Bill seeks to save Jaybowl from gutter
A committee-generated bill to petition the Memorial Corp. about preserving at least eight of the Jaybowl's 12 lanes passed 17-13-1 at last night's University Affairs meeting, continuing debate about the future of the Jaybowl in lieu of recent renovation discussions.

When Marlon Marshall, Student Executive Committee Chair, submitted the bill, about 15 Jaybowl supporters stood behind him at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.

Marshall said he expected the bill to do well in Senate.
"I hope they listen to me, the people behind me and 3,500 other people," he said, referring to the 3,500 signatures that petitions circulating campus have received.
"It might be nonalcoholic and nonsmoking." Marshall said about proposed changes to the space currently occupied by the Jaybowl. "But it

"As someone involved in SUA, there is no venue for small concerts or coffee houses," Skalla said. "And think about sitting there, trying to study, and having a bowling lane next to you."
R. J. Woodring, Nunemaker senator, said as an orientation assistant, he thought new students seemed excited about the Jaybowl.
"This isn't just a KU facility." Woodring said.
"This is a Lawrence facility."
Because the quiet third floor area of the Union attracts few studying students, Woodring said he did not think a computer lab or other area conducive to studying would attract students, either.
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, did not think a compromise, such as the bill, was feasible to support a competitive bowling team.

“四 lanes won't do it,” Mucci said. “Six”
won't, either. It's got to be 12 or nothing."
Senate notes:
Mike Fine, Jaybowl manager and bowling coach, said eight lanes would suffice for intercollegiate competition. The competitions would just run longer.
Senate notes:
The Finance committee passed a bill to allot $4,629 for computer equipment for the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center. The money would finance two Dell computers, networking equipment and a laser printer.
er. Korb Maxwell, student body president, said he wanted to provide such equipment for the O&L office as opposed to granting computers to individual groups, such as OAKS, the nontraditional student organization.
Other funding bills passed by the Finance Committee included those to finance the KU Cultural India Club, Building Communities, Engineering Expo 2000, KU Running Club and American Institute of Architecture Students.
Architecture students design space resorts
By Kondwa Kankondo
Kansan staff writer
It was baptism by fire for 66 students in the Introduction to Architectural Engineering class last semester, as they had to design an outer-space hotel using a few materials, guidelines and a large dose of the stuff only dreams can provide.
The exercise was part of the students' final exam and yielded 15 super models of exotic resorts in outer space. The students were all beginning architectural engineering students, so most of them had little or hardly any knowledge about designing structures for human accommodation.
"A couple of years ago we decided that this course needed to do several things. One was to foster team effort, a very important thing in today's business world," said Bob Coffeen, professor of architectural engineering. "Another one was that it should foster, or discuss, the idea of interdisciplinary building zone designed by various professionals in a community."
Coffeen and Tom Glavinich, professor of architectural engineering and department chairman, supervised the students on this project.
"The entire design of the hotel is made with the experience of the guest in mind," wrote members of Group 10 in their final report. "When the patrons leave, they will hopefully have had the vacation of a lifetime and enjoyed every aspect of their stay."
The students designed intricate space resorts, making sure that their hotels took care of the animal comforts and interests of any space-trotting enthusiast.
Eric Wilhelm, Lawrence senior and a designer of the Seventh Heaven Hotel, said the project reaffirmed his desire to be an architectural engineer.
Melissa Bryan, Andover freshman and a designer of Adventure Space Park, said the project revealed another career option for her.
"I think it just kind of set me thinking on something that was unusual," Bryan said. "It was more of a creative approach."
Many people now think that the reality of such architectural feats in space is just a matter of time. They think it is possible that it will happen in this lifetime.
It would be good common sense to book in advance at the Zodiac Space Station Hotel. Its plan features a recreation module complete with a restaurant, a casino and a computer lab where you may e-mail parents on Earth letting them know you arrived safely on Mars.

If the Zodia is not the kind of hotel to satisfy your fancy, there are several other options: The Shangri-La, Seventh Heaven Hotel, The Nasa Space Hotel, The Mars Hotel, Space View Resort or Adventure Space Hotel.
