4C. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KANSAS RELAYS

Editor's Note
I came to the University of Kansas my junior year as a transfer student, convinced that everyone but me knew all the dirty tricks of campus.
I thought perhaps freshmen had secret meetings in their dorm rooms discussing which parking lots were never full, how many times you needed to pound on certain vending machines to get free soda and which classes you could take and never have to show up. I remember being really pissed off during the last week of one of my Spanish classes when I overheard some students talking about a Web site they'd found on Blackboard that had had the correct answers to the majority of the homework we'd done during the semester. I had been sweating it out the old-fashioned way, actually doing all the verb conjugations myself. Parking lot "turking" was also a novel concept for me. The first time someone slowly drove behind me when I was walking to my car, I thought they wanted to give me a ride home.
Well, we're here to give you a few more sly tips to use to your advantage. On page 17, Lynn Hamilton tells you how to pass Western Civil without doing any of the assigned reading and gives you an almost fair-proof way to score a parking spot. Because we here at Japlay think lessons in corruption are as important as anything you could learn in class.
