Managers at Lone Star Lake and Clinton Lake estimated that Labor day weekend attendance would be double or even triple the size of typical weekend crowds. Stacey Neff, Lawrence sopho being Clinton and Lone Star Lakes for years. "I go to Lone Star for social
Lone Star Lake
Bob Steele, Lone Star superintendent, said the lake offered a variety of activities, ranging from swimming to camping and picnic facilities.
The Lone Star Lake Swimming Area is a popular spot for people trying to beat the heat.
The lake is open everyday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fishing is permitted throughout the night, but a maximum of eight minutes quiet hours begin at 10 p.m.
He Soled Star had several picnic areas and three shellers, plus sailboat, paddleboard and boat舟 rentals at the marina. The marina also includes a concessions boatyard boat dock and swim dock.

ming areas but is allowed in the picnic and camping areas. However, no kegs are allowed.
Steele said Lone Star was a popular place for students to visit during warm weather. The park and lake area covers 422 acres and is seven miles around. The surface area of the lake is about 200 acres.
"When it's hot, we come out here to lay out and swim." Blair said, as he and his friends settled into the last remaining spots on the swimming dock. "We lay here, enjoy the scenery occasionally our crew use their netsiices. It's a good way to blow off steam."
Greg Blair Hinsdale, III, sophmore, visited the lake on the weekend with several friends. They were just a few of the students taking advantage of the cool water and sunshine at the lake.
Alcohol is restricted in the swim
Clinton Lake also offers a variety of watersports and activities, plus hiking and horseback-riding trails.
Victor Counts, Clinton Lake project manager, said the trail followed a criss-cross path for 30 miles.
"The project is 10 years old and is pretty much state-of-the-art," Counts said. "Our visitation is over a million a year."
Counts said the 7,000 acre lake included two major public areas. Clinton State Park and Bloomington park. Both areas offer swimming beaches, boat ramps, picnic facilities, camping, swimming and trailer hook-ups with water supply, sanitary station and showers.
Hunting and fishing licenses are required to hunt and fish at Clinton Lake, and may be purchased at Clinton State Park. A hunting license in 1989 for a state resident was $10 a year, and $50 for a non-resident. David Rhoades, park manager, said those prices were

Fishing licenses are $13 a year for
state residents and $28 a year
for out-of-state residents. A 24-

Rhoades said boats must be registered in the boater's home state and registration should be provided by the operator safety gear such as life vests.
Swimmers take advantage of the sun at Lone Star.
The state park charges an entrance fee of $3 a day or $20 a year, but federal park areas, such as the Yellowstone National Park charge a minimal free camping for them.
Ten thousand acres at Clinton Lake are open for hunting during the season, and fishing boats can be rented at the State Park marina. All public use areas in the lake, including picnics tables and fresh water.

"Most people know what they can or can't do," he said. "Most people abide by the rules. Each year, we have to educate a new

By Jamie Elliott
Kansan staff writer
More than 1,200 tickets have been given away for a free concert Sunday at Murphy Hall by the Strategic Air Command Band, but people eager to see the band perform still have a chance.

Tickets for the concert were gone in a week, she said. This is the SAC Band's first visit to the KU campus, but they have performed in many of its venues. The Topeka tomorrow. The University is the last on their current tour.
"We had the same policy at the Marine Band Concert last year," said Carol Pennington, concert coordinator. "We ended up being able to sit of a people. And since it's Day at Sea, we have extra seats will be available."
"Military bands are very popular," Pennington said. "They are good bands with a wide variety of music that appeals to all ages and different kinds of people. The SAC Band is very good, and people know it."
In addition to the concert, the band will perform with the Marching Jayhawks at the pre-game ceremony of Virginia football game Saturday.
"They don't normally march." Pennington said. "This is something they're doing as a special favor for us."
Sgt. Bryan Summers, a KU alumnus and member of the SAC band, said the band spent part of each year giving free concerts throughout the city.
The Sunday performance will begin with a seven-song set by the concert band.
Summers said the full band consisted of 60 musicians. The largest component, the concert band, includes 50 members. The SAC band also features a 20-member jazz ensemble. The Notables.
