EDITORS NOTE
My first encounter with a homeless person was in Washington, D.C. I was about 12 and we were walking across the Mall with my family, including my 80-year-old grandmother. A scragglylooking older gentleman wearing a patched olive green trench coat and finger gloves approached my grandmother (who was definitely the least likely to take pity on him) and asked for money. When my grandmother refused, he persisted, But Im hungry, Im hungry. Please, Im hungry. My grandmas tough exterior wilted and she gave the man some spare change. He gratefully bowed and scuttled off. Carolyn Tharps article investigates the homeless population that lives here in Lawrence and shows that these less fortunate residents still have many stories to tell. Stories that would definitely melt even my grandmas hardened heart.

SUPERFOODS:
by Melissa Byrd
BITE
When it comes down to it, superfoods are the epitome of good nutrition.
Jamie Booth, Lebow senior, says tomatoes are her favorite superfood she likes to eat them whole and while she thinks superfoods are undeniably healthy, she is skeptical as to whether they prevent diseases. Joshua Ehrenfeld, Springfield, Mo. senior, cites turkey as his superfood of choice. He is unsure of the benefits as well, but says hes heard they can slow the aging process. While its probably premature to dub superfoods as the new fountain of youth or the cure for cancer, theres no doubt these foods are chock-full of nutritional value. When it comes down to it, superfoods are the epitome of good nutrition. So, really, what dietitians have been attempting to get us to eat for years is finally the diet du jour. And its all right there in your local supermarket. Just browse the produce aisle, the deli and the bakery. The bottom line is that lots of different foods are good for us but no one magical food can provide all the nutrients we need, says Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Clevidence, the USDA researcher, takes it one step further. Consuming these foods is only one aspect of a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, weight maintenance, strong social ties, adequate sleep and a non-smoking environment, she says. Super-duper.

Like it or not, the wedge has wedged its way back into style and into your closet. Stocked on the shelves now, but locked on your feet when the weather turns, youll soon spot these corked platforms out and about. But dont bust out your pedicure too quickly, girls. You have to use discretion with these thick-soled throwbacks. If youre going to step it up, make sure you pair them with something light and fun like cuffed capri pants or a springy skirt. Long jeans and bulky sweaters wont work with this funky footwear, so save them for a warm day. Liz Nartowicz

courthouse, check guilty on the ticket and pay double the fine anytime before your court date. It gets removed completely from your record. However, attorney Leiding says it is well worth the effort to go for the court appearance, plead non-guilty and be ready to defend your case. Remember, the officer has to prove your guilt and to do so, they have to establish that the radar was in working order and used appropriately. Sometimes they forget to do this. He also says half the time the officer doesnt even show up, because they are too busy to go to court. In both cases, your ticket will be thrown out and you dont have to pay a thing. All baseless legal advice aside, just be a defensive driver. Youre not the only one whos been reading this article intently.

experience, he says. Satisfying or not, some do make the mistake of having sex before theyre ready. If youre not ready, London says, you may feel regret, frustration or heartache. She says to ask yourself how youll feel about yourself and the other person afterward. If you can honestly say youll feel good about it, and youll look forward to seeing the other person, youre probably ready, she says. If you have concerns or worries, theres no reason to rush into it. Step 4: Sex isnt everything Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to have a loving relationship without sex. Theres a long list of things people can do that are relevant, enjoyable and for a lot of people, a whole heck of a lot more satisfying than intercourse, Dailey says. Students agree. Sex is healthy in a solid relationship, though not essential, Adam says. It does build a special bond and connection between two people that other activities cant create, he says. Coe, who has been in both sexual and non-sexual relationships, says sex isnt that important to a relationship. A relationship is about the person youre with, not about what you do with them, he says. The first time you have sex is a milestone; remember, it only happens once. If you have doubts, dont do it. Sex is great dont cheat it by forcing it.

