KU club hawks Jayhawk hockey
By CONRAD BIBENS
Ice hockey isn't readily identified with the state of Kansas, but it soon will be if members of the KU Hockey Club have their way.
Tom Hansen, club president and Overland Park sophomore, said yesterday that hockey could gain a good following on college campuses and make a profit.
"I'll caught on at Missouri," he said. "In their first year at a small risky club their in one."
Hansen said college hockey was more popular at northern schools, such as the University of Wisconsin, where the sport often outdraws basketball.
"College hockey is a different game from the pro's," he said. "The emphasis is more on the game's speed and team work rather than skill." If you are in a fight you get thrown out."
ANOTHER MEMBER of the club, Brad Raiser, St. Louis senior, said hockey was a more exciting sport to watch than basketball.
"Hockey can fill a void in Lawrence during the winter," he said. "I go to KU basketball here, but it can get dull watching a 10-minute stall.
"Hockey's always moving and you can't really stall. People seem to like it the first time."
time they go to a game. It'll catch on in Lawrence, given a chance."
Because there is no ice rink in Lawrence, the club must practice and play its games at the ice arena in Grandview, M. Hanahan, about 50 miles west of Lawrence City, about 50 miles west of Lawrence.
Practice time on the risk costs $55 an hour, that has threatened the survival of the fortress.
LAST WEEK, the Student Senate overrode a veto by former student body president Ed Rofls of a bill which will give the hockey club a yearly grant of $3,850. This grant will ensure the team's future. Hansen said.
"Last year, we got $600 from the Senate, a pretty token amount," he said.
Douglas Poorman, the hockey coach, said the senate grant would encourage some Lawrence citizens to be interested in building a local ice rink.
Poorman said he had been contacted by some local investors who wanted to build an 80-acre private recreation area and public skating. Poorman, assistant dean of admissions at the RJ Medical Center, has also been interviewed.
"WE HAVE had people from the Chamber of Commerce and the Parks and Recreation Department express interest in a new proposal, we would add a new dimension to Lawrence."
It hasn't been determined where the proposed rink would be built, but Poorman said he hoped it would take about a year to complete and hold up to 1,000 spectators.
Hansen said club members now practice in Grandview on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and Tuesday and Thursday practices are open to interested KU students.
Usually about 45 persons attend practice, he said, and about 25 of them are serious.
"We can only suit up 19 players for games," Hansen said, "because of college
The KU Hockey Club played two weekends ago at the University of Missouri, losing two games "pretty bad," Hansen said. But Senate funds and added practice time should help the team to improve, he
GAMES ARE planned against clubs from the University of Nebraska and Iowa State University, and other games will be scheduled because of the new Senate funds,
The University of Colorado also has a hockey team, Poorman said, and because hockey clubs keep growing, a hockey camp would be between the five schools is planned.

Hansen said the hockey club asked the KU athletic department for funds last year but he didn't.
Any move to make basketball a varsity sport will depend on whether Big Eight athletic leaders think the sport is a serious money maker, he said.
"When they see the profits that other schools are making, they may get in touch."
