Football parking handy
Stadium area residents offer yards as spaces
By Debbie McMahon Kansan staff writer
Myrtle Mitchell just received a check in the mail.
It was from the man who has sent her a check for 25 years. And it guarantees that he has a parking spot in the stadium and football games — all season long.
"He's the only one I give a reserved spot to," Mitchell said. "He has a special spot in the driveway. He won't have to park in the mud."
Mitchell has been letting people park in her yard for home games for 37 years. 10 cars in the front yard and 8 cars in the back yard. The parking fee would be $4 a car.
The money she takes in helps pay her taxes, she said. Last season the demand for parking spots was down, so she tell a little short of her goal. "You're not going home games with Kansas State University, the University of Oklahoma.
the University of Missouri and the University of Nebraska.
Just up the street at the home of Bob Evans, retired KU chemistry department worker, people already have access for spaces for the Oct. 8灌溉 game.
Evans said he had been letting people park in his yard for 20 years.
"I've got them coming from all over Kasaa," Evans said. "From Abilena, Salina. And I've had them come back for years."
This year, for the home opener,
sports information estimated an attendance of 37,500. The crowd will have a variety of places to park.
Honda Dufine, assistant director of the hospital, said most of the yellow-zones are in the dium and at Eleventh and Main streets had been purchased by the city.
A toll of $3 per vehicle will be charged to park on Memorial Drive, on Mississippi from about 11th street on the Spencer Museum of Art, on
Odisha Avenue between 12th and 13th streets and behind Carruth O'Leary Hall. Toll stops also are available between 10th and 11th streets.
Vehicles with handicapped stickers can enter and park free at 11th and Maine streets.
People can park in most other areas except blue zones, Hultine said, without getting tickets.
"I don't want to say we won't be issuic tags," she said, "but most of our people will be tied up with football."
The Athletic Department will be operating two bus shuttles beginning from two hours before game time, which is 12.06 p.m., to 10 minutes prior to game time, said Art Lingle, assistant business manager for the department. The shuttles will begin running at 11:45 a.m. and left minutes in the last quarter until half an hour after the game is over, he said.
The festivities of the Jayhawk's first home game Saturday will begin for many people with the pre-game taligate parties.
Excited students will be chatting amongst themselves about classes, the Hawks' chances and where the post-game parties will go. A lot of them will reminiscing about the great Jayhawk teams of vesterwear.

Saturday football tradition continues
But not every pair of feet in the parking lot will be swinging to and fro from the back of a vehicle. Both KU and Lawrence police
Scores of fans, their feet dangling from the backs of pick-up trucks and station wagons, will begin filling the parking lot east of Memorial Stadium early Saturday morning. Parents will paw in front of kids in baskets and pass out sandwiches, chips and cookies to youngsters.
"We estimate that 30,000 fans will be in attendance. Most of them will be pincicking peacefully, but there are always those who don't."
"I would be awfully surprised if the parties were much different than those of previous years," Longaker said.
Officer Chris Mulvenon of the Lawrence Police Department, said that Lawrence police expected some problems with officers who were not fully foxed were ultimately responsible for punishing offenders.
Longaker said that 3.2 percent beer would be allowed in the parking lot outside of the stadium, provided the consumer was at least 21 years of age. She said that no alcohol would be allowed inside the stadium.
Four-generation KU family recognized on Parents' Day
By M. Meredith Relph Kansan staff writer
A four-generation family of past and present Jayhawks will be honored at tomorrow's football game, as KU honoree Parents Day family.
Tracie Nash, Bay City, Texas freshman, represents the fourth generation of her family to attend the University of Kansas. Her parents, Jeffrey and Kyton (Neson) Nash, City and king, grandfather, Charles Nash, Phoenix, Arz, all attended KU, and graduated from the Jawahra play Baylor University.
Nash's grandmother, Namiori Nash Nash, also attended KU, and her great-grandmother, Vera Pederrhout, graduated here in 1920.
(Corbin Hall) as my great-grand mother did," Nash said.
The Nash family was reemitted to the Parent's Day Commitment Program, and the Alumn Association, which reviews incoming freshmen to find a family that will make them feel at home.
Loren Taylor, director of membership development for the Alumni Association, said invitations were sent out to families to enroll in the alumni magazine for families with two or more generations of KU students to apply as Parent's Day family member.
"We've had fifth-generation Jayhawks apply, but there were none this year," Taylor said.
He said there were many second-generation families who applied, but added that the University tried to
concentrate on families with longer lineages.
"I live in the same dorm now
The Nash family will be introduced before tomorrow's game, and each member will receive a brass Jayhawk souvenir.
As a fourth generation Jayhawk, Nash said she had always planned to come to KU, though she did consider attending the event she was not accepted here.
Nash was named valedictorian for her Bay City High School class, and she graduated from Delta sorority. She said her parents had been active in the Alumni Association.
Nash's younger brother is also considering coming to KU.
"We found out about two weeks ago," she said. "Everyone's excited about coming up."
Hotel rooms scarce
By a Kansan reporter
There's not any room in the inn, any inn.
Because of the inflow of parents and visitors for Parent's Weekend, Lawrence hotels are booked full.
"There are 806 rooms in Lawrence," said Judy Billings, director of Lawrence Convention and Exhibition. "We'd have to guess that even one will be full."
Billings said that many hotels had been booked for as long as a year.
"Some parents stay at a certain hotel for four years while their kids are here, then they turn the room over to a friend for their kids," she said. "I have a great demand for hotel rooms or weekends like in lawrence."
"The weekend is great for the economy," said Nancy Longhurst, general manager of The Eldridge restaurant, to be full; our restaurants will be full."
Billings said some people will stay in Topeka or Kansas City for the weekend because of lack of accommodations in Lawrence.
The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachussetts St., has been booked for the weekend for seven months.
Lawrence restaurants will also benefit from Parent's Weekend.
"It increases our volume," said Windell Scott, manager of Beerceros Mexican Restaurant, 2515 W. Stuck. "Such an overwhelming number of people in that if we took reservations, we would be booked long in advance."
Same cost more food at games
By a Kansan reporter
There is good news for hungry football fans this year: food prices will not increase. Better yet, cones will help keep the ball in play selection offered during the games.
