Its a balmy Friday afernoon in
June. Te sun is high and a smatter-
ing of clouds ofer minimal shade
for the swimmers and sunbathers
around the pool at Tuckaway apart-
ment complex, 2600 West 6th St. Kel-
ly Flynn and Kate Johnson, both se-
niors, wade in the pool for their daily
post-class ritual working on their
tans. In spite of years of data dem-
onstrating the correlation between
skin cancer and sun exposure, vanity
trumps caution.
Tis sounds horrible, but I would
rather look good now than worry
about a possibility of cancer way in
the future, Flynn said.
Johnson agreed.
Its that whole being young, dumb
and having an invincible mindset,
she said.
Tat mindset may be common, but
the Food and Drug Administration is
making it easier than ever to see the
dangers in sun exposure by changing
the language of sunscreen.
Reynold Tan, an interdisciplinary
scientist at the FDA, said he hoped
the newly announced standards for
sunscreen labeling would better edu-
cate the public about the importance
of skin protection.
Tere are a lot of words used in
sunscreen marketing that have been
redefned, Tan said. And the lan-
guage companies use to market their
products is going to come under
greater scrutiny.
Newly prohibited marketing words
include sunblock, waterproof, sweat-
proof and any SPF above 50.
Sunblock implies that a person
is completely protected from harm-
ful rays. Tat simply will never be the
case, Tan said.
Rather than hailing a product as
waterproof or sweatproof, sunscreens
must be labeled water- or sweat-
resistant and the amount of time the
product lasts must be listed next to
the claim of resistance. No product
can claim to last for more than two
hours. Currently, the term broad-
spectrum can be found on many
sunscreens. New regulations defne
broad-spectrum as a sunscreen that
protects against both UVA and UVB
rays. Only broad-spectrum sun-
screens aid in cancer and premature
aging risk reduction.
Flynn and Johnson had brought
three diferent sunscreens ranging
from SPF 4 to 15 to the pool with
them. Flynn only uses sunscreen if
she is burnt from the day before.
My main motivation is avoiding
pain or a goofy tan it is less about
the health benefts, Flynn said.
Tis is not efective, Tan said.
Tanning oils or anything less than
an SPF 15 will prevent burns only;
they do not adequately protect the
skin from the UVA and UVB rays,
Tan said.
Patty Quinlan, supervisor of nurs-
ing at Watkins Memorial Health
Center, said that, during her 24 years
treating college students, she has seen
serious burns from the sun.
Students come in with blisters
all over their body. Te pain is enor-
mous, Quinlan said.
In severe cases a person may feel
nauseous, lightheaded, weak and
feverish. Quinlan compared severe
sunburns to burns sustained from
curling irons or fames.
Sunburns are like any other burn.
Tey cause cell necrosis, Quinlan
said.
Cell necrosis, the premature death
of cells and living tissue, causes ir-
reversible and long-lasting damage
to the skin. Although skin cancer is
relatively rare in people between 20
and 26, accounting for less than 1
percent of skin cancer cases, damage
done during those years increases the
risk of a cancer diagnosis later in life.
Increasing rates of skin cancer and
new information on the harmful ef-
fects of UVA rays recently prompted
the FDA to act. According to the Skin
Cancer Foundation, about 90 percent
of nonmelanoma skin cancers are as-
sociated with exposure to UVA rays
from the sun. Treatment of non-
melanoma skin cancers increased by
nearly 77 percent between 1992 and
2006.
Te FDA suggests people apply a
liberal amount of sunscreen, which is
about the size of a golf ball. Tey also
recommend reapplying sunscreen
every two hours. People should avoid
extended exposure between 10 a.m.
and 2 p.m., wear long sleeves, hats
and sunglasses.
Tese precautions should be taken
every day all year round. Many people
think they only need sunscreen while
at the pool in the middle of August,
Tan said. Tat is not the case.
While no one is exempt from the
dangers of sun exposure, people with
fair skin, a family history of cancer
and high rates of exposure to the sun
are the most at risk.