They start lining up in the hallway around 6:30 a.m. Sleepy-eyed but ready for breakfast, some make small talk while others sit quietly waiting for the doors to open and veteran volunteer Clark Keffer to call, Good morning and welcome to the Jubilee Caf. At 7, the crowd shuffles into the churchs dining hall. The aroma of bacon and coffee floats through the air as people find their way to tables. Regulars take their usual seats, and new guests fill the others. They come from all over the country, from Tennessee to Washington. At table 14, Louis quietly sips on his coffee and looks over the newspaper. You cant understand Howards muffled slur because hes lost most of his teeth in his old age, but it doesnt really matter because he cant hear you very well anyway. Bill keeps mostly to himself, but smiles at people as they pass. Volunteers walk around with menus to take the guests breakfast orders. Ten minutes later the kitchen echoes with shouts of servers names as orders slide across the counter, ready to go to their tables. Guests munch on biscuits and gravy and apple cinnamon pancakes, and the caf comes to life. A dull roar rises as hellos are shouted and the latest news is exchanged. Jays laugh echoes through the dining hall as he talks with his buddies about last nights rerun of In Living Color. These people eat together, sleep together and live together. Some arent very clean. Some arent very sane. They come from the Deep South and western Kansas, from small towns and inner cities, from broken homes and loving families. But they have one thing in common: they are homeless. Homeless people are often invisible, says Keffer, Lawrence resident and one of the founders of the Jubilee Caf, 946 Vermont St. Theyre given a number and food is slopped onto their plates at a soup
134 homeless individuals showed that 71 percent were men, according to the panel. Raleigh Worthington, Lawrence resident, has been homeless for a little more than a year. He remembers the exact day he became homeless: Oct.. 4, 2004. After losing his job and using up his unemployment benefits from the government, Worthington found himself on the street. He now spends his days doing laundry, reading at the public library, looking for work and dumpsterdiving. He goes around town picking up aluminum cans and other metals to recycle.

kitchen. They sleep on a thin mat on the floor of a gymnasium with the lights partly dimmed. They wander around town with nowhere to go and nothing to do, because theres not anything or anyone out there for them, Keffer says. Although they live in the same city as students, faculty and people who work downtown, life on the street is a far cry from the suburbia that so many KU students know. For those living on the street, the life seen on TV is like make-believe, Keffer says. It seems so superficial. Its normal life to a lot of people, but its still fantasy to homeless people. Its so out there for them.
I feel alone a lot. Youre surrounded by a lot of people all the time, so youre not really lonely, but you still feel alone.
Raleigh Worthington, left, and Donald, right, cross Massachusetts Street at South Park. The two are on their way to clean out a trailer near the south side of town. Besides unemployment, many people are homeless because of mental illness. Back at Jubilee, a man clad in protective earmuffs is talking to himself and eating breakfast. A man in a dirty, down-filled coat and silent headphones stares blankly into space. Another man tells a volunteer his newest conspiracy theory about why the governor needs to be impeached. Approximately 23 percent of the single adult homeless population suffers from some form of severe and persistent mental illness, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless. A huge percentage of the chronically homeless is mentally ill, which can make it hard to have and maintain a job, Henderson says. Alcohol and drug addiction are also huge factors behind homelessness. Keffer, one of the founders of Jubilee Caf, was homeless from 1976 to 1980. The only thing he brought back from the Vietnam War, he says, was his alcoholism. He couldnt hold a job and never had any money because hed drink it all up, he recalls. In his drinking days, he would leave Lawrence when his relatives were in town. It was easier to be homeless some place else. He didnt want to embarrass his family with his alcoholism, he says. He hitchhiked from town to town, never staying anywhere more than a few days, sleeping on highway on-ramps and camping outside city limits. The longest time he ever spent in one place was a couple of weeks maybe. Keffler will never forget Dec. 18, 1978, he says, because its the day that changed his life. While driving 50 miles per hour, he slammed his motorcycle into a passing car. He wasnt wearing a helmet. And he had been drinking. Everything I knew my whole life was gone like that, Keffer says, snapping his fingers. He lived through the accident but no longer can use his left arm, which he now tightly straps in a sling across his chest. After 20 years of atrophy, the injured arm is significantly smaller than his right one. After his accident, Keffer decided to get sober. The mental, physical and spiritual bankruptcy of drinking led him to recover, he says. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous and has been sober since Feb. 17, 1983. Some of the guests Keffer serves at Jubilee are sober. Others arent. You can smell the alcohol as they enter the dining hall, still drunk from the day before. They stumble to their chairs and drink cup after cup of coffee in a vain attempt to get sober. Of the two shelters in Lawrence, LCS classifies as a wet shelter, meaning that people dont have to be sober to sleep there. LCS provides 21 sleeping spaces, but its working to add 10 more, says Henderson, LCS director. At the Salvation Army, however, the staff performs Breathalyzer tests at the door after 8 p.m. Its not a zero-tolerance shelter though, says Mathew Faulk, case manager at the Salvation Army. The shelter has a limit of .04 percent, which is equivalent to a few beers, Faulk says. The Salvation Army has a capacity of 85, and it usually holds about 50 people a night. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 Trying to get off the street The most difficult thing about being homeless is getting a job, says Leighton Watts, Lawrence resident. Watts, a 23-year-old Kansas City, Kan. native, spent six months at the Salvation Army while searching for a job and a home. Most job applications require an address. Homeless people dont have one. Watts would put his Kansas City, Kan., address on job applications, and, if confronted about it, he would say he was new to town and not settled yet. Most employers want people to already be self-sufficient, Keffer says. Seeing a question for a drivers license or telephone number may not seem like a big deal, but, to homeless people, it can be discouraging. They dont have anything to fill in the blank. Worthington has worked construction, at the K-Mart distribution center and other odd jobs, but none of them were permanent. In fact, he has shuffled through so many jobs that he talks about losing work like its a regular event. He casually describes his last job, where he poured cement. He thought it was stable. But then, he adds, I guess it wasnt. After a while, you come to learn that nothing is permanent, Worthington says. But if you have a job, you can at least look down the tunnel and see the light. You may not be able to get down there yet, but you know you can continue to work and sustain yourself. Most jobs available to homeless people are short-term, pick-up jobs, Henderson says. Employers call LCS for day-job arrangements, which are mostly manual labor tasks like raking leaves, cleaning out old homes or moving and lifting. The National Coalition for the Homeless calls these types of arrangements non-standard work. Approximately 30 percent of workers in 1997 had non-standard jobs, which typically offer low wages and few community. In 1994, he helped found benefits, NCH says. For people like the Jubilee Caf as a way to give back, Worthington, there arent many other and hes been helping ever since. options. Were like a chain.

