Due to the ever-increas -ing popularity of the Uni -

versity libraries and studyrooms, many students haveturned to their apartmentdesks for productive study -ing time. This way, theyavoid noise and distrac -

tions and can avoid the trekto the library, especially inharsh weather conditions.

Rachel Rauch, a seniorfrom Fort Worth, Texas,said that she prefers hermake-shift desk, which isactually a TV tray and a

chair, compared to the li - braries on campus.

“I just like to be alone,”Rauch said. “I can havenoise distraction, but notmovement distraction. IfI see someone walking I'm

just like, 'Where are you go -ing?”'

Finding a seat, settingup, chatting with people

you know and then nallyfocusing on your textbookcan be a long and time-con -suming process that manystudents nd a hassle.

Many University stu -dents have found that theirapartments or dorms are a

much quieter, more com -fortable and easier to accessa place than the library.Here are a few tips on howto make your home the bestplace to study:

1. Pick a secluded spot, aspot with minimum distrac -tions.

2. Make the space yourown. Decorate it with things

that you like to make yourspace one that you want to

be in. Many students do this with pictures of friends orfamily back home. But, re -member step one. You wantit to feel homey and com -fortable, but too many dec -

orations can be distracting.3. Give yourself adequate

lighting. Make sure you cansee what you’re doing.

4. Lastly, give yourself acomfortable chair to sit in.

You’re going to be sittingthere for a while, so it mightas well be comfortable.

Cramped libraries and bad weather shouldn't stop

students from studyingto achieve academic suc -cess. Instead, revamp yourat-home desk into a greatstudy space to help youachieve great grades.

How to create your perfectpersonal study spot at hom

1Pick a secludedspot, a spot withminimum distrac-tions.

Class of 2016 Jackson: Tryingto nd a way to

say goodbye toa memorablechapter

id I miss theclass where theyprepared us for

his moment? Was theremoment in Kansan

raining when I dozed offnd someone outlinedow to do this?

How to say goodbye.

Because I have justeen staring at myomputer for hourshinking about how too this. I have typed andeleted the start of thisolumn countless times.or a person who plans

o write for a living, I amertainly struggling tond the right words.

Nothing I say willo justice to my time athe Kansan. It’s whatas become the most

mportant thing to me in y collegiate career.

But I’m going to givet a shot by doing what

have done for the last ve semesters — tellingstory.

Let me tell you thetory of how the Kansanhanged my life. Theansan is absolutely

he reason I am wheream today. Everything

hat has come my wayas been a testament

o how spectacular thisrganization is.

In a few days I will beheading up to Clevelandto cover the ClevelandIndians as an associatereporter for MLB.com.

Anybody who knows meknows this is a dreamcome true for me.

And I credit thisopportunity to theKansan.

It is true that the

J-School is fantastic.But nearly everythingI have learned over thelast few years has comeduring my time withthe UDK. I learned thechallenge of turning ina gamer immediatelyfollowing the buzzer,

which was most notablytested during a triple-overtime thriller againstOklahoma.

My time with theKansan taught me thatif I needed a slam-dunk quote to go toLanden Lucas or BenHeeney. It taught me theimportance of havinga good relationship

with the SIDs andunderstanding how hardtheir job is.

It blessed me with theopportunity to cover a

baseball team that madethe regional in Louisvillein my rst semester, andtrip to Louisville in my

nal semester, covering a basketball team that fell

in the Elite Eight.It also taught me

that not every season will be a success. Icovered just two wins

by the football team intwo seasons (I actuallymissed the victoryagainst Iowa State). Butcovering the hardshipsof that team was just asimportant, if not more,

as covering another Big12 championship by the basketball team.

Truth be told, though,I won’t remember anyof that when I look back

years from now on mytime with the Kansan.I won’t remember the

nal score of Kansas vs.Oklahoma or how manypoints Wayne Selden Jr.had against Kentucky.

Instead, I willremember the peoplethat I have met and thestories I have locked upin the memory bank foran eternity.

I have made severallifelong friendships

because of the Kansan,perhaps none greaterthan with my sportseditor Scott Chasen,

whom I had the luxury of working closely with thelast three semesters.

