TABLE OF CONTENTS Alright, Jayplay readers. Fall Break is upon you. You're looking at four days off. That's 96 hours of freedom—now you just have to decide which parties to grace with your presence or where to head with that full tank of gas. Here are three perfect ways to celebrate this break: Walk on campus. Without a backpack, an iPod, or a specific destination, it's a totally different experience. Kick off a season of warm winter drinks by making yourself a mug of hot chocolate or fresh apple cider—and, if desired, add the liquor of your choice. - Sift through your music and create your very own autumn-friendly playlist or mix CD. A new season should mean new tunes, too. Look for more ways to make the most of Fall Break throughout this issue, from travel ideas on pg. 12 to a helpful pre-break health regimen on pg. 7. Also be sure to check out Jay Play's, the new editors' blog on www.kansan.com. We'll be blogging about living life in Lawrence and all that it entails. Above all, get some rest!
