This weeks feature about job searching (p. 10) made me feel lousy because I need it. Bad. Not only have I ignored the looming Real World for four years by not getting internships, but I chose a major filled with the most initiative-taking people since the gold rushers. For five semesters now, Ive returned from breaks to hear my peers

EDITORS NOTE

talk about internships in Boston, job offers in Chicago and skills acquired with the fierce ambition and unrelenting passion of the Journalists of Tomorrow. I spent my breaks serving beers and burgers and reading novels. Last semester, I talked my dad into letting me stay in college playland one more year, tacked on an English major and planned on applying for internships to gain experience. Ive only now started the process.

Though it took a full four years for me to do it, Ive finally accepted that serving wont suffice much longer, and that Fortune wont drop an income on me, like in the novels I read. Not that I dont secretly hope for a plan B. This weeks other articles taught me how to pack up and run away (p. 7), or hey maybe Ill take up the exciting life of a DJ (p. 15).

Glazed Grilled Peaches  Rinse 6 firm-ripe peaches; cut each in half and pit. Melt 6 tablespoons butter or margarine in a frying pan over medium-high heat; add 1/4 cup sugar and stir until well blended. Remove pan from heat, set peaches in butter mixture, and coat evenly. Next, lay peaches, cut side down, on a barbeque grill over a solid bed of medium coals or medium heat on a gas grill. Cook until peaches are hot and lightly browned on the bottom. Brush tops with more butter mixture, then turn fruit over and brush cooked sides with mixture. Cook until peaches are warm but still hold their shape, 6 to 10 minutes. Makes 6 servings.

MIND YOUR MANNERS

When asked to pass the salt, go the extra mile and offer the pepper, as well. Pass the shakers person to person until they reach the one who requested them. No hand-to-hand contact, though when passing, simply set the salt and pepper on the table near the person next to you. This may not be the quickest way to get them from point A to B, but etiquette, after all, has never been about speed.

NoTIce

Whether youre going to Portland or Portugal, these tips can help.

Packing for a long trip is just like writing a paper you have to go back through your stuff a couple of times, says Kerem Sengun, Istanbul, Turkey senior. From March to August, approximately 20 percent of sales at Backwoods, 916 Massachusetts St., are from students going on trips abroad, Adrian Meneses, manager of Backwoods, says. Backpacking through foreign countries isnt easy. It takes preparation and planning. Not only are travelers headed to continents where people speak different languages and measure the temperature in Celsius, but travelers also have to anticipate everything they need for a long trip. Bring the essentials, but not too much, says Meneses. Before strapping on a pack and heading across the ocean or border, take these handy hints to heart. Picking the perfect pack The size of your pack is a key factor in comfort, Meneses says. Backpacks are designed to fit different bodies and custom made for men or women. Travel packs vary in size, but many are built to fit in airplane overhead storage bins. Some also come with smaller attachable packs to take along for day trips. Meneses says to look for backpacks with concealed zippers. You want to make it as difficult as possible for people to get into your backpack, he says. Lighten your load All you need for traveling are clothes, money and the proper documents, says Guzmn Garca Rodrguez, Pontevedra, Spain graduate student. Rodrguez has traveled to 14 countries, staying in youth hostels and budget hotels. He packs lightly so he can easily keep track of

your Pack

his things. And the less you have, the more mobile you are, Sengun says. Backpackers are always catching trains, using public transportation and moving around. A lighter load is easier on both you and the natives because you wont be bumping into them with your pack, Sengun says. Airlines often have weight requirements for both carry-on and checked luggage. Ryanair, a United Kingdom-based airline, allows only 15 kilograms (33 pounds) for checked bags, according to ryanair.com. It charges a fee for each excess kilo, so packing light is easier on your wallet and your back. Safety first Tourist attractions often have thieves in the area who make a living by preying on confused tourists. When protecting yourself and your things, theres no such thing as overly-cautious. I sleep with my money in my socks, Rodrguez says. Zippers with locks can be key to keeping your stuff safe. Look for Travel Sentry Certified locks, Menses says. Airport security has a master key to open them so the staff doesnt have to break them, causing you to buy more locks once you get overseas, he says. Concealable money pouches should be like a second skin. They can strap onto your waist or hang around your neck and be tucked away under your clothes, hiding your passport, money and other valuables from pickpockets. Sengun wore one around his waist that tucked behind his belt. Also, know where youre going. People tend to take advantage of travelers who look lost, Meneses says. And if youre traveling to a country that speaks a different language, try to know as much of it as possible, he suggests. Travelers can pick up phrase books with how-tos and facts about cultural differences. The worst thing you can do is assume that everyone speaks English, Sengun says. The slightest effort to learn another language can improve your relationship and make you more welcome, he says. Youve picked a pack, thrown together the necessities and learned how to say One beer, please, in several different languages. Now you can kiss Mom goodbye and set out to see everything from Stonehenge to the Great Wall of China.

