A faint and quivering voice from downstairs
called my name: Kellllllciiiii? Again with a
bit more urgency and volume: KeLLLLCCCIII!
I knew this could mean only one thing there
was a mysterious creature in our house, and I
was being summoned to kill it.
As I neared the dining room, I saw my
frightened roommate, Anne, crouched outside
her doorway, where the most hideous thing
I have ever seen lurked. This wasnt your
average bug it was a sickening mix of giant
spider and cricket, with its hind legs higher
than its two-toned black and brown body.
Oh, and it jumped. No less than three feet in
the air. Armed with a bottle of home defense
killer bug spray, the third roommate, Kelly and
I began spraying the shit out of the sucker until
it died. Little did we know this creature had
superpowers, bounding away as we doused it
with rounds of bug spray.
Eventually, we coated him with enough toxins
that he froze in standing position. Im sure his
demonic soul lived on. After a quick googling
of mutant spider cricket from hell, we
discovered its scientifc term Camel Cricket.
The killing of the camel cricket(s) there
were more is just one of the many adventures
weve faced. The air conditioning broke for the
second time, and last Thursday we mourned
the loss of Gus Gus, the mouse we trapped.
But I just laugh at these inconveniences.
when else can I put off productivity for an
hour to kill a beastly insect in the TV room?
Besides, the pros of our house outweigh
the potentially hazardous cons: the wheels
wang burger is fve minutes away, climbing
hills to campus tones our calves, and there are
endless amounts of wine-drinking and people-
watching to be had on our porch at night.
whether its been the less-than-perfect
house of horrors or the white-washed
prison cell room of mcCollum freshman year,
each place Ive lived has given me a new
environment and community to interact with.
Be sure to check out Joshs story on page 13
for other types of community living.
The way I see it, theres no better way to
spend my last year at Ku than in an ancient
house on Tennessee street with so many of
my friends. Oh, I guess the girls are cool too.

A. Unless you have been doing your
controlled masturbation exercises for the
past four months, there is little you can do.
lets face it, only 2% of guys last as long as
they want to the frst time. Its just not easy
to do. My frst time went so fast I actually
traveled back in time. When I was
fnished neil Armstrong was walking on
the moon.
Ejaculatory control comes from
experience, and exercising your brain
and penis. Accept the fact that you are
not going to last as long as you want.
You can use an ejaculatory control
condom to dull the sensation and help
you last longer. I would also recommend
extending the foreplay.
Going slowly will certainly help, but it
is far from a miracle cure. You have to
know your body and work on controlling
your orgasm to understand how to use
your speed. But I would agree that slower
is better if you want to last longer.
the last thing Ill say is dont psyche
yourself out. If you think, Dont orgasm
early, dont orgasm early, you wont last
long. Instead, enjoy yourself and keep
your mind in the moment.

Avoidance was the name of the game
when Josh Barker frst set sights on
his now-girlfriend of 10 months, Kate
Moneymaker. The two met while waiting
in line for last years Late Night at the
Phog.
Barker, hamilton senior, was waiting
alone and asked Moneymaker, emporia
senior, to watch over his belongings while
he wandered the area. he eventually
overheard Moneymaker and her friend
talking about emporia, a town only 30
minutes away from his, and decided to talk
to her. The three chatted during the show
and Barker gave Moneymaker his number
afterward.
After a week or so of daily coffee
breaks the two made it offcial. Their
communication style has been a lot more
direct since. Id been in a long-term
relationship and I didnt want the bullshit,
Barker says. So we went into it as if wed
already been dating a year.
The two also say they have strong
personalities, but use it to their advantage.
Were stubborn, but well compromise
when its important to the other person,
Moneymaker says.
Another key to their success: We make
each other laugh, Barker says.

