1. Just a little bit of research
before the enrollment session can
help. Students with no idea on
how to begin can contact peer ad-
visors; they will point the students
in the right direction.
2. Remember the logistics when
planning for classes. Is there time
to eat, sleep, study for classes? Is
there enough time between class-
es to get to the next class on time?
Is there time for club activities or
downtime? Having personal time
is important.
3. Think two steps ahead. Some
classes are only offered in the fall
or the spring. Some classes have
prerequisites. Students should
look further than just the next se-
mester, especially if they choose
an academic feld with very
prescribed requirements.
4. Dont forget about right
now. Even if next semester is all
planned out, students still need to
fnish this semester well. Get help
on planning the next semester
and remember to spend time on
working on this semesters goals.
5. Come talk to the advisors.
They will give honest evaluation
of student progress. They dont
just help with enrollment. They
are excellent sources of informa-
tion and can point students in the
right direction for more help.

Te dash for spring semester en-
rollment began as honors students
and athletes start enrolling today.
Te rest of the student body has
some time before their enrollment
appointment date. Seniors en-
rollment dates are Oct. 22 and 23;
juniors, Oct. 25 through 28; sopho-
mores Oct. 30 through Nov. 8 and
freshmens, Nov. 5 through 8.
Before the enrollment appoint-
ment date arrives, students have
to have an appointment with
an advisor from either the Un-
dergraduate Advising Center or
their specifc department. Here
are some tips and information to
help guide students through the
enrollment process.
ACADEMICS
Ready, set, enroll
Follow these suggestions to get the schedule you want next semester