How to book a hostel

Hostels and budget hotels are perfect places to meet other travelers. Theyre usually less expensive than hotels, and many hostels include guest kitchens, Internet access and breakfast. When searching for a hostel, look for cleanliness, safety and location, says Stephanie Coleman, branch manager at STA Travel in the Kansas Union. These travel tips can help you find a place to crash:
KIT LEFFLER

The Internet is your friend. Web sites like hostelworld.com and hostelbookers.com provide hostel searches, ratings from past guests and online reservations. STA Travel personally researches hostels on its site, Coleman says. Know where youre headed. After booking your hostel, write down the directions and have a phone number handy in case you get lost. Always email to confirm that the hostel has

your reservation, says Kerem Sengun, Istanbul, Turkey senior. Check out the atmosphere. If youre looking for a place to party, make sure you plan to stay somewhere without a curfew, says Kathleen Carey, Overland Park senior. She got locked out of her hostel in Barcelona late one night. If youre looking for peace and quiet, its best not to stay in a hostel with a bar.

FASHION TREND: WIDE BELTS

Designer belts are some of the most fashionable accessories for men and women right now. Not only can you pick from a variety of styles and colors, but metalworkers and designers are even creating signature buckles that you can interchange with different bands. When it comes to the fit, you should buy a belt that is one size larger than your actual waist size, says Kathleen Herbst, employee at Weavers, 901 Massachusetts St. As for the width, belts are big right nowliterally, says Jeremy Cain, employee at Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St. Wide bands are a sure way to attract attention, even though they cant always promise to keep your pants up. There are two things to remember when wearing a belt: match it with your shoes and tuck in your shirt. Malinda Osborne

when visiting her boyfriend at an out-of-state university, chelsie foty, minnetonka, minn., senior, went to a party to meet her boyfriends friends for the first time. Dressed up in a short, flowing skirt, foty went to the ladies room to freshen up. five minutes after returning to her boyfriend and his entourage of male friends, a girl tapped foty on the shoulder. she spun around to face the girl, just in time to hear, your skirt is tucked into your thong. nice first impression.

My girlfriend told Me she is bisexual. Will she be happy being MonogaMous With Me, or Will she feel like she is Missing out on sexual experiences With girls? Jack, sophoMore
Jessica: Bless your heart, youre competing with two gender pools. Its not fair for either of you to be trapped in a relationship in which you both doubt your ability to meet the others needs. It sounds like its time to give her the opportunity to explore what she may be missing and, in the meantime, you can find someone whos sure you have her needs met. Brian: Id say youre faced with a difficult situation, but who am I kidding? You are probably one of the luckiest guys on campus. Take advantage of the situation. Ask your lady if you could pick a girl out for the three of you. If she doesnt want a trio in the sack, at least make sure you can have the closest seat in the house. Just be sure to let your girlfriend do who she wants. Be open to the idea and let her be expressive.

Do guys like to be bitten on the ear, neck, etc.? i like to bite, but not too harD. is that cool? elizabeth, freshman
Brian: Biting is all about someones personal preference. The best way to find out if a guy likes it is to just do it. If you ask before, the first thing he might envision is you taking a chunk out of his neck. Just take a nibble out of an insensitive area on his body. I recommend either the shoulder or the upper chest. If he likes it, try other places, possibly biting harder. Just dont get carried away and bite him below the belt. You could get punched in the face. Jessica: Dont ask me. Ask the guy youre biting.Do you think its hot if I bite you here? Playful biting may be a turn-on, but Id run it by the guy first. As totally unsexy as that may seem, its better than hurting him.

