I almost always eat at home, and most meals revolve around brown rice or pasta, the staples of any cheap diet. But once a week, I can count on one treat: a delicious roasted-red-pepper pizza from Rudy's Pizzeria. I've been taking advantage of the Wednesday $3/$9/57 deal at Rudy's since before I was a KU student. I first went there in high school while visiting my sister, who was then a KU student, and ate there every week. Five years later, I'm continuing that tradition. Sure, the main reason I eat there every week is because it's a great deal. For about $6, I can get a medium pizza that makes for two or three meals. But I've come to look forward to Wednesdays for more than that. After three busy weekdays, the regularity of my Wednesday nights is comforting. I enjoy going downtown with my roommates and spending an hour drinking beer, eating pizza and catching up. The employees remember my name (although they always misspell it), and the din of the crowded restaurant drowns out any stressful thoughts on my mind. It's become a way for me to unwind. Check out Andrea's story on page 5 and learn about weekly specials at various area businesses. Who knows, you could find your very own form of weekly stress relief. // SEAN ROSNER, EDITOR **EDITOR** // Sean Rosner **ASSOCIATE EDITOR** // Alex Garrison **DESIGNERS** // Laura Fisk, Liz Schulte **CONTACT** // Mia Iverson, Hailey Osterhaus **HEALTH** // Kirsten Hudson, Amy Johnson **MANUAL** // Francesca Chambers, Patrick De Oliveira, Andrea Olsen **NOTICE** // Hannah DeClerk, Kelci Shipley, Valerie Skubal **PLAY** // Sarah Bluvas, Zach Getz, Jake Lerman **CONTRIBUTORS** // Mike Anderson, Clayton Ashley, Taylor Brown, Amber Jackson, Chelsea Johnson, KJHK music staff, Sasha Lund, Landon McDonald, Abby Olcese, Brett Phillippe, Nicolas Roesler, Amanda Sorell **CREATIVE CONSULTANT** // Carol Holstead **CONTACT US** // jayplay09@gmail.com JAYPLAY The University Daily Kansan (785) 864-4810 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jayhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 3 09 03 09
