. Therefore, it is difficult to quit
right away when drug-induced change
alters memories linking the drug as
a pleasurable incentive. Morra has to
taper off the drug by reducing the dos-
age little by little.
It is important to note how this movie
belittles actual brain power. In the mid-
dle of the 20th century, scientists had
limited knowledge on how the brain
functioned. This somehow translated to
to public and mass media now that only
use 20 percent of our brain. New tech-
nologies like MRIs or PET scans show
this to be incorrect. That is like saying
we only use 20 percent of our muscles
when muscular contraction happens all
that time. If these statistics were true,
you would be dead.
The world is not ready for a pill as
extreme as NZT-48 to be released for
the public. It would be expensive to buy
and regulate in the pharmaceutical mar-
ket. Many scientists would try to make a
generic for a fraction of the cost.
The world would become an instant
Darwinian society. Anyone who had
access to the pill would be infinitely
times better than their peers competing
for the same job or entrance to a profes-
sional school. Others without the funds
for this drug will become jealous and
mentally hungry.
When people are desperate, they do
not think rationally. They may even
kill others to get the drug. Morra is so
desperate he drinks the blood of some-
one who just injected NZT-48 in his
bloodstream in hopes to get the high he
needs.
If one is on this pill long enough, the
line between the actual person and the
drug becomes thin. Am I talking to my
friend or am I talking to the effects of
the drug on my friend?
It does not take a pill to succeed,
just inner motivation. And when you
find that inner motivation, you really
become limitless.

children, including 58,000 girls.
Mortenson said that educating
girls at least to a ffh grade level
was efective in lowering infant
mortality, slowing population
growth, and improving quality of
life.
Mortenson began his work afer
a failed attempt to climb Pakistans
K2, the second highest mountain
in the world. While recovering
from his climb in a village called
Korphe, he found a group of
children writing in the dirt with
sticks and promised to build them
a school. Working together with
the community, Mortenson saw
the school completed three years
later. It stood in the same place
where those children had been
sitting.
Te lecture included the short
flm, Stones into Schools, which
focuses on Mortensons work in
Afghanistan and shares its name
with his latest book. Te flm
shows Afghani
children study-
ing in one-room
schools made
from steel truck
containers and
abandoned So-
viet armored
personnel carri-
ers, and follows
Mortenson and
his partners as
they build a school in a remote vil-
lage. It tells the story of Gul Mar-
jan, 14, whose hopes of attending
the new school
were dashed
when he was
killed in 2006
by one of the
many land
mines lef in
the area from
the war with
the Soviet
Union in the
1980s.
Mortenson met with members
of Student Senate and representa-
tives of student groups two hours
before the lecture for an informal
discussion of community activism
and volunteer eforts. Preferring
to arrange the group in a circle
and without shoes in the Paki-
stani tradition Mortenson of-
fered advice and encouragement
to the organizers. He stressed the
importance of beginning with
simple eforts with the goal of cre-
ating sustainable programs and
told the students to take care of
themselves so as not to become
burned out as other idealistic
people whom he had known.
Dont become bitter and cyni-
cal, please, he said.
Megan Watson, an event or-
ganizer for the Center for Com-
munity Outreach, said the group
hoped Mortensons talk would in-
spire students not only to volun-
teer in their communities, but to
look at new and unconventional
ways to help those in need.

BY SARA SNEATH

On a Friday evening in February
1972, 30 women locked themselves
in the University East Asian Studies
building. They called themselves
the February Sisters. For 13 hours,
the women occupied the building,
demanding attention be brought to
the inequality of women on cam-
pus.
Many students now benefit from
these demands, yet few know the
history behind them. Womens
History Month is almost over, but
for University gender equality activ-
ists, the history making has just
begun.
Robert Hughes, a graduate stu-
dent in the sociology department,
describes inequality as untapped
potential.
You never know who wouldve
developed the next cure for cancer
or solved a major engineering prob-
lem, but because they were never
given the opportunity well never
know, Hughes said.
Hughes does not consider himself
an activist.
My approach is generally to
demonstrate the empirical inequali-
ties that are there; what society loses
as a result of those inequalities; and
then leave the question of what to do
about it to a students own research,
he said.
However, not all those who do
consider themselves activists lock
themselves in buildings. Rather, they
may argue that education is the first
step.
Meredith Pavicic, a junior from
Leawood, is the president of the
Commission on the Status of Women
(CSW), a University student organi-
zation aimed at discussing and com-
bating gender discrimination. She
says the main focus of the CSW this
semester has been the changes going
on in the Kansas Legislature.
I think most people men and
women they have these rights,
and if they dont appreciate them
then they can be taken away. And
they are being taken away in the
Kansas Legislature right now,
Pavicic said.
In addition to its current engage-
ments, Pavicic said the CSW con-
tinues to hold annual events such as
The Vagina Monologues with the
intent to keep an open forum about
topics that some are too afraid to
talk or think about.
For Ruben Maldonado, a sopho-
more from Junction City, it was this
open forum that drew him into the
CSW. After hearing about the orga-
nization through an English course
and a friend who had attended a
meeting, Maldonado decided to
check out the group for himself.
[I] went to one meeting
and another and kept on going,
Maldonado said. Talking to the
other people in the meeting, they
had all taken womens studies class-
es. I have a busy schedule, and I cant
take those courses. To me, it became
like a free class.
For those who want more educa-
tion or to become actively involved
in a movement, many opportuni-
ties are available. The CSW meets
at 8 p.m. every Monday in the
Regionalist room of the Kansas
Union. From 7:30 to 9 p.m. this
Thursday, the CSW will hold a panel
discussion about reproductive rights
in Alderson Auditorium of the
Kansas Union. Included in the panel
will be two February Sisters mem-
bers. In addition, at 7:30 p.m. every
Thursday the Feminist Book Club
meets in the Ecumenical Christian
Ministries building.

With the score tied up 1-1
freshman infelder Ashley New-
man hit a single to load the bas-
es. Ingle also hit a single to bring
Maggie Hull home and give the
Jayhawks a 2-1 advantage. Afer
two outs, sophomore outfelder
Rosie Hull hit a single to drive
both Hile and Newman home
for the last Jayhawk tallies of the
night with a score 4-1.
In the bottom of the fourth
the Roos hit a double afer a pair
of singles to set the score at 4-2.
Te Jayhawk defense did not al-
low a runner to reach scoring
position for the remainder of the
contest.
Te team is going to use
the momentum that they gained
from their win against UMKC
to propel them forward in con-
ference play starting Saturday
against Nebraska.
It just felt good to get a
win again. It just felt so good to
believe in ourselves and Kansas
sofball and come out and get a
win, Rosie Hull said.
