Its been recently reported that the
NSA has been monitoring phone

tempt to preemptively curb terrorist
activity in the U.S. Some might call
this an egregious invasion of privacy
while others may consider it a nec-
essary measure in the fght against
terrorism.

1.i keep all of my things
password-protected and
use a general antivirus
software.
2. i think its worth it if this
actually ends up stopping
a terrorist threat, but i can
understand how some people
might be upset.
Each of the following individuals
was asked two questions:
1. What measures do you take to keep
what you do on the Internet private?
2. How do you feel about the NSA
monitoring phone records for
terrorist activity?
1.i dont take extreme
measures to ensure my
privacy.
2. im from saudi Arabia
and my government has
been monitoring phone
records for almost a year
now, and i think that it
helps to keep us safe.

1.i dont try very hard
to keep what i do on the

2. if this is what it takes
to keep us safe then i am
all for it. Maybe they could
have used this to catch the

Ultimatum with Syria lacks thorough strategy

E
arlier this month, the Obama
Administration announced
that it will be arming the Syrian
rebels in light of new evidence that
Bashar al-Assad has used chemical
weapons against the opposition.
Te announcement comes to the
consternation of 70 percent of
Americans who view the decision
as inappropriate, according to a
new Pew poll. Teir fear is not un-
warranted. Arming the opposition
is fraught with risks.
I am frst reminded of when the
United States armed the Muja-
hideen during the Soviet invasion
of Afghanistan. Dubbed freedom
righters fghting against the evils
of communism, the United States
supplied weapons to the militant
group who later went on to become
the Taliban. Indeed, the risk of U.S.
weapons falling into the wrong
hands is particularly likely con-
sidering the fragmentation of the
movement. Because the Free Syrian
Army is not well unifed, afer the
war, members will likely fght in
factions. Not to mention risk of
the rebels turning on the U.S. and
further undermining our eforts in
the Middle East while giving rise to
new Al-Qaeda safe havens.
Furthermore, the support from
the administration is lukewarm at
best. Te administration says it will
supply small arms and ammuni-
tion. Pea shooters and bullets.
Anti-tank weaponry might also
be included, but it likely wont be
enough to break Assads monopoly
on coercive force. Evidently, the
U.S. only wants to dip its toes in
militarily, probably to avoid show-
ers of scorn from its war-averse
public. Unfortunately, nebulous
statements and vaguely defned
goals will accomplish neither.
Considering the recent losses on
the rebel side, at best, the weapons
will slightly tilt the power dynamic
and create a deeper stalemate.
And while that stalemate festers,
Russias patience with the United
States will wither and fray. No
doubt, Russia, who has been sup-
plying Assads forces with weap-
onry, has already raised objections
to the decision. Sending weapons
to the rebels enters the US into a
proxy war with Russia by challeng-
ing the Kremlins collusion with
Assads regime, freezing the fragile
reset between the two nations.
Te rationale behind the move
(weapons of mass destruction) is
eerily similar to the pretext used
to justify U.S. involvement in Iraq.
Regardless, Obama must honor his
red line ultimatum. Perhaps what
is crucially missing in Obamas
strategy, is, well, a strategy. Tere
needs to be a clear prospectus for
what is to be achieved by taking
military action in Syria. As it stands
now, the decision appears to be in-
advertent, which will surely embroil
the president in further criticism.
Unfortunately, when it comes to
Syria, the president has no easy way
out. If I may argue counterfactually,
Obama should never have drawn
the red line in the frst place. Mak-
ing ultimatums such as these have
little purpose in the international
community because the U.S., as it
stands, lacks the clout to intimi-
date its foes using words, and as
evidenced by the war-torn region,
neither do our bullets.