I will rememberfondly playing over 100r o c k - p a p e r- s c i s s o r sgames with him in the

newsroom while we waited for stories tocome in. I will rememberour conversations duringa nine-hour road tripto Chicago to cover theChampions Classic.

And I will rememberstaring at a blank screenafter the Elite Eight, eventhough I assured Scottearlier that day I would

be ready for whateverhappens. The realizationthat it was my nal gamehad nally hit me.

But the reality is itdoesn’t really matter.Next year there will beanother byline duringthe NCAA tournamentand you the readers willstill get stellar — nay,

better — coverage. As for me, I will

continue writing andthe foundation of myreporting comes from mytime with the Kansan.

So maybe this isgoodbye, but this is notthe end of the story. Ifanything it’s the end ofmemorable chapter, achapter that will alwayshave a special place inmy heart.

But it’s not the end.In a way, it’s like the

story has only just begun.

oze Brooks, a sec-ond-year graduate

student studying high-er education, is graduatingsoon, and like many otherson campus, they are worriedabout their post-commence-ment job search.

However, during theirpresentation “The Z is NotSilent,” part of the Of ce ofMulticultural Affairs’ “LastLecture” series on March 25,Brooks said their fears do

not stem from, for instance,the recovering economy orinterview skills, but a lack ofpersonal acceptance in their

eld.Speaking in front of about

25 people in the KansasUnion, Brooks recalled a classearly this semester whereone of their professors askedstudents to line up in orderof stressed to least-stressedabout the job search. Brookssaid they placed themselvesas far to the “stressed” side ofthe room as possible.

They said when the pro-fessor asked the studentsto share their thoughts and

feelings on their stress levels,Brooks refrained.“Because I wasn’t sure

how to explain that my stresswas not rooted in whetheror not I can get a job, but mystress was rooted in if I wantto dive into a career path orinto a eld that doesn’t know

what the hell to do with me,”Brooks said.

Brooks, originally from St.Louis, Mo., is the rst know -ingly and openly transgender

person to graduate from thehigher education administra-tion program. During theirtalk, Brooks spoke on someof their time and experienceat the University over the pasttwo years, both as a studentand as the graduate assistantin the Center for Sexualityand Gender Diversity.

“I didn’t know how to ex-plain that for two years, I have

felt like a case study, like a re-source tool, for my cohorts,”they said. “I have felt like a

barometer for my classmatesfor where they stand in social

justice issues, as though I ama line drawn in the sand, andif you feel what I’m saying,

you’re on one side and if youare sick of hearing me speak,

you’re on the other.” After completing under-

graduate studies at the Uni- versity of Missouri-KansasCity, where they said they hada very positive experience,Brooks came to Kansas forgraduate school with a “direhope for direction,” they said.Instead, Brooks said theyfound a climate of closeddoors and hush conversa-tions where their queerness

was seen as a “generationalnuance.”

“I am currently in a placeof unlearning,” Brooks said.“Nearly two years of beingconditioned to keep my headdown, and my voice low.”

Yet, there have been silverlinings to the cloud, Brookssaid.

“I am sure I made it soundlike it has been a painful and

challenging experience forme, but I have gained a deep-er understanding of how Iexist in the world, how I wishto exist in the world, and

what work I need to do sothose mean the same thing,”Brooks said.

Murphy Maiden, a juniorfrom Overland Park, saidthey appreciated Brooks’personal and it presented a“clear path” of how others insimilar situations can navi-gate challenges.

“It allowed me to re ecton my own position and

what that means in terms of what I want to do in the fu-ture, including Roze because

we are close,” Maiden said.“So really, this essentially

was an invitation to analyzemy own position, re ect on

where I’ve been and deter-mine where I want to go.”

Cody Charles, associatedirector for Academic En-richment Programs at theOf ce of Multicultural Af -fairs, said although he appre-ciates Brooks’ willingness toshare their personal insight,he thinks it is something thatshould not have to be re-quired for change.

“It was invigorating andchallenging, in the sense

that, the level of vulnerabilitythat someone has to give tomove the needle as an edu-cator— so all of these thingsthat are personal, that youchoose to share as educa-tors to help move along thedialogue, and spark curiosi-

ty— is also a very challengingthing, because no one should

be owed that,” Charles said.Brooks said their time at

the University has evoked inthem a need to be louder andto demand the space theirstudents deserve. When they

leave in a few months, theysaid they hope they leave oth-er students with a feeling ofempowerment.