SIGN UP EARLY FOR AN
ADVISING SESSION
Once students receive academic
notice through email, they should
log into their uPortal and look at the
enrollment appointment time. Stu-
dents should schedule an advising
session before the enrollment time.
After the notices are sent out, ad-
vising staffs schedules flls up
pretty quickly, especially with ad-
visors for specifc degrees, such as
engineering, nursing and business.
Students can sign up for appoint-
ments online through uPortals
advising tab or contact the offce
directly through phone or email.
LOOK AHEAD AT NEXT
SEMESTERS SCHEDULE
The schedule for the next semes-
ter is already up; students can look
at the times and make mock sched-
ules. Doing so will give the advisor
something to look at during the ad-
vising session. Students can also
browse the Universitys website to
narrow interests if they have sever-
al academic interests in mind.
BE HONEST IN THE
ADVISING MEETING
Advisors will suggest next semes-
ters schedule based on their as-
sessment of students success and
adjustment to the current semester.
Advisors want to get to know the
student to best help, and students
must be willing to communicate.
PUT CLASSES IN
THE SHOPPING CART
Before the actual date, students
can actually put in classes they
want in their Enroll & Pay shopping
cart ahead of time. On the actual
enrollment appointment time, stu-
dents just need to press the enroll
button on their shopping cart. Ad-
visors suggest students do this so
students have the best chance of
getting their planned schedule next
semester.
DONT PANIC IF SOME
CLASSES FALL THROUGH
Students can always contact
the Undergraduate Advising Cen-
ter. Peer advisors will talk to stu-
dents about alternative plans and
switching classes, even frst week
into next semester. That being said,
students may want to have substi-
tute classes as backup before the
enrollment date so that they dont
panic.
FOUR-YEAR PLAN
Between the time the semester
ends and registration for classes
begins in the spring, students can
make an appointment with the ad-
vising offce to make a four-year
plan. Currently, advising sessions
only last 30 minutes as advisors
want to work with as many stu-
dents as quickly as possible. Once
enrollment is over, however, advi-
sors will take hour-long appoint-
ments during which they can come
up with detailed plan for the rest of
students academic career.
ONLINE APPOINTMENT
SYSTEM
This is the frst year students can
sign up for advising appointments
online through uPortal. Online sign-
up allows students to see all the
available appointment times and
sign up for a time that works best
for them. Also, it saves the advis-
ing offce time by reducing the time
spent working out appointment
times through phone calls, voice
messages and emails. Students who
have trouble getting appointments
with their advisors before their en-
rollment appointment date should
directly contact the advising offce
for an appointment.
SOPHOMORES CAN OPT
IN TO KU CORE
Juniors and seniors remain under
General Education Degree Require-
ments while freshmen are under
the new KU Core requirements. This
years sophomores can choose to opt
into the KU Core. Under the KU Core,
more classes across all academic
felds will count toward degree prog-
ress. Incoming students with trans-
fer students or students with many
AP credits may be further along un-
der the GED requirements than un-
der the KU Core. Such students may
beneft from remaining under GED
system; KU Core is recommended
for other students. Advisors can help
evaluate whether GED or KU Core will
better suit individual students.
PEER ADVISORS
While peer advisors had always
provided help to students in man-
aging stresses and choosing class-
es and teachers, starting this year,
they can offcially help students plan
class schedules. Peer advisors will
leave advising notes under student
information on uPortals advising
tab. After a full-time advisor checks
the notes, students advising hold
will be lifted. Allowing peer advisors
to discuss student schedules allows
the advising offce to be more imme-
diate in their response to students
needing immediate attention.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013 PAGE 4A
I
think a lot about self-esteem,
which is to say that I wonder
how I might come by more of
it. Call it middle-child syndrome
or whatever, but nothing I ever do
feels good enough to take credit
for. Its a vicious cycle, because the
harder I try to attain perfection,
the more unattainable it seems.
But people need to see the value
in the things that we are accom-
plishing every single day. We can
let that be what drives us. Tose
little achievements can be fuel in
the tank on the road of life.
I once heard that self-esteem
comes through accomplishments,
so Ive set out to try to accom-
plish all sorts of diferent things.
But Ive only just realized that
accomplishment comes in all dif-
ferent shapes and sizes. Im always
held in awe of other peoples
drive. A friend of mine, a single
mother, works three jobs and
has at least one night each week
when she is scheduled for work
and school 36 hours straight.
Yet every morning, she is there
when her son wakes up. She takes
him to school and spends every
free moment with him as she is
positioning herself to give him the
best life possible. Tere are days
I dont want to get out of bed, but
she is my inspiration. Every damn
day is a battle to which she comes
armed with a smile. If she can do
that, I can drag myself out of bed
by 9 a.m.
Life wasnt great when I was
younger. I felt completely for-
gotten by everyone. I wanted
to die. Every waking day was
spent begging the gods to give
me strength to kill myself, but it
wasnt to be. One of my teachers
had handmade a card and gone
out of her way to get my class to
sign it (while I wasnt at school)
with something that they liked
about me, and I remember getting
the card and just sitting and
crying over it. One of my biggest
regrets is that, to this day, Ive
not yet expressed how much that
meant to me. Tat was perhaps,
to her, something small, but it
was life altering. Something that
only took people a few minutes
to do, changed and possibly saved
my life. Dont underestimate the
power that we can have to help
other people.
It isnt just things like that
though. Tere are so many
seemingly small things people do
that make me feel just a bit better
about the world I live in. Simple
things. Picking up a piece of trash
that they didnt necessarily drop.
Holding the door for someone.
Smiling at someone for no reason
other than possibly brightening
their day. Making it to an 8 a.m.
class. Looking before crossing the
street, or maybe waving thanks
to the car that had to slam on its
brakes not to hit you when you
forget to look both ways. Hell, the
person that didnt hit you deserves
credit too. Such small things can
make a world of diference to
somebody.
I have this incipient belief that
life is not a series of quick sprints.
Even major accomplishments can
only take us so far. In this mara-
thon we need something to drive
us forward each painful step. I
just want to point out that all of
those things we do, that seem so
small to us, could make a world of
diference to someone else. So lets
keep doing great things for each
other, and appreciate ourselves for
doing so.

engineering from Lawrence.