How do you know if a woman is faking it? Paul, senior

Brian: What? I dont know what youre talking about. Ive never had a woman fake it and never will. Im the greatest lover in the world. Women have orgasms when I speak. Jessica: The truth is 72% of women have faked it, so its not unrealistic to question whether your girl is, too. Obviously, the best way to find out is to broach the subject lightly, with no accusations, because its something most women, if not all, are hesitant to talk about. Physical signs include her acting overly theatrical or if you dont feel her muscles clench when shes coming. These are not hard-andfast rules, but things to keep in mind if youre doubting whether shes having orgasms. Keep in mind shes not trying to fool you; one of the main reasons for faking is to please a partner.

Job searching 101

Everything youve ever wanted to know about finding your first job
by Melissa Byrd
Guess which of the following job-searching faux pas Perry Golden, campus recruiter for Cerner Corporation in Kansas City, has seen students commit: A student walking around a career fair with her mom. The students mother then proceeds to pick out which companies her daughter should talk to. A student unfamiliar with the Midwest thinking Missouri lies along the Canadian border. A student submitting a graph explaining the rise and fall of his GPA. A student submitting a rsum with a family portrait on the last page in full color. accomplished applicants. As David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, puts it, a degree is an entrance to the fair, not a ticket for a ride. Professionals who specialize in career advice, authors, recent graduates and former students have valuable bits of wisdom to impart on what is a challenging and frustrating but, ultimately, rewarding rite of passage for all students. How am I supposed to find a job Ill like? Billy Jonathan Claustro Abando, Lawrence senior, needs a job, preferably in the technology field, when he graduates in May. Abando constantly fine-tunes his rsum and checks his e-mail, hoping that a company will offer him a job a seemingly easy goal thats proving more difficult than he imagined. Especially when his mother calls him every day to ask if he has found a job yet, he says. Abando at least knows what he wants in an entry-level job. But what if you dont even know where to start? Gaston recommends beginning with a detailed self-assessment of what you want in a position and what skills you possess. This includes evaluating your personality, values and interests. Maybe you care about making a lot of money. Or perhaps you are willing to sacrifice a little pay for a job you cant wait to get to every morning. You need to know whats important to you and what your talents are. Its more on what you bring to the table than your major, Gaston says. Make the career center your first stop when embarking on your job search, advises Louise Kursmark, author of Best Rsums for College Students and New Grads. Exploit all your resources, Kursmark says. Sit down and talk to people about the kinds of jobs available. Speak to actual people in the work force. Check out books. If youre really at a loss, you may even consider hiring a professional career coach, she says. Never underestimate the importance of networking. Approximately 80 percent of jobs available are hidden jobs, or unadvertised ones you must network to tap into. This is especially important for entry-level employees because employers would rather spend advertising dollars elsewhere, Kursmark says. Gaston says networking is like playing six degrees of separation. Start by thinking of whom you know. If youre not comfortable with the person, dont ask for help directly. Ask for advice in an offhand way and he or she may surprise you by naming a contact, Gaston says. The the old adage Its not what

you know, its who you know is an accurate description of jobhunting for students, says Lauren Airey, a public policy assistant for the American Farm Bureau in Washington, D.C. You get the job yourself, she says. But connections can get your foot in the door. Sometimes, however, getting a job is no more than blind luck. That was the case for Amy Sullivan, a wedding coordinator for the Chicago Historical Society and a 2005 graduate. She stumbled on her job after interviewing with a catering company in Chicago. The person she interviewed with knew of a position Sullivan might be better suited for, so the interviewer faxed her resume to the Chicago Historical Society. After a 10-minute interview and two weeks of waiting, Sullivan had the job. But it was not without some serious work on her part. She made four trips to Chicago and interviewed nine times before landing her job

on the one-page resume rule? If you genuinely have enough information, its okay to go off onto a second page, she says. But look at what youre saying. It needs to be relevant. Gatson thinks it depends on the field. For education, its more acceptable to go beyond one page; for sales and marketing, one page should be the maximum. Interviewing: Necessity or torture device?