Students such as Flynn and John-
son dont have to sacrifce their
bronze glow for their health. Sun-
screen still allows the skin to develop
color. Te process may be slower, but
experts say its better for your health.

A new statewide law changing
punishments for driving under the
infuence will go into efect July 1.
Defense attorney Brian Leininger
said that there are two major chang-
es to the law. Under the new law, all
DUI ofenders will be required to
install an ignition interlock device
in their vehicle for a year. Te of-
fender will bear all costs associated
with the ignition interlock device.
Another change includes how far
the state can look into an ofenders
background. Previously, the state
would look at a persons entire re-
cord. Afer the law goes into efect,
the state can only go back as far as
2001. Nothing before that will be
used against an ofender.
Jay Norton, an attorney from
Kansas City, said if a driver tests as
having blood alcohol content be-
tween .08 and .15, he or she will be
required to serve a 30-day suspen-
sion of license, followed by 180 days
or six months of driving with an ig-
nition interlock.
Ignition interlocks may be man-
dated for other sentences, includ-
ing: open container, minor in pos-
session/consumption and habitual
violator statute. Tose convicted of
any of these will have to serve 45
days of the suspension frst, then
the Department of Revenue will re-
instate the license and they will use
the interlock.
Bill Larzalere, the Universitys
chief litigation attorney, said that
this is actually a good thing. Under
the present law, if you have been
convicted of a DUI, your license is
suspended for a year and you cant
operate a vehicle at all. Under the
new law, one can drive as long as
they have the ignition interlock de-
vice, he said.
Interlock devices are sold through
private companies. Smartstartinc.
com has a diferent installation price
for each state. For Kansas, the in-
stallation fee and frst-month lease
is $123 and afer that, $73 a month.
Tere is a $35 fee to uninstall your
device. One year using the device
would cost $961.
If you do get pulled over, if youre
really drunk and have prior ofense,
I would tell them not to take the
breath test, he said.
A huge change in the bill is that
state DUI records are being ex-
punged or swept clean afer 10
years, Larzalere said.
Norton said DUI convictions and
diversions before July 1, 2001, do
not count as previous convictions.
Larzalere said that he would ad-
vise students to not drink and drive
at all but if they fnd themselves in
the situation, to not incriminate
themselves. Te less thats in the
report the less they have to convict
you, he said.
Dont say Ive only had two
beers, Larzalere said.
When you are pulled over, the
police cant make students take the
feld sobriety test, Lazalere said. He
would encourage students not take
the feld test. However, refusing the
Breathalyzer is a crime.
If they have not said anything, did
not take a feld test, etc. the ofcer
has no report on them besides that
he pulled them over for whatever
reason. Take the Breathalyzer at the
station; however, the police ofcer
is required to give you two forms to
read and sign.
Students who came in they were
using the old forms, and if they used
the old forms and not the new ones
then that breath test isnt valid,
Larzalere said.
Te forms are called DC27 and
DC70. When students fll out the
DC27 they have 10 days to request
a hearing.
Leininger said that if students do
get pulled over and they are a frst
time ofender, the best thing to do is
to not be rude or belligerent.
Of course the best rule is to not
drink and drive. Always have a des-
ignated driver, friend or call SafeR-
ide at 785-864-4644.

Sue Lorenz, the director of the
study abroad program, has a map of
the world painted onto a wall in her
ofce. Since she took her position
two years ago, she has ofen looked
at the map and counted the number
of countries within social or environ-
mental chaos to which the University
of Kansas is barred from sending
students.
Te University prohibits the study
abroad program from sending any
undergraduate students to countries
with travel warnings issued by the
U.S. State Department. However,
Lorenz said her department is dis-
cussing the creation of a committee
to explore changing the university
policy.
Tere are movements and other
kinds of things happening around
the world that cause us various prob-
lems, Lorenz said.
Te current policy applies not only
to the study abroad program but to
several other traveling entities at the
college. It is designed to put safety
frst in every conceivable situation.
Graduate students and faculty can
petition to have exceptions issued in
certain situations, but those occur-
rences are rare.