A
n immigration reform bill
is being considered in the
Senate, which is not the
frst time this has happened.
Te debate of who to let into
America from foreign lands, and
what privileges those immigrants
would be given once in the country
began in 1790, when legislation
limited naturalization, or the ability
to earn citizenship, to only white
people who were not slaves. Our
policies have continued to follow a
trend of exclusion, where only those
people considered benefcial for
America, whether that be because
of their skills or the color of their
skin, would be allowed to enter
the nation. Today the debate isnt
about Europe or Asia, but about
our countrys next-door neighbor,
Mexico. Te issue of reforming
immigration across this southern
border becomes more relevant as
our nation swells with illegal immi-
grants, undeterred by legislation.
Speaker of the House John
Boehner has said that there remain
many objections to the bill, which is
true. Like any sweeping reform, the
devil is in the details. If we lower
the restrictions to legally enter our
country and gain citizenship, what
happens to those who have entered
the country illegally? Should we
sanction the breaking of our laws,
or should we only reward those
who havent tried to work around a
system not in their favor? A larger
concern may be numbers. If the
reform passes, how many im-
migrants from other nations will
enter the country? An issue many
people have with immigration is the
concern of available jobs, housing,
schools, and government benefts.
In order to pass reform legislation,
it should be more clear that we have
the ability to provide for all of our
citizens, and all issues should be
resolved frst.
Most opponents in congress have
made the argument that immigra-
tion reform would be detrimental
to the economy. However, new
analysis put out by the Congres-
sional Budget Ofce indicates that
the legislation would actually lower
the defcit by 1 trillion dollars over
20 years, by providing the govern-
ment with new taxpayers to boost
revenue.
In addition, given the sheer
amount of illegal immigration, it
is clear that something must be
done. Te current system is broken,
and allowing it to continue would
be foolhardy. Te United States is
a country built with immigrants,
newcomers to our country bring
new ideas, innovations, and cul-
tures.

I am still recovering from the sea-
son 7 fnale episode of Dexter, and
Im sure Im not the only one. Te
deaths, the escapes, and the twists;
it was almost too much for me to
handle. Tat being said, it also lef me
wanting another season desperately.
So in order to get hyped for the
premiere on June 30, here is a recap
and some things to expect from the
upcoming season.
In case you dont remember, or
missed the fnale, here is where we
lef of: Hannah not only admits to
poisoning Debra, but also is able to
escape prison. Dexter kills his last
victim of the season, Hector Estrada,
who was the last surviving killer of
Dexters mother. Maria LaGuerta is
busy trying to prove her suspicions
about Dexter, which ultimately leads
to her death. Afer luring her to a
shipyard, Dexter and LaGuerta begin
their faceof, only to be interrupted
by none other than Debra, who
has spent this entire season trying
to come to grips with her brothers
reality. Debra, faced with the choice
between killing LaGuerta or her own
brother, ends up fnishing Maria.
Now that Maria is dead, the suspi-
cions of Dexter will either heighten
or rot along with her. However, that
is not what the season should focus
on.
Rather, hopefully, this season
continues to shine a light on Debra
and her ever changing character.
Now a full-fedged murderer, Debra
is going to start questioning herself,
her morals, and more importantly,
her relationship with her brother. It
will be easy for her to put the blame
of the death of LaGuerta on Dexter;
meaning she will be able to say that
there wasnt really ever much of a
choice. Although, there is still the
question of whether Dexter was hop-
ing that Debra would kill him instead
of Maria, which will be yet another
subject to explore in the season.
With all that happening, it is to
be expected that this season will be
equally as exciting as the last season.
Except that the trend of Dexter sea-
sons seem to point in the other direc-
tion, meaning usually a more lifeless
season follows one that captures the
audiences. Despite all of this, I still
have higher than high expectations
for the fnal season (even though
they are now saying it may not be
the fnal season, I am 90 percent sure
it will end) of this Showtime series,
mostly because, lets be honest, Debra
is about to become a badass.

