Girl Scout cookie police turn blind eye
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
"Psss! Hey buddy, want to buy some Girl Scout Cookies? OK, make sure no one tailed you..."
Underground — that's how Girl Scout cookies would have to be sold on campus if the University of Kansas strictly enforced its sales and solicitation policy.
Students and University employees commonly sell cookies on campus for their sisters and daughters, but technically it may contradict University policy, said Danny Kaiser, director of the Organizations and Leadership Office.
University Events Guidelines restrict sales and solicitations on campus. Sales are allowed only if they are sponsored by a registered organization or University office and if a reasonable portion of the profits goes to charitable or student service projects.
"Who can police this? I'm not playing the cookie police."

Scouts can't sell cookies door-to-door on campus, especially in residence halls. And technically, relatives aren't supposed to sign up cookie customers
on the Hill either, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost. "Nobody would complain about it. Nobody ever has."
"Who can police all this?" he said.
"I'm not playing the cookie police."
Kaiser said it would be impossible to enforce the policy against Girl Scout cookies sales.
Debra McKee, product sale manager for the Kaw Valley Girl Scout Council, said her office definitely doesn't encourage people to do anything they're not supposed to do. McKee advised hungry students who can't find a source of cookies to watch for booth sales in March in front of super-markets and other stores.
Local Girl Scouts could sell cookies
on campus without violating the policy if a campus Girl Scout group sponsored them. Kaiser said Scouts could sell cookies at a table or at a booth on campus if a KU Scout was present at all times and the KU Scouts received 20% of the profits to support charitable or student service projects.

There is high demand for Girl Scout cookies on campus. Jenny Kaufman, Denver sophomore, and Melissa Gard, Salt Lake City sophomore, said they thought a cookie booth at the Kansas Union would do well.
Johnson said she thought a boy would be a good idea.
"Everybody wants their annual fix of Thin Mints," she said.
If KU stricty enforced its solicitation policy, selling Girl Scout cookies would be off limits on the Hill. Photo by Lucas Krump/KANSAN.