Traditionally the precedent is that
we do not send students to countries
where there are State Department
advisories, period, Hodgie Bricke,
assistant vice provost of international
studies, said.
When a tsunami hit eastern Japan
on March 11, the State Department
issued a travel warning that applied
to the entire country. Following uni-
versity policy, the study abroad pro-
gram moved to withdraw all KU stu-
dents from the country, even those
far from the area of impact. Shortly
afer the students were ordered to
fee Japan, the State Department lif-
ed the travel warning.
Te ordeal in Japan spurred the
study abroad programs desire to ex-
amine the Universitys wide-sweep-
ing policy, Lorenz said.
Te policy is pretty direct in what
it says right now, Lorenz said. Tere
is some discussion about whether
the Universitys upper administra-
tion should decide whether they
should implement a more complex
policy that might allow for sections
when dealing with undergraduate
students.
Te committee would not operate
out of the study abroad ofce, Lorenz
said, and it would be composed of
upper administration ofcials, legal
experts and faculty members with a
familiarity of some of the troubled
countries currently barred.
Tirty-four countries are on the
State Departments travel warnings
list, including Mexico. Te study
abroad program suspended its part-
nership with Puebla, Mexico, last
summer even though the areas most
afected by the drug cartels are much
further north, Lorenz said. Under a
new zoning policy, the study abroad
department could petition for an ex-
emption in the case of Puebla.
Under the new proposal, a com-
mittee would be asked to review a
situation and decide the best course
of action. Any ofcials on the com-
mittee must be willing to meet on a
moments notice, Lorenz said.
Tey would have to act very
quickly in a situation like we had
in Japan, because it isnt an on-the-
ground political situation that might
develop or intensify over time, its
something that is right there, Lorenz
said.
Students studying abroad who do
not adhere to evacuation requests
must withdraw from school.
In terms of emergency work, we
will do that when we need to do that,
Lorenz said. But we want to reduce
the chances that something other
than the daily thing like a sprained
ankle or a broken arm will happen
to you, because those things are very
difcult to deal with. We want to
maintain the minimal risk and the
most efciency in helping students.
Tere is a certain comfort level in
trusting State Department declara-
tions, Lorenz said.
Its a decent thing to pin to,
Lorenz said. Tey tend not to act
precipitously and without investiga-
tion.

The State Department issues travel warnings to
recommend that Americans avoid the risks and
dangerous conditions in that country. These are
the most recent travel warnings.
.
With the mushroom cloud now
dissipating over the remains of Ohio
State football (my alma mater), it is
time to start thinking of ways to allow
student athletes to beneft fnancially
from their collegiate status.
Te NCAA doesnt allow student
athletes to use their name or position
on campus to gain benefts ordinary
students may not receive. Tat is
why when you buy a KU basketball
jersey there is no name on the back,
or if you play an NCAA video game
the players are identifed by numbers.
But entities such as the NCAA, ESPN,
athletic departments, merchandise
distributors and EA Sports are able to
generate substantial proft from these
same athletes. Are there ways to al-
low athletes to be openly rewarded?
Student-paid tuition is one pro-
posal. But tuition going to athletes
is not an option because that money
should be going to expanding dining
centers, improving campus WiFi and
general University upkeep. It would
be a hard sell to raise tuition to pay
athletes when universities, including
our own, are steeply raising tuition to
cover the lack of state aid.
Couldnt the athletic department
directly pay them? Sure. But how do
you navigate the logistics? Do you
pay just football and mens basket-
ball because they bring in the most
money? Would starters make more
than reserves? Would a KU football
player be paid the same amount as an
Oklahoma football player? Would it
be like major league baseball, where
the most resourceful athletic depart-
ments lure athletes with dollar signs?
Te simplest way is to let athletes
get rewarded however they want. If
someone ofered to pay you $1,000
for a signed basketball, would you
turn it down? Of course not. Why
should a student athlete?

Im not going to make it any
secret that Im not particularly im-
pressed with the pool of Republican
presidential candidates for 2012,
but I commend Mitt Romney for
his courageous stance on the war in
Afghanistan.
