Letter from the editor

Greetings and Salutations,

Welcome faithful (and soon to be faithful) readers of (315). Prepare to be amazed.

For many of you, this magazine comes as a welcomed friend back into your lives. Now, that’s not the kind of ‘friend’ who shows up unannounced, takes control of your television remote, drinks all your beer and passes out naked on your kitchen floor right as your weak mother with a bad heart walks in. No, it’s the other kind: the one who brings gifts.

All you others though, freshmen and slackers alike, this is a first-time experience and we promise to be gentle. (315) is something you will absolutely want to be picking up every Thursday, if for no other reason than it’s YOUR magazine. Every issue is targeted toward you as a Syracuse college student with Syracuse college interests. Within our pages you’ll find everything from movies, facts, tips to keep healthy, places to lounge, eat and play and, yes, there’s even going to be a little sex at the end. How lucky are you?

This is our first issue of the year, and through it we are simultaneously trying to capture the exuberant feeling of summers past, as well as get you settled into the demanding college lifestyle. This is something we’ll be doing through a combination of factual information, snarky opinions and pretty images you can stare at while ‘expanding your mind’ tonight and for the rest of the weekend. Just remember, the paper in this magazine is for reading, not rolling.



And if all that wasn’t enough, we’ve also got Erie Boulevard mapped out for your convenience. I know, it’s pretty awesome. Finally you’ll be able to know where the Blockbuster is without having to drive up and down the street for miles while wasting time, gas and your patience. If anyone understands the feeling of wanting to shoot out every traffic light while being stuck at the fourth red light in a row, it’s (315), and we’re here to help.

That’s that then. Go enjoy the magazine and prepare to gain some knowledge about college. Don’t say I never did anything for you.

Alex Shebar(315) Editor
