Icy campus hills come in handy as tray riders slip, slide away
By GRANT OVER STAKE
Staff Reporter
"Runaway!" shrieked a voice in the darkness as an out-of-control cookie sheet slid down the snowy hill behind Hashinger Hall.
Second shots, a lone cafeteria tray rider shouted, "Dr. Death! Dr. Death!" swished down the slope scattering people below.
This night most of the trayers were from the eighth floor of Elsworth Hall.
There are several ways to tray, they said. There's single tray, double tray and poly-tray. Call it anything really, because there are no rules as far as they could tell.
Single tray is sliding solo, either sitting down with legs outstretched, or belly first with arms out to the side, swan-dive style.
Double tray is two people wrapping their legs around each other, either face-to-face or piggyback style.
POLY-TRAY is when three or more
people form a "tray train" by locking legs around the person in front of them. This night the record train run was 15 sliders long.
Some trayers said their mental attitudes kept them warm. Others said it was Lord Calvert or Wild Turkey.
Jim Scannella, San Francisco freshman, said he only saw snow on an occasional trip to the Sierra Nevada mountains.
"But you never take a tray with you," he said.
Scannella, a harder on the KU track team, said traying was a lot easier than hardling.
I can just hear my coach when he reads this, saying "Traying, the kid is out training."
AMAN ALEMAN, Kowait freshman,
said the snow that fell this week was the first he'd ever seen.
"It's great!" he said as he dove onto a plastic saucer and disappeared down the slope.
"Most people go down to the hill by Potter Lake," said Russ Tuscik, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "But this hill is a lot

longer, and besides, it’s; closer to the dorms. That means in case of an accident, your I.D. and parent’s name are just a few feet away."
Suddenly a blue pickup truck coared down Irving Hills Road, over the curb at the intersection. The gawked at the flashing red tail lights as the truck bounced recklessly to the street
"Man, that's weird!" someone said as a rush of conversation began.
"They had a refrigerator lid out here awhile ago, but this beats them all," another traver said.
As the clock passed I a.m., most of the tray riders had succumbed to the cold, but Aleman, his hat and sweatshirt caked with snow, was the last one to leave.
"I'd been watching from my dorm window for a long time," he said, "and I finally decided that I would just come out and triv it.
"They'll never believe it back home."
Plagued by lagging Student Senate attendance, the Student Senate Executive Committee dismissed nine senators at a meeting at the Kasansa Union last night.
Efforts to tighten up on attendance enforcement last fall led to 18 dismissals.
"This is the first time we've really tried to police ourselves," said Mark Rafferty, Senate executive secretary.
StudEx cuts nine senators for absences
He said that, in past years, the Senate had operated frequently without a quorum.
HOWEVER, STUDEX is not cracking down heavily on attendance, Rafferty said. He said that only the worst cases were suspended.
"There is no reason to be a member of Senate if you can't offer a vote," Berlin said. "We've been having a hard time getting necocle to come to meetings."
Margaret Berlin, student body president, said some attendance guidelines were necessary.
"If we followed attendance policies closely we'd be yanking people off Jayhawk Boulevard to get a quorum." "Rafferty said."
David VanPansy, Senate Treurer,
questioned StedEx tenors in dismissing
the senators so close to next week's Senate
elections.
"We're down to the last eight days of this Senate. It looks very bad; it looks punitive, VanPursys said. "And if this action is being
taken to manufacture a quorum, then everyone is going to figure it out."
In other business, Berlin said the Kansas Memorial Union Board was considering a proposal to photograph students using the Kansas Union check cashing service to discourage the writing of bad checks. The organization paid $15,000 in bad checks this school year.
ON THE AGENDA of tonight's Senate meeting are:
- A resolution to expand Student Legal Services to include in-court representation. Currently, the program is limited to legal advice, education and assistance outside courts.
- A Legal Services' request for $1,140 in additional funds to cover the cost of carpeting the new Legal Services' office in the Satellite Union. The Legal Services will move from Carrubh-O'Leary to the Satellite Union next month.
- A proposal to raise the status of the Minority affairs subcommittee to that of a standing committee.
- A resolution calling for the establishment of a commission to look into Kushna Memorial, Union Board, and the executive committee of the Union Board. This would require the appointment of four commissioners.
- A resolution urging next term's Senate to consider a public forum on South Africa. Two resolutions concerning this issue have been tabled for more than 10 months.

KU escort service to resume Feb. 18
842-9995
Campus Safety Services, the esort service for the KU campus area, should resume operation Feb. 18, according to Ward, the service's personnel director.
The service was to have resumed operations Jan. 31. Ward said the delay was caused by difficulties in scheduling volunteers.
"Without a schedule we can't start," she said
She said response to a call for volunteers had not been tremendous, but that there were enough volunteers to start the service. Persons in volunteer by calling the RU
Ward said that the service had escorted about two people per night last semester, and that she expected the number to increase later this spring.
"We started in the dead of winter," she said. "We talk people home, and right now it's so cold that people don't want to be outside. We demand the demand will pick up as it gets warmer."
"I think interest in the service has picked up. I have people asking me about it, and KU information has been getting a lot of attention, wanting to know what we're going to start."