T
he kids arent all right afer
all.
Funny, disturbing and
more than a little pretentious, Sofa
Coppolas Te Bling Ring is a
cinematic vanity mirror, cracked by
self-loathing and caked with raw
apathy, a refection of our cultures
need to covet celebrities and their
equally alluring possessions. Less
a cautionary tale than an artful
attempt to locate depth in some
extremely shallow people, the flm
envisions todays youth culture as a
teenage wasteland populated entirely
by pampered, insecure narcissists,
each one bent on achieving fame (or
infamy) at any cost.
Based on a series of articles
published by Nancy Jo Sales in 2010,
the movie chronicles the real-life
exploits of the Hollywood Hills Bur-
glar Bunch, a gang of adolescent cat
burglars who swiped more than $3
million worth of luxury brand cloth-
ing, jewelry, guns and drugs from
the homes of their tabloid heroes,
including Paris Hilton, Megan Fox
and Orlando Bloom.
Coppolas version denies the
crimes were motivated solely by
greed, instead painting the thieves
as Adderall-addled misfts fueled by
the desire to materially commune
with the stars theyve been taught
to emulate since childhood. Te
groups ringleader is the conniving
Rebecca (Katie Chang), who recruits
the shy, ambiguously gay Marc
(IsraelBroussard) soon afer the
would-be fashionista arrives in L.A.
to fnish high school. Afer a few
minor break-ins, the platonic Bon-
nie and Clydes crimes intensify with
the arrival of the petty, self-absorbed
Nicki (Emma Watson) and her
equally hateful adopted sister Sam
(Taissa Farmiga from FXs Ameri-
can Horror Story). Rounding out
the crew is Chloe (Claire Julien),
who uses her legion of shady boy-
friends to fence the stolen goods)
Watson, fresh from her revela-
tory performance in last years Te
Perks of Being a Wallfower, has
never played a character as aggres-
sively unlikeable as Nicki, yet she
nails every hair-fip and upward-
infected insult like a born TMZ
junkie. For my money, though, the
flms best performance belongs
to Leslie Mann (fnally venturing
outside the Apatow camp), playing
Nicki and Sams mother, a self-help
harpy whose idea of home schooling
involves prayers based on Te Se-
cret and beauty tips from Angelina
Jolie.
Coppola, the daughter of master
director Francis Ford Coppola, is a
flmmaker whose previous work has
been strictly hit-or-miss for me. Yet
the directors contemplative visual
style, built around elegance and
repetition, seems wholly appropriate
for Te Bling Ring, consciously
mirroring the superfciality of her
subjects.
Teres a downside, however, to
this delicate approach.Te script,
also written by Coppola, never
actively casts judgment on its char-
acters, refusing to examine them
in a critical or even satirical light.
Afer a promising frst hour, the
flm settles into a visually dazzling
but ultimately monotonous series of
rinse-and-repeat robberies: sneaking
over fences, raiding warehouse-
sized shoe closets, lounging around
Hiltons vacant V.I.P. room (the
heiress allowed Coppola the use
of her Beverly Hills mansion to
recreate the burglaries she barely
noticed) and repeating brand names
in hushed, reverent tones. For the
majority of its run time, though,
Te Bling Ring is exactly what it
should be: an exuberant exorcism of
the valley girl id.

A Lawrence staple has received a
substantial facelif. Te Teatre Law-
rence, Lawrences community theater,
has ofcially moved into its new loca-
tion near Lawrence Free State High
School.
Te theater originally operated out
of a renovated church that had limited
seating and space. With a new venue to
perform in, the members of the troupe
are excited to now have a space of their
own.
You can turn around in the dress-
ing room and not bump into anybody,
Steve Bremer, a volunteer since 1984,
said.
Te theater began in 1977, and out-
side of executive staf members, it con-
sists of volunteers from the communi-
ty. A diverse range of professions make
up the group of actors and technical
crew that work on each production.
Tis new location was made pos-
sible by the donations from more
than 700 members of the local com-
munity. At the top of the list of donors
are Hortense Tensie Oldfather and
Mabel A. Woodyard, or the Leading
Ladies as the members of the theater
call them. Tese women made dona-
tions of $1 million each and continue
to support the eforts of the troupe.
Free State Holdings gave the theater
the land it needed to build the new fa-
cility. Te troupe will perform the
show Ragtime through the rest of the
month and into July. Te show is a sto-
ry of racial strife and poverty confict
in turn-of-the-century America.
We want to showcase the talents
from the community, and this is an
opportunity to perform in an excit-
ing show and to bring that show to the
public, said Mary Doveton, executive
director of the Teatre Lawrence.
Te theater will also ofer acting and
dance workshops to the public in the
future.
Te theater maintains a working
relationship with the KU Teatre De-
partment and the troupe is always
looking for new volunteers.

