The mail always came at 10:30 a.m. sharp. I would run outside, sort through the letters and, most of the time, sigh heavily and walk back inside, disappointed that there wasn't an envelope with my name printed across the front. (News from the outside world was rare for my 8-year-old self.)
But, on the rare occasion there was something for me, I squealed and ran inside to my room, ripping open the letter and hastily reading the scribbles of my Girl Scout camp pen pal, also named Anna.
instead, later losing touch all together.
Anna and I were best friends, even after only knowing each other for a week at camp. Writing letters back and forth felt personal, like we were part of some secret club that only communicated in Jane Austen-era simplicity. However, we spoke in a much less dignified manner. We talked about boys, horses, why we were angry with our parents that week and how we would be best friends forever.
For a couple years after, Anna and I continued to write each other, but letters soon lost their appeal and we moved to email
Despite my impatience to actually write letters, I still love receiving them. Receiving something tangible that I can add to a life-long collection of pen pal letters, notes from camp and little slips of paper telling me the latest grade school gossip is nostalgic in a way.
While I was in New York this summer, I got a postcard from one of my best friends, filled with inside jokes and a short update of her life. So, of course, I wrote her back on a wonderfully tacky New York postcard. I felt like I was passing notes in sixth grade again.
For more on hand-written letters, check out Molly's story on page 13, and don't be afraid to write a few of your own. I've decided to make an effort to get away from my technology-driven existence and write letters again. I mean, carpal tunnel is just as likely to occur when writing by hand as it is typing Facebook wall posts, right?

John Staniunas, chair of the University's department of theatre and film, said the uniqueness of the theater experience cannot be duplicated by movies or TV, and that is
The fund is now named after Jack B. Wright, a longtime University professor of theater.
Staniunas said the fund is publicized through Student Senate and always gives tickets to the McNair Scholars Program. The program is a federal organization designed

"Depending on the show, I would definitely take advantage of a free ticket," Cobb said.
The University's McNair chapter gets an average of 15 to 20 tickets each year. Faculty members take the schools to the show, and
that comes from the theater is extremely beneficial and students truly appreciate the experience.

City to host annual energy conservation fair
When Nick Benson discusses energy and power on Saturday, he won't be referring to the football team.
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
"Most people just aren't aware how much they can conserve," Benson said. "We're hoping that through this fair, people who aren't aware of conservation will become aware and people who are aware will learn other ways that they can reduce further."
The Energy Conservation Fan is hosted by the City of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling Division and will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.at the City of Lawrence Community Building, located at 115 W. 11th St.The fair will feature 40 exhibits and will also feature presentations, workshops and performances all related to energy conservation and education.
Lawrence residents peruse booths at last year's Energy Conservation Fair. This year the event will include a presentation by Westar Energy and a performance by "Eco Elvis."
Benson, a sophomore from Orlando, Fla., will miss Saturday's home game to volunteer at the 10th annual Lawrence Energy Conservation Fair. Benson is the coordinator for the Resource Conservation committee and is an officer in Environs, the student organization that promotes environmental awareness.
Tickets will be required for the Sustainable Homes Tour, but admittance to the fair is free to the public. To show the benefits of public transportation, the Lawrence Transit System will also
be offering free rides on the T all day Saturday on all fixed routes.
Kathy Richardson, the waste reduction and recycling operations supervisor, said in the past this event has grown to attract more than 600 attendees who enjoy learning from a variety of presenters including builders, architects, insulation experts, heating and cooling contractors, government agencies, non-profit and alternative fuel vehicle representatives.
Jeffrey Severin, director for the center, said they would be trying to illustrate how the University is addressing energy in a variety of ways. Severin said that at the fair they would be looking at some of the research that is going on around campus through the Energy Council, through the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis and a variety of research centers on campus that focus on issues that either address renewable energy or energy consumption and climate change.
The University's Center for Sustainability will present at the fair again this year speaking about conservation around campus.
"Environmental issues always seem like such large challenges and somewhat overwhelming." Severin said. "Energy conservation is something that we can all easily do in our daily lives. Fairs like this really help put that into perspective."

Severin said in the past these fairs have always provided a lot of great information to anyone interested.
Horn said Nickie Lee, who works in the State Energy Office and will speak about Efficiency Kansas, can educate students who rent on how to save money and
Eileen Horn, the sustainability coordinator for the city, said the fair provided a forum for people to come and learn about energy conservation, new energy technologies and ways to become more energy efficient.
