well-structured and well-run."
Sandwiched between a' float representing the state of Florida and Marine personnel, the trumpet ensemble finally began marching the 1.3 mile parade at 4:45 p.m.

Despite the parade being delayed until later in the day; the University's Trumpet Ensemble played an arrangement of Kansas's state song "Home on the Range" for approximately 800,000 people who braved the cold.
With the parade finished, the ensemble packed, went out for dinner and re-boarded the bus to return home yesterday.
Assistant Director of Bands Sharon Toulouse, who has experience in the D.C. area, was overjoyed when Leisring invited her to join the Ensemble for the D.C. trip.
"It's important to know how much support the Trumpet Ensemble got from the school, the state and people from all over who saw the opportunity." Toulouse said. "We've very grateful and thankful for allowing this opportunity to happen."
Director Leisring said the quality of students and the quality of education in the School of Music has made the opportunity such a success.

Construction of the major renovations will begin on Commencement Weekend and continue to mid August.

from eight to 11. New carpets will also be installed, and half walls will be removed.
"We are bringing everything up to date," said Sheryle Kidwell, assistant director of residential dining for KU Memorial Unions. "We are well overdue, and it's time to change up the concepts and time to bring E's back to where it was 20 years ago. We want to stay up on what is popular. We need to have a place we're proud of."

Over break, Mrs. E's at the Ekdahl Dining Commons underwent the construction of their newly renovated entrance.
In preparation for the summer 2013 renovations, a student task force was arranged. The task force includes international students and students with special dietary needs.
"The food allergy section shouldn't be behind the dessert section. Desserts are the most allergy prone foods," said Lauren Wismer, a senior from Overland Park.
"Right now there is nowhere near enough variety," Ott said. "There also needs to be more space."
Alyssa Ott, a freshman from Dallas, is also in favor of the renovations.

buck," Loos said of partnering with the University. "The developer has offered financing for less for everybody, including the city."
According to a press release issued by KU Athletics, the track and football stadium will be able to seat up to 10,000 people, the softball stadium 1,500 and the soccer stadium 2,500. The total cost will be $39 million, spread out over 30 years instead of an estimated $50 million, thanks to the partnership with the KU Endowment Association and Thomas and Dru Fritzel of Bliss Sports.
"By partnering and coming together, we can build in one location and save some on that infrastructure cost," Shaw said. "We're being able to share resources without duplicating in separate locations."
Loos thinks the project will benefit the University as well as the entire city by drawing in tourists for KU events and youth athletic tournaments, and in turn, more revenue from retail.
"We're continuing to develop a better relationship between KU and the city," Loos said. "It's really been driven not only from a growth standpoint but also an economic standpoint, and bringing more into the city."
Although the two projects are separate, Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger shares Loos's belief in the joint effort bringing prosperity to Lawrence.

"If all the facilities are together
er, it will be a more vibrant park and it will be more of an economic engine for Lawrence," Zenger said.
Zenger's intention in building the park is to bring the track and field, soccer and softball facilities up to par not only with those in the Big 12, but with universities nationwide.
"Now more than ever, you have to stay at a certain level, not just with the competitiveness of your teams, but your facilities," he said.
By increasing the prestige of the arenas and changing the game day atmosphere, having state-of-the-art facilities will also aid in competing for recruits. Women's soccer coach Mark Francis said
the impact the new stadium will have on recruiting would most likely be the biggest difference.
"It's going to be like night and day. It will put us on an even playing field with the rest of the conference from a facilities standpoint," he said.
Francis said every athletic director in his 14 years of coaching at the University has told him that soccer would receive a new facility.
"I'm grateful to them that they've made it happen and it's a reality now," Francis said. "That's very reassuring and I'm appreciative."