At a time when such forward
thinking is unpopular within his
party, Romney has made the choice
to act responsibly in advocating
for the removal of troops from the
ground in Afghanistan in as quick
of a process as possible.
At last weeks Republican debate,
Romney expressed that he felt that
Afghanistan had taught the U.S. a
lesson: that we cannot fght other
nations wars in order to spread
democracy. As this sentiment
has echoed throughout the years,
particularly since the Vietnam War,
I hope that this time, Romney is
right.
Sen. Lindsay Graham of South
Carolina, among many other Re-
publicans, has criticized Romneys
position on the war. On Sundays
NBCs Meet the Press, while claim-
ing the war is primarily about fght-
ing terrorism instead of spreading
democracy, Graham questioned
Romneys attempt to win the GOP
nomination with such a lefist at-
titude toward the war.
Indeed, Romneys position is
slightly more liberal than expected,
sliding further to the lef than
President Obama on the issue.
But Romney gets it right when
he states that the war is not truly
about fghting terrorism anymore.
Obamas failure to remove troops
from Afghanistan more quickly
could be considered somewhat of
a compromise as he deals with an
uncooperative Congress at times,
but nevertheless, it is a bit disap-
pointing.
Unfortunately, as Romney is tak-
ing the appropriate position on the
war that is nonetheless unpopular
with Republicans and conservative
voters, Graham may be right in
commenting that this could hurt
his chances of winning the GOP
nomination. However, this issue
may weigh less with those voters
than the economy and their percep-
tion of what needs to be done. In
that case, Romneys war perspective
might not hurt him too much.
What simultaneously frightens
and pleases me about public opin-
ion afer the frst couple of debates
is the fact that Michele Bachmann
is being considered a possible
serious contender. Her poise and
eloquence in some instances during
the debate have caused many to
look at her more favorably.
My plea is that voters remember
Bachmanns agenda before they
start to think she might appear
to be reasonable. Her comments
about education and social policy
are intensely outlandish and dem-
onstrate no understanding of what
freedoms and protection of human
rights are about.
However, if Bachmann were
to capture the hearts of Repub-
licans enough to win the GOP
nomination, I wouldnt be all that
disappointed. Yes, that would mean
a larger number of Americans
could be duped by her well-spoken
exterior than I thought, or even
that many Republicans have begun
to entertain thoughts of agreement
with some of the more absurd
aspects of her agenda. But I still
have the faith in my country that if
she were the GOP nominee, there
would be no way she could win the
presidency. Tis would mean an
easier route for Obamas reelection,
which is the best option I can see
on the horizon.

ranked last in big 12 athletics.
Haha!
Yeah, Mizzou is TOTALLY the
entire package. Out of all their
sports combined, they have
a grand total of ONE national
championship since the school
was started, and it was over 50
years ago...pathetic much?
Haha at the Missouri idiot. Come
on now, Kansas has 12 national
titles and Missouri has two.
I would say come back when
you have won a National
Championship in something
relevant, but we would never see
you again.
If you arent residing in
California, Texas or New York,
you probably shouldnt wear a
fedora to the pool.
If youre not going to pull my
hair and spank my rear, dont
bother trying to sleep with me.
How come no girls think I am
hot? This sucks. I should have
gone to K-State, those women
are too ugly to have standards.
Ill never name my daughter Kiki

whore.

Like the shoes, students snap up Toms sunglasses
BY SHAUNA BLACKMON
sblackmon@kansan.com
With so many businesses strug-
gling, its unusual to see one thriv-
ing especially a business that
gives away half of its inventory.
Toms shoes has gained rapid
popularity, especially on college
campuses. When someone buys a
pair of Toms shoes, the company
sends a pair to an impoverished
child.
Te popular brand is now ex-
panding and selling eyewear that
encompass the same giving prin-
ciple. For every pair of glasses
someone buys, someone overseas
receives glasses, surgery or another
form of eye treatment to help im-
prove or restore their vision.
Te company chose eyewear be-
cause, like having shoes, it afects
many other aspects of a persons
life and is easily solvable, accord-
ing to the Toms website.
