This weekend at the Laughing Dog Saloon, customers can pay to have other customers handcuffed until their bail is paid. Next week, the Redneck Olympics, which include a toilet paper run, will take place.
The money raised will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The saloon, 1910 Haskell Ave., is one of six local restaurants participating in the Multiple Sclerosis Understanding, Generous, Lovable You Bartender Challenge (MS UGLY).
It began Feb. 11 and will run until March 7. During these three weeks, restaurants and bars have planned different activities as fundraisers.

Last year, owner Kerry Johnson waited three hours before she was uncuffed.
"No one felt sorry for me," she said.
Johnson said she thought the MS UGLY bartender challenge was a good fund raiser for bars and restaurants to become involved in.

rants to become involved in. "I think bars and bartenders have the capacity to raise a lot of money because they come in contact with a lot of people," she said. "I think every bar in Lawrence should do this."
The society provides restaurants with paper bones, buttons, garters, stickers and key chains. One of the most popular fund-raisers is selling paper bones. Customers who donate money have their name written on the paper bone, which are placed on display.
Troy Kuglin, manager at Dos Hombres, 815 New Hampshire St., said the response this year was better than in previous years. More than 50 people have donated to the cause, he said.
we ran it, it didn't go very well," he said. "This year we've been selling bones like crazy."
Laura Farmer, special events coordinator for the Eastern Kansas Branch of the Mid-America Chapter of the society, said 60 percent of the money raised would be used in 41 Kansas counties to pay for educational programs, wheelchairs and walkers. He said the remaining 40 percent would go toward national research.

Last year, the Eastern Kansas Branch raised $58,300. Farmer said this year's goal was to raise more than $60,000.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. The
effects vary, but it r ranges from loss of balance and muscle coordination to partial or complete paralysis.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society reports that a third of a million Americans have multiple sclerosis and that every week the disease is diagnosed in 200 people — more than one person an hour.
Amini II start-up group wants more members

Laura Brunow and eight other scholarship hall women have their work cut out for them.
Brunow is one of the nine women who already have accepted the opportunity to move into Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall this fall and serve as members of the hall colonization group. Margaret Amini will be the fifth women's scholarship hall at the University of Kansas.
"We're forming the colonization group to keep from opening the hall with all new people," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
"It is a good opportunity to get a leadership position in a new community," Brunow said. "But I just think it will be really, really difficult
with only nine people."
Brunow, Dallas freshman and Douthart Scholarship Hall resident, said she was both excited for the opportunity and worried about the challenge because the Student Housing Department is only allowing nine people to serve in the group.
The colonization group will be responsible for creating the hall's constitution, selecting hall government officials and selecting the scholarship hall director for themselves and the other 41 residents, said Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director of student housing.
Brunow is concerned.
"It will be extremely difficult to train 41 new people in their shifts, which are important things as far as how our halls work," she said.
Brunow, who has started a petition to increase the number of colonization group members, said a lot of the people moving to the hall thought the cut was unfair.
There were 17 women interested in moving to Margaret Amini who were asked to submit a generic application for a place in the hall, Stoner said. He said the Student Housing Department had planned on taking anywhere from 16 to 20 women but that the lack of applicants had led the department to cut to nine. There currently are no plans to add more members, he said.
"Even though I got in, I don't think it was fair."
Brunow said. "They cut it to nine, and now we
can't even fill a government."
"Watkins and Miller are significantly less expensive because they are set up really different," said Sarah Crumrine, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council and Douthart resident. "They are only about $700 a year, whereas Sellards and Douthart are roughly $2,700."
Everyone who applied was either from Sellards or Douthart scholarship halls, which attributed to the lack of numbers
Wamelink said the residents of Margaret Amini would pay roughly what the residents of Sellards and Douthart currently paid.
Becky Harris, Gardner freshman and Sellards resident, said she was not interested in moving into the new scholarship hall.
"There is going to be a lot of new people." Harris said. "I would rather stay in a place with more structure."
Despite the lack of applicants, Stoner said he didn't expect any problems filling the hall for the grand opening.
"There's always a large waiting list at the beginning of the semester," Stoner said. "Once the year starts, the waiting lists go away."
It's not too early to put down a deposit for the Fall Semester on very large 1 & 2 bedroom apartments. Enjoy living in the apartment complex with a tradition of established excellence.
