Events to serve responsible drinkers
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
Witches and goblins will haunt Wescoe Beach next Wednesday offering free non-alcoholic beverages to anyone who is interested.
The event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is part of National Alcohol Awareness Week, Oct. 20-26. The week's events are sponsored by the lifestyles committee, part of the office of residential programs. The committee received $250 for the Wednesday event from the Association of University Residence Halls when it met last night.
The money will be used for the non-alcoholic beverages, or NABs. It also will defray the costs of advertising for the week's events and the cost of buttons, which will be sold for 50 cents to help promote the week.
To capture the spirit of the Halloween season, the week's theme is "NAB the spirit — drink responsibly."
"Our message is not to say drinking is bad," said Julie Goss, chairman of the committee and resident director of McColum Hall. "Our focus is to say drinking is OK, if you do it responsibly."
The group also will distribute
Gov. John Carlin will sign a proclamation declaring the week Kansas College Alcohol Awareness Week, Gross said.
literature and recipes for non-
alcoholic beverages Wednesday.
Five movies on the responsible use of alcohol will be shown in the University residence halls throughout the week. Gross said. Times and places will be announced to be distributed in the halls next week.
Gross said she hoped some Greek living groups would participate. Anyone who is interested may contact Gross at 864-3836 or 864-3611.
Also at last night's meeting, AUHU announced that it would present three horror films on Halloween night for tentatives of University housing. Tentative plans call for the movies to be shown in the McColum obby.
AURH also will provide $50 for a pizza party for the winner of Sunday's softball tournament for hall residents. Because teams will be composed of men and women, Templin and Lewis halls and Joseph R. Pearson and GSP-Corbin halls will cooperate to provide teams for the event.
Commission revises bus fund request
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
Lawrence City Commissioners do not want to get into the business of running a bus company, Commissioners are being asked by Lawrence City Commission's meeting last night.
But Price Banks, city planning director, and commissioners have spent a lot of time with federal red tape since last January.
Commissioners voted last night 4-0, with Commissioner Ernest Angino abstaining, to clarify wording in a request to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration for money to buy four new buses.
Commissioner Ernest Angino said
he wanted to go on the record saying that he disapproved of the way the transportation administration officials had told the city that all it had to do was apply for these funds.
In January, the transportation officials told commissioners that money was available for transportation projects. In June, the commissioner paid $475,000 in federal funds to cover 80 percent of the cost of the buses.
Lawrence Bus Co. was to provide the remaining funds to purchase the buses. The city would then lease the buses, which would replace regular route buses, to the company for a token amount.
At the Sept. 24, commission meeting, commissioners had to kill
an earlier resolution dealing with the fund request and pass a new one — just to change a name in the resolution.
Last night, commissioners had to add the words, "capital or other expenses" to "operating" expenses, to the funding request.
"I don't think the UMTA representatives knew what the hell they were talking about at the time they were here." Antoine said.
After the meeting, he said, "If this is an indication of the way they (transportation association) operate, I don't think I want any part of it."
Angino asked what the implications were of adding the words to the resolution because it was one of his "concerns about getting involved
with UMTA, the feds or any one else.
Before you know it, you're dragged down a spiraling well without even knowing we're getting involved in it.
Banks said the city would have plenty of time to get out of an agreement if the association tried to attach the donations to the bus funding agreement.
The city is far from closing an agreement to get the funding or to purchase the busse", he said.
"We have been fooling around with this for about nine months," he said, "and at the rate we're going, we could wrap it up next month and have a chance to do it on a year. Or we could take another year in the application process."