Available solutions, including
medical treatment, prescription
eyeglasses or a 15-minute cataract
surgery, could impact 80 percent of
people aficted with vision impair-
ment and blindness, said the site.
Te only place to fnd the new
Toms sunglasses is at Sharks Surf
Shop, 813 Massachusetts St., or the
Toms website, which ofers a virtu-
al try on. By either using a webcam
or uploading a picture, customers
can see what they would look like
wearing any of the diferent styles.
Chris Cox, the owner of Sharks,
said the frst day the sunglass-
es were available Toms website
crashed from so much trafc. An
employee of Sharks, Erica Fried-
heim, said the frst day Toms sun-
glasses were available at the store a
Toms representative came and sold
a bunch of the glasses.
Te glasses are sold for about
$145. Tough that may be out of
many college students budgets,
Friedheim said that price isnt un-
usual for designer sunglasses.
Te cheapest glasses Sharks
carries are $65, but some of the
more expensive can be in the $200
range.
Bailey Perkins, a senior from
Wichita and owner of seven pairs of
Toms shoes, has been trying to get
the on-campus Toms group started
back up since its disintegration last
year with the graduation of many
of its members and ofcers.
While the group was in full
swing, it sponsored events such as
One Day Without Shoes, during
which people tried to experience
what those without shoes face ev-
ery day.
Te group also sponsored a visit
from the company founder Blake
Mycoskie in 2010 and concert by
1990s teen boy band Hanson.
Tough the initial frenzy sur-
rounding Toms has died down,
Friedheim said she thought that,
as soon as the word about the sun-
glasses is out, they would be as
popular as the shoes.
Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN
Toms now sells sunglasses with the same philanthropic business model as shoes. For every
pair sold, the company will give sight to a person in need.

I lie on a narrow bed as I anxiously
await thin needles to be pierced all
over my body. Right before my acu-

foot, she said, Tis one will hurt the
worst. A tiny pinch later, and it was
in. A wave of relief fushed through
me as I realized this was going to be
no big deal. Being an acupuncture-

plimentary medicine as a group of
diverse medical and health care sys-
tems, practices, and products that are
generally not considered part of con-
ventional medicine.
Tis includes many diferent rem-
edies and practices, such as homeop-
athy, herbs, acupuncture, yoga, medi-
tation, hypnotherapy and massage.
Eastern cultures have been using
complimentary medicine for centu-
ries and the trend has been increas-
ing in United States since 1990.
In 1997, researchers found that al-
ternative medicine use had increased
50 percent since 1990. Tat num-
ber has remained steady until 2002,
however yoga and herbal remedy use
have increased. According to a 2007
survey conducted by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
38 percent of adults use alternative
medicine; the most popular being
acupuncture, yoga, massage, medi-
tation, and herbal remedies such as
echinacea, faxseed oil and ginseng.
Holistic living:
Austin Swick, a junior from Cla-
remont, Calif., said that he rides his
bike to work and school every day.
He cooks healthy food and uses
herbal and homeopathic medicine
for his allergies. He lives what he calls
a holistic lifestyle. Swick said afer
his allergy shots did not help him,
he looked elsewhere. Bee pollen is
more condensed than honey and is
great for combating allergies, Swick
said. Holistic remedies and herbs
are way more budget-friendly than
going to the doctor. I occasionally
use pain relievers, but mostly stick to
herbal remedies. But living holisti-
cally not only involves herbal rem-
edies, it involves a lifestyle change.
Our societys perception of time is a
key reason why so many people are
unhealthy. Tey want to grab food
on-the-go when people dont realize
how inexpensive and easy it is to eat
healthy. I buy common food staples in
bulk and cook, he said. When eating
on campus, Swick avoids processed
foods and sticks to fresh produce
and sushi. Swick also mentioned in
order to receive natures benefts,
people have to be willing to change
their diets and habits.You cant just
take a Vitamin C when youre sick,
you have to take it every day. People
dont want to cross over and experi-
ment with a new kind of lifestyle,
but you have to take that risk.
