Just 16 days ago, the Kansas women's basketball team was ranked in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll and received votes from the Associated Press. Kansas lost to defending national champion Texas A&M, but bounced back with a victory over Texas at home.

{From the Editor}
I hate the winter cold, but damn. am I a sucker for snow. If it's going to be sub freezing, dreary and cloudy for
subfreezing, dreary and cloudy for days on end. I want those clouds to have a silver lining. And I want it in the shape of those completely unique, frosty crystals that grab hold so beautifully of everything they touch.
My birthday is December 15, and my favorite gift as a kid was layer of fresh powder. My friends and classmates with summer birthdays got to have pool parties, barbeques, camp-outs and trips to amusement parks. I got to choose between going to the skating rink and having a sleepover. Not that those are bad birthday parties, but after your third slee-
power, they kind of lose their appeal. The snow was something special, something that the warm glory of summer could never provide.
Snow's ability to alleviate my winter blues hasn't lessened as I've grown up. It puts a ivory sheen on the season's drab grayness, and offers relief from cabin fever when there's enough on the ground to go sledding or start a snowball fight. I'm totally one of those 'big kids' that hits the hills on campus after a fresh falling of snow. My favorite spot is the hill between Memorial Stadium and JRP Hall (but please, keep the secret under wraps if we get another good snow. I don't want my spot to get overrun).
The scarcity of snowfall this winter makes me appreciate it all the more. Check out pages eight and nine to see Chris Bronson's photo feature of the first legitimate snow on campus this winter. Snow may make for a troublesome trek to class, but the buildings look so much more beautiful and inviting covered with a soft blanket of white.
