Hill catches party spirit
By KIRK KAHLER
Staff write
About 300 people, sitting in small groups, were scattered on the hills behind Templin Hall, some talking, others just looking around.
About 15 people danced on a nearby basketball court, while 20 others waited in line for drinks - soft drinks only. This was Hug-a-Hawk, a party Saturday night for students who live in residence halls.
Most of the students attending Huga-Hawk said they enjoyed themselves, but the lack of alcohol seemed to dampen some partygoers' spirits and may have affected attendance.
"There isn't as big of a line at the Porta Johns," said Sgt. John Brothers of the KU Police Department, who has worked security at both dry and wet Hug-a-Hawks.
Hug-a-Hawk, an annual party on Daisy Hill, is sponsored by the Association of University Residence Halls and is an opportunity for hall residents and others to get acquainted before classes begin.
In the past, the party's main attraction had been free beer, now a casualty of Kansas' legal drinking age of 20. AURH stopped serving
beer at the party last year.
"In the past, all you had to do was contact a band and the beer distributor," said Drew Blossom, AURH president.
This year, Hug-a-Hawk was more like a carnival, with games and prizes. Noelle Jibril, AURH's national communication coordinator, said the carnival activities served as a substitute for beer.
Both Jibril and Blossom said the lack of beer might have affected the turnout, which they said was comparable to last year's. Blossom estimated that about 1,700 students attended the party.
Both also said that people seemed to be having a good time without the alcohol. Blossom said those who wanted to drink probably went back to their rooms or cars to do so.
Laird MacGregor, Templin Hall president, said the absence of beer was a positive thing.
Instead of getting drunk as in the past, students now focus on meeting people, he said. MacGregor also said organizers wanted to get the message across that the absence of beer does not mean the end of a good time.
Those who attended the party had

Troy Miller, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said that he did not have a good time and that the absence of beer was one of the main reasons.
However, Jeany Donohue, Prairie Village sophomore, said she had a good time without the alcohol. But she said beer might have produced a larger turnout.

I just love to dance. She said.
Will Cohen, Topeka junior, came to the party to become re-acquainted with old friends. He said that more people attended the party and were rowdier when beer was served, but that everyone seemed to have a good time at both.