Acupuncture:
Acupuncture has been around for
centuries and is still practiced today.
Originating in China, acupuncture
involves placing thin needles in the
skin at certain pressure points that
increases the bodys chi, or energy
fow.Gina Halsey, Lawrence acu-
puncturist, said that acupuncture is
great for treating pain and enhanc-
ing the immune system. Acupunc-
ture can work as a replacement for
pain medication. It works in a dif-
ferent way; it doesnt just mask the
pain, it resolves it. Acupuncture
treats many diferent ailments, the
most common being headaches,
chronic pain, asthma, and surgery
and injury recovery. Acupuncture
also helps other things such as in-
somnia, anxiety, fertility, and irri-
table bowel syndrome.
HypnotHerApy:
Hypnotherapy doesnt involve
needles, medication or herbs it
involves the mind. According to the
International Medical and Dental-
Hypnotherapy Association, hypno-
sis involves the subconscious mind
to remain awake while the body and
conscious mind are in a relaxed neu-
tral state. Tis awake subconscious
mind is able to receive suggestions
to make changes. Stephen L. Grif-
feth, Ph.D, said that hypnotherapy
is great for quitting smoking, in-
somnia, anxiety, acute pain and f-
bromalygia, among numerous other
complications. Grifeth said hypno-
sis is great for smokers wanting to
quit because it has a 90 percent suc-
cess rate, where as gums and patches
only have a fve to 10 percent success
rate.
Acupuncture involves placing thin needles in the skin at certain pressure points that increases the bodys
chi, or energy fow.

Police ask for funding, but support unclear
local
BY KYLIE NUTT
knutt@kansan.com
Te Lawrence Police Department
is asking for an additional $1.2 mil-
lion to add to the 2012 budget to
add resources in order to reduce
crime rates.
In recent budget meetings the
2010 Benchmark City Survey was
used as evidence to support the
request. Te survey is used as a
measurement tool for police de-
partments around the country who
choose to be a part of the survey to
evaluate their communities. Law-
rence was ranked 27th out of 28 cit-
ies in aggravated assault/battery, ar-
son, auto thef, burglary, homicide,
rape, robbery and thef, according
to the 2010 Benchmark City Survey.
Te Overland Park Police Depart-
ment compiles the data and makes
it available for police departments
to set goals and objectives.
Lawrence Police Chief Tarik
Khatib requested $1.2 million to
add one detective, 10 ofcers, three
sergeants and $102,008 in equip-
ment according to a May 9 memo-
randum to City Manager David
Corliss. Te department held
a budget hearing meeting last
Tuesday, June 14, to discuss what
resources the department would
like to add, Sgt. Matt Sarna, a
spokesman for the Lawrence po-
lice, said.
Were asking for more re-
sources to try to get those num-
bers down, Sarna said. We can
only do so much with what we
have on the street right now. If
the city approves the depart-
ments funding request, the mon-
ey will be generated through an
increase in property taxes.
Te survey shows Lawrences
violent crime has decreased to
3.6 per 1,000 people and property
crime has also decreased to 47.4 per
1,000 people, according to the 2010
Benchmark City Survey. 2009s sta-
tistics were 4.8 per 1,000 people and
48.3 per 1,000 people respectively,
according to a Mar. 29 memoran-
dum to Corliss.
Weve got a level of crime in
Lawrence and its a little higher
than it should be per capita, Mayor
Cromwell said. We have challenges
in Lawrence with a lot of diferent
types of crime. Property crime rates
are high and in some cases, are un-
solved.
Cromwell says the most im-
portant resource to add is more
ofcers, along with equipment
upgrades and a new facility. Te
new facility is not in the proposed
2012 budget, but the department
is considering their options be-
cause of extensive upgrades the
Law Enforcement Center and the
Investigations and Training Cen-
ter would need. Te department
would prefer all three law enforce-
ments to be in one central loca-
tion near Fire Station No. 5, on the
corner of 19th and Iowa streets.
Tis means the Universitys Ofce
of Public Safety and the Douglas
County Sherifs Ofce could pos-
sibly join the department.
