Stadium beer sales profitable, study says
By KATHY KASE Staff Reporter
When you say "Bad" to a home football game next year you may have said it all for KU's Title 1X sports eligibility. That is, if Mark McClanahan has his way.
McClanahan, director of Concerned Students for Higher Education, KU's student lobbying group, has been researching the feasibility of stadium beer sales. McClanahan has suggested that profit from the beer sales could be given to the Kansas Athletic Corporation Board and to maintain KU's Title X eligibility.
Title IX is a federal program supporting equal funding and opportunities for men and women in federally funded institutions. As such, Title IX is not comply with Title IX or欠 federal funding.
BUT COMPLIANCE during the next couple of years could be difficult. KU enrollment is expected to decrease and, in turn, funding is from the Kansas Leisure Trust.
"At a time when the state is belt-tightening because of decreased enrolments, our group is its time for that," he said. "We are sales at the stadium," McCainahan said.
McClanahan envisions a program much like the one begun at Colorado State University, a peer institution, last fall. The university sold beer for $1 (or a cup at athletic
In '1979, CSU sold more than 1,000 kegs of beer and sometimes as many as 200 kegs or as many as 30,000 beers per game." he said. "I think that is the most difficult games, which we wouldn't want to do."
BUT EVEN STADIUM beer sales here present problems, McClanahan said, because many people say it would increase violence.
However, no increased violence was
reported at CSU after the university began selling beer at athletic events, he said.
"In fact, the head of concessions at CSU, Bruce McDowell, said he thought that the amount of alcohol concession had gone up," she said. "I was smuggling boose into the stadium," he said.
Another problem that stadium beer sales might cause would be misuse of identification cards. But McClanahan said he did not anticipate the problem at KU games.
Although McClanahan is not sure exactly how much profit beer sales could reap for the company he bought it would be between $2,000 and $10,000 and SHE can be a revenue from beer sales would be used for TIX or other beer sales. McClanahan said, he will not support stadium beer sales.
McClainhan said the results of stadium buil-
tings because a large percentage of the
become a average attendance at CU games
was 40,000. KU's average attendance is
41,000 according to the KU Sports In-
ternational.
"Whereas Colorado State sold beer by vendors and in stands, we'd probably sell it only at concession stands," he said.
"Look at our name. We're for the students through the University so we can help out the students. If it's not going to help them, then I won't support beer sales in the school."
Meanwhile, the beer sale research continues. CSHE plane to present its findings to the Student Senate before the end of the year.
"What we're going to have to do is submit a report to Senate for their OK, and then we'll present it to KUAC and (Bob) Marcu. Then we'll submit it to the chancellor he said. "Kids are going to drink any wine and we might as well make revenue out of it."
With the first Kansas presidential primary still fresh in voters' minds, John Simpson came to Lawrence yesterday to serve as vice-president for Robert D. U.S. Senate seat.
Dole challenger seeks KU vote
ny CINDI CURRIE Staff Reporter
Simpson, a former state representative from Salina, was at the University of Kansas shaking hands and seeking more opportunities. He has been a problem in his campaign.
"That's the biggest problem we have," Simpson said, "getting people to recognize who I am."
Simpson, a Democrat and Dole's only competitor, said he was challenging Dole because he thought the senator was contributing to inflation, a loss of confidence
The results of a recent survey by the KU Center for Public Affairs that showed 43 percent of Kansas reacted unfavorably to the bill, which was a reflection on his record, Simpson said.
in government and an ineffective energy program.
"IF THEY DON'T want him to be president it's a reflection on his record as a senator," Simpson said. "Usually people support their own senator."
"If Kansans don't view their senator as having the capabilities necessary for the presidency, that's a negative reflection on him."
Simpson said Dole was supporting the oil and gas industries and was against the windfall profits tax, which would provide extra revenues for government programs.
"I don't know if he's trying to help the oil companies, paying a political debt, or what," Simpson said.
Simpson said the biggest differences between him and Dole were their views on energy programs.
Simpson said he advocated an energy policy that stressed conservation, finding and attempting to source sources such as sunlight and attempting to use ways to use the nation's coal resources.
HE SAID THAT his conservation did not include a 50 cents a gallon tax on gasoline, but that it did include a rationing package would produce results in four or five years.
The way to develop an extensive energy program, Simpson said, is to reallocate the
revenues from the windfall profits tax and exclude the tax cuts for businesses.
"We can't enjoy the luxury of tax cuts,' he said.
"I would support a hire freeze on new government employees." Simpson said. "We can cut bureaucracy and still have all the programs we want."
Simpson said he wanted to balance the federal budget, in with a constitutional amendment that would allow government agencies, and changing revenue sharing so states would assume more responsibility.
Programs he proposes include public funding of abortions for women who can claim them, and government tolerance to family violence. The strength in marketing their products.