The ArT of The cover LeTTer

One of the most difficult and dreaded tasks in the job search process

I know what youre thinking. Nobody in their right mind would commit any of those job-searching blunders, right? Wrong. Golden witnessed each and every one of these fatal mistakes. College, like all good things, must come to an end. And when it does, its critical to be armed with the skills necessary to find that first job after graduation. With more employers expecting college degrees, students must learn how to make themselves stand out from other equally talented and

Nothing strikes more fear in the hearts of job hunters than the interview. Interviews can reduce even the most extroverted people to a bundle of nerves in a suit. (And yes, you should wear a suit.) If there was one common piece of advice career experts wanted to share about interviewing, its this: prepare, prepare, prepare. One of the biggest mistakes students make is not researching a company before they go in to interview, says Mimi Collins, Do rsums really need to fit on director of information for the one page? National Association of Colleges and Employers. Writing a rsum for a new Every year we ask what advice graduate is tough, says Kursmark. To employers would give students, stand out from the heaps of rsums and every year its the same thing: stacked on a recruiters desk, its Research the company, she says.

Career Its a marketing tool, not a Services conducts 200 to 300 mock transcript of everything youve ever interviews per semester, Gatson says. done, Gaston says. Mock interviews are a great way to And where does Kursmark stand practice answering tough questions

is writing the cover letter. Not only is it unnatural to brag about yourself especially in writing but you also need to personalize each letter for the position and company youre applying for, which takes time. The cover letter has three major components: the opening paragraph, the body (or sales pitch) and the call to action, says Gaston. The main purpose is to entice the employer to look at your rsum. Heres the breakdown:

Opening paragraph: Explain who you are and why you are writing Body: This is where you show your interest in the company. Prove you did your homework and researched the company before writing the letter by including examples of what this company does that appeals to you as a potential employee. Provide examples describing how you fit the positions qualifications this is your sales pitch and the product youre selling is yourself. Final paragraph: say thank you for the recipients consideration, then provide a course of action, such as when you will follow up.
the company. Now what to wear? A suit is a necessity, says Kent McAnally, assistant director of University Career Center. And a suit is considered a matching set, either pants and jacket or skirt and jacket. Blazers and khaki pants need not apply. Business casual is especially inappropriate for interviews, says Patty Noland, career development coordinator for the School of Journalism. Students are used to dressing casual for classes, but they need to look the part of a professional while interviewing, she says. You want to make a professional first impression. Also, take care not to wear any distracting accessories. You want people to remember you, and not the red flower on your coat, McAnally says. You also want to be well-groomed and pay attention to the details in your ensemble. This means clipping your fingernails and shining your shoes. Everybodys always nervous, McAnally says. But its all about if you can handle the interview in a confident, composed manner. Do 50 phone calls qualify as a nuisance? You made it through the interview. Now youre in a delicate situation CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

and to get more comfortable with the interview process. Practice is really what its all about, says Randall Hansen, Stetson University marketing professor and creator of QuintCareers. com, a career development site. He suggests writing out answers to common interview questions not to memorize them, but to be familiar with them and to be able to tell stories that illustrate your experience. If you can have three or four bits of information you want your interviewer to know about you and stories to go along with them, you should be in pretty good shape. What you want to do is minimize the percentage of the interview youre not prepared for, Gaston says. Whitney Bartlow, an administrative assistant for Stowers Medical Research, was caught off guard by the interview process. I didnt have any experience with business interviewing as a science major, the 2005 graduate says. Bartlow was particularly unprepared for the notorious what is your weakness question. I hadnt thought about it, she says. Her advice? Be prepared, because they are going to ask you some tough questions. Youve prepared, youve looked over your rsum and researched

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 and that you have the ability to take initiative by following up, but you dont want to irritate the employer. What to do? Kursmark recommends following up with a phone call or e-mail no later than one week after the interview. Make it clear at the end of the interview when the next contact will be, she says. If you dont hear from them by the date you discuss, then feel free to make the next move. More or less, make sure theres a timeline. Be persistent, yet polite, Noland says. Employers are extremely busy. Not only do they need to hire someone, but they have all of the tasks that go along with their job. Following up shows you are a selfstarter. Employers wish more people would take the initiative and follow up, Noland says. For Paige Worthy, a copy editor and page designer for Sun Tribune Newspapers and a 2005 graduate, persistence paid off. I pestered the hell out of the managing editor, she says. He wasnt in a hiring state of mind, but I kept nagging and nagging until he asked me to come in for an interview. He eventually offered her a job. This type of persistence can work, Noland says, but it depends on the type of job youre going for. In sales, for example, its almost expected you will be somewhat aggressive when following up on a potential job. What do employers really want? When Golden looks for potential employees, he seeks out people who are well-rounded. Not only should the student be focused on school, but he or she should have also enjoyed college life by participating in organizations, clubs or intramurals, he says. While employers arent after one particular quality, excellent communication skills are always a must. Organizational skills, leadership skills, passion and an ability to plan long-term are all attractive qualities in a potential employee, Gaston says. Internships and experience are necessary, even if the experience comes from a leadership position in an organization. Employers want to hear stories about how you have applied the skills you possess; its not enough just to rattle off a list of skills in an interview. And one final piece of advice for soon-to-be new graduates: Be realistic. Its your first job out of college, not a life sentence it wont be the perfect job, Noland

