letter from the editor
Welcome to the University of Kansas, summer edition. Whether you're in Lawrence for the first time or a seasoned veteran of the "River City",you're in for an experience.
The University is a microcosm of the city that houses it; it's a great place to be during any season, but it takes on a special atmosphere in the summer. When a large portion of the student body skips town for a few months, life doesn't stop.
but it slows down.

We at The University Daily Kansan want to convey that same action. While our publication technically turns into a weekly affair, we're proud to keep the daily in our masthead. That's because we put the same commitment into each of our stories in the summer as we do during the fall and spring semesters. We may only put out a print version once a week, but Kansan.com will be updated more frequently. Our hope is that you, the reader, will continue to rely on the Kansan for your news and entertainment.
The best way for us to ensure that this happens is through open communication. We want to know your news, and we want to know what you think of what we're doing. Shoot us an e-mail or give us a call when something is on your mind.
On behalf of myself and the entire summer staff, Welcome.
Schmidt is a Liberal senior in journalism. He is Kansan summer editor.
