Jayplay aims toward local entertainment
LETTER FROM THE JAYPLAY EDITOR
Welcome back to the entertainment mecca that is the University of Kansas.
Look around you. The eager freshmen dancing in the Chi Omega Fountain, the lone guitarist playing in front of the Union, the black polish on your new roommate's fingernails, the sororities reciting chants on front steps in the waning summer heat - it's all pretty entertaining, isn't it?
Sarah Smarsh ssmarsh@kansan.com
Still, you're a busy person. You might need help sifting through this realm of amusing events, personalities and oddities. That's our job here at Jayplay, a weekly section aimed at giving you the fun stuff. So while you'll find the traditional entertainment worlds of movies and music addressed in these pages, you'll also find interesting tales from students like yourself, an extensive events calendar to help navigate your weekend, and of course returning favorites Tongue in Beak and the illustrious sex column by Meghan Bainum.
With the addition of a food section, a book reviewer and a fashion columnist (watch next week for that one). Jayplay is broadening its scope. At the same time, we hope to narrow its focus to local angles. While this issue's content meanders beyond KU and Lawrence territory, your contribution of otherwise obscured goings-on will help us bring your entertaining worlds into the spotlight. So let us know when
you're going sky-diving, hosting a mullet party, teaching a craft-making class at a nursing home, starting a band or remodeling your porch with bamboo shoots.
We've done some remodeling of our own. The change to Jayplay's format reflects its increasingly magazine-like identity, and renders the section easier to handle, though it will still leave ink on your fingers. For ink-free entertainment access, look for online goodies like audio clips, useful links and additional photos at kansan.com.
Give Jayplay a look every Thursday, if orly to remind yourself that the weekend is just around the corner. And while the section will come to you only once a week, you'll find plenty of ways to amuse yourself in the meantime. Just look around.
