Rolling the dice can buy campus
By DON GREEN
Staff Writer
The Kansas City Royals are one of several area organizations that will be for sale this fall.
The Kansas City Star, Crown Center
Shopping Center and even the University of
Kansas will be up for grabs when a new
parlor game becomes available June 1.
The game, Tryopoly, is similar to Monopoly but is triangular and uses local property for real estate. Some businesses and organizations in the area of target cities pay to have their names included in the game.
THE GAME was invented by Wes Reese and Emery Sobony of Cleveland, who also formed OSOB Games and Toys Inc. of Strongville, Ohio, to market the game.
The object of the game is to acquire all the properties in a category—a Tropoly and—a Complex.
"I it's so better than Monopoly," Jim Grau of Fantastic Toys of Kansas City, Kan., said yesterday, "because you have more control of what's going on."
PLAYERS MOVE their tokens, which are erasers formed like sports cars, in various directions on the triangular felt board made up of hexagonal spaces.
Players start at the top of the triangle and move down the board. They then start over
Coach Norwood to stay at KU; WSU searching
KU men's basketball coach Ted Owens won't have to go looking for a new assistant coach this year. Assistant coach Lafayette Norwood has removed himself from the running for the coaching job at Wichita State University.
Norwood recently interviewed for the Wichita State job and said he was one of three coaches being considered for the job before he dropped out of the running.
"I explained what I'd accept and they reacted favorably," Norwood said. "It was very tempting for me to go, especially from a monetary standpoint.
"DON'T PUT a great value on monetary things. I think our student body and our fans have been great. There are some things that we have done. Have been very positive to my family."
Wichita State is expected to announce its new coach within a few days. Those reportedly being considered are Paul Lambert, coach at Southern Illinois University; Bill Olsen, an assistant coach at Louisville; Ken Trickey, coach at Claremont Junior College; and Ed Murphy, an assistant coach at Wichita State.
To promote the game, which is being marketed in 14 cities, OSOBO is sponsoring tournaments on college campuses near the target cities.
The first tournament at KU will be in late June, Gaan said. Reese and Sobony will set up the tournaments and they plan nation-wide intercollegiate competition.
A tournament was sponsored at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland D. 2. To promote the game in the Akron, teams were planned between Case and Akon University.
GRAU SAID that at the local tournament organizations on the gameboard would provide prizes. Lawrence merchants also will be asked to sponsor prizes, he said.
The game was distributed in the Cleveland area before Thanksgiving and was purchased for $15 by more than 9,000 people during the Christmas season, Reese
Grau said the game would be printed for the Kansas City area in about 10 days. The game also is being printed for Akron; Milwaukee, Indianapolis; Vancouver, British Columbia; Portland, Oregon; Washinton; Tucson; Tampa, Fla.; and San Diego.
BILL HOGAN, associate executive vice chancellor, is a member of a committee that granted approval to allow KU to be a cultural organization on the game's playing board. KU will be represented on the game by the Cannanile.
Hogan had KU signed a contract with fantastic Toys but paid money to be part of the team.
"It gives a large amount of visibility to the plains," he said, "so that pleases us."
Other cultural organizations receiving visibility through the game are the Nelson Art Gallery, the Kansas City Philharmonic, the Kansas City Museum of History and Science, the Truman Library Museum and the Agricultural Hall of Fame.
AT FIRST, THE game did not gain acceptance easily.
Reese and Emery approached several game companies with the idea but they did not receive a favorable response. They then formed OSOBO.
According to Jim Davenport of OSOBO, when Reese and Emery approached
But, he said, the box shape was so unique that now, the department stores like it use the same type of boxes.
department stores with the three-sided shape of the game they were told it would be.
Some of our jobs are unique, with projects and facilities found nowhere else. Salaries are good, the work is interesting and there are excellent opportunities for advancement.
Federal Government agencies are involved in some of the most important technological work being done today...in energy fields, communication, transportation, consumer protection, defense, exploring inner and outer space and the environment.