advice from those who have been there

Lauren Airey, a public policy assistant for the American Farm Bureau in Washington, D.C., and a 2005 graduate: Every job is a stepping stone. Even if you dont like what youre doing, you need to realize its just a stepping stone. Amy Sullivan, a wedding coordinator for the Chicago Historical Society and a 2005 graduate: Connections are really important. The more you have, the better off you are. Whitney Bartlow, an administrative assistant for Stowers Medical Research and 2005 graduate: Research the company you want to work for. They are going to test you and you want to impress them with actual knowledge of what they do. Paige Worthy, a copy editor and page designer for Sun Tribune Newspapers and a 2005 graduate: After you graduate, you have to opportunity to do something completely different. Take a risk and get out of your comfort zone.

says. Think about what youre passionate about. Find out what makes you eager and excited. Just dont show up at a career fair with your mom.

The perks and pains of a sibling following you to school

A family affair
by Stefanie Graves
As students, we deal with countless school, work and social responsibilities, but some have to deal with an additional variable when a sibling decides to attend the same university. Many younger siblings feel more comfortable going to school with an older brother or sister because of the sense of familiarity, says Dr. Scott Stacey, a licensed psychotherapist at Acumen Assessments, 901 Kentucky St. An older sibling can represent feelings of attachment, familiarity or an ease that the student felt growing up, he says. But its not always easy playing big brother. Its a challenge sometimes, having a younger brother here, says Rob Werling, Fort Scott graduate student. Although he and his sophomore brother, Brett, were fairly close growing up, Rob has had to make some adjustments to accommodate his brothers presence at KU. The most difficult thing was making his parents understand that, while he was excited to have Brett in Lawrence, he didnt want to feel responsible for his brothers decisions, he says. Still, Rob says that instincts sometimes kick in. I feel like I have to make sure things are going well for him, that his experience is up to his expectations, he says. Brett wanted to live in a dorm his freshman year. When his plans fell through, Rob let his brother stay with him and his roommates. Two years later, the brothers are still living together. The sacrifices hes made were well worth it, Rob says. After living together, the brothers are closer than ever and Rob considers Brett one of his best friends. Its been fun to live together without parents. Ive learned a lot about my brother and hes taught me a lot about myself, he says. Rivalries and having someone always looking over your shoulder can make being the younger sibling just as difficult. Ted Diepenbrock, Liberal junior, says he was excited when his older brother, George, decided to attend KU for graduate school, but that it can be hard having an older brother at the same university. George can be patronizing, Ted says. When a friend accidentally put a gash in Teds head after goofing around, Ted got scolded. Its common for siblings to develop specific personality roles, such as being the protector, Dr. Vera Rabie-Azoory says. When two siblings are close in age, one usually takes on the parenting role, says Rabie-Azoory in her online column The Truth About the Family Favorite . George Diepenbrock says its always been that way with his younger brother. On New Years Eve, he showed up at a party to check on Ted and hung around to make sure his brother had a safe ride home. Its not always easy, but having a built-in support system and someone nearby who cares has made the college experience better, Rob and Ted say. Although theyve had to overcome a few hurdles, both are happy to have a brother in Lawrence. Our relationship wouldnt have been as close if wed gone to different schools, definitely. Its been an experience thats affected the bond we have now and the bond well have throughout life, Rob says.

Blood is thicker than conflict...

Rivalry isnt something that only kids deal with. Jealousy and competition follow many siblings into adulthood. Some of the factors that lead to sibling rivalry include: tress - Stress in the life of one or both S siblings can shorten fuses and cause conflict. arents If parents dont adequately P teach siblings, as children, how to deal with stress, rivalries can be heightened. he desire for individuality During T college, young adults struggle to define who they are as an individual. Participating in different activities and pursuing different interests is essential. ttention When friends or family dont A give each sibling the same amount of attention and recognize individual achievements, its easy for rivalries to develop.