Mo. If its got a good lather, washing your
hands for longer than that seems a bit
excessive.
This isnt necessarily true. You carry
about as much bacteria on your body
as there are people on the Earth, says
Lester Mitscher, a professor of medicinal
chemisty. Rubbing your hands together
while theyre still wet is just redistributing
whats left.
A recent study published in the Journal
of Applied Microbiology found that
bacteria is transferred to other surfaces
more readily if hands are left damp.
Headed by Anna Snelling, a professor at
Bradford University, the study also found
that failing to dry thoroughly increases the
potential spread of bacterial infections.
Good hand hygiene should include
drying hands thoroughly and not just
washing, Snelling says. Using paper
towels or a hand dryer is the most hygienic
method, and doesnt require rubbing your
hands together.
ThaTs disgusTing // improper hand drying
> Dude...gross.
Think washing your hands is enough to
control the trillions of bacteria living on
them? Think again.
Krista Irick washes her hands for 20 to
30 seconds about 10 times a day. Like many
people, she thinks this is an adequate way
to control the rampancy of bacteria.
I touch my face a lot, so I try to make
sure my hands are always clean, says
Irick, a graduate student from Parkville,

Soak it up: While washing your hands decreases
the chance of sickness, its only efective when
they are throughly dried afterwards.
Plastic wrap isnt just for wrapping
up your leftovers. Judy Whitehill, human
sexuality professor at Garden City
Community College, recommends using
saran wrap as a dental dam for oral sex
on a female. She says plastic wrap is
made of polyurethane, which has been
used to make condoms.
A better alternative would be to cut
a new, non-lubricated male condom to
make a barrier, Whitehill says. To do
this, cut off the tip and slice it lengthwise
to make a rectangle of latex. This is
placed over the external female genitals,
Whitehill says. To protect your hands
from bodily fuids during foreplay, a latex
glove can be used.
Joshua Johnson, Kansas City senior,
says he knows how important it is to be
protected at all times. They showed us a
presentation at school about how people
can get STDs through foreplay, Johnson
says.

the dangers it presents, including the potential
for dehydration and overstretching.
Amber Long, ftness coordinator at the
Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center,
says whenever youre exercising in a high
heat environment, the main concern becomes
hydration and making sure you replenish the
fuids you lose. Although Long says it can be
benefcial to do yoga in a warmer environment
because it allows the muscles to relax, there
are potential dangers. Besides dehydration, a
main concern of hot yoga is overstretching.
Trisha Brabender, a physical therapist at
Lawrence Therapy Services, suffered a rotator
cuff, collarbone and wrist injury after practicing
Bikram Yoga, the practice similar to Hot Yoga.
She suggests students familiarize themselves
with traditional yoga frst to understand their
own body and avoid pushing too far in heated
environments.
Brabender says heat warms the muscle for
a deeper stretch, but depending on the person,
stretching beyond 20% of the resting length
can be damaging. She says heat can also elicit
competitiveness, which is neither the intention
nor healthy.
Its important for the student and the
instructor to respect pain as a signal from
your body that something isnt quite right,
Brabender says.
The increase of yoga-related injuries might
correlate with the proliferation of studios
nationwide, Brabender says. She urged
students to limit themselves to three or four
times a week, hydrate suffciently and not push
beyond their own edge.
Doctors are not the only ones questioning the
intensity of hot yoga. Kara Hudson, a graduate
student from Wichita, started practicing
traditional yoga at the University in January, but
has no interest in attempting Hot Yoga.

Are the benefits of perspirAtion worth the costs?
Te practice of Hot Yoga, commonly mistaken for
Bikram Yoga, emphasizes stretching and poses in
high temperatures. Tis can lead to muscle injury
and dehydration.

Can you run a marathon or lift your weight, but
not reach your toes? Youre not alone. Though it
requires patience and commitment, more than
14 million Americans suit up each week in little
more than swimwear to reach their edge in a
yoga studio heated to 95 to 105 degrees and
practice Hot Yoga.
As the Hot Yoga trend gains popularity, there
is an increase in students practicing the ftness
regimen. However, medical professionals
have expressed concern about potential
physiological damage. In 2007 more than 5,500
yoga-related injuries were treated nationwide,
according to The American Academy of
Orthopedic Surgeons.
The popular ftness fad is often confused with
Bikram Yoga, which requires instructors to use
specifed verbal cues to guide a distinct series
of 26 poses in intensely heated rooms. Hot Yoga
allows instructors to provide individual attention
to students performing traditional poses in the
same high-heat environment.
The elevated temperature enables increased
fexibility, which allows students to build
strength by holding diffcult poses for longer
periods of time. It also increases sweating,
allowing the body to release harmful toxins.
However, the heat raises concern because of

