Lawrence kids climb for confidence
Students sponsor rock-climbing day for local children
By Sara Anderson sanderson@kansan.com Kanson staff writer
KU students had Douglas County children climbing the walls Saturday at Robinson Center.
Children in Big Brothers-Big Sisters spent the morning at the climbing and bouldering walls at Robinson center. Black Student Union and Recreation Services sponsored the event, which ran from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
"I think they had a great time," said Todd Moore, Partnership with Youth case manager for the organization. "With the climbing wall you have confidence building, selfesteem building. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance for them. I think that's why lots of kids came out."
Sandé Beauboeuf, St. Louis, Mo., junior, and corresponding secretary for BSU, said the event was motivating for the kids.
"Before they go on the climbing wall they kept saying, 'I can't do it, I can't do it,'" she said. "But when they got up to the top their

spirits were lifted."
"It's sort of hard, but that's what makes it fun," she said. "The first time I didn't make it all the way up. The second time I got it. If you try your hardest you can make it up."
This was the second year for the event, said Jason Krone, intramural director and part of the planning committee for African-American History Month.
Krone said that about 60 people participated this year, 30 more than last year. He said the event appealed to the children.
"We choose this activity because we know kids want to do this and knew it was something that would attract them," he said. "The kids are really better than we are, and it's their first time up there."
Monica Hubbard, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore, said that BSU members always wanted to participate in community-service events but that the members' schedules often conflicted. She said the event allowed members to serve the community.
"We want to let them know we do care and want to reach out to them whenever we can," Hubbard said. "We want to get involved with the kids and let them know we're there if they need us."
Sarah Hein, Wichita junior who works for Big Brothers-Big Sisters as part of the requirements for the School of Social Welfare, said it was a great idea.

"It's really active," she said. "Lots of kids are really into sports and they can have fun and use up a lot of energy."

Mickey Mouse proxies will be recruiting University of Kansas students today for the Walt Disney World College Program.
attendance at the parks.
Tomorrow morning, recruiters will hold formal interviews for next summer and fall. Disney is interested in hiring Portuguese-speaking students because of high Brazilian
A meeting for interested students will be held at 6 tonight in 308 Dyche Hall. Recruiters will present videos and KU students who had participated in the program.
The students selected for the program will work in any of the parks or stores at the Walt Disney World complex in Orlando, Fla. They will live at Vista Way, a condominium complex that Disney keeps for college students in the program.
Disney pays College Program students $5.60 per hour.
Moreira said she had the chance to
experience diversity much more than on campus by living with people from other countries and cultures.
"It's a great name on your resume," said Juliana Moreira, Petrolina, Brazil, junior. She is a Disney representative at the University and worked in the Magic Kingdom turnstiles last summer.
"It was cool to meet all those people from all over the world, but I knew I was going to be exploited and I was," Willingham said. "Some of my friends just had an awful time. The rat messed them over," referring to the nickname workers give Mickey Mouse.
Willingham enjoyed going to the parks for free but resented the unstable working schedules and getting paid less than regular workers for the same job.
But Disney is not all pixie dust and fun. Steven Willingham, Manhattan senior, worked at Disney last summer as a merchandise host, and his good memories are fewer than his bad ones.

However, it was good enough to make Amie Gorrel, Salina junior, want to go back. Gorrel worked last spring in an attraction called "Backstage Pass" at MGM Studios.
"I took what I could get from it," he said. "Disney World gets to use you, so you use them. Seeing how disorganized it is inside the company ruined the Disney magic for me. It's an enjoyable summer, but it's not as good as it seems."
