Sailing Club seeks crew
By RAY FORMANEK Staff Renorter
That sailbot outside of Wescow Hall is not an idol for the Tan Man's sunship. It belongs to the KU sailing club, which is using the boat to attract people interested in sailing.
Members of the club will be at the boat to answer questions about the club tomorrow and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m.
"Basically the goal of the club is to teach and promote sailing at KU," Randy With, vice commodore of the club said.
With said the club sponsored beginning sailing classes for new members consisting of a three week-end program of explanation, demonstration and used practice on Lake Perry.
After new members complete the course, they must pass the 'skipper's test' before they can boat without supervision.
"It's like soloing in an airplane." With said, "Students must show they can put the sails up, take them down and are cannailers of the boat."
New members who are accomplished sailors may take the intermediate racing course the club offers.
Two regattas are held each year at Lake Perry. In the spring, the "Miller Cup" regatta takes place. The race is regional and is sanctioned by the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association. The club also sponsors the "Sunflower Cup" each fall.
Club membership dues are $20 a semester for individuals and $30 a semester for families. The membership includes instruction in boat use, boat storage and use of the facilities at the Lake Perry Yacht Club, where the club's boats are anchored.
The club has traveled to regattas in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wisconsin, With said.

Some Lawrence businesses were hit hard this summer when about 15,000 KU students left town after the spring storm. Others barely noticed the changes.
Exodus hits businesses
The total Lawrence population decreased 15,000, from 58,000 to 43,000.
Students 15,000, Indian Union 20,000 and no smaller than 20,000 reducing the noonulation by about 1,000.
"Sure we need the KU students," he said, "but part of the problem is also the economy and no summer school at Haskell."
Businesses hurt most were bars, bookstores, theaters and fast-food restaurants. Those hurt least included supermarkets, apartment complexes and long-standing businesses with year-round customers.
BRUCE KARNES, co-manager of Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, said Wendy's business was down 25 percent.
"My business is down 60 to 75 percent," Kelly Judd, co-owner of The Crossing, a tavern, said. Judd said he had not cut his hours of operation. Only 20% of workers in working in the tavern this summer because employees were not needed.
In contrast, Kief's Discoun Records
according to John Kleifer, the owner.
We've established a continuous
business by being here more than 20 years," he said. "People come back from Kansas City during the summer to buy merchandise."
None of the businesses surveyed reduced their hours of operation or carried-out any special campaigns to attract summer business. Also, no part shown showed significant differences in business activity from any other part
BOB RADCLIFFE, owner of General Jeans and president of the Downtown Lawrence Association, said most downtown businesses were well enough established to survive during the summer.
Area bookstores noticed a decline in business and were looking forward to the end of the year.
"We need students all the time," he said, "but we don't notice that much change in business."
Like Kiefer, Radcliffe said many students came to his store from other schools.
Bill Muggy, manager of the Jayhawk Bookstore, said he would make up for lost revenue in the fall. Muggy said he teamed up with the summer for the students' convenience.
Sales declined at the Kansas Union Bookstore from the spring semester, but were better this summer than they had been in previous summers, according to Betty Brock, bookstore manager.
