With the coming of a new year, the U-News staff has a few wishes for what we would like to see happen over the next 12 months. Enjoy. University We would like to see the university do more construction projects in the summer when the campus is less busy instead of waiting until the school year starts when there are more students on campus.
With many dragging worn out bodies to the year's end declaring "Make it stop!" the idea of a carefree college experience is quickly fading as economic woes become more apparent. The past year has been a tumultuous ride for college students and the general public alike.
Since I became a U-News photographer in August 2007, I have had the opportunity to attend every sporting event, every organizational gathering and every function UMKC has had to offer-or at least those that requested our presence. I have seen formal functions, informal disasters, speakers with no audience, masses of vendors, etc.
