My fraternity brothers at Sigma Phi Epsilon called with support and attended the candelight vigil, visitation and funeral. Later, the Vice President sent me an email letting me know he had talked with the Ali's former sorority at K- State, Pi Beta Phi. He talked with their philanthropy chairperson about doing a philanthropy with both of our houses since Ali was such an important part of us both. This discussion led to the idea of a Run to Remember Ali for the KU v. KSU football game. The goal was to have people from both houses run a football with each member's signature from Manhat- tanto Lawrence. Members would collect donations for the event, but due to Kansas law, we were unable to run the entire distance. Pi Phi brought two footballs, one signed by their entire house and another by their football team, to join the footballs signed by Sig Ep and the KU football team. We met at the Sig Ep house and we all walked to the game together, along with Ali's dad, Roger Kemp. Once we arrived at our tailgate, we presented Mr. Kemp with the footballs and a gigantic check with an estimate of how much both our houses would raise for the foundation. The game turned out as everyone thought, with KSU beating KU 64-0. After the game, two local bars, layhawk Cafe and Bullwinkle's, had tip jars and cover charges to raise money for our philanthropy. ln the end, our house had the most successful philanthropy for a great cause while supporting one of the broth- ers. Between both houses, we were able to raise over Sl 3,000 to donate to the Ali Kemp Foundation. The foundation is in a formative stage, but will award scholarships based on need as well as promote violence awarencess for students in middle school through college. Doing things like this has helped me deal with the sadness from the loss of my best friend and girlfriend. lt was also great to see two organizations from rival schools come together to support each other and raise money in Ali's name.

Sugartown USA on Massachusetts Street buys and sells used clothing. Sugartown featured a large selection of jeans and vintage clothing. Erin Osburn, Olathe senior, freshman, looks through a rack of clothing for a vintage t-shirt at Sugartown USA. Holding a pair of pants, a girl, Eplee judges the size and potential fit of a pair of pants at Sugartown USA. Looking for something different to wear tonight? How about a low-priced something to wear? Who isn't, is more like it. Students around Lawrence flocked to Massachusetts Street to check out some of the most fabulous stores in town -thrift stores. While sifting through Arizona Trading Company's racks, Erin Osbourn, Olathe senior, said lt's just so refreshing to go into thrift stores as opposed to department stores because you can create your own style. When it comes to finding individuality in clothing, these stores really hit home for a lot of students. ltjust allows you to be so creative, Lindsay Eplee, Atchinson sophomore, said. Trying to put together a complete outift or just looking for something fun, Mass St. thrift stores were many students' one-stop shops. I am always looking for a good pair of cords, Eplee said. For most students, that was just what thrift stores were all about -finding clothing that mirrors their fun, creative and individual selves. The walls of Sugartown USA were covered with Asian-inspired drawings in deep pinks and blacks. Arizona Trading Co. favored a retro-like atmosphere with very colorful and clever employee-made posters. Mannequins at Arizona Trading Co. are dressed in funky outfits and wild accessories. Outside of those two popular Mass Street stores, Flush was just around the block on Ninth Street. Flush is somewhat of a secret to Mass Street shoppers because it's not on the average shoppers main path. The store features men's and women's clothing, shoes and accessories. Flush is adjacent to a lava Break. We're different because we have a lot of new stuff, like hats, scarves, belt buck- les, Matt Klein, Flush employee, said. And as far as our resale items, we buy differ- ently than the other stores in the area. We're a little more outgoing as far as what we buy and more willing to take a little more of a risk. We're not as conservative. campus life Zi