“They have the same abili-ty to talk to humans, and theyhave the same ability to getstuff done, to create spaces

to do the programs that I’vedone, that I’m not anythingextraordinary, I just happento be the one to say, ‘Hey thisis missing,’” Brooks said.

It’s not uncommon for am-

ateur musicians to coverthe chart-topping recordingartists they look up to. Manypeople will post their coverson YouTube or SoundCloudhoping for some recognition.With any luck, they mightgarner the attention of theirinspiration and be rewardedwith a kind tweet or shoutout.If you’re Andy Hodges, yourfavorite artists might drop byfor a visit.

Hodges, a Manhattan,Kan. native, has been play-ing piano since he was inkindergarten, and has beenproducing and posting orig-inal content online for abouttwo years. Most recently, he’sbeen working with chart-top-ping recording artists. Andhe’s only a freshman.

It all started last Novem-ber, when Andrew Taggartand Alex Pall, the DJ duoknown as The Chainsmokers,came to Lawrence for a con-cert, and surprised Hodgeswhile he was working on hismusic.

The surprise visit was fea-tured as part of a promotionby Samsung. Prior to the visit,Hodges said he had been incontact with the duo’s pro-ducers, and thought he wasonly going to be featured in a

commercial.“I got a call from Sam-sung saying they’re shooting acommercial here for this vid-eo commercial series they’redoing and they wanted me tobe a part of it, and they said I’dbe producing with The Chain-smokers, and I ipped out,”Hodges said. “A month laterthey told me that’s not goingto happen and then they sur-prised me, it all worked out. Itwas hilarious.”

Hodges got to work withThe Chainsmokers and saidhe was able to learn moreabout how they produce theirchart-topping hits like “Ros-es.”

“They showed me somereal technical aspects of the

song and how they createdthat, then they showed mesome new stuff, like ‘Closer’ which is a song of theirs that’sactually coming out nextmonth,” Hodges said.

Hodges said the two artistsgave him some pointers andhelped set him up with newsoftware to produce the mu-sic he’s been posting online.Hodges does mostly pianocovers and some original in-strumental pieces, all of whichhe posts on his SoundCloudaccount. He works completelyout of his dorm room, where

his keyboard, computer andspeaker system are set up un-derneath a lofted bunk bed.

Hodges may have gottento work with The Chainsmok-ers in November, but that wasn’t the last of it. In Feb-ruary, Hodges headed out toCalifornia, where he got tohang out on the set of a music video and get a rst-hand lookat how the DJing duo produc-es. The trip can now be seenfeatured in one of Samsung’scommercials.

Hodges said during thetrip he was able to get sometips and pointers from TheChainsmokers on how to im-prove his music.

“They’re just giving meadvice on what I need to doto move on to the next level,and I’m taking that adviceand capitalizing on it,” Hodg -es said.

Aside from The Chain-smokers, Hodges says hedraws inspiration from anoth-er very notable pop artist, EdSheeran. Hodges said he gotthe idea to layer sounds fromthe loop pedal Sheeran usesfor his live shows. Althoughit’s meant for guitars, Hodg-

es bought the same pedal forhis piano, and it allows him to build his tracks, adding differ-ent instruments through hiskeyboard.

“[Piano] just ranges so wide, you can cover bass and you can cover melody at thesame time,” Hodges said.“And I love the violin, I had asong in mind that features a violin. It’s my second favoriteinstrument behind cello.”

Just this past semester,Hodges began producing cov-ers with another young musi-cian, sophomore Anna Ham-

ilton from Bucyrus. Hamiltonsaid the two work well togeth-er by combining their differ-ent musical strengths.

“I’m like the lyricist,”Hamilton said. “He’s aboutthe beat and the rhythm.”

The two said they’ll bounce song ideas off eachother and share inspiration.They work so well together, infact, they’ve recently written,recorded and released theirown original song, “EmptyPromises” on iTunes and Spo -tify in February.

Although Hodges did themusic for the song, he saidmost of the writing was done by Hamilton.

“She did 97 percent of it,”Hodges said. “The only thingI did was there was a lyric Ineeded to change.”