The monster of the holiday season lands on DVD and is worth a second look. Dismissed as too long (true) and too overstuffed with effects (debatable), it is still lavish moviemaking at its best. Peter Jacksons enthusiasm for the original makes his remake, complete with its better effects, more action and Naomi Watts, a fan boys wet dream.

Ninth St., the drink is enjoyed by all. Russ Livingston, owner of the Bourgeois Pig, says the drink was imported to the Pig by one of their own bartenders who hailed from England. Variations of the drink appear in the northern and southern parts of England. Northern English tend to use a darker beer, while southerners use a lighter one to balance out the ciders flavor. By topping off the drink with extra from the Ribena, the Snakebite turns into a lethal concoction oh, the pain never tasted so sweet.

He has spun records at the Granada and Abe & Jakes, and is currently working with Daniel Osburn on Thursday evenings at EightOneFive Cafe and Nightclub. Osburn, Newton senior, feels the same way about hosting and promoting club events. Osburn began spinning records three years ago and has since faced a constant challenge of grabbing peoples attention. But, its totally worth it, Osburn says. Nothing makes me happier than throwing down tracks that people can groove to. Osburn remains hopeful that his night at EightOneFive will be a success. Jeff Singer, owner of EightOne Five and a DJ, admires Ruck and Osburns dedication to the electronic music scene. Singer says he has tremendous respect

for both of them. There are a lot of DJs in Lawrence, but only a few good ones, and Tim and Dan are excellent, he says. Lawrence nightlife has changed in Singers 18 years of DJ-ing, he says, but hes optimistic about new (and old) music fans attending his club in the future. Kristin Doeblin, Wichita alumna, is one such fan. She says she frequently attends hip-hop and electronic music shows in both Lawrence and Kansas City. Im all about supporting the local shows around Lawrence, Doeblin says. I love the fact that I live in such a diverse college town, not just culturally, but musically. Ruck, Osburn, and Morales share one passion: They love music and love to make people dance. So, the next time you see any of these guys spinning records, remember that each pushes through late nights, noise citations and wild drunks to make you move and groove.

Unfortunately, this album leaves you scratching your head. MuteMath is full of spacey alternative rock that is sometimes good, but often boring. Their long meandering instrumentals generally left me bored and uninspired. There are four good songs. Typical provides a great opener to the album. Fast forward 15 minutes and you get to Stare At The Sun, with a great intro that could be the soundtrack to the next awful alien movie with a killer soundtrack. Skip another 15 minutes and you get to the last two tracks, Picture and Stall Out, which are a great close to the album. Sure, four out of 12 songs is a better ratio than any Fallout Boy or Nickelback album, but four isnt enough to make this album worth buying.

MuteMath has quickly gained fans because of its constant touring and hard work. On February 9th, the band played at The Bottleneck to a sold-out audience eager to hear their blend of spacey alternative rock. Combining bouncy drumbeats and heavy organ, MuteMaths anthem-like sound has been winning over audiences night after night.

have a sort of indie rock flair, but are inevitably dragged down by clichd heavy guitar riffs and pseudo-emo melodies. It seems the band is trying to pull together some different genres, but fails to pull them together in a cohesive or credible way.

Straight out of Boston comes Violet Nine, a five-piece rock band with 6,784 MySpace fans, hipster rockstar fashion sense and a debut album out on April 4 including a track already featured on the National Lampoon movie Cattle Call. The bands MySpace page describes their music as My Bloody Valentine vs. Justin Timberlake; thats close. I describe it as The Strokes meets Our Lady Peace with a dash of Goth music.

Sergio Anello of The Early November

MUSIC

Bring It Back

ergio Anello, bassist of The Early November, took a break before the bands Atlanta show to talk about their new triple album The Mother, The Mechanic, and The Path. The album is awaiting release, but the bands Take Action Tour will stop by the Granada on April 6 th. Q: What made you decide to make a triple album? A: It originally started out as two albums, a rock album and a second one that was a different style. But then we wanted to make a story with dialogue that went along with the music. Then we had one really long album. Q: How is each disc different? A: The first disc is a rock album. Its more mature than our old stuff. The second disc is kind of folky. Some songs have a country feel and there are some pop songs on there. The third album is a story with dialogue and music intertwined throughout. Q: How do you feel this album is different than your last album, The Rooms Too Cold? A: Weve all grown in our music styles, and we wanted to do something different. The album is still us, but its a lot more grown-up.