W
hen I was a sopho-
more in high school,
I met a holocaust
survivor living in my home
town. She came to visit my
honors English class, right afer
we had fnished reading the
novel Night, by Elie Wiesel.
Listening to her speak about her
experiences was simultaneously
heartbreaking and fascinating.
As she sat there, recounting the
horrors of her past, she gave the
entire class a stern look and said
something along the lines of:
Be careful who you pick as your
leaders, because all it takes is one
crook and the whole thing will
crumble. I will never forget that.
At the time, my classmates and
I thought that idea was a bit too
paranoidafer all, isnt America
based on a foundation of free-
doms that inherently opposes
tyranny? Had we not been learn-
ing about the government system
of checks-and-balances set up to
prevent a power overthrow since
grade school? Te idea seemed
simply impossible.
Yet the older I get, the more I
realize what she meant. As the
government shutdown has clear-
ly demonstrated, we need to pay
attention to the leaders we elect.
We are ill informedmore con-
cerned with Hollywood scandal
than public policy, more likely
to base our political opinions
on biased sources rather than
facts. With the growing division
between the Republican and
Democratic parties, its becom-
ing more and more important
that people of our generation
educate themselves on the issues
and really start considering our
future as a country.
Being an uneducated voter
is dangerous. When you dont
know the candidates you are
voting for, its easy to vote solely
of party bias, or simply choose
the names that look the most fa-
miliar, and this ofen means that
the best candidates for the job
arent being chosen. Sometimes
especially in an eternally-red
state like Kansas two candi-
dates from the same party might
run, but one will switch party
association so that both parties
are represented. And voting by
name recognition only means
that you are probably choosing
the candidate who had greatest
campaign funds, not necessarily
the candidate whose platforms
you most agree with. And to top
it of, sometimes these politicians
are not even true natives to the
state that they end up represent-
ing.
Its frustrating to think about
the government shutdown
and how powerless we are in
preventing or fxing it. How
can we hold our politicians
accountable when they are the
ones who design and pass our
bills and regulations? Teir
ability to exclude themselves
from the consequences of their
own legislation is, in itself, a
form of corruption. I honestly
think that if Tomas Jeferson
were alive today, he would tell
us (afer having a massive stroke
of shock upon seeing what our
country has become) that this is
what your right to bear arms is
for, people!
But that may be an exaggera-
tion. Te truth is, this isnt the
frst time the government has
shut down, and though it feels
a whole lot like Congress is
unable to fulfll the most basic
of their duties, it would still
be a bit ridiculous to resort to
violence. However, though we
dont have the power to simply
upend congress at the moment,
midterm elections will be upon
us sooner than you think (about
one year from now), and it is our
duty as citizens to use this up-
coming election as a way to hold
Congress (and all of our political
leaders) accountable.
So go online and do some
research on your representatives,
and fnd out whether you are
happy with the job they are do-
ing or not. And when midterm
elections come around, dont
forget to vote!

W
hen was the last time
you made a piece of
art? Unless you have
a creative hobby or an artistic
major, your answer is probably
never. Yet in todays online
world, average users are flling
the roles of artists. Mass media
has put the creative tools into
everyones hands.
Tink about it. Some of the
most visited websites in the world
exist solely for user-generated
content Wikipedia, Blogspot,
YouTube, eBay, Flickr and most
importantly, social media sites.
Without these websites and apps,
people wouldnt be exposed to the
world of multimedia.
When I was 12, I started making
YouTube videos because I saw
people doing cool things online
and wanted to emulate them. My
videos were absolutely horrible,
but I was inspired. Now, I hold
two jobs where I produce and
teach video. Without the back-
ground of YouTube and Face-
book, I never would have realized
my passion for multimedia and
journalism.
I know Im not the only one;
currently, 18-34 year olds are the
highest proportion of smartphone
users, meaning they have cameras
and quick access to online post-
ing. Over half of Facebook users
are in the same demographic.
When I started out, I just had a
point-and-shoot camera and the
barebones Windows Movie Mak-
er sofware to work with. As tech-
nology develops and social media
grows, more people are learning
how to create multimedia.
Te rise of Vine is a great
example of creativity being
expressed through social media.
Vines six-second parameters
challenge us to think critical-
ly about how we will transmit
our joke/thought/message. Te
convenience of a web app also lets
anyone enjoy the satisfaction of
producing a video.
Tis has led to us broadcasting
our lives as they happen, and
arguments have arisen that social
media is distracting us from our
experiences. However, I think
it becomes a cathartic part of
our existence. Trough writing,
photographing, recording and
posting, we paint a picture of our
world. We are artists, and our
lives are our subject matter.
Social media is constructed
perfectly for this because of the
instant feedback. People follow
and like our content, or per-
haps even share it with others.
Immediate responses create a
direct audience for our work that
is vital for motivation. Te more
favorites or retweets you get, the
more likely you are to continue to
use Twitter.
So, were artists. Were creators.
Where are the consumers?
With everyone producing at
such a rapid rate, social media
becomes an immersive expe-
rience. We see what others are
creating and contribute to the
cycle. Also, understanding what it
takes to develop content causes us
to raise our standards for what we
consume. Look at television. In
the era where overall viewership
is declining, Breaking Bad broke
records for the most watched
television broadcast ever with
10.3 million viewers. Everyone is
consuming. Additionally, Grand
Tef Auto 5 sold over $1 billion
in three days and broke the
record for the highest revenue
generated by an entertainment
product in 24 hours.
So what does this mean? Next
time youre looking at yourself
in the front facing camera, think
about how youre capturing
your life. Tink about how you
consume media. Te markets will
follow as younger generations
whove grown up producing
media hit the work force. Social
media will continue to be an
important part of our lives. How
will it be a part of your life?

