But the end of the tradition of opening Johnny's will take some of the image away, he said.
The news upset Craig Rogers, Spring Hill junior.
"To get to go and open Johnny's up, that was the big thing," Rogers said, reflecting on his earlier college days.
He said he had opened the bar four times, once after standing in line for 45 minutes.
He said he would have to make the 7 a.m. visit again before the tradition ended.

He credited the decrease to people realizing that it was an illegal activity for which they were not willing to go to jail, a threat that has increased since the '70s.
He said that because of the anti-war movement and social unrest, people gathered in large groups. If 90 percent of them were smoking marijuana, it was highly unlikely they would be arrested by the few police officers present, he said.
Only about 50 percent of the Lawrence marijuana smokers may have been students. Mullens said
He also said it was much more common for people to grow their own then. Because the marijuana that grows wild in Kansas is poor in quality, cultivated crops came out of a desire for better marijuana.
The erratic and anti-establishment lifestyle of the times probably was the reason for the presence marijuana, he said.
Drugs of every kind were on campus in the '70s, Mullens said, but marijuana was the most common because of the milder physical consequences of using the drug.
"Pot just went along with it," he said. "It's not quite a part if the culture that it used to be, but it is still a part to some degree."
NASA names flight safety panel
United Press International
ON RESERVE AT KINKO'S.
WASHINGTON NASA met another another recommendation of the Challenger accident investigation commission yesterday by naming a space flight safety panel to monitor all manned space program activities.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the panel would promote flight safety for all space programs and assist various program managers in ensuring that their projects are safe.
Astronaut Bryan O'Connor, who was the co-pilot aboard the shuttle Atlantis in November, will direct the panel and report to a new NASA associate administrator who will be in charge of the newly formed Office of Safety, Reliability and Quality Assurance.
Other panel members are shuttle flight director Lawrence Bourgeois, Kennedy Space Center test director Norman Carlson, and Harry Craft, a
"The unrelenting pressure to meet the demands of an accelerating flight schedule might have been adequately handled by NASA if it has insisted on the exactly thorough procedures that were its hallmark during the Apollo program."
The commission said the safety program "became ineffective" after the Apollo program, which ended in 1972.
The Rogers Commission, which investigated the Jan. 28 accident that killed seven astronauts recommended June 9 that NASA form a shuttle safety panel to review operational issues, flight rules, the criteria needed for a launch, the readiness of various flight systems and assessment of risks.
mission manager at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
"This loss of effectiveness seriously degraded the checks and balances essential for maintaining flight safety," the commission's report said.
The commission especially was critical of NASA management in the wake of the Challenger accident and the apparent absence of an agencywide safety organization. Challenger was doomed by a faulty rocket booster joint, but word about the danger never made its its way to top managers.
The new NASA flight safety office is directed by George Rodney, a former test pilot who has widespread experience managing aircraft and missile test programs.
The Rogers Commission also recommended that NASA give astronauts more management responsibility.
"The commission was surprised to realize that after many hours of testimony that NASA's safety staff was never mentioned," the panel said in its 256-page report on its investigation of the Challenger
Commissioners also gave reluctant approval to a contract between KGE and Cargill Inc. KGE agreed to reduce Cargill's rates if the grain processing company agreed not to generate its own electricity, which would have eliminated Cargill as a KGE customer.

The KPL order is designed to force the gas company to proceed with transporting Kansas Pipeline Co. gas through KPL's distribution system, despite KPL's reluctance.
TOPEKA — In separate rulings, the Kansas Corporation Commission yesterday declared KPL Gas Service must transport natural gas for Kansas Pipeline Co. and approved an electric contract between Kansas Gas & Electric Co. and an important customer.
The KCC ordered KPL Gas Service to begin transporting natural gas from the Kansas Pipeline through the KPL system to a new Kansas Pipeline customer, Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp., in Kansas City, Kan.
Although KPL is to be paid its costs for transporting the gas — meaning it loses no money in the deal — the gas company was reluctant to do so because of threats of lawsuits from its own natural gas supplier, Northwest Central Pipeline.
Although unrelated, the two rulings reflect efforts by industries in Kansas to find alternatives to their increasing utility costs.

Northwest Central - which would
The result will be the purchase of cheaper gas by Owens-Corning, while KPL receives the same reimbursement for transporting the gas through its system regardless of its source.
In the KGE case, the commission gave reluctant approval to the Cargill contract.
"It's very painful, but we have no choice but to approve the contract," commission Chairman Michael Lennen.
The five-year contract calls for Cargill to pay KGE a one-time, upfront charge of $2.3 million for electrical service during the life of the contract. Cargill contends it will save $630,000 a year during the period
KCC rulings reflect effort to lower costs
Although that means the amount. Cargil saves must be charged to other customers, the commission gave its approval because Cargil threatened to stop buying KGE gas altogether.

Cargill, which is KGE's eight largest customer, said it already has electrical cogeneration units operating at Cargill facilities in the Netherlands and could build similar facilities at its plants in Wichita. The company contended cogeneration could meet 94 percent of its electrical requirements and 100 percent of its heating needs.