Jessica: I dont think your boyfriend needs to know that your ex is still hung up on you. However, if youre still hung up on your ex and his calls elicit feelings and sparks from you, the new guy needs to know. Not still into your ex? Tell him to back off so you can pursue this new relationship with the new man. Hopefully, hell respect that. If he doesnt, grow a mustache. From what Ive heard, thats, like, the biggest turn-off ever. Brian: Yes, you need to tell your new boyfriend. In fact, let him take care of the guy. Next time Mr. Ex calls, let your current boyfriend answer the phone. By giving your new boyfriend this type of responsibility, itll show him that you trust him to take care of and protect you. Basically, hell feel more manly and special. (Yes, we men like to feel special and needed too!) Have him talk to Mr. Ex, explain to him that he is your new boyfriend and make sure he establishes that Mr. Ex shouldnt be calling you anymore. An ideal sentence to get this point across would include the words hacksaw, pliers and testicles. Good luck!

Freedomland
MOVIE
Youd think a film would be at least decent with such veteran and talented actors as Julianne Moore, Edie Falco and Samuel L. Jackson in the title roles. Freedomland has all three actors and still manages to be a clichd, stereotypical mess of a thriller. Advertised as a film dealing with child kidnapping and racial tension in an urban neighborhood, Freedomland
fails to deliver either. The talented Julianne Moore plays a poorly educated, mentally unstable mother. After her son is inadvertently kidnapped during a carjacking, Samuel
L. Jacksons character, a seasoned cop, steps in to help find the boy. Edie Falco plays a neighborhood mother who is the head of a missing child retrieval group. What follows is a plot ridden with too many stories to tell. The film tries, and fails, to focus on four different stories; all feel abrupt. While Freedomland has its emotionally engaging moments, mostly in Moore and Falcos scenes, the majority of the plot feels like a regurgitated, predictable Law and Order episode. One of the reasons for the films failure is in the meager script. Moore and Jacksons characters become so excessive its almost laughable. All the supporting characters are ridiculously unoriginal: the angry, abrasive white cop,
the abusive black men and the sassy black woman, whose mere presence becomes a display of racial stereotypes. Falco gives the most genuine performance and is quite moving. Moore gives her character an emotional depth that is potent at times. Jackson, despite being the main star in the film, does not impress, although he does deliver a few laughs. Freedomland has tender and painful moments of genuine emotion, but, for the most part, the film is a genuine waste of talent. South Wind 12 Rated: R, 113 minutes

