SUA prepares final touches for student ski, beach trips
By JIM LEHNER Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Student Union Activities is for its two spring trips to South Padre Island, Texas, and
Gene Wee, SUA program adviser, said yesterday that 148 people were scheduled to go on the Padre Island trip and that 44 would go to Taos.
"The response for the Padre trip has been very impressive," Wee said. "We have about 80 people driving and nearly 70 going on the road each day." The Padre, in his year, which was considered very impressive,
"The Padre trip has always been a successful one. It's a traditional place for college students to gather, especially from the Midwest area."
He said that SUA used a travel agent to make hotel reservations and that students would be staying in two condominiums—the Bahia Mar Resort and the Padre Marina, which houses eight to 10 people in one condominium.
Wee said that at first, he was concerned that the Taos trip would be canceled because of lack of interest, as the Daytona, Fla., trip was.
"The Daytona trip surprised us for its poor
showing," Wee said. "I feared that the Taos trip would have to be scratched, too.
"However, we got many people signup on the website before the deadline, which made the trip possible."
We said that the Taos trip was a new one to SUA and that he had been worried about not being able to go there.
"Perennially, we sponsored ski trips to Colorado and we gambled on a little change of our lives."
"We felt that Taos was a good place to try because it was written about favorably in travel magazines as a good place to go if a vacation is planned, and the conditions without the huge crowds of Colorado.
Wee said he thought ski trips were not as popular with students now as they had been in the past years because of difficult economic conditions.
"I can see why most students prefer the sun trips, such as Padre, to the ski trips," he said. "The prices are much cheaper for the snow trips than for $185 if people take the bus and $183 if they drive."
"The $ki trip costs $33 if you ride the bus and about $20 if they don't."
Wee said that ski trips were more expensive because of the cost of skips and lift tents.
Beer in stadium issue not within Alumni bounds. up to Chancellor
Senate endorses idea
By DEBBIE DOUGLASS
Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas Alumni Association will not make the decision on whether to sell beer in Memorial Stadium, Dick Wintermute, Alumni Association secretary-treasurer, said recently.
"That decision is made at Strong Hall and by the chancellor," Wintermute said. "We can only agree."
"And there's no doubt that at this time Chancellor Budig doesn't support the proposal."
Wintermate said that on Jan. 30, Chancellor Gene A. Budig invited the Alumni Association board of directors to a meeting to give its opinion on selling beer in the stadium.
Last week, the Student Senate Rights Committee voted to obtain alumni奖金 on petitions at football games next fall to gain support for the beer proposal.
"We said we were opposed to it at this time," he said.
WINTERMOTE the Alumni Association was willing to talk about the issue, "but it is hard to talk about it."
"Really, only one student senator has come and talked to me," he said.
Wintermorte said he personally would like to have beer in the stadium, and he did not know
why the Alumni Association was "taking the rap."
"There needs to be a well-thought-out presentation, face-to-face discussions, full knowledge of how other campuses have handled it and whether there are any financial benefits."
The Senate is not approaching the issue in an organized wizard. Wintermote said,
Instead, he said, they are handing it frantically and are throwing around incorrect
The Senate Rights Committee has a task force investigating the beer issue.
"It's obvious that there is some sort of communication problem. If the Alumni Association wants a coherent, detailed report, we sure can handle it," he said. "Jim Cramer, committee chairman, said."
"I'll sit down and talk with the alumni president and ask him what details in particular he wants. We'll give the Alumni Association a report on the beer proposal," Cramer said.
"WINTERMOTE said the Alumni Association just wanted the issue approached in a sensible way to make sure that the decision to sell beer would not harm the University.
"Every alumnus I know were students and liked beer," he said.
"We're all on the same teem and care about the same things."
Cramer said that according to a student opinion survey taken last fall, an overwhelming majority of students were in favor of having beer in the stadium.
And it was thought, he said, that if alumni were against the beer proposal, then there was no way to win.
"Support of the alumni is necessary because they are more than half the fans, and traditionally, they have influenced athletic policies," Cramer said.
CONCERNING the Senate's proposal to obtain alumni signatures in support of beer in the stadium next fall, Wintermore he thought it would be hard to distinguish an alumni member from a fan.
"It's an awkward way to do it," he said, and legally, there would be no way to verify the identity of the man.
He said that most people on a game day would be in a hurry and would not want to sign something about which they did not know the pros and cons.
But, he said, there was nothing wrong with trying to gain support and measuring the interest of others.
