LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
As summer quickly approaches, the weather is getting warmer, the flowers are blooming and, unfortunately, it is becoming harder and harder to stay focused. We have put together our final apartment guide to help make the stress of finding an apartment and organizing a lease less of a burden on students. It can be an easy and enjoyable search that leads you to a great apartment if you pay attention and plan ahead:
Renting your own apartment for the first time can become overwhelming when you begin to realize all of the work that goes into finding the perfect new pad, but a few helpful tips and advice from fellow University students can expedite the process. And if you're feeling overwhelmed or agitated with housing or apartments in Lawrence, check out our breakdown of housing expenses among other Big 12 universities.
With the nice weather comes outdoor activities and that includes gardening. The KU Farming Club allows University students who do not have the space to plant, the areas and resources to make gardening easy and convenient. And with Earth Day on April 22 we've included tips on how to respect the environment by learning how and where to recycle in Lawrence.
Most of us have spent the year in the same
apartment, and for some that meant dealing with a terrible landlord for the last 10 or 12 months. To avoid living in an unkempt place run by an unprofessional landlord in the future, read the stories and advice from other students who have been through similar situations.
Finally, as many of us leave this area to spend our summers elsewhere, others choose to spend this time in beautiful Lawrence. Read our tips on how to secure summer housing and you're sure to find a place you love.

alongside the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control's website, tuberculosis is spread when a person with the disease in his or her lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. People nearby may become infected when breathing in the tuberculosis bacteria. The disease is not spread by physical contact such as shaking hands or sharing food and drink.

Only those who spent time in a confined space with the infected student are at risk of developing tuberculosis and those at risk have already been notified.
The University encourages students and ifaculty to visit the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department's webpage for more information.
Last Thursday in a hearing, Jayhawkers' appeal to the disqualification was turned down by the Court of Appeals based on multiple conflicts of interest in multiple coalitions. The appeal was then expedited to the University Judicial Board and the board is slated to make a decision within a week or so.
Until the next student body president and vice president are determined, the current executive staff said in a press release that they will continue to work diligently and await a timely decision. They also said they trust the UIB will make a decision that upholds the integrity of the Student Senate elections process.
However, if the University Judicial Board calls for another hearing, a decision might take several weeks.
mely said it is possible the Court of Appeals will issue another injunction, which means voting results could be released later than Friday.
