"We just wanted to get our two cents worth in on the matter," Whitenight said.
The chamber opposed moving the game, Whitengt said, because Lawrence business loses money. He also said chamber members lose games; chambers should retain a college atmosphere.
"College athletics should have a hometown flavor, and we should not let them get out of town," Whitenight said.
CITY COMMISSIONER David Longhurst, owner of the House of Usher, 838 Massachusetts St., said he was glad the game was going to stay in Lawrence.
"As a Lawrence businessman," he said, "I want the game to stay here."
Bob Schumm, owner of Schumm Food Co., 719 Massachusetts St., also said he was happy that the game would stay in Lawrence.
"It is a tremendous economic stimulus for the city," he said. "A lot of revenue is generated by the game all weekend long, not just that day."
Schumm said it was important to keep college games on college campuses.
Redwood, also a professor of business, said student and faculty members of the board talked to other students and faculty to check their attitudes on the proposal.
"THE REACTION RANGED from 'it's a
nothing to be being vehemently opposed,'"
Redwood said.
Both opinions were considered, he said, before the decision was made.
One of the reasons for moving the game to Arrowhead would have been money. Red-winged
"We have not been able to get enough people to football games at Memorial Stadium, "Redwood said. "A KU event in the fall would be able of considerable interest to our alumni."
"If we can get more people to buy season tickets, then we won't have a deal with KKR."
The reasons for keeping the game in
Lawrence were more philosophical, Redwood said. The board felt that athletic events should be on campus and that playing in the gym would be possible for commercialization of University athletics.
"WE HAD SIMPLY intended to make a recommendation of the Athletic Department and the committee to the board next week, not to go ahead with it." Redwood said.
Lonny Rose, assistant athletic director, said, "We don't want to get into a situation where our fans are inconvenienced by having the game in Kansas City.
"It's one of these situations where we had an attractive approach to consider and it's unfortunate that some people have jumped in and didn't bother to check with us," he said.
"It's the last game of the season, the day before Thanksgiving, and the weather is unpredictable."
After this fall's game, KU is scheduled to play Missouri at Columbia in 1986 and 1987.
John Webb, managing partner of Green's Fine Wines, 800 W. 23rd St., said he sold a lot of snaps and brandies used in coffee drinks.
"I think weather like this enhances our business," said Shirley Barrand, owner of Barrand Retail Liquors, 2004 W. 23rd St. It sells more snacks when it's cold like this.

Sam Shepley, manager of Wal-Mart Discount Cities, 2727 Iowa St., also said business had increased because of the severe weather.
"PEOPLE DON'T WANT to mess with
keeps when the footing is like this," he said.
"I've had a lot of people come in and buy diapers and baby food," he said. "We've been selling electric blankets and heaters and things like that."
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief, said yesterday afternoon that no fires resulting
from misused heating devices had been reported.
"Number one advice is to keep combustibles 36 inches away from fireplaces and space heaters," he said. "People, especially children, have a tendency to pull chairs up close to get warm.
"The other thing is to make sure you burn in them what they are made for — wood from trees — not construction scraps or anything else."
OPEC discord may lead to lower U.S. gas prices
The reluctant decision of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to lower its oil prices by an average $1 per barrel could save the American motorist a thousand dollars in the gas pump as the once-mighty oil cartel seeks for survival, analysts said yesterday.
By United Press International
Energy specialists said OPEC had bought time for itself by agreeing to trim its artificially high prices but warned that the refusal of four members to join the pact had weakened the already bequeathed 13 nation cartel.
"We're looking at the formation of a new OPEC with the hard-core Persian Gulf members having to share price leadership with the spot market." Silber said.
OPEC's influential Persian Gulf states consented to the cuts, but radical members Algeria, Libya and Iran rejected the new pricing accord. Gabon abstained.
"The old OPEC has lost its credibility and is a fractured organization," said Alvin Silber, president of Petroleum Perspective research firm in New York. "He's going to be able to convince buyers any way that it can support world oil prices."
But OPEC's share of the free world oil market has shrunk from 65 percent in 1980 to less than 35 percent today because the consuming nations turned to cheaper oil suppliers as demand declined and a global oil glut emerged.
FOR MORE THAN a decade OPEC was the unchallenged arbiter of world oil prices, raising its base price from $3.01 a barrel before the 1973-1974 Arab oil embargo to $36 in 1981 in the aftermath of the Iranian revolution.

performing groups have reserved the stage.
"I don't even want to think about it," Bickle said.
More than half the world's oil now is sold to the highest bidder on the spot market for $19.50 per barrel in 1980. Spot prices have been running about $2 a barrel out OPEC's official prices.
"OPEC MUST ACKNOWLEDGE that no longer can set world oil prices and at best can influence prices only through strict production controls," said Sanford Margoshes, analyst at Shearson Lehman-American Express in New York.
"But OPEC has demonstrated that it still has the ability to rally sufficiently to come out with a majority agreement," he said. "It represents a move in the right direction, and we are realign its official prices more closely with the reality of the spot market."

Margheses and other analysts expect Americans to reap savings of another 2-3 cents a gallon on gasoline and home-oil油 from the latest OPEC price cuts.
In March 1983 OPEC cut its base price for the first time by $5 to $29 a barrel to avert a global pricing war.

Fuel prices already have fallen by about a nickel a gallon since early fall because of a nationwide gas war and the warm early winter weather.

OPEC, besieged by internal cheating on pricing and production, faces another major crisis in the spring when world oil demand is at its lowest point.
"But if OPEC can maintain low production for the next six to eight weeks, there's a good chance it can avert a price collapse in the spring," said William Randol, analyst at First Boston Corp. in New York.
