THIS WEEKEND
KU is all jazzed up over the coinciding anniversaries of the start of its jazz program 35 years,ago and its 30th annual jazz festival, and you should be too.
Jamie Netzer
Head to the Lied Center Saturday night to hear KU's top vocal jazz, big band and jazz combs perform with two alumni. The first guest, Gary Foster, played at the Academy Awards last Sunday night and the second, Earle Dumler, toured with Frank Zappa in the 70s. Both musicians have lent their talents to countless film scores, says Dan Gailley, KU jazz studies director. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. both Friday, March 2, and Saturday, March 3, at the Lied Center. Tickets are $10 for students.
FOOD REVIEW GAMEDAY FOOD
With the college basketball season in full swing and March Madness fast approaching, it's nice to branch out from campus and east Lawrence for a gameday meal. Check out these hidden eateries in west Lawrence, where the chill vibes are as refreshing as the dishes you'll be served.
CHIPS AND SALSA
The Salty Iguana 4931 W.6th St.
Free when dinner in, $2.79 for a 16-ounce carryout
While youd think a Mexican restaurant would guarantee an exquisite salsa, the Salty Iguana's just barely reaches par. After a few drinks, you'll forget you even had an appetizer.

KING PIZZA
Pizza Shoppe
1520 Wakarusa Drive
$11.50 (single topping)
Pizza Shoppe's dish is a great change of pace for the college crowd's favorite diet staple. Although they don't deliver, the trip to west Lawrence is well worth the commute.
SANTA FE CHICKEN
SANDWICH
JB Stout's Bar & Grill
721 Wakarusa Drive
$6.99
The chicken tastes like... well, chicken. But the fries pack a punch, and when combined with Stout's honey mustard sauce, wash down splendidly with your favorite pitcher.
