THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003
STINSON'S VIEW
Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan
Take ownership of Kansas content
PERSPECTIVE
It's summer, but The University Daily Kansan is still around. It's around once a week on Wednesdays, but it's still around.
It looks a little different, but if you hold it at an angle and squint with your right eye closed, you can tell it's related to its siblings, the fall and spring publications of the same name. To make the most of our workforce, downsized for the summer, we're publishing weekly in tabloid format.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Lindsay Hanson
lhanson@kansan.com
The format is different, but the goal is the same: We work to bring campus news to you, the students.
Because the paper is weekly, we're looking for news that you'll want to keep around for a while. And with less activity on campus, we'll be covering more stories that focus on student life. When a new bar
opens, we're on it. When Justin Timberlake comes to town with the Blackeyed Peas in July — we're keeping our fingers crossed — we'll be there. And we'll bring heart-wrenching stories about the effects of the city's new anti-fireworks ordinance on students suffering from pyromania.
That's not to say we're neglecting the
newswier stories. Look for updates on the search for a new athletics director. Look for coverage on the opening of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. And look online at Kansan.com for daily updates on what's happening between the Wednesday publications.
It's summer, but the Kansan is still your forum.
This is where you come in: Let us know what you're doing. Tell us what you think of our coverage by calling the Free for All and writing letters to the editor or guest columns.
The point is, don't just sit in class and point at the mistakes we're making. Take some ownership.