Q: Whats the story behind the title: The Mother, The Mechanic, and The Path? A: The mother just came off the top of our heads. The mechanic is the rock CD. We produced it to sound bigger than the other two albums. Its higher quality. The Path is the story CD. Its like a journey backed with music. Q: When is the album supposed to come out? A: We dont know. They just pushed the release date back. It should be out within the next six months. Q: How have things changed for the band since you released The Rooms Too Cold? A: We did a lot of touring off it and were still touring off it. Its coming towards the end, so it kind of feels like were beating a dead horse. Weve become a new band. As soon as this new CD comes out, itll lift our spirits. Q: Can you support yourself financially with the money you make from the band? A: None of us have jobs. For the most part, if were not on tour, were writing, so it leaves no time to have an actual job. The money is nothing fantastic, but its enough to get by. Q: Why should people come see the Take Action Tour? A: There are a lot of good bands. Plus its for a good cause [suicide prevention]. Its a good time.

Two-piece bands are becoming more and more popular, but, unlike most, Mates of State abandons the guitar and uses organ, drums and two vocalists. And they manage to make two people sound as powerful as a fourperson band.

by Mates of State

KU alumni Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel make up Mates of State and create a catchy blend of power pop. Usually power pop induces heavy vomiting, but Mates of State manages to write cheery pop songs while keeping integrity and creativity as their main focus. On Bring It Back, their fourth full-length album, they continue writing their anthemic pop, heavy in experimentation and hooks. Beautiful Dreamer and So Many Ways are some of the catchiest songs Ive ever heard. Running Out is a great six-and-a-half minute closer, complete with a memorable refrain. In an age in which sugary pop music is reserved for 12-year-olds, Mates of State creates memorable melodies and catchy choruses that satisfy an adult audience.

Two Takes: V for Vendetta

MoVIe
control of a totalitarian British government. A masked freedom fighter/terrorist named V (Hugo Weaving) threatens to blow up Parliament in a years time if the High Chancellor doesnt step down. Through dumb luck, a young woman (Natalie Portman) becomes intertwined in Vs plans. I recently saw White House Press Corp reporter Helen Thomas speak on campus. One of the questions she had was, where are the activists? This is exactly what V For Vendetta asks. The film paints what essentially are terrorist acts in a positive light. We want V to succeed. We want the futuristic British population to stand up and fight back. But what the film really excels at is hammering home the fact that this fictitious situation is much too close to our own reality. An encompassing moment is when V sets up the most elaborate (an ultimately useless) domino show ever. Dominos start with one and then they all fall into place, a worthy metaphor for the way revolutions are started. Sure, the film has its share of schmaltz (it is a comic book movie) but at the end youre so enraptured by its message and astounded by its visuals that the schmaltz doesnt matter. At one point, V says, People shouldnt fear their governments, governments should fear their people. After watching this film, I couldnt agree more. The oppressed should rebel, and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance until their civil rights are fully restored to them. Thomas Jefferson V for Vendetta rocks. Its a political thriller that actually has something to say. The films brilliance is evident from Natalie Portmans eerie and passionate opening monologue to the films explosive and touching finale. The year is 2020 and every facet of English society is ruled by a totalitarian British government that covers up its deadly messes. The government implements curfews, the Chancellor of England controls all media and gays are taken to concentration camps. England is like Nazi Germany and Americas unity has been reduced to the Colonies. Epidemics have covered the globe and England is infested with violence, intolerance and repression. One of the films many strengths is its mature and passionate cast. Natalie Portman plays a young civilian named Evie whose deceased parents were political activists. Portman portrays Evie as a smart and tough young woman. Her Queens English accent isnt too shabby either. British actor Stephan Rea plays a curious and goodhearted detective employed by the dictatorial Chancellor. The threatening Chancellor is effectively creepy throughout. Hugo Weaving brilliantly portrays the films puppetmaster, the ominous and passionate V. Despite the mask, Weaving gives the films vigilante a charming wit, intelligence and, most of all, humanity. V could have easily been a laughable and flamboyant lunatic without Weavings sincerity. The relationship between Evie and V is never defined and it keeps you guessing. Despite its effective cast,