Pearl Jam releases tenth
album to suit many moods
Recycle this paper
Afer 23 years, one of the orig-
inal grunge bands out of Seattle
released their 10th full-length
album this week. Pearl Jam, best
known for their singles Jeremy
and Yellow Ledbetter, released
Lightning Bolt on Tuesday on
the bands own record label, Mon-
keywrench.
Te album revisits the forever
familiar sound that can be iden-
tifed only as Pearl Jam, andas
alwaysmost of the punch in the
songs comes from the lyrical con-
tent composed by frontman Eddie
Vedder, whose voice is commonly
pseudo-trademarked to 90s rock
bands from Seattle.
From his opening lyrics on the
frst track Getaway, that discuss
the diferences and similarities
between separate individuals
thoughts, to the slowed-down,
melancholic piano and hopeful
lyrics on the closing track Future
Days, there is something for ev-
ery fan of grunge-rock and alter-
native-rock in general.
But lyrics arent the only thing
to talk about. As always, lead
guitarist Mike McCready deliv-
ers the fast-paced sound on the
second track, Mind Your Man-
ners, that is similar to the hard,
upbeat sound of older Pearl Jam
hits like Go and Even Flow.
Tese tracks provide a good
change of pace as well as a vari-
ety for listeners to choose from
depending on their mood.
Te album sounds most simi-
lar to their previous release from
2009, Backspacer, and in the last
four years, it is evident that their
sound has grown somebut not
too much. Te sound is still Pearl
Jam, and for people who are al-
ready fans of Pearl Jam, that will
probably be a good thing. With
that being said, the album does
not give way for developing a
larger fan-base from those who
are not already fans of Pearl Jam
or 90s rock.
Lightning Bolt would be
well-recommended for music lov-
ers who are fans of bands such as
Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden,
Audioslave, Nirvana and Stone
Temple Pilots.

A renowned Berlin antiqui-
ties museum is trying to get
back an ancient gold tablet
excavated from an Assyrian
temple that a Holocaust sur-
vivor somehow obtained afer
World War II.
Who gets it is up to New
York's top court, which is set
to hear arguments Tuesday.
Te 9.5-gram tablet, about
the size of a credit card, was
excavated a century ago by
German archaeologists from
the Ishtar Temple in what is
now northern Iraq. It went on
display in Berlin in 1934, was
put in storage as the war began
and later disappeared.
Riven Flamenbaum brought it to
the U.S. afer surviving the Aus-
chwitz concentration camp and
settling on Long Island. Family
lore says he had traded two packs
of cigarettes to a Russian sol-
dier for the tablet in the cha-
otic days at the end of the war.
Flamenbaum's family is try-
ing to keep the 3,200-year-old
relic, arguing the museum for-
feited any claim to ownership
by waiting 60 years to seek its
return.
Lawyers for the Vorderasi-
atisches Museum, a branch of
the Pergamon Museum, said
it didn't know Flamenbaum
had the tablet until 2006, three
years afer he died.
Steven Schlesinger, the law-
yer representing the estate,
said any claim is complicated
by the passage of so much time
and Flamenbaum's death. He
said he believes Flamenbaum
was trading Red Cross packag-
es and anything else he could
get for silver and gold.
Te tablet is now in a safe
deposit box in New York. One
recent estimate put its value at
$10 million, he said, and the
family wants to donate it to the
Holocaust Museum in Wash-
ington.
According to court docu-
ments, the tablet dates to 1243
to 1207 B.C., the reign of King
Tukulti-Ninurta I of Assyria.
Placed in the foundation of the
temple of a fertility goddess, its
21 lines call on those who fnd the
temple to honor the king's name.
Te tablet was excavated by Ger-
man archaeologists from about
1908 to 1914 in what was then the
Ottoman Empire, with Germany
giving half the found antiquities
to Istanbul, Raymond Dowd, the
museums lawyer, said. Te mod-
ern state of Iraq has declined to
claim it, he said.

