Rock Chalk Rowdies to cheer in effort to bring KU victories
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
Move over Wolf Pack. Look out Bleacher Bums. Make way for the Rock Chalk Rowdies.
What are the Rock Chalk Rowdies,
you ask.
Scott Lawrence, Greensboro, N.C., senior, said last night at a meeting of the Rowdies that he hoped everyone would know the answer to that question by the end of next year.
But for those who don't want to wait until then to find out, Lawrence said, the Rowdies is a pep club, the first KU has had in 22 years.
The last time there was a spirit group at KU was in 1963," he said.
Lawrence said he helped start the group last semester because he thought some activities - get acquainted sessions with football players, for example - could be
handled better by a pep club than other existing groups, such as the Student Sports Council.
About 25 people attended the group's organizational meeting last spring, Lawrence said, but the group did not accomplish much.
Lawrence said the goal of the group now was to gain credibility and establish its purpose.
"Our purpose at this point is still kind of vague," he said.
"We just barely got started last year," he said. "The group didn't take off very well, because we were 'out of season.'"
The Rowdies have the support of head men's basketball coach Larry Brown, the group's sponsor, he said. Head football coach Mike Gottfried also has expressed support for the Rowdies.
"And the KU cheerleaders are
behind us 100 percent," Lawrence said.
Lori Hoopinggarner, Manter junior,
said 49 students had signed up to join
the Rowdies at the activities fair
during orientation last month. At the
Rowdies' first fall meeting on Sept. 4,
15 additional members were recruited.
However, only about 20 people attended the second Rowdies
meeting last night.
the more people we get involved, the better the group will be," she said.
Recruiting more members will be one of the group's priorities, Hoopingarner said.
Hoopinggarner said one of the group's first projects would be to sell "Terrible Towels" to help raise money for the cheerleaders. Students will wave the towels to show support at KU games.
New faculty welcomed at mixer
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
Chancellor Gene A. Budig jokingly thanked KU facilities operations personnel for leaving the lectern out long enough for him to speak at the 19th Annual KU Mixer last night.
Budig welcomed more than 50 new KU faculty and staff members to "the finest university in the Great Plains" as facilities operations personnel began to pack up the equipment that performing groups had used earlier in the evening.
More than 600 members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce turned out at Meadowbrook Apartments, 15th Street and Crestline Drive, to welcome more than 150 new educators from the University of Kansas, Haskell Indian Junior College, Baker University, Lawrence public schools, Saint John's School and the Douglas County Christian School.
"Lawrence has a real sense of community." Budig told the educators. "I guarantee you'll like living here."
Ann Wiklund, director of memberships and community affairs for the chamber, said, "The mixer began as an opportunity to welcome new educators to Douglas County because we recognize that education is the area's most important industry."
The chamber's KU Affairs Committee, a group of about 25 people that sponsors the mixer, changed the format of the mix from a buffet-style picnic to a 17-booth food carnival.