Even so, the true relationship
between crime rates and feelings of
safety can be difcult to gage in a
community.
We feel safer than I think maybe
we are, Cromwell said.
Te community rated police ser-
vices at 83 percent in the 2011 Citi-
zen Survey, which is higher than the
2007 survey. Tey indicated a sig-
nifcant increase in customer satis-
faction from 2007 to 2011 of feeling
safe downtown afer dark.
City Commissioner Mike Amyx
said that, as the city begins the
budget process, they will look at
each city department when decid-
ing whether to allocate the $1.2
million to the Lawrence Police De-
partment. Te city commissioners
will consider the responses of the
community and the people in vari-
ous city departments. Tey will also
make sure the highest of priorities
are met, Amyx said.
Te 2012 budget will be fnalized
by the city commissioners later this
year.

relationships
Facebook use magnifes, causes trouble in couples
BY MEG LOWRY
mlowry@kansan.com
When it comes to Facebook and
relationships, its complicated.
More than sixty percent of the
500 billion people who use Face-
book have a relationship status
listed on their profle. Te site ofers
ten status options: single, in a rela-
tionship, its complicated, engaged,
married, divorced, widowed, sepa-
rated, in a civil union and in a do-
mestic partnership.
Te efects Facebook has on re-
lationships, however, arent so sim-
ple.
By defnition, the format of the
internet allows for problems to hap-
pen in a relationship more easily,
said Kristine Johnson, a psycholo-
gist at Christian Psychological Ser-
vices, 3510 Clinton Place.
In the U.S., only thirty-nine per-
cent of Facebook users are listed as
single. Te majority of users, then,
are in a relationship that may be im-
pacted by their social networking.
Johnson explains that Facebook
can highlight already existing prob-
lems.
If someone is struggling to be
honest, for example, the internet of-
fers a new outlet
for that, John-
son said.
A study con-
ducted last year
by Nielsen, an
online analyst,
found that in
one month an
average 135 mil-
lion people will
visit Facebook,
or more than 70 percent of Ameri-
can Internet users. Tose who visit
the site spent seven hours a month
on it, compared to the average 2.5
hours a month on Google.
Carson Levine, a senior, has
been dating her boyfriend Drew
for a year. A few months into their
relationship, she said, they became
Facebook ofcial.
I just fgured if we didnt put it
up, it would be weird, Levine said.
I thought it meant he was embar-
rassed by me. Look-
ing back, it seems a
little ridiculous.
When a couple
links on Facebook,
the status change is
posted to their walls
and to their friends
news feeds, making
the change public
knowledge.
I was going to be
leaving town for a few weeks, and I
think it made him feel a little better
to know our relationship was pub-
lic, Levine said.
Whether a couple chooses to
make their relationship Facebook
ofcial or not, Johnson said com-
munication is key.
Technology can really reduce in-
timacy and understanding between
people, Johnson said. It can lead
to a whole new host of problems.
According to the American Acad-
emy of Matrimonial Lawyers, an
increasing number of divorce cas-
es have been including Facebook as
evidence of infdelity. Photographs,
messages and wall posts have all
been presented in the courtroom by
slighted lovers.
Johnson said social media can
create an outlet for infdelity, but
isnt necessarily the cause.
Tere is an idea that the internet
is an efcient platform for secrecy,
Johnson said. But situations like
that dont have as much to do with
the platform as they do with just
being a really bad choice. Levine
agrees.
If you one hundred percent trust
the person that you are with and
know you have the same feelings for
each other, I dont see why it would
be a problem, she said. But if you
are insecure in your relationship, it
will be an issue.
Last year, thirty-seven percent
of relationship status updates were
pages being changed to single. Te
update instantly alerts friends, fam-
ily, co-workers and acquaintances
of your heartbreak.
It would suck for a while, I
think, Levine said. But at the end
of the day, its just Facebook.
Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN
Facebook has been included in an increasing number of divorce cases, according to the
American Academy of Matrimonial lawyers.
If someone is struggling
to be honest, for example,
the internet offers a new
outlet for that.
