Losses spark talk about Jaybowl future
By JIM LEHNER Staff Reporter
A decrease in business at the Jaybowl has sparked much concern over its future. Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas Union, said recently.
FERGUSON SAID that the Jaybowl, which is on the first floor of the Kansas Union, lost $1,718.07 this year, a 21.8 percent decline in revenue from last year. Last year the Jaybowl made $1,290.6 in profit, according to the
Kansas Union Memorial Corporation Boardreport.
"I echo the Memorial Board's opinions when I say that I don't think the Jaybow will experience any rapid recovery, because of the economic times that we are now facing." Ferguson said.
"We really have to look into the possibility of whether there is any future in the Union's recreation facility at all."
Ferguson said that the Memorial Barret had decided what it would do about him.
"We haven't formalized any directives on what action we're going to take," Ferguson said. "We have to sit down and see what direction we'll go in."
Ferguson said that he didn't think the Memory board would do anything to it.
"The most frequent complaint that I've heard from students and board members about the facility is the deterioration of the lanes." Ferguson
Another problem, and probably the most serious one, according to Ferguson, was that Jaybowl patrons often couldn't find parking spaces.
Also a problem, Ferguson said, was the possibility that the increased
number of video games in Lawrence
and on campus cut into the Jaybowl's
"ONE THING THAT befuddles me is the fact that we have the lowest prices in town for our pool and bowling facilities, but they're not being patronized by the students," Ferguson said.
At the Jaybay, one game of pool
cents, and a game of bowling,
12 cents.
Ferguson said that the Jaybow!'s location could be a key to the situation.
"Maybe the location of the place is the problem, because some people have told me that they didn't know that the facility existed," he said.
