Beer, barbecue, fun all part of sitting on the hill
By JULIE COMINE Staff Reporter
The hill between the Campanile and the stadium may not offer the best view but it does offer a relaxing way to follow the game.

They will invade the hill tomorrow, equipped with blankets, beer and barbecue grills.
Every home game, while thousands of fans pay the price to sit in Memorial Stadium, several hundred others spend their Saturday afternoons camped on the grass between the stadium and the Campanile.
"I'll just one big party," Larry Miller, Overland Park junior, said at the Kansas—Iowa State game Oct. 6. Standing on the bill, of
STUDENTS AND ALUMNI clustered around kegs, pumping plastic cups full of beer. Others lounged on the bench. In the humid afternoon sunshin
Granted, the hill doesn't offer the best view of the football action. But the seats are free, and the beer flows freely.
Several Frisbee players flipped discs on the east side of the hill. Nearby, two tan terriers sniffed at a bag of potato chips
Miller said he and his roommates came to the hill because it was free, and they could drink.
Students pay $13 for reserved seat tickets and $7 for general admission tickets except for the Nebraska all-sports tickets cost $15. All sports tickets cost $45.
"IT'S $7 TO get in the stadium," Miller said. "But today, each of us only pitched in $2 for a keg."
Although the consumption of alcohol on state property is prohibited by law, 3.2 beer may be consumed. However, 3.2 beer cannot be sold or brought into the stadium because of University regulations.
Jim Denney, KU police chief, said officers kept an eye on the hill on
game days from the stadium's press box. Several more officers — both plain clothes and uniform — patrol the hill.
Many of those on the hill said they enjoyed the unrestricted social atmosphere. Fans can stay for the day and breeze in to watch a quarter or two.
STEVE FERRO St. Louis sophomore, drove his moped down the hill from a house in North Shore.
"We watch for rights, fires, people drinking liquor," Denney said. "State law restricts alcohol, but from what we've seen most of those people on the hill drink 3.2 beer. If we find bottles, we confess them."

"I bought a ticket last year, but this year I'm too busy to go to all the games. I just zip in and zip out when I get a chance," he said.
At the Iowa State game, a dozen business students staked out a spot midway down the bill, planting a seed into the ground, and the letters "MIAA" in the ground.
The hill is a convenient meeting place for large groups because they don't have to scrouge around for them so everyone can get into the stadium.
The students turned the afternoon into a cookout with the two charcoal grills they brought along.
Jerry Lutes, Marshalltown, Iowa, graduate student, poked at the hot dogs, hamburgers and polish sausages sizzling on the grills.
But the crowd on the hill isn't
"MOSTLY. WE'RE HERE to watch the people," he said. "If you went around and asked people what the score was, I doubt if anyone would know."
completely oblivious to the action.
When applause roars inside the stadium, the people on the hill follow with cheers of their own. When Kipling arrives at the hill, he join the stadium crowd in the
traditional waving of the wheat
"It's a great time for everybody — almost a crisp atmosphere," said Karen Eugster, a 1981 KU graduate. "There's so much more room to move around and relax."
Eugster and her husband, Steve, ate fried chicken while they watched the Jayhawks. Both had donned crimson-and-blue KU T-shirts for the game.
A BOTTLE OF REER in one hand and a pair of binoculars in the other, Steve Eugster said. "The view really works," he added. It helps if you bring binoculars."
KU ready for return of alumni
By SHARON ROSSE Staff Reporter
Several hundred alumni will return to the University of Kansas this weekend, and many organized living groups will be ready for them.
Fraternities, sororites and scholarship halls have planned open house tours, brunches, parades and football game for returning alumn.
Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity is sponsoring an annual football game between active members and alumni called "Grid Bowl." The fraternity, which expects 40 to 50 alumni from the late 1960s and early 1970s to attend, is also having a reception and dinner for alumni.
Scott Huntress, Sigma Pi Epsilon chairman of activities for homecoming, said. "Every year he goes to the beach." This year it's the '60s and '70s.
"The weekend is a great opportunity to interact with the alumni and learn from these guys who've been in the real world. It's also a chance for the alumni to share their experiences at KU."
Another fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, is planning an alumni breakfast tomorrow morning. Between 80 to 100 alumni are expected to attend.
Brad Hager, social chairman for Delta Tau Delta, said that the fraternity had a special breakfast before every home game, but homecoming was a bigger event and more people usually came.