yoga because it didnt seem like a very good
workout, but it is, Hudson says. Hot Yoga just
sounds too intense.
Mary Horvatin, owner of Yoga Fix Studio
in Kansas City, Kan., says yoga, developed in
India, was designed to be practiced in heat as
a meditative discipline that promoted breath
control, health and relaxation. She says both
traditional and hot forms are helpful in promoting
ftness, and Hot Yoga has the added beneft of
detoxifying the body through sweat.
You need to hydrate and listen to your body,
she says. Breath work, pace and temperature
of the class can all have an infuence on a
participants level of heat exhaustion.
Horvatin says the American understanding
of yoga as exercise is partly responsible for its
association with injury because it disregards the
promotion of body and breath consciousness.
She says its important to work to your ability
and train to advance in your practice.
If youre someone who is Type A and youre
trying to compete with your neighbor or push
yourself too hard, its easy to hurt yourself
because youre not working to your edge, youre
working to a point of pain, Horvatin says.

Dinner discussion: Members of the Koinonia community live in the basement of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building and participate in com-
munal volunteer work, meals, and conversations ranging from religious matters to the Greek origin of the groups name.

August 15 was move-in day on Daisy Hill. A
mass of minivans and pick-up trucks driven by
parents spending their Sunday carrying boxes
and futons up dormitory stairwells, left students
at their new University home.
On the opposite corner of campus, across
from the Kansas Union and in the shadow of the
Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., another group
of new residents settled into the basement of
the 51-year-old Ecumenical Christian Ministries
building. The living room is well worn, but
charming. Natural light shines through onto
the rooms various houseplants. Atop a brick
freplace stand both a large cross and a hookah,
a reminder that both faith and youth are found
here.
So why forgo space and comfort to move
into an aging structure that lacks central air
conditioning? For Andrea Sitek, who calls the
ECM home, the goal is intentional community.
We have a lot of people coming from
different places, but generally people who are
wanting to be involved in a community and
wanting to grow, Sitek, Andover junior, says.
Allowing yourself to be a part of a community
is an opportunity for growth in a lot of ways, and
I think people who seek this out are aware of
that.
Since 1961, men and women have cohabitated
in the lower level of 1204 Oread as part of the
ECMs Koinonia community, a program that

seeks to provide affordable housing and a year-
long growing experience in service, fellowship
and faith. Most members are students,
though some are recent graduates involved
in nonproft work. Koinonia is a Greek word
that, translated loosely, means communion.
However, sitting around the dining table in the
their basement, the new roommates debate the
precise translation.
It means community, says Ben Dillon, a
recent journalism graduate from the University
of Missouri, who intends to work with
Americorps this fall. So when we call it the
Koinonia Community, its kind of redundant.
Does it? I thought it meant fellowship, Sitek
says.
Ah yes, its Greek for sharing your life with
another in a friendship that is capable of being
in another persons shoes, says Erik Buchholz,
a 2010 graduate in psychology and Chinese who
reads the defnition from a packet of information
on Koinonia. But thats the long defnition.
Though new members are still grappling with
what Koinonia means, living up to the groups
name and goals of compassion and empathy
can prove challenging, says Thad Holcomb, the
ECM pastor who has overseen Koinonia since
1991. It connotes a community, not a group, and
many who become a part not only are attracted
because of that sense of community, but work
hard at it occurring, he says.
Aside from living together, members volunteer
45 hours each semester with local service
programs, such as tending community gardens
or tutoring ESL students. They also meet weekly
to share community meals, where, besides
food, many other items come to the table, from
deep discussions on faith to who didnt wash
their dishes.
We talk about where we are with our
spirituality, but thats not all we talk about, Sitek
says. Thats one time when conficts come to
the table. We try not to be passive aggressive
or talking behind each others backs.
Sitek, Konoinias only returning resident,
lived in Hashinger Hall her freshman year.
Although a sense of community can be found
in the residence halls, its neither obligatory
nor guaranteed. Students can take their halls
side-stairwell on their way to class instead of
passing their foormates in the lobby.
The theory at Konoinia is that life is better
when shared together and deeply, Sitek says.
The goal is to work through that confict and
become a stronger community, she says.
Sometimes conficts pertaining to the
Koinonia living space arise. During the dining
table discussion, the ECMs aging interior began
to show its wear.
Im being dripped on, declares Dillon,
pausing to inspect the ceiling. I just realized
this wall is wet right here.
Sitek points to a corner where the basements
parquet tiles are covered in water.
Though its still early in the year, the residents
fnd that each confict, whether fooded
basement or personal dispute, draws them
closer together in community in Koinonia.
And while none of them can foresee what
the upcoming year might hold, they hope to
go through it together. Its a process Holcomb
has had the opportunity to witness for almost
20 years.Members often state that they have
experienced great support through crisis
and a place to laugh and cry without being
embarrassed, he says. Koinonia attempts
to be a place where hospitality is practiced
through compassion and faith is explored.