Attorney Raymond Dowd argues on behalf of a Berlin museum that an ancient gold
tablet that a Holocaust survivor somehow obtained after World War II be returned to
the museum on Tuesday at the New York State Court of Appeals in Albany, N.Y.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 6A
While I am not condoning ig-
noring your schoolwork and blow-
ing your life savings at Te Hawk,
your college years consist of the
few times in your life that you will
have the chance to make reckless
memories and face the world with
your newfound independence. Tis
Saturday, I will have been on this
Earth for two decades. While I still
have so much to experience and
learn, there are a few things that we
all should know before its time to
blow out those 20 candles.
1. MANAGE MONEY
Budgeting is absolutely the key to
fnancial stability. While seemingly
tedious and time consuming, if you
sit down and organize your assets,
you will be much less likely to blow
it all in one place. Set aside certain
amounts of money per month for
groceries, gas, rent and other ne-
cessities. Avoid a debt hangover
and be fnancially conscious when-
ever you can.
2. RELATIONSHIPS
Fall hopelessly, madly in love.
And then change your mind. Stay
single for a while, or take a leap of
faith and ask out your crush. But
above all, fnd someone that makes
you happy and most importantly,
respects you. Sometimes we just
need to stop analyzing the past,
fguring out how we feel, deciding
what we want, and simply just wait
and see what happens.
3. MAKE MISTAKES
It may be cliche, but now is the
time to live and learn. We are all
going to experience our fair share
of setbacks, but how we overcome
and move on from lifes obstacles
defnes our character.
4. COOK MORE THAN CEREAL
All sexist sandwich jokes aside, by
the time you hit your twenties, girls
AND boys should have a few solid
recipes to fall back on.
5. STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTH-
ER PEOPLE THINK
Tis can be the hardest aspect of
life to overcome. Embrace your
individuality, be thankful for what
makes you diferent and realize that
trying to please everyone is an im-
possible task.
6. WRITE A COVER LETTER
As our entrance into the com-
petitive job market approaches, it
is essential to have the knowledge
to stand out from other applicants.
Tere is no better opportunity to
efectively convey your skills and
all the reasons why you should be
hired. While seemingly old fash-
ioned, cover letters can make or
break your frst impression to an
employer.
7. HOW TO DANCE
Develop a sense of rhythm and
realize that twerking is not a life
skill unless your career path is
inspired by Miley Cyrus.
8. CALL YOUR PARENTS
While you may have not fully
realized it yet, your family is ul-
timately the most infuential and
important people in your life. Tey
are the ones who raised you, taught
you right from wrong and gave
you the skills to succeed. A simple
phone call, text or email is worth
far more than you know.
9. SAY YES TO NEW ADVENTURES
Even if it scares you a little bit,
do it. Most things worthwhile in
life probably will. Your 20s are the
perfect time to explore and fnd
yourself. Dont worry about settling
down or making big life decisions.
Study abroad or road trip to the
beach with your friends. Dont stay
tied down to anyone or anything.
10. APPRECIATE FRIENDSHIPS
Enjoy the closeness you feel with
your friends while it lasts, because
as the years pass, you may lose
contact with the people you asso-
ciated with in high school and col-
lege. Cherish every second as your
friends are the ones who will have a
signifcant impact on your life.

Ten things students should
know before turning 20
BRUSSELS Te alleged pi-
rate kingpin thought he was going
work in the movies. Instead he
landed in jail.
In a sting operation worthy of
Hollywood, Mohamed Abdi Has-
san was lured from Somalia to
Belgium with promises of work
on a documentary about high-
seas crime that would "mirror his
life as a pirate," federal prosecutor
Johan Delmulle said Monday.
But rather than being behind the
camera as an expert adviser, Abdi
Hassan ended up behind bars,
nabbed as he landed Saturday at
Brussels airport.
"(He's) one of the most import-
ant and infamous kingpin pirate
leaders, responsible for the hijack-
ing of dozens of commercial ves-
sels from 2008 to 2013," Delmulle
said.
Abdi Hassan whose nick-
name, Afweyne, means "Big
Mouth" was charged with hi-
jacking the Belgian dredger Pom-
pei and kidnapping its nine-mem-
ber crew in 2009, Delmulle said.
Te Pompei's crew was released
afer 10 weeks in captivity when
the ship's owner paid a report-
ed $3 million ransom. Belgium
caught two pirates involved in
the hijacking, convicted them and
sentenced them to nine and 10
years in prison.
But prosecutors still wanted the
ringleaders.
"Too ofen, these people remain
beyond reach while they let others
do the dirty work," Delmulle told
reporters.

In this undated handout photo provided by the Belgian government, the Belgian ship Pompei is shown in unidentifed
waters. One of Somalias most notorious pirate leaders, Mohamed Abdi Hassan, was arrested in Brussels on Oct. 12 and
placed in custody pending charges of hijacking the Pompei and kidnapping its crew in 2009.
