Seniors visit new home
Alumni offer tour, cookout
By DeNEEN BROWN Staff Reporter
Members of the KU administration flipped hamburgers over charcoal grills as seniors waited in line to receive their due.
For many seniors it was a long-awaited opportunity to be repaid for four years of what some called academic struggle.
"I've waited four years to see Dean Tollefson in an apron cooking for me," John Mandelbaum, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said last week. John Tolffson is the dean of business.
The occasion was the senior open house and cookout, sponsored by the University of Kansas Alumni Association on April 25.
Loren Taylor, director of student programs for the Alumni Association, said the open house gave students an opportunity to learn what the Alumni Association had to offer while students were still on campus.
THE ADAMS Alumni Center, 1266 Oread Ave., opened its doors to seniors, who trumped through the building looking at its plush interior.
which they finally would be able to enjoy.
"It's extravagant," said Michael Epps, Kansas City, Mo. senior. "It looks like my house. It's going to be my home away from home."
Taylor said the Alumni Association opened its doors to seniors to give them a chance to start their permanent alumni records and to let them know that the center would be their home when they came back to campus.
The open house also gave seniors a chance to sign their names on the Alumni Association's roll. If graduating seniors join the Alumni Association before or on the day of commencement, the receive a reduced rate and a free $5,000 life insurance policy.
FRED WILLIAMS, executive director of the Alumni Association, said that he did not know whether the seniors joined because of the benefits offered but that each year for the first time a new graduate signed up with the Alumni Association before or on the day of commencement.
Mandelbaum said he was excited about becoming a KU alumnus but
said the benefits of early membership did not influence him in his decision to join.
"The life insurance policy didn't really appeal to me a whole lot," he said. "I'm hoping I won't die. I want to be one of those crazy alumni on alumni day who sit in the alumni section of the stadium and cheer."
Most students simply ate hamburgers, drank beer, listened to rock'n'roll that filled the parking lot
CHRIS BRENT. Lake, Quivira, Kan., senior, said. "I think it's great to reminisce with people you've gone through four years with and the profs who helped you through those years. Well, they helped you and sometimes they hindered you, but at least they were there the whole time."
Howard Mossberg, dean of pharmacy, said. "It brings us down to where we belong. It's a lot of fun. It'll show behind a desk showeling papers."
Mark Beck, St. Charles, Mo., senior, said as he stood in the long line that circled the parking lot. "It's kind of a last tribute. The service is slow, but it's good to see the deans finally do some work."
