EDITOR'S NOTE
Jayapell Associate Editor Ann Archaib (left) and Editor Kelai Schipley at The Back in Fence in New York
I found myself in a staredown with the salad bar. I was standing in the Hearst Tower cafeteria in midtown Manhattan, given the task of fetching lunch for my editor at Harper's Bazaar. Only a few days into the internship, I discovered that meal requests were deceivingly tricky. In their simplicity, there were often unforeseen obstacles. A salad request could mean romaine lettuce or mixed greens. The dressing was another debacle. I was told Balsamic. I think she said Balsamic, right? Does that mean Balsamic Vinegar, or Viniagrette? Does she want the homemade balsamic or fat free? (Mixed greens with Homemade Balsamic is the correct answer.)
The story of my summer is an overwritten cliché: Midwestern girl travels to the bright lights of New York City to pursue a dream. When I informed friends of my internship at a high-fashion magazine this summer, the automatic response was, The Devil Wears
Prada. And in a way it was — chic editors at their desks, model castings in the conference rooms and a fashion closet bursting with Louboutin heels and Burberry trenches. Not everything was glamorous, of course. Opening mail certainly wasn't exhilarating — save for when advanced episodes of Entourage were delivered — but working on a consumer magazine gave me confidence in my career choice, and furthered my drive to return.
Some people loathe the city, while others adore it. My admiration began immediately. My 11 weeks went by too fast, blurring together improv shows, Magnolia Bakery cupcakes and notable spontaneous happenings. The city is a place that gets under your skin. It's where you drink pitchers of sangria on the Hudson river, where movies are filmed on your block, and where a small town girl can find an atomosphere to match her independence and free spirit.
My associate editor Anna and I were partners in crime this summer — her at Good Housekeeping and me at Bazaar. We hope to bring our New York magazine experience to Jayplay this semester, giving big city quality with the small town Lawrence appeal so dear to the students of our university. Enjoy the issue!

student involvement
BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com
A new student organization on campus is trying to bring sustainable energy issues facing the country to students at the University of Kansas.
The KU Energy club aims to educate students about energy by bringing together students with key players in the energy field, such as industry leaders, policy makers and academic faculty, to openly discuss all methods of energy reform and the energy issues today.
"The coal plant is a big issue right now," said Greg Loving, KU Energy Club co-president and a junior from Salt Lake City. "So we could have somebody from the industry, a government official, and somebody who's protesting it. I think when you have all that dialogue is when you really get some positive interaction."
The KU Energy Council is a group of 15 distinguished professors from the schools of engineering and business. Its main goal is to heighten the awareness of energy research at the University. For three years, the Energy Council has studied fossil fuels and worked with policy makers to affect how Kansas handles its energy.
Loving, along with co-president Brian Larkin, a senior from Garden City, sought help from the KU Energy Council in establishing this new club.

New program offers cheaper books to students
BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com
This summer, Hewlett Packard selected KU Bookstores to house a pilot for its Print-On-Demand book printing program. The program brings a publishing center to Jayhawk Inc. on the second floor of the Kansas Union and now allows them to quickly create textbooks and other course materials for a fraction of the cost. While only a few months old, the program has quickly gained popularity among departments on campus.
"It has been a much higher volume than what we intended," said Estella McCollum, director of KU Bookstores. "We've probably produced around 5,000 books in a month. It been incre-dible."
The draw for many of these departments lies in the removal of the hassle that comes with printing books off campus.
"If a student were to come up to us and say that we were out of a certain textbook that they needed, we could just tell them to go grab a coffee and when they come back the book will be ready for them to pick up," McCollum said.
"If I were to go off campus to another place it would probably take about a week to 10 days to get," said Robin Holladay, administrative associate senior for the English department. "Here it was done in four days."
Books not bought individually can be created in as little as eight minutes.
The final product is a neatly bound book complete with a laminated cover.
"The cover Holladay said.
"What sold me on it is the fact that you can take your file, send it to them and they download it and do whatever they do with it printing-wise, and it really comes out clear and crisp."
The cover is a lot better."
"We've probably produced around 5,000 books in a month. It's been incredible."
"One example of a course where we were able to significantly decrease the cost of the books was with Professor Holmes' psycholoje

and his course packs," said Rachel Barnes, custom materials buyer for KU bookstores. "It used to be $45, and we've gotten it down to $22."
The price decrease comes
"We are really here trying to provide a good service" McCollum
from the bookstore's ability to cut production costs by not having to pay for shipping or labor.
In the future, KU Bookstores would like to expand its services to further accommodate the needs of students and members of the Lawrence community.
said. "We don't want students to feel like we're robbing them, ripping them off. It's just kind of changing that perception of what we're here for."
"Wed like to go past even publisher and custom course materials, into individual creative works," McCollum said. "Whether it be for a class project or just personal interest, we want to allow students the ability to come in and easily print their own materials in a bound format."
