PAGE 2 THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2012 WELCOME BACK THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Quick eggs, tuition hikes, and football **Should I Facebook-friend my instructor?"** *where can I get some decent local coffee?"* **"Does the Route 11 still stop in front of my apartment?"* Welcome back! As the editor of this Back To School special section, I invite you to please flip through and read whatever answers your questions or interests you, or makes you laugh. Throughout this section, our summer reporters show you how to save money, spend your freetime constructively and live efficiently. If you're an incoming freshman living in the dorms without a stove, you want to flip to page 23, where Viraj Amin gives you cool microwaveable recipes. From personal experience, the omelette in a mug works very well as a quick breakfast meal. If you're not a native Kansan, on page 50 Roya Ibrahimi suggests Kansas landmarks you should visit before your time here is up. If you're an upperclass student, you want to check page 41 to see if you still fall under your parents' insurance, or page 45 to see if the Kansas Board of Regents increased your tuition from last year. We also have the football schedule and non-conference men's basketball schedule on page 54. Kansas football has a new celebrity head coach in Charlie Weis, while Bill Self tries to take the basketball team one step further than last year — to an NCAA championship. 2012 is the 100-year anniversary of the Jayhawk, homecoming and The University Daily Kansan. So Victoria Pitcher gives you a list of memorable traditions that have passed through the University on page 20. TABLE OF CONTENTS Buoyed by basketball, there's much excitement at this university. I hope you find this special section useful in figuring out how to live, learn, and graduate on time.
