Articles in the magazine are written by students in the magazine's Campus Consultant Program. More than 400 members of the program also help market the magazine on their college's campus by providing written material, such as blogs. Kansan managing editor Jonathan Keal-
ing contributed to the magazine during the fall semester.
Keane said she had not heard any feedback on the switch from print to online editions. The types of stories in the magazine easily translate online because of their visual elements, including pictures and online polls, Keane said.
Two years ago, the magazine was available in Thursday edi-
tion's of The University Daily Kansan.
Earlier this year, however, Sports Illustrated announced its college sports magazine would be available to students through an agreement with the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association. As part of the agreement, the magazine would be available at student recreation centers that are members
of the NIRSA.
Keane said the magazine went from being inserted into college newspapers to distribution at student recreation centers because the company expanded the number of schools that received SI On Campus, from 74 to 150 when the switch was made.

what became the Betty Grinwood Thanksgiving Homestay Exchange Program in 1954. The University named the program after Tom's mother, Betty, after her death in 1993.
The program gives students the opportunity to see the daily lives of a small town, Grimwood said. Some students have kept up with the Grimwoods. Grimwood said he got an e-mail from a couple who had Thanksgiving dinner in Burns in 1958. The couple now live in France and
Burns has gotten some notice for the exchange. In 1959, then Vice President Richard Nixon said, "Burns, Kan., is the smallest U.S. community with the biggest foreign diplomatic service in the world."
Thanksgiving abroad
Students away from the United States make due with their own celebrations.

low-key lunch-dinner medley to celebrate.
"Unfortunately, the only turkeys available here are the ones that apparently didn't get their daily dose of steroids, so they're seemingly pumy," Bormholdt said.
He said Americans he knew were planning a big Thanksgiving dinner for about 40 students.
Ann Marie Harris, Jenks, Okla.. junior, is cooking dinner with her American roommate for her host family in Angers, France.
Harris' host father is a French chef, and the family decided it would be fun for the two girls to
cook dinner for the family. Harris said some of the difficulties making the meal would include converting recipes from the metric system and translating ingredients into French. Harris said the family had never heard of cranberries.
Thanksgiving may not be as traditional for students studying abroad or away from home here. Whether they take it easy as Goericke does, or are visiting a new place, having new experiences is something they can be thankful for.
With 11 groups and only five spots in this year's Rock Chalk Revue, students waited last night for word if they were in or out last night.

The five groups that made it were Beta Theta and Kappa Alpha Theta, Chi Omega and Phi Delta Theta, Delta Gamma and Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Upsilon and Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Sigma Chi and Pi Beta Phi.
Rock Chalk Revue performers chosen
All groups submitted a production notebook complete with script, lyrics, costumes and

character sketches to the Rock Chalk directors who scored and then chose the too five.
"There are a lot of entries that are high-caliber entries," said Michael Rapp, Leawood junior and promotions coordinator. "It should be really exciting."
The five groups will begin practicing for this year's show that will hit the stage beginning March 9 and run until March 11 at the Lied Center.
Ticket sales from the three performances will go to the United Way of Douglas County. Last year, the performance raised $20,000.

It could take 10 years to make repairs to all the roofs that need them, not to mention the rest of the repairs needed, said Mark Reiske, associate director of Design and Construction Management.
Robinson Center and Watkins Memorial Health Center are two that are in desperate need.
"You could go down Jawhawk Boulevard and just start naming buildings," and any of them would need their roofs repaired, Reiske said.
The universities would still be responsible for funding the general upkeep of the facilities. The University will still replace doors and elevators, for instance, said Lindy Eakin, vice provost of Administration and Finance.
"It's like owning a house. When the toilet needs fixing or the shower head needs replacing, I can do it," Eakin said. "But when it needs a new roof, I need help."
PLAN DETAILS
Edited by Patrick Ross
The five key components to the long-term funding plan.
1. Existing building space will be evaluated before construction for new buildings is approved.
2. Now, fund allocation for buildings is based on the square footage of the building. Under the plan, funds would consider age and complexity of the building.
3. Funding would be available for new buildings built with private funds.
4. The $584 million maintenance backlog would be fixed by a $150 million bond issue, and sales taxes will be raised one-tenth of a cent.
5. A permanent increase of $1 million to the Educational Building Fund would provide guaranteed funding.
