K-State tickets still available — for a price
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
Contrary to circulating rumors, the K-State football game on Oct. 19 is not sold out. But be prepared — the tickets available for the game are $15 each.
From staff and wire reports.
Kent Weiser, KU ticket manager, said Tuesday that plenty of tickets still were available but that students shouldn't dawble if they wanted good seats.
"The earlier you buy them, the better seats you will get," he said.
"That's how we assign seats. The better ones go first."
Steve Moore, Wichita third-year law student, said he was taken by surprise when he went to buy tickets for the K-State game two weeks ago.
"I was buying tickets for myself and a group of my friends and
relatives," he said. "I went in to buy seven tickets. Not only were the tickets $15, but everyone — including my sister's 21-month-old baby girl and her 3-year-old son had to have a ticket.
all-sports or season football tickets. She said no general admission tickets would be sold for the K-State game. General admission tickets are not available.

"I had to buy two extra tickets.
because of the rivacy between the two schools," Wachter said. "We don't sell general admission tickets for games of that type."
Susan Wachter, Athletic Department business manager, said the $15 tickets were reserved seat tickets and the least expensive ones available to students who didn't have
Wachter said Athletic Department personnel would like not to have to
reasoning, but didn't think it was fair.
"I had the money, so I paid double what I expected to for the tickets," he said. "But it's the principle of the
thing. I think it's a really silly policy."
Moore also said he thought that making parents buy full-pice tickets for their small children was not the best way to encourage alumni with families to support the football team.
"A family of four would have to pay $60," he said. "There are a lot of other things a family might want to do with that kind of money."
Weiser said the Athletic Department policy required everyone going to the game, regardless of age, to have a ticket.
Weiser said children sitting on their parents' laps often disturbed others trying to enjoy the game by kicking the people in front of them or squirming off their parents' laps and taking up seating space.

This brontosaurus finds that squeezing into the Museum of Natural History is easier with a little help from facilities operations workers. The brontosaurus, which was moved into the museum yesterday afternoon, is part of the Dinosaur Days exhibit which will run Oct. 5 through Oct. 29.
Prehistoric animals storm onto campus
Rv Gary Duda
Of the Kansan staff
Better call Godzilla. The University of Kansas has been invaded by prehistoric creatures.
As students and faculty went about their business yesterday, two plant eaters and a carnivore took over the Museum of Natural History.
Many students stared with curiosity as workers from facilities operations rolled the life cycle of their work. They ran up a ramp and into the museum.
The sight was even enough to make pigeons perched on gargoyles on the front of the museum's stop and take notice.
The three animals, which paleontologists refer to as Diatryma, Triceratops and Brontosaurus will be roaming free inside the museum Oct. 5 through Oct. 29 as part of its "Dinosaur Days" exhibit.
Cathy Dwigans, assistant director of membership and public relations for the museum, said the exhibit was part of an effort to increase campus and statewide awareness of the museum.
"We thought it would be a good way to draw attention to the museum and to the resources here." she said.
The man-made monsters are expected to draw a big crowd. Dwigs said the creatures attracted 20,000 visitors in the first 10 days they appeared last year at the University of Oklahoma.
While most of the animals were a success with the Sooners, it is likely that the Diatryma was avoided.
Dwigans described the Diatryma, which means terror bird, as the ancestor of the Jayhawk. This flightless bird stood more than seven feet tall and bore a striking resemblance to the Jayhawk.
The exhibit will also include a Smilodon, commonly referred to as a Saber-toothed cat, and a
Edaphosaurus, "ee-DAFFOh-sawruss."
This is the first visit to Kansas for three of these creatures. Only the Edaphaosaurus, which lived more than 225 million years ago, and the Smilodon, which lived 50 thousand years ago, ever roamed Kansas, Jerry Martin, curator of the museum, said. Kansas was covered by a shallow sea when the creatures were alive.
Philip Humphrey, director of the museum, said the animals were supplied by Dinamation of San Juan Capistrano, Calif. The rubber-skinned figures are computerized and movable.
The creatures are intended to do just about everything the real things would have done, but at half to full scale. Mothers won't have to worry about their children being eaten by the monsters, but do need to keep them clear of the swinging heads and wagging tails.
Humphrey said that several years ago the museum asked a group of local residents to suggest how they could enhance the utility of the museum to the public.
"We asked a group of Lawrence citizens to form a Museum of Natural History advisory board so that we could obtain their input on directions the museum might go to better serve the community," he said. "One of the major comments the board made to us was that we really had to improve our visability to the public."
The exhibit will be open to the public. There will be a admission fee to cover the cost of bringing the creatures to the University. The exhibit will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Ruth Gennrich, director of public education, said museum staff and graduate students would be running workshops, lectures and films about the dinosaurs.
The museum has already received many reservations for tours.
Spending by top senate officers limited by bill
By Bonnie Snyder Of the Kansan staff
A bill to limit the spending of the student body president and vice president passed the Student Senate Finance Committee last night.
The bill was amended to limit spending by the two officers to $1,000 for a single expenditure without the approval of the Student Senate Executive Committee. The bill originally set the limit at $500. The bill is scheduled to be debated Wednesday in the full Senate.
Tim Henderson, chairman of the finance committee and author of the bill told the committee that the bill's purpose was to put a check on large expenditures.
He said he was not attacking the current Senate administration, but saw a need for more than two people to approve big purchases.
"My major argument is common sense." Henderson told the committee.
Steve Gilchrist, engineering senator, said the bill was not a check but a restriction on the power of the executive officers.
He said StudEx was systematically taking power from the administration.
"I still think this is a very minor check." Henderson said. "I don't think this is bluntly castrating the power of the executive branch."
Bill Maahod, Senate treasurer, suggested the amendment that raised the limit.
He said the higher limit would prohibit embezzlement while still allowing the administrators to do what they were elected to do.
The bill was assigned to the committee last night during the regular meeting of StudEx.
They had been suspended from the Senate on Sept. 14 for missing too many meetings.
William Easley, student body president, said in the StudEx meeting last night that almost all 17 Senate seats that were left vacant by suspensions and resignations over the last four months had been filled.
During the StudEx meeting, two senators, Doug Stallings, graduate senator, and Jim O'Donnell, liberal arts and sciences senator, were reinstated to their positions.
