Editors' note: Aug. 20, 2009

Thursday, August 20, 2009

It’s easy to get excited about being a KU student this time of year. Classes aren’t too difficult (yet), football season is nearing, and campus is as beautiful as ever. During the day, downtown Lawrence is busy with people going in and out of shops and restaurants. At night, houses in the student ghetto buzz with chatter and music from various parties and get-togethers. Old friends are reunited and new friendships are formed. The youthful energy in the air is nearly tangible.

But this year, we are especially excited because we get to bring Jayplay to you each week. If you’re new to the University, Jayplay is our weekly entertainment and lifestyle magazine. In each issue, you’ll find new ways to stay healthy, improve your relationships and have fun around town, as well things that we just think are interesting and important. If you’re already familiar with the magazine, you may notice a few changes this semester. We’ve added some new content, while keeping the things that have made Jayplay a great magazine in the past.

So, take some time to see what we have for you this week, enjoy the last throws of summer, and look for a new issue every Thursday.
