HEALTHY EATING
Nutritious snacks for every college budget
STELLA LIANG editor@kansan.com

Here are some suggestions for healthier snacks. As an added bonus, these suggestions won't break budgets, either.

Jon O'Neal, former student and KU Filmworks instructor, speaks at the campus screening of his film, "Au Pair, Kansas." His film won multiple awards at the Cannes Independent Film Festival.
