OK, be honest. It seems like just yesterday when the last final of the spring semester was turned in, and the rest of May—free time—loomed ahead. But with the onset of June, hours in class and even more studying would once again become commonplace. The summer looked to hold little, if any, fun.
Mav went fast.

Without even stepping off Mount Oread, students have the opportunity to participate in Student Union Activities "Summer on the Hill." The SUA program includes three concerts, a movie, a coed volleyball tournament and bowling. SUA program coordinator Kent Kennedy said.
But don't let sunny visions of summer get clouded up by term papers, tests and study groups. Instead, become familiarized with the recreational opportunities Lawrence and its surroundings have to offer. Then when the time appears, take the break for summer recreation at its best.
"We sold approximately 1,600 Worlds of Fun tickets last year," SUA box office supervisor Donelle Meyer said. "Already in April and May we've sold over 1,000. We've got the lowest price on Worlds of Fun tickets in Lawrence."
*This is the second year SAU will offer summer events on the Hill. Kennedy said. He said that more than 1,000 students attended last year's concerts.
For those students yearning to break out of Lawrence, SUA sells half-price tickets to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun in Kansas City. Mo., as well as reduced price passes to Silver Dollar City in Branson. Mo. Tickets are on sale at the SUA office in the Burge Union.
The next free event is tomorrow's showing of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" at 9 p.m. The remainder of the season includes the bands Baghdad Jones at 7 p.m. on June 18 and Caribe at 7 p.m. on July 16. Other summer on the Hill events include "Let's Go Jaybowling" at 9 p.m. on June 25, which features $1 bowling at the Jaybowl, and a coed volleyball tournament at 10 a.m. on July 11. The volleyball teams will consist of two men and two women, with a $20 entry fee for each team, Kennedy said. Registration deadline for the tournament is 5 p.m., July 8, at the SUA office.
But for some, recreation doesn't mean heading to theme parks filled with screaming children and choking
scents of greasy funnel cakes and overcooked hot dogs. For those people, recreation means heading to the great outdoors. And with Clinton State Park right next door, students need look no further for their piece of the outdoors.
Clinton Reservoir, located within the 1,500-acre state park, offers visitors a wide range of facilities including picnic areas, a boat ramp, a full-service marina and over 500 camp sites, wildlife and parks manager Jerry Schecher said.
It's a good taste of camping for
it's who they're not sure of the invest-
ment.
Schecher said there was also a "Rent a Camp" program, where for a $10 fee plus all permit costs visitors can rent a tent, cots, a stove, a lantern and a cooler, enabling them to enjoy camping without making a serious monetary investment.
Camping paraphernalia is also available at the Jaybowl through the Wilderness Discovery program, said Michael Fine, recreation coordinator for the Kansas and Burge Unions.
Since August, Wilderness Discovery has rented camping equipment to students, faculty and staff. Fine said. Reservations must be made in person at the Jaybowl, and when equipment
is checked out, patrons must present University identification and a $20 refundable deposit.
For those who prefer a tamer outing... Lawrence Parks and Recreation department has other alternatives.
In addition to outdoor activities, the department will also host free band concerts at 8 p.m. Wednesdays at the bandstand gazebo in South Park on Massachusetts Street near 11th Street. These concerts will run weekly through July 15. Also for music enthusiasts, a noon brown bag concert series will be held on Thursday in front of First National Bank weekly through Aug. 13, Fode had
The city offers one indoor and one outdoor pool, along with 18 tennis courts and various parks and playgrounds, said Kathy Fode, superintendent of recreation of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department.
And if none of these recreational items is appealing, summer parks and recreational courses ranging from aerobics to belly dancing began the week of June 8. Fode said.
So if June, July and August seemed boring, think again, because summer in Lawrence offers sunitans, swimming, volleyball, camping or just about any recreational pleasure one can ask for.
