Budget Staff's families to visit Hawaii
Budget limits travelers to bowl

Thanks to Aloha Bowl money, about 265 people from the University of Kansas will spend Christmas in Honolulu.
They will be flown to Hawaii and also lodged, fed and entertained with the $750,000 earned from the Kansas football team's first bowl appearance in 11 years.
Just who would share in this bowl windfall was a matter for one University committee to decide — the Chancellor's Postseason Athletics Committee, which comprised nine people including one student.
They had to decide how many student boosters, football staff members and administrators to take on the chartered plane. That was a matter made difficult by the high cost and the relatively small Aloha Bowl payoff, which is one of the lowest of all the bowls, said Richard Konzem, assistant athletic director and member of the committee.
Konzem said that because of space and budget limitations, only seven spirit squad members and 45 Marching Jayhawks, could be sent to Hawaii with how money.
"That is not what we would like, but it's what we could take." Konzem said.
Also on the trip will be 52 family members
of KU employees going to Hawaii They will make up a fifth of all those on KU's chartered plane.
That's not fair, sad Harper Chaffee, a Topeka senior who thought the bowl money should be used to send more students in the band and spirit sound.
"I did not feel it was fair that students were passed up for seats given to children and family members," he said.
But inviting family members is a standard policy, not only for KU's previous bowl appearances but also for other schools that have participated in the Aloha Bowl, Koenziased.
“There are an awful lot of constituencies who want to go to this bowl game,” he said.
“But somebody somewhere has to make a decision and draw a line.”
"It will be a very scaled-back version of what we usually send," said Ralph Zabell, BYU sports information director. "Not even all the scholarship players are going."
Despite the limited budget, the spirit squad will end up better represented than planned at the game.
KU is not the only university having to draw a line. So is Brigham Young University, KU's opponent.
Elaine Brady, the group's coordinator,
said that emergency funds would help
send six more members and that five members were paying their own way.

Chris McLeroy, Knoxville, Tenn., dances for approximately 100 people in front of Wescoe Hall. McLeroy was promoting his new dance group, Continental Divide.
Student buffs for bucks
Kansan staff writer
By Delin Cormeny
Apparently, Chris McLeroy just could not wait to walk down the Campanile Hill in May.
The Knoxville, Tenn., senior, who graduates this month, held his own version of a commencement ceremony outside Wescoe Hall yesterday by dancing about in nothing but black silk boxers.
He said he would have stripped down to a G-string, but he didn't want to offend anybody. Besides, "It was pretty chilly out there," he said. If you failed the performance, ask him about the video.
"I graduate in December and this is how I'm going to support myself until I go to graduate school," McLeroy said, explaining that he started a male dancing company about six months ago.
Yesterday's mid-day show, which attracted about 100 people, was part celebration and part promotion. Some of his friends passed out fliers advertising McLeeroy's new company, Continental Divide, and promoting its robust performance to date, scheduled for tonight at Becer-
ros Banquet Facility, 2515 W.6th St
All five Continental Divide dancers — who, the way, are also KU students — will wandage down to their G-strings in front of an expected crowd. The evening's guest. Onto tonight. Guys have to wait until 9 p.m. to get in.
"I like the attention," McLeroy admitted after today's performance. "The girls were yelling when I ripped off my pants, but the guys just kind of stood back."
He said he got his start about a year ago when he took a job as an "unknown stripper" He liked it.
"If I had a choice, I'd like to join a stripping company and tour with them," he said. He plans to meet with Chippindales in the near future to discuss the possibilities.
He said he planned to commit himself full-time to expanding his company until he decided the time was right to go back to school and get his master's.
In the meantime, he said, he will be working on putting out a calendar that will feature him and the other Continental Divide dancers.

Lewis residents continue to voice noise complaints
Who knows what he will do to celebrate that degree.
Lewis Hall residents aired their complaints in a meeting with Ken Stoner, director of the housing department, yesterday, and got results.
They discussed what they thought was insensitivity on the part of the department in dealing with the noise from drill and jackhammer work. Students said the construction work sometimes began as early as 6:30 a.m. for the renovation of the hall's cafeteria.
Prior to the meeting, Stoner had received a petition signed by more than 160 residents asking to either be released from their contracts or receive reduced rates for next semester.
Tiffany LaMothe, Kansas City, Mo,
sophomore, and Dana Henderson, St.
Louis freshman, attended the meet-
ing with students live on the second
floor.
LaMothe said that Stoner said he would deal with residents only on an individual basis and would not issue a
blanket policy
However, after realizing that the construction was affecting one particular area of the dorm, concessions were made.
"Although the whole dorm is suffering, he thought that the residents of 2 South had endured the most," she said.
Stoner said that because the concrete sunscreens being removed from the exterior of the second floor were virtually a part of that floor, those residents received the brunt of the vibrations.
"When you're working on those, you are essentially jaring the floor and creating a barrier."
Because rates are not usually reduced, Stoner said he would instead open the north wing of the fifth floor, which has been unoccupied this semester. The housing department will give priority to residents of the south wing of the second floor and allow others to move on a case-by-case basis.
"We will attempt to have 5 North ready to go for the students when they arrive."
