Wells sounds off on student apathy
Student apathy and the lack of a traditional football migration are the reasons Rusty Wells thinks the All Student Council sponsored migration to the Nov. 11 KU-Colorado game has been "such a disappointment.
"I don't know what the student body wants," Wells said. "They clamor for migrations and then when we have one nobody goes."
Wells, a Portland, Ore., junior, is in charge of the migration.
He said about 20 persons cancelled when it was announced Thursday the migration would be by bus instead of Union Pacific coach cars. However, 20 to 25 students have signed up since.
"I don't think the fact that we have changed to buses has made any difference." Wells said.
Transportation was changed to buses when oly 150 students "indicated interest" in the train trip—far fewer than the railroad's stated minimum of 600 students it claims it needs to justify use of its cars.
Five buses, with a capacity of
199, have been chartered from Greyhound Bus Co. Cost of the trip has been reduced from $25.50 to $23.
Nick Roach, KU ticket manager, said about 100 to 150 more tickets were sold to the KU-Colorado game than are normally sold to out-of-town games.
Students can purchase the $5 game tickets until 5 p.m. Thursday evening. Wells doesn't think Saturday's win over Kansas State will increase interest in the migration.
Students who purchased a train ticket and do not want to go by bus may obtain a full refund if they notify Wells by Monday evening.
The deadline for bus reservations is Tuesday evening.
Those paying for the train will receive the $2.50 refund either by mail or by going to the ASC office in 105 in the Kansas Union.
Wells said the buses will leave Boulder at 1 a.m. Sunday thus eliminating the problem of overnight accommodations.
