University Daily Kansan Tuesday, September 25, 1979 3 Area group plans to greet pope By ROSEMARY INTFEN Staff Reporter Staff Reporter Among the 250,000 expected visitors in Des Moines next week will be 172 KU students and Lawrence residents on hand to welcome of Pope John Paul II on the midwest. The Rev. Vincent Krische, co-patron at St. John's, said yesterday that there will be four chartered buses leaving St. John's School Library parking lot at 3 a.m. on Oct. 4. "We started having people sign up about three weeks ago and filled up one bus with 43 people. Then it was two, then three and now four," he said. "We've had an overwhelming response from students and parishers for the trip," Krische said. Krische said St. John's parish, which is working with the Saint Lawrence Catholic Center to organize the trip, could have been a much more successful company said there were no more available. "WE'VE HAD to turn down quite a few people, or at least put them on waiting lists. But we aren't very hopeful of getting another bus," he said. Kristie estimated that three-fourths of the people going on the trip were students at KU. The remainder are Lawrence residents and high school students, he said. He said that the trip was first announced on campus so students had the first chance to sign up. Krische said that many of the people going to see the pope viewed the opportunity as a once in a life time chance. "It is also an important step in trying to reaffirm my faith. I think the pope will have something important to say to all of us," he said. MAUREEN McREYNOLDS, Fairbury, Ill. junior, said she was going to see the pope because it was one of the most important events in the history of the church in the U.S. "It's going to be a neat thing to share with the people of the midwest. I see it as a once-in-a-life chance and a celebration of the coming together with the head of our church." Shawna Mahoney, Overland Park senior, said she wasn't sure yet if she was going to get to go but is excited nevertheless. "The Pope has never been in the country during my life. I have never been able to see him. I haven't even heard him because he always stays in Rome. How can anyone pass up an historical event like this." Tim Henry, Aitchison freshman said, "I'm that chance a like this will come in a lifetime. I'm also going because I think it works." But Mr. Jenkins even though some of my friends don't **_**. Tm McGuire, Wichita junior, who has been helping collect names for the trip said 'I'm Catholic and he is the pope, that's why I'm gang.' University Women's League Starts Wed.