I focus on geometric shapes and look for
stuff thats kitschy too. I mean, I really
like the fact that my shoes look like an old
persons wallpaper.

I think comfort is huge during the summer.
Not just comfort in the clothes but feel
comfortable in what youre wearing. When
you wear something, own it.

In 20 years when theyve settled
in with a family of their own, their
child asks, how did his mom and
dad meet?
The answer isnt in a college
English class or in a popular bar,
rather, on an iPhone dating app.
Its not out of the ordinary to
chat up a perfect stranger through
social media, especially when
apps, such as Tinder and OkCupid,
and college dating websites make
it their sole purpose. After Tinder
piloted its dating experience on a
few college campuses, users made
35 million profile ratings within
the span of two months, according
to TechCrunch.
Results with potential matches
are highly localized usually
within 50 or so miles making
users feel more comfortable reach-
ing out.
Thats also the idea behind
CollegeBoo.com, Noah Mortels
college dating website brainchild.
After graduating in 2008 from
Baylor, he didnt have much money
to start a full-fledged business.
He put some thought into it, and
decided students needed another
avenue to meet and find love in a
large campus dating arena.
When I made it, I put myself
back in those students shoes and
was thinking about something that
I would have loved to have while I
was in college, he said.
The site requires a verified
.edu email account to register
and members have the option to
search exclusively within their own
campus. A free membership grants
access to profile browsing and
viewing photo albums. For a fee,
users can have the total experience
including messaging, music and
video, gift exchange and group and
speed dating events.
Mortel said the site is more of a
fusion of traditional online dating
with the security and comfort of
being able to meet in familiar ter-
ritory.
Its been growing steadily,
Mortel said. The site has about 375
members currently. The major-
ity are freshman and sophomore
undergraduates, and Mortel said
the site has slightly more women
than men with accounts.
Since launching CollegeBoo in
January, hes been seeing potential
matches connecting, but he hasnt
heard any wedding bells just yet.
I want to hear success stories.
I want to hear about another
student finding love and marriage
and things like that, Mortel said.
To me, that would be the greatest
thing.
Theres more mystery behind
another campus connecting ser-
vice. The popular Twitter account
@KUSecretAdmirer isnt trying to
play matchmaker its an avenue
for anonymous shout-outs.
Although tweets are known for
being vulgar at times, the three
anonymous admins said they try
to post anything unique, funny
or sentimental. And just because
its not an official dating service
doesnt mean that a flattering
Secret Admirers tweet couldnt
ignite a spark.
People tweet, direct message
and email us how much they ap-
preciate the tweets, but its really
other peoples words. Were just
here to post them, the admins
wrote in an email.
Despite privacy features, the
safety aspect of online dating is
where things get tricky. Theres
still no surefire way to verify that
who youre talking to online is
exactly who he or she is said to
be until you step away from the
computer.
Trust is so central in a relation-
ship, and if you dont really have a
basis for establishing trust, then its
difficult to go forward, said Kathy
Rose-Mockry, director of the Em-
ily Taylor Center for Women and
Gender Equity. And you may be
basing your assumptions on things
that arent real.
However, the benefits of online
and social media matchmaking
outweigh the drawbacks, especially
when flirting in class isnt an op-
tion.
Finding other ways to get to
know people out of your direct
circle, this is certainly one way to
do it, Rose-Mockry said.
