Clockwise from left: Colorful words sprinkled the campus as stu- dents exercised their free speech rights with chalk messages. Bulletin boards across campus provided an outlet for free expression. Campus was literally an easel for students to voice their opinions on important issues such as discrimination.

free your mind Campus provided several outlets for a plethora of opinions. The University of Kansas ' campus was literally a forum for free speech. Students exercising their first amendment rights used the sidewalks to scrib- ble their thoughts on, or they called the University Daily Kansan ' s Free For All line. Free speech outlets were plentiful. Kansan editors decided to add Free For All to provide an anonymous forum for students to voice their opinions. Students called in and left a 20-second message on any subject, and selected comments were published on the Kansan ' s opinion page. Students welcomed the column, and it became one of the most-read features of the paper. Jacob Eubanks, Topeka sophomore, was one of many fans of the column. I enjoy reading it every day, he said. It ' s the only thing 1 read in the paper. It ' s really funny. One of Eubanks ' favorite quotes was: So many freshman girls, so little time. Chris Claus, Kansas City sophomore, said he thought the idea for the column was a gre at idea. It lets people get their opinions out, he said. Matt Leeper, Topeka sophomore, agreed with Claus. It ' s a great thing that students can voice their opinion, he said. It ' s OK for stu- dents to berate things. Isn ' t that what the first amendment freedom of speech is for? Chalk messages pervade campus as well. People use the sidewalks to announce campus and local events, promote Web sites or wish their friends a happy birthday. It made my friend ' s day when I wrote ' Happy Birthday ' at all the entrances of Stauffer-Flint, said Jana Caffrey, Liberty, Mo., senior. I could tell she was a little bit embarrassed, but I knew she was glad I did it. Students messages weren ' t always as accepted. On Oct. 10, Queers Allies mem- bers wrote messages about Coming Out Day in front of the Kansas Union. The next morning, Facilities Operations employees found some profane messages, such as It ' s a lot sweeter when both have a peter, and they erased them. Though free speech fueled controversy, KU students appreciated a campus envi- ronment that allowed them to voice their opinions. As Willie McDowell, Topeka freshman, put it, Mmm, free for all. Now that ' s a good idea! Story by Jodi Danziger Photos by Trent Guyer

Uncommon Labor ob hunting was a stressful time for most University of Kansas students. They had their bills to pay, clothes to buy, books to accumulate. Some settled for the everyday jobs of grocery store clerk, waitress or cloth- ing retailer. But there were a handful of students that ventured into the unusual. Students looked for the strange and unusual tasks on campus and off. Some students brought along the jobs that they were already used to before college. Becky Young, Atchison freshman, followed in her moth- er and sister ' s footsteps - as a clown. Young had performed as a clown since she was seventeen and charged $50 to $100 dollars an hour for some clown entertainment. I perform once or twice a month; that ' s pretty good for clowning, Young said. Twisting balloons, juggling and just clowning around were in her repertoire, yet she was not the con- ventional clown. Young wore blue face paint, instead of the traditional white, and a long curly rainbow col- ored wig. Summer Clown Camp was on Young ' s schedule over the summer where she was the youngest clown. We learned how to put our make-up on better, juggle, twist balloons - it was a lot of fun, Young said. Although Young said that she would not mind being a clown forever, it was not her primary source of income. It can be so draining, Young said. Hannah Bergstrom, Loveland, Colo., junior, encountered her share of Lawrence celebrities at Alvamar Country Club, where she was the beverage cart girl. Bergstrom had former University of Kansas basketball player Jacque Vaughn tell her that she was unlucky. He was having a bad game and jokingly blamed it on me, Bergstrom said. During the summer and into the fall, if the weather permitted, Bergstrom drove the cart filled with beer, All-Sport, water and other beverages around the golf course. Not only had she catered to Vaughn, she had served the likes of Roy Williams, Terry Allen, Scot Pollard, Danny Manning and state Senator Sandy Praeger. The job got hot, but she said it was worth it. I talk to some of these guys a lot now, Bergstrom said. There were also some unique on-campus jobs that allowed students to learn while they worked. Alex Schippers, Hoxie sophomore, worked for the Services for Students with Disabilities on campus. She had many responsibilities, but recording novels and class readings on audio tape for the blind and learning dis- abled was the main responsibility. She had deadlines for when the tapes had to be turned in, but for the most part, she could pick her own hours. I can work anywhere from five to twenty hours per week, she said. She did run into some problems though. I had to read a novel with a lot of Spanish in it, Schippers said. I have no background in Spanish. She ran into the same problem with a book that contained Japanese. To alleviate the problem, Schippers had to look up the pronunciations of each word and try to pronounce them on the tape. According to Schippers, there are some pros and cons to the job. I get to work at home, Schippers said. But it ' s hard to sit down and read someone else ' s book when I have my own reading to do.