Hamilton said her inspi-ration for songwriting comesspontaneously.

“It’s usually hearing some-thing, because I’m very au-dible, but then a lot of timesit’ll be like a feeling that I get whenever I witness somethingeither that’s really messed upand I want to write about it orthat’s really inspiring,” Ham -ilton said.

Right now, Hodges said hestill wants to stay in school,

and that while a degree is im-portant to him, there are cer-tain exceptions when it comesto the music industry.

“If I get a good deal, I’mgoing to sign it and go workin Los Angeles or whatever,”Hodges said. “You can al- ways go back to school, but

you don’t alwayshave opportuni-ties to sign witha good manag-er.”

Hodges be-gan his collegee x p e r i e n c estudying biologyand neurosci-ence, but is nowthinking aboutt r a n s f e r r i n gsomewhere elsefor a degree in

audio engineer-ing and musicproduction. Al-though the planfor now is to stayin school, Hodg-es said if an op-portunity pres-ents itself, he’sgoing to have to“weigh the prosand cons.”

“If I can domusic, I’ll domusic,” he said.

W hile his team-mates were setto take on Okla-homa in Norman, Okla., inNovember of 2014, Kansasrunning back De’AndreMann was taking on hisown challenge. It wasn’tone based off wins or loss-es, but a matter of life ordeath.

After driving to a To-peka hospital, De’Andrewould hold his newbornson, Alijah De’Andre Mann,in a single hand. Born twomonths and two weeks pre-mature, Alijah weighed amere two pounds as the ef-fect of preeclampsia, a dis-ease De’Andre’s wife Oliviadealt with throughout herpregnancy.

Preeclampsia can pre-

vent the placenta from re-ceiving enough blood, caus-ing the baby to be born verysmall. The disease isn’t cur-able, but it can be managedif it’s caught early. Luckily

for Olivia, it was.“I made it to Topekain 45 minutes,” De’Andresaid. “I was so nervous formy wife and son driving

back [to Topeka]. But shefought through and I got tosee the birth of my son; that

was really cool.”De’Andre spent the ma-

jority of his days in early August under the beating

sun during the grind of fallcamp. He studies the latestplaybook, implemented bythe new coaching staff, forhours. The running backmeeting room almost be-came a second home.

After taking a batteringat the hands of the Jay-

hawks’ defense, he wenthome and taking on evenmore. From the moment hesteps in the door, De’Andrehas no chance to relax onthe couch; nine-month-old

Alijah makes sure of that.“I let him just jump onme,” De’Andre said. “He’s a

ball of energy. All he likes todo is eat, and then he wantsto jump and play.”

Although Alijah seemshealthy now, the newestJayhawk in the Mann fam-ily faced a barrage of medi-cal issues last winter.

“I knew it was going to

be a battle for them, so I just prayed,” De’Andre saidof his wife and son. “They

both fought. It’s been in-spiring to me to see the de-

velopment of my son. He’s21 pounds now.”

De’Andre’s other fam-ily — the Kansas running

backs — has been a partof Alijah’s life as well.De’Andre constantly

nds himself askingReggie Mitchell, therunning backs coach,

for not only football ad- vice but family adviceas well.

Alijah has becomeaccustomed to visitsfrom Ke’aun Kinner,and Taylor Cox. Cox-mined that Alijah wasgoing to be an athlete —a much better one than

Alijah’s father.“That boy loves to

jump,” Cox said. “He’sgoing to be able to dunk

by the time he is 12.”Kinner said that he

had a soothing effecton Alijah.

“Usually when I’mover and I’m holdinghim, he’s calm,” Kinnersaid. “I do stuff to makehim laugh. I’ve neverseen him cry. Alijah issomething else.”

On the football eld,De’Andre, was some-thing else as well. He

was the leader of the back eld in his seniorcampaign. He ran for387 yards on 76 carriesand had a touchdownas well. He was secondon the team in rushing

yards. It was eerily similarto his rst ride with Kansas.In his rst year with the

Jayhawks after spendingtwo years at Hartnell Col-lege, he came through with85 carries for 399 yards — a4.7 yards per carry average— in nine games. De’An-dre’s veteran experience atthe collegiate level led himto a leadership role in the

running back meeting roomthroughout his career.

