Editor's Note
Ahhh – spring break. Sweeter words were never spoken. Relaxing by the beach, hanging out in a hotel room with your friends, tropical evenings surrounded by wildly attractive, half-naked people, or at least that's the way I picture everyone else's spring breaks. So far mine have been spent picking up extra work shifts for vacationing co-workers. It makes it really fun to hear classmates recounting tales of steamy nights with cold drinks when all I have to share is the week's inventory reports.
This year, however, I'm going to New York with my mom. We probably won't have sun or sand, but we will be able to spend some much needed time together in a fabulous city. The trip won't be entirely pleasure; I'll be doing interviews to try to eke out a spot in the workforce for when I graduate in May. And my mom doesn't know yet, but we're staying at a one-star hotel that's practically in Harlem. At least I won't be working there.
Inside
But for those of you who won't be leaving Lawrence, or spending all of your time covering others' shirts, check out "Stuck in the Middle" on page 17 for advice on having an exciting vacation without going out of the area. If you're traveling by car, look for "Hit the Road, Jack" on page six and get your vehicle up to par. And for car-time munchies that won't make you sick, flip to page four's "Greaseless Grab & Go." No matter where you're going, if you're going to be in close quarters with friends for the week, you'll need a plan to survive. So make sure to read "When Tension Mounts" on page six.

And if my mom and I survive our vacation in the cheap hotel in an unfamiliar neighborhood, I too will have some stories to tell. I hope it will be that I got a job.
