Campus Christians clean up Allen Fieldhouse for funding

While hordes of little kids played basketball on the empty Allen Fieldhouse court and coach Roy Williams provided postgame commentary. Hutchinson senior Sarah Schraeder walked around the bleachers of the Fieldhouse emptying all of the soft drinks, lemonades and other beverages into a large blue bucket of half-drank slop.
Schraeder cleaned the Fieldhouse as a member of Campus Christians. The group aims to raise money for its missionary trips this summer to Haiti, China and Kenya.
"For me, being able to earn this money is using something God has given me," said Sheila Black, Campus Christian student intern, event organizer and Lawrence senior. "There's nothing spiritual about cleaning the Fieldhouse. It's an ability God has given us."
The group of 45 began cleaning immediately after the game ended Wednesday night around 8:30
p.m. and stayed until 4:15 a.m.,
picking up trash, emptying cups
and using leaf blowers to push
trash into easily swept areas.
"The worst thing is when someone uses those cups to spit their chaw into." Black said.
The sweepers came next, collecting all the torn newspapers and smaller trash. They then turned in their brooms for mops, gleaming and polishing the hard wood floor and bleachers. Finally the Christians got on their hands and knees, not to pray, but to scrub every seat, banister and bench in the house. They followed the cleaning by putting away all the equipment and sneaking in a quick pick-up game of basketball.
This is the second time the organization cleaned the Fieldhouse this year. For each cleaning, the Campus Christians received $2,000 for their three trips and the students participating, said Trisha DeShon, campus minister.
Some students saw Wednesday night as a beginning for their work as missionaries.
"As a Christian, I'm called to serve. Doing this is just a little bit of what we're going to do in Haiti," said Beth Mattson, Tulsa, Okla., junior.
With only about 10 of the cleaning students going on the missions, a large majority of the students will never see the money they helped earn.
"I feel that I can't dedicate time to the missions. The way I can spread the gospel is by being here," said Andy Pull, Colfax, N.D., junior.
The Fieldhouse has been cleaned by an organization or club after every men's basketball game, George Barnes, field supervisor, said.
Other organizations that want to clean the field house after next season's games need to contact Ron Penry, facilities supervisor at 864-7987 at the beginning of September. Penry said the group must be willing to bring at least 30-40 people to clean, and it must be willing to clean after at least three games.

and the income of the principle is spent, Scarffe said. The other type of fund used by the Endowment Association is an expendable fund, in which the money is spent almost immediately instead of being invested, Scarffe said.
Scholarships,fellowships and faculty awards are among the
expenses paid for by permanent,
endowed funds.
"The faculty and staff and students will still receive 5 percent of endowed funds but we're changing how it's going to be available to them," Scarffe said.
The new spending policy will affect scholarships beginning in the summer, Scarfe said. The Office of Admissions and Scholarships will have 20 percent less money from the Endowment

Association to spend on scholarships. The office will decide how it handles the reduction in endowed funds.

has given $52 million to the University this year. This amount has increased 38 percent from this time last year, Scarffe said. But from this point, it will be decreasing.
The Endowment Association plans to lessen the impact by asking donors to donate more money to make up the difference, Seuferling said.
"When all is said and done, there will be a real dollar impact," Seuferling said.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said all questions were being referred to Scarffe.
The Kansas State University Foundation is also facing similar economic troubles. The Kansas State Collegian reported yesterday that the Foundation might reduce its funding to the university by $4.2 million this fiscal year.