Date Movie
MOVIE
A very wise character named David St. Hubbins once said, There is such a fine line between stupid and clever. I would usually agree wholeheartedly with the lead singer of Spinal Tap, but in the case of Date Movie, a Scary Movie for romantic comedies, that fine line is as wide as a river. Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan) is an overweight waitress working at her fathers diner (My Big Fat Greek Wedding). She meets a somewhat handsome British Hansellook-alike (a la Zoolander) and, in order to catch his eye, goes to see the date doctor, Hitch (Hitch). Once she wins his heart, she must deal with sparring parents (Meet the Parents) and her fiancs conniving best friend (My Best Friends Wedding). Many other references, puns and scenes refer to the bountiful genre of romantic comedies. Others come out of nowhere, like references to Kill Bill, or are thrown in haphazardly (e.g. Napoleon Dynamite and Wedding Crashers). Most

of these jokes make you cringe, wince, roll your eyes or want to leave the theater rather than make you laugh. My only true guffaw came courtesy of Chris Harrison, host of The Bachelor, because I was shocked they actually got him to appear. But back to the fine line between stupid and clever. Date Movie shows no hint of cleverness, just plain stupidity and crassness. It prefers to beat you over the head with pop culture citations (Paris Hiltons Carls Jr. burger commercial) and ill-timed rap songs, all of which cause a disgusted shake of the head. I mistakenly had high hopes for Date Movie. I hoped it would treat pop culture satire with respect, like Shrek. I even recommended it in Jayplay Says. All I can say now is . . . Im sorry.

SCOTT KASERMAN
possibly chosen her over me went circling through my head in neverending rotation. I wasnt pretty enough for him and my hair wasnt just right. I had spent too much time concentrating on my schoolwork and hadnt said I love you enough. I didnt make him feel needed. I just wasnt enough. Then, in a chance encounter, everything changed. A mutual friend invited me to a graduation party, which quickly turned into a night of drunken happiness at a nearby bar. There I was, sitting at a table, light-headed and sipping on my third Cape Cod, when my ex and his new girlfriend walked in and approached our table. My heart jumped into my throat. I shot into the ladies room for a quick panic attack. To my horror, I returned to find the happy couple now sitting at my table. Who did they think they were? This was my night out and, up until then, I had been having a really good time. After nervously retaking my seat,
I took the opportunity to size up this new woman. She was tall, with a solid frame and dirty-blond hair. She was outgoing and talkative, like me. She sat close to him and rubbed his upper thigh with her hand. For some reason, I began to see myself in her. So, 10 excruciating minutes and another Cape Cod later, I decided to do something that surprised even me. I reached my hand across the table and introduced myself to her. We didnt magically become best friends and introducing myself didnt take away all of the hurt and resentment I still felt inside, but it was at that point when I started to heal. I proved to myself that I could stay strong through even the most difficult situation. That deep down inside I am not only a loving person, but someone with dignity and selfrespect. And hindsight is a magical thing. Its taught me some very important lessons about love and life over the past year. First, there is a perfect man
for me out there, somewhere, but my ex wasnt him. This experience has given me a better understanding of the kind of man I want to spend the rest of my life with and the kind of man that doesnt deserve a second glance. Second, the best in people comes out in the worst of times. In the last 12 months, Ive formed tighter relationships with my family and closest friends than I could have ever imagined. Ive learned that a mother sheds the most tears when her child is hurting. Ive learned that a brother will turn his back on a friendship and fraternity brother to defend his older sister. And that a best friend sometimes has to delete your exs number from her cell phone so that she cant call him to cuss him out. Third, as clich as it might sound, hindsight has taught me that there are no promises in life, and that you should never stop looking for that one, true love.
