Lawrence lands bid for athletic games
Kansan staff writer
841-9513
A new athletic competition known as the Sunflower Games will take place in July 1990 in Lawrence, according to an announcement by the Lawrence Convention and Visitors
Craig White, Columbia, Mo. doctoral student, who is helping the bureau develop the event, said the competition would be open to all age groups and offer at least
2329-M Iowa
13 events scheduled for first competition
White, 27, has three years experience with the Show-Me State Games.
He said Missouri's games, which began in 1985, had grown from 10 to 22 sports and from 600 to 16,480 participants.
He said the town's experience will athletic events helped win the bid for the Sunflower games. Lawrence was the site of the Amateur Athletic Union's Juniors Olympic in 1988.
Filbert has consulted with the local group and said it was critical to his organization.
Lawrence outbid Manhattan and Lenexa for the games, which will be conducted July 27-29.
White said the Lawrence group had submitted a budget that would be reviewed with the state next week. White said she would be discussed at the same meeting.
"Things will start out slowly," he said. "If we can get 2,000 to 3,000 participants, that would be fantastic."
The first competition, White said, would be on a small scale.
"Lawrence had to bid and know how to organize." White said. "There are people here who know what it takes."
said Gary. Filbert, director of the Show-Me State Games.
The confirmed 13 sports, White said, are basketball, bowling, bicycling, golf, road racing (5K and 10K), soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, triathlon, weightlifting, wrestling and volleyball. Two other possibilities are swimming and diving.
White said the games would not have qualifying rounds in its first year, but district competition was likely afterward. He also said the organization would abide by the state high school association's rules for team sports.
"It's of the utmost importance to involve institutions because they have the facilities and expertise in putting on events," he said.
If Kansas can emulate Missouri's games, the state may have a success.
Although Missouri's games have not turned a profit, Flibert said, the competition was economically worthier in communities that host the competitions.
"In 1989, the 11,000 attending in Columbia spent $5 million," he said. "So, sure it makes money. It's really a boost to the local economy."
KU's herbarium gets monetary nutrients
By Angela Baughman Kansan staff writer
Ronald McGregor has given much more than a $586,000 gift to KU's herbarium.
McGregor, who made the gift along with his wife, Dorothy, has given more than 45 years of his life to the herbarium, which was renamed for them by the Board of Regents in September.
MegGregor's gift, establishes an endowment for the hibernarium in a
$186,000 charitable remainder trust and a $400,000 estate provision. The pledge has been included in Campaign Kansas, the University's fiveyear, $177 million fund-raising campaign.
McGregor received bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in botany from the University of Kansas in 1941, 1947 and 1954, respectfully. He was director of the hebramum from 1984 until his retirement in January.
Despite his retirement, McGregor,
professor emeritus of botany, arrives
at Bridwell Laboratory by 6:30 a.m.
to do work at the herbarium, which
boasts the country's largest collection
of Great Plains flora.
specimens to more than 350,000 during McGregor's tenure as director. He and his wife's gift will ensure continued growth of the collection. They specified that the gift be used for maintenance support and research at the herbarium.
McGregor still analyzes and catalogs specimens and answers mail that the herbarium receives from around the state and the world. Usually, he gets requests to identify plants and samples. He also said he was recently consulted by an attorney for a case in which marijuana was involved.
"I never know, when the mail comes in, what they're going to ask," he said.
McGregor's work has taken him across Kansas and the Great Plains region.