But perhaps the mainreason for that had less todo with his ability on the

eld and more with his ma -turity off of it.

“I like how mature and

grown [De’Andre] is,” Kin-ner said. ”I like seeing howgood he is with Alijah andthat’s inspiring.”

That maturity came fromstruggle. During spring

ball, De’Andre would onlyget an hour or two of sleepmost nights between class,football and his new family.

“I look old now,” De’An-dre said, “but in the spring,I was looking really old.”

Now the former Jay-hawk has another challengein front of him. This fallMann will attempt to makea NFL team. After the con-clusion of the 2016 NFLDraft he signed with the

Atlanta Falcons. He was therst Ja hawk to si n with a

professional team. Howev-er, since he wasn’t drafted itis a long shot that he makesa professional team comenext fall.

But then again the chal-lenges of the upcomingseason don’t seem so intim-idating for De’Andre. Notafter everything that hisson went through.

If at any point doubtseems to have crept into the

back of his mind, however,all he needs to do is look upinto the stands and see histwo biggest fans watchinghim do what he loves best.

A s if good old-fashionedhomework and tests weren’t enough, col-lege students have even moreserious worries associatedwith many of their classes.

Some call it the grade wrecker;others, the soul destroyer. Re-gardless, students at all levelsshudder at the thought of thehorrendous group project.

In spite of general disdainof group projects, profes-sors absolutely love to assignthem. Group projects truly dohave potential to be amazinglearning experiences. A 1992neurobiology study by Drs.Eric Kandel and Robert Haw-kins shows how each person’sbrain architecture is shapedby their unique experiences,demonstrating that learning isintrinsically linked with indi-viduality. In an environmentsuch as a college classroom,where people have come fromall walks of life, students havethe potential to teach eachother how they see the world.

Additionally, a 1984 studyby Carl Benware and EdwardDeci reveals students wholearn new material with theoal to teach others are better

able to learn compared to stu-dents who learn simply to beexamined.

There certainly are ben-e ts to learning from one’speers in a group. However,group projects as typically as-signed in college classroomsare far from the best way to

accomplish this learning.First, teachers lack an under-standing of how logisticallychallenging group presenta-tions are.

Group projects can sti ecreativity rather than encour-age it. As demonstrated by the1951 Asch experiment, 3/4of people are willing to agree

with the obviously incorrectanswer when everyone elsein a small group does. Thistendency to conform meansgroup projects are no guar-antee that the group’s nalproject re ects what everymember of the group believes.Even in small groups, more

vocal members can easilyoutvote their peers, and the

nal product a group turns inimperfectly represents everyperson’s vision.

When grading a groupproject, professors lose theinsight of individual studentsand can only look at whatthe group collectively agreedupon. Instructor perceptionsof group projects are vastlydifferent than that of their stu-dents in other ways as well. A2003 survey of 69 universitystudents conducted by Mar-

ilyn Ford and Jenny Morice,revealed a huge discrepancy between student and facultyperceptions of group assign-ments.

This is in part due tothe fact that while 64 of thestudents reported having

problems with group assign-ments, less than 8 percentapproached their lecturer withthe problems. If instructors

were clear that students cancome to them with concerns,the experience of the groupproject would become morepositive for everyone, as stu-

dents would not need to suffersilently, and professors would

be able to assign and gradeprojects more fairly.

Some professors might beinterested in assigning groupprojects for reasons other thanmerely antagonizing their al-ready-overworked students.In this case, they have a lotmore work to do than simplyassigning a project.

First, professors shouldclearly state their expectationsfor the project, setting stu-dents up for success at work-ing ef ciently as a team. Sec -ond, grading scales should beadjusted so that students arenot depending on perpetuallyabsent or irresponsible peersfor their own scores. Finally,teachers should encouragetheir students to come to them

with concerns.But, take heart, fellow stu-

dents. We can learn a lot fromgroup projects as they are cur-rently being assigned. For ex-ample, I’ve learned time andtime again that sometimesit’s easier to shut up and goalong with what other peopleare saying — also, that trustinganyone ever is a bad idea and

all people are terrible. Theseare valuable lessons that I’msure will stick with me for therest of my life.
