GO
SLEDDING
One of the largest hills in the area, the hill by the Campanile is sure to allow you an exhilarating sledding experience. And it's a University tradition. If you can't make it over to the Campanile, the hill behind Ellsworth will do. And if you don't borrow a tray from Mrs.E's, your laundry basket, believe it or not, will work.
ANNOY KU
INFO
With their new office in Anschutz Library, KU Info is more prepared than ever to answer your questions about the University
frequented if they were KU students.
Too lazy to look up the dates for add-drop dates? Give them a call and let the celebrated KU Info staffers do the work for you.
GRAB A SLICE OF PIZZA AT THE WHEEL
SET FOOT IN EVERY UNIVERSITY BUILDING
If you're not quite ready for The Burrito King, stop by The Wheel, 507 W. 14t St., after last call to observe the boisterous atmosphere. And the pizza makes it worth it, too. Grab a warm, gooey slice of cheese with ranch dressing or honey. This is probably one of the few places in Lawrence your parents may have
To have a rich KU experience you must be familiar with the geography of the campus. Over a course
pus. Over a course of four years, or more for some of us, you will most likely have classes in a variety of buildings, but not all of them. Take an afternoon to explore Smith Hall or Snow Hall and know that expanding your knowledge of the
University will make your college experience that much better.
GET PUBLISHED IN THE FREE FOR ALL
Perhaps the first thing you flip to in your Kansan everyday, the Free for All is an excellent distraction during a boring class. And for those of you who have called in and actually were published, it's even more stimulating to open the paper on a dull morning and see your words in print. So call in, let the words roll out of your mouth and say what you want. Bitch about your stinky roommate, a fascist professor or other annoying people on campus. If the mood strikes you, you can say some thing positive, too.
MAKE A MEAL THAT REQUIRES
A RECIPE
This goes along with the whole living-on-your-own thing. Cooking can actually be fun and costs less than eating out all the time. And you have the freedom to make whatever you are in the mood for. When you can prepare mean batch of chicken and dumplings,you know that you're ready for any challenge life may bring you.
GO TO THE LAWRENCE FARMERS' MARKET
For fresh, locally grown goods such as veggies, fruits and flowers, stop by the Lawrence Farm-
on Saturdays in
on Saturdays in August. If you can't get out of bed, then go on Tuesdays and Thursdays through October, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Pick out some ingredients for your homemade dinner.
EAT ALL THREE MEALS IN A DAY AT MRS. E'S
Cafeteria food gets a bad wrap, but KU students on Daisy Hill are truly blessed. Mrs. E's is a dorm diner's dream. All-you-can-eat and whatever you want from pasta to pizza, from meatloaf to veggie burgers. And don't forget dessert. Choices range from frozen yogurt to the best-the Tollhouse cookie pie. Make an effort to eat three meals in one day at Mrs. E's at least once to
PAY ALL YOUR PARKING TICKETS
You may have been thinking you can leave the University with outstanding parking tickets, and nobody will know. Wrong. Do you can get away without paying your tickets? Rita Jordan, supervisor for the KU Parking Department says your transcript will be held until you pay your tickets This makes it difficult to find a job after graduation since some employers will want to see your transcript, so pay up.
CHALK THE SIDEWALKS
PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER
You aren't a true college student until you've had an "oh crap" moment at 11 p.m. the night before a paper or project is due. So you down a couple of Red Bulls and work furiously through the night so you can pull out a decent grade. It's all part of the college experience.
A KU tradition usually reserved for bars advertising their weekly specials, but more often used by clubs and organizations wishing to get the word out. If you've never chalked before, pick your favorite person and advertise their birthday. If you're into a public display of affection, perhaps you can chalk a wedding proposal for all to see on Wescoe Beach.
SEE ALL ATHLETIC TEAMS AT LEAST ONCE
This may seem challenging, but there is time to get this