Rated R, 132 minutes

Im scared. Im scared for the state of things in this world. Has our government engineered my fear to serve its purpose? Its frighteningly possible, and V For Vendetta is here to call us out on our fear and beg us to take action. A welcome relief to an inane movie season, V For Vendetta shocks, challenges, confronts and disturbs. The film doesnt care. what your political beliefs may be. It has its message and it is going to shove it down your throat. It is 2020 and a Palpatineesque High Chancellor is in

the film has some flaws. The first half is too complicated, trying to cover too many stories and characters. However, during the second half, the plot and characters all connect together seamlessly. V For Vendetta does a wonderful job examining the threats against personal freedoms and the actions that must be taken to reclaim them. It also reveals the true man behind the mask of V and his mortality. V for Vendetta is a violent, smart and sly action film with a bleeding heart. The films potency lies in its messages: that an idea is more important than the man who encompasses it and that a little revolution is a good thing.

SPEAK

THE WAR ON FOOD

How international cuisine overthrew my dietary defenses
by Tara Schupner
The menu was in German, but I placed my order confidently. I was taking a risk, but I was eager. I was in an unfamiliar country and, by God, I would try something new. After 20 minutes, my meal arrived. I stared at my dish, as pop-eyed as the trout goggling back at me. In horror, I silently questioned whether the fish was actually dead. Its tail, fins, scales and head were intact. I picked up my fork and poked cautiously at it. Could I take the bold step of eating a whole, bony fish? It was something Id never done before, but it would be a step forward in my lifelong battle with my culinary demons. I grew up an extremely picky eater. I hated food, and food hated me back. The day I realized that food hated me was when I was 11 and my mother told me I couldnt leave the table unless I ate my green beans. I sat there for an hour, slumped in my chair, arms crossed, pouting. My mother finally conceded. One mouthful of green beans and she would release me from my misery. I carefully picked up two pieces on my fork and, grimacing, placed them in my mouth. I immediately ran to the bathroom and threw up. My mother never asked me to eat green beans again. It wasnt just the taste of certain foods I hated. It was also the texture. For a while, I couldnt stand lettuce because I thought it tasted and felt like the grass I ate when I was 5. I dont like apples because of their mixture of juiciness and crunchiness, or oranges because theyre squishy and pulpy. I dont even like crunchy peanut butter. But when I traveled abroad for the first time, to Italy with my high school Latin club, it was eat or starve. No longer could I avoid eating tomatoes. Tomatoes were everywhere. When in Rome, do as the

Romans do, I reminded myself. So, curling my toes with dread, I took that tentative first bite of a tomato-and-mozzarella pizza. As my toes uncurled and my eyes popped open, I realized that God had made it and it was good! After I returned, I started trying foods Id previously turned up my nose at. I compromised and started eating salad lettuce only, with oodles of dressing. Gradually, the proportion of lettuce-to-dressing changed for the healthier. I tried salted snap peas and liked them. After a friend twisted my arm, I tried her favorite Thai dish curry chicken in coconut milk and became a frequent Thai eater. I also tried apple pie for the first time, discarding the apples but eating the crust and goo. Then I started eating the apples, too. When I went to England with KUs London Review class, I tried

pie of a different sort: chicken and melted stilton cheese pie. I fell in love with it and, the next day, ordered stilton cheese by itself. I received a hunk of raw pale yellow cheese with green mold threaded throughout it. I looked at it in horror as I realized Id eaten moldy cheese. I bravely bit into it anyway. Confronted by its rancid taste, I spat the cheese back out into my napkin. But I congratulated myself for trying it. A year later and several countries away, I looked at my little fish and, with the history of my war on food in mind, thought: When in Germany, do as the Germans do. But a whole fish? I looked up at my family. My brother was snickering behind his hand. My mother, usually stoic, was trying to contain a fit of the giggles. They didnt believe I would eat it. Shoving my dish to the side, I told my father to take off the fishs head.

I would not, could not eat that fish while its eyes stared back at me in condemnation. As I kept my eyes averted, my father lopped off the head and pushed the plate back over to me. He patiently explained how to remove the bones and chew the meat carefully. No longer hesitant, I poured the melted herb butter over the fish and dug in. It took me almost an hour to painstakingly strip the meat away from the bones and eat bite after small bite, paranoid about impaling the roof of my mouth with a fish bone. As I looked at the heap of bare bones with satisfaction, my parents were busily persuading me that, as delicious as the fish may have been, we really did not have time for me to eat another one.
