This fall,
I will (all
catastrophes
aside) finish
my education
at the University
of Kansas.
Before I go, I have been given the chance to serve as editor of Jayplay, the only magazine I have read religiously since my freshman year.
I love this university for a lot of reasons: KU basketball, the view from the hill behind Blake Hall and the colors of campus as fall creeps into the trees.
Read what excites your fellow students about coming back to school on pg.8, and then ask yourself what Kansas has done or could do to educate you—that is, outside of that whole academics thing.
Then check out what advice a Kansas graduate has for current students in Grad Check on pg.11.
Jaime Netzer, editor
Have great semester and remember to make Jaylapt part of your Thursday.