house dont talk they sing. In October of 2009
Pisano and Moen rented a house in Saint Paul,
Minn. and created a performing arts show that
traveled from room to room and showcased
songs written by Moen.
Almost one year later, the act has trans-
formed into the band Peter Wolf Crier.
The duo, who will be performing at The
Granada Sept. 19, recorded, produced and self-
released their frst album, Inter-Be, before it
was re-released by Ripple Entertainment, LLC.
Lawrence is the second stop of the bands
three-week, 16-day tour across the country.
The band tours by minivan, a choice that Pisano
says is to keep things small and economical.
This isnt Pisano or Moens frst tour and Pisano
says its a crazy experience.
Theres some beauty in getting fve hours of
sleep and living off $10 a day. Its fucking nuts,
Pisano says. Its great to be able to laugh at the
ridiculousness with your friend.
Moen says he and Pisano considered bring-

STAGE PRESENCE // rooftoP Vigilantes
> Its not all about fast food and beer pong.
Zach Campbell, Oscar Allen Guinn, Hannah
Hyde and Seth Wiese are Rooftop Vigilantes.
Theyre energetic, loud, and most of all, they
have a good time.
Campbell says the bands formation was
an accident, but a lucky one. The rowdy group
now has two strong releases, a growing local
fan base and an upcoming tour. Theyre the
only local act in the upcoming music festival,
Garagefest, and theyll play at the CMJ music
festival in October in New York City.
But, despite their increasing popular-
ity, Campbell says the band members try not to
take themselves too seriously. Theyre working
hard to fnish their second full-length album due
out next year, but Campbell says the bands fa-
vorite part of recording songs and touring isnt
always the work its also the fun of meeting
new people along the way.
All we really want to do is have fun, play
good shows and play loud rock music, Camp-
bell says. Hopefully people who come watch
us have the same mindset.

Homosapien, Atmosphere, Beck, Rage

Even with all of the variety, the album
doesnt have any disappointing songs mixed
in to kill the vibe. The album can be listened
to without wanting to skip any tracks or put a
kink in your fow when dancing along.
One of the sickest songs is Honda
Redux, which includes a hard-hitting bass
line and lots of laser-esque sounds to get
your head shaking.
Drunk With A Loaded Pistol, freaks you
out at the beginning with its minor chords
and creepy howling sounds, but builds into a
legitimate winner by the very end.
However, dont ignore the other tracks
because all listeners, both experienced
and inexperienced in electronic music, will
be able to hear something they never have
before.

movie review //
Machete is the rarest of cinematic beasts
a flm that defes logic and common
decency to that rarifed point where trash
becomes treasure. Robert Rodriguezs latest
ultraviolent opus is everything weve come
to expect from the journeyman director. But
the real fnd here is veteran character actor
Danny Trejo, whose Machete character
represents his frst starring role after nearly
three decades in the flm business.
Blink and youll miss the razor-thin plot,
which follows the trail of carnage laid
out by a vengeful federale known only as
> Hollywood hits, indie ficks and everything in between.
MACHETE
Machete. After his wife and daughter are killed
by notorious drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal),
our hero is forced over the border into Texas,
where he works as a common day laborer
before being approached by a slick-talking
stranger named Mr. Booth (Jeff Fahey).
Booth offers Machete a fortune to
assassinate Senator McLaughlin (Robert De
Niro), an anti-immigrant hardliner who funds
a murderous group of border patrolmen led by
professional sadist Lt. Stillman (Don Johnson
from Miami Vice). When the job is revealed
to be a double-cross, Machete escapes and
vows to hunt down the men who left him for
dead. Although Machete fails as an abject
political satire, it benefts mightily from the
talent of its eclectic supporting cast.
At the end of the day, Machete belongs
to Danny Trejo. The real life ex-con and former
drug addict turned gangland rehabilitator
doesnt need any make-up or prosthetics to
embody the role of the pockmarked avenger.
So take note, Hollywood. This is what a real
action hero looks like.
