Dr. Pepper is launching its new web site, which will contain an interactive magazine containing articles submitted by college writers.

Almanacs disagree; winter forecasts vary
By Cameron Heeg Kansan staff writer
Get ready to break out the gloves, hats and coats. The winter weather predictions are in.
The National Weather Service and various farmer's almanacs recently released their long-range forecasts for the winter season.
Farmer's Almanac predicts that a series of severe storms moving in from the east will bring heavy snow of 12 or more inches across the Plains state. But Old Farmer's Almanac calls for a relatively dry winter in Kansas. Which one will be correct?
More times than not, the collection of farmer's almanac predictions are incorrect, said Donna Tucker, assistant professor of meteorology, who is involved with the atmospheric science program at the University of Kansas.
"The almanacs stink," Tucker said. "They make a lot of noise when they are right, but it's like tossing darts. You can get lucky sometimes. Just go back to the records, and you can see that they don't get it right very often."
The National Weather Service,
with its high-tech equipment, doesn't depend on luck, but it still uses vague generalizations in its winter forecast. According to the service, this winter's snowfall and temperatures will be near average. Snowfall averages in the area for the winter are about 20 inches and temperatures average about 30 degrees.
Last winter was normal, with temperatures averaging 34 degrees and 19.1 inches of snow.
"Most people would disagree on last winter being average because the past couple of years before had been mild. It wasn't that bad," Tucker said.
Mike McDonald, Tulsa, Okla., senior, is one person who disagrees about last winter's average nature.
Noah Musser/KANSAN
"Kansas winters are terrible," McDonald said. "My eyelids froze shut last winter when I was walking to class. The wind is much worse here than it is in Oklahoma."
When high winds and low temperatures mix, the National Weather Service alerts the public with a wind chill warning.
In addition to the wind chill warnings, this area typically encounters a few heavy snow warnings of four inches or more each winter, Tucker
said.
Kansas has experienced harsher winters in the past. In the winter of 1911-1912,67 inches of snow pounded the state. On the other end of the spectrum, only 4.5 inches of snow fell in the 1922-23 winter.

If all the world's indeed a stage, then the department of English is about to meet a major player.
A leading scholar of William Shakespeare and 17th century British literature will present a free lecture at 7:30 tonight at the Malott Room in the Kansas Union.
The department is sponsoring The Skull and the Scrivener: Orality and Writing in Hamlet by Leah S. Marcus, a professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin.
"I rank her as one of the most important scholars of Renaissance literature internationally," said Marjorie Swann, assistant professor of English.
Marcus will examine how literature participated in the social upheaval of the late 16th and 17th centuries.
"Marcus is a very important,very innovative scholar of early modern period studies," Swann said. "She's very sophisticated about the way literature and other historical forms are related, but she's very accessible."
Marcus is known nationally for her work in textual editing, literary theory and gender issues. She has written three books, Childhood and Cultural Despair, The Politics of Mirth and Puzzling Shakespeare.
"Ever since 1986, I've been trying to persuade the English department to bring her here," Hardin said.
"Marcus' interpretations focus on critical awareness rather than simple historical facts," Hardin said. "I call it 'streetwise historicism.' It's much more rooted in out-of-the-way historical information."
Shakespeare's Renaissance-era themes still apply to life today, said Jennifer Huffard, Bartlesville, Okla., senior.
Richard Hardin, professor of English, said Marcus's approach to Shakespeare contrasted the usual academic handling of the Bard.
Swann took another approach to Shakespeare's work.
"I think that Shakespeare's not timeless," she said. "He's rooted in the era in which he wrote. That's Marcus's point. Nonetheless, we are constantly reinterpreting Shakespeare as we reinterpret our relationship to history."
"Shakespeare deals with so many issues that we're still dealing with every day — love, jealousy, family, relationships," she said. "And he did it all with such a unique twist. We never saw anything like it before, and we haven't seen anything like it since."
