Season tickets still being sold
Although sales of student season basketball tickets have been brisk, approximately 1,560 are left and will be on sale. The tickets sell at Nancy Walsh, ticket manager, said sales.
"The lines were big on Tuesday, but they were gone down since then." Welsh said. "We've got a long list of people waiting in line, but there have been a few complaints because people can only buy a car."
More than 3,000 of the 7,200 tickets were sold Tuesday. After today, leaver season tickets will be sold until the first home game. Welsh said.
Tickets cost $11 this year and will be sold after 5 p.m. if students are waiting in line, Welsh said.
SUA play series will bring together KU and Lawrence
Student Union Activities will present a series of three plays beginning Nov. 28, emerging the Lawrence and KU compulsory theater, the Kahler, SUA staff member, said yesterday.
The SUA Theater Series will be performed by the Lawrence Arts Center, Ninth and Wing, which will perform from both the University and Lawrence in "Wings," "Waiting for Godod," and "I Do, I Go."
The plays are being directed by people involved with the University Theatre.
"Wings" is the story of a 72-year-old former wing-walker from aviation's early stun-tling duty who suffers a stroke. The play follows her struggle to recover.
Written by Arthur Kopit, the play ran on Broadway and soon will be made into a film. It has never been performed in the Midwest, Kaher said.
"Waiting for Godot" is an experimental project, she said, because the production has an all-female cast, and because for the first time a film will be presented from a feminist point of view.
"They are exploring the possibility that the play does not speak as well for women as it does for men," Kahler said.
SUA has presented theatre productions for three years, but has never presented a series.
The third production, "I Do, I Do," is stricty for entertainment, she said. The show has a two-member cast.
In the past, the shows have been performed either in the Kansas University or at the Arts Center because the Murphy Hall production was copied by University Theatre productions.
This year, Kahler said, the plays will be at the Arts Center because productions are small and are ideal for the stage there.
Neighborhood battles burglary with safe house
Houses in the Oread neighborhood have been plunged annually by burglars that are willing to cause harm. However, the Oread Neighborhood Association has set up a program it hopes will help residents.
While they are on vacation, Oread residents can store their valuables in a house run by the association, according to the cooper, project director of the association.
The house, called the safe house, will be protected at all times by a life-in-guard and an alarm system. Harper would not give the location of the house, because he secured the house with a mighty ladder its security.
BEFORE THE safe house can accept anything, the owner must record the brand, style, serial number, and estimated value of the equipment. The association then records the storage.
The safe house is part of a community anti-crime program funded by the U.S. Department of Justice. It has grown in size since it opened last year, Harper said.
"The safe house is really a unique service, according to the Auditor of the Department of Justice," Harper said.
Another crime prevention service offered by the association is the lending of timers to residents. For a one dollar deposit, residents of Lawrence can borrow timers on their behalf and turn on the lights at night to give outsiders the impression that someone is in the house.
The association was investigating the possibility of finding foreign students to live in unoccupied houses in the Oread neighborhood during Christmas break. Harper, a graduate student at students a free place to live and would project houses in the Oread neighborhood.
THE ASSOCIATION has several other anti-crime programs that have been initiated in the Oriental neighborhood, Harper Avenue and 106th Street to make their houses and apartments burglar-proof. For victims of burglaries, the association provides services to increase the security of the buildings. The association also successfully petitioned the Lawrence City Commission to approve a new law to increase the security of the buildings.
"Little by little, people are beginning to trust our programs as a real service to the neighborhood," Harper said.
