Bowl games mean more than fame and a vacation
Which craft?
Schools profit from bowl bids

Today, post-season college football bowl games mean more than national exposure and a trip for fans and players to some place like Florida, California or Hawaii. To many teams and conferences, it means big payoffs and more money.
The $75,000 that Kansas will receive for going to the Aloha Bowl mound big, but it is not when compared to other bowls. The money might pay only for the cost to send the team, coaches, cheerleaders and band members to Honolulu, said John Hadl, assistant athletic director.
es. The Athletic Department may run into additional costs if the almost 8,000 tickets given to Kansas by the bowl's organizers are not sold. It will cost at least $482,000 to send the Jayhawks to Hawaii.
Hadi estimated that the department would spend about $237,000 on air fares, about $125 a day for each hotel room and $30 per person each day for food and other expens-
The department will net at most $288,000 for Kansas' participation, according to Hadl's estimates. In fact, Kansas also will receive money from the Big Eight Conference's participation in the Orange Bowl. Each Big Eight school will get about $350,000 when the conference champion, either Nebraska or Colorado, plays in the Orange Bowl.
A contract made between the conference and the Aloha Bowl's organizers states that
There is speculation that Colorado may go to the Fiesta Bowl. If Colorado does, the payoff is $3 million per team. Colorado would deduct队 expenses from that amount and turn the rest over to the conference which would divide the remaining money equally among all eight teams, said Carl James, conference commissioner. Kansas would receive about $250,000.
none of the other Big Eight schools will profit from from one team going to Hawaii because of the lower payoff.
Nebraska spent about $1 million just on travel expenses for the Orange Bowl last year, said Gary Fouraker, assistant athletic director for business affairs at Nebraska.
Fouraker said the Orange Bowl was one of the more expensive bowls because of its national prominence. The bigger the bowl, the more university officials and VIPs a team needs to bring, he said. For example, the entire Nebraska football band, which has about 200 members, attended the Orange Bowl, but Kansas is paying only for a smaller pep band of about 30 Marching Jawhawks.
"It's really for the players, coaches and fans," he said. "It's for the people who made this thing happen. Besides it's prestige. It's national television on Christmas Day and it helps recruiting.
"It's not going to cost anything. That is the key. We're looking at it as a reward."
The trip to Honolulu is not about money, Hadl said.
Clubs apply for new licenses
Five Lawrence bars make requests to state ABC board
By Kristy Dorsey Kansan staff writer
With food sales restrictions removed from drinking establishments in Lawrence, some private club owners are in the process of applying for open Drinking Establishment licenses.
The state Alcoholic Beverage Control board has received five applications from Class B private clubs in Lawrence requesting that their licenses be changed to that of Drinking Establishment, said Jim Conant, ABC chief administrative officer. As of Aug. 31, there were 20 Class B clubs in Lawrence
Non-private clubs will not need to apply for a new license because of the change in the law, Conant said.
Class B private clubs require that all patrons be either members or guests of members of the club. Prior to the Nov. 3 election that changed the food restrictions, establishments that did not sell memberships were required to make 30 percent of their gross revenue from food sales.
"Class B private clubs are really the clubs that are going to be affected by the changes in the law in Douglas County," he said. "Other clubs could reduce the amount of food they sell, or eliminate food sales entirely, although we're not necessarily in support of that."
Doug Hassig, co-owner of Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St., said his bar would not be affected by the change in the law.
"We're a drinking establishment all ready, so it doesn't affect us that much," he said. "But I think it will help out some places on game days. For a place like Benchwarmer's that is a private club, when people just want to go out and get a drink, that will help those places out."
Until clubs that are currently Class B establishments receive the Drinking Establishment license, they must continue to ask for memberships from patrons.
Louise's West, 1307 W. Seventh St., is one of the five bars that has filed a Drinking Establishment license application with the ABC. Manager Jason Graf said he had not
received the new license, even though he applied for it on November 9.
"The ABC keeps telling us that the license will be coming any day, but it's been over a month now since the law was passed, and we still don't have it," he said. "Our customers are wanting it. They still have to deal with the membership hassle, and they want us to get that license."
Graf said he had been told that the delay was because the ABC had not received a letter from the Douglas County elections commission notifying the state of the change in the law in the county. The ABC must receive that letter before it can legally issue Drinking Establishment licenses.
Conant said yesterday that the ABC had the letter, although he could not confirm exactly when the letter was received. Douglas County Clerk Patty James said she mailed the letter to the state on Nov. 12.
As of yesterday, the ABC had Drinking Establishment license applications from Louise's West and four other Lawrence bars, including The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.; the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St.; West Coast Salon, 2222 Iowa St.; and the Suloh Club, 1003 E. 23rd St.
Phone calls from Santa help children get in holiday mood

him this time.
There is not a moment's peace in the Stancliff house after Bob Stancliff's 6-year-old daughter gets a phone call from Santa Claus.
"She brings it up to anyone she sees who hasn't been told," he said. "It's a really, really big thing around our house."
Stancliff said his daughter had received calls from Santa or his helpers in the past, and that she is already talking about what she'll say to
For the past 10 years, the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department has organized the phone calls, which are traditionally followed by a letter from Santa Claus. This year, members of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority plan to help the department make the expected 150 calls.
Llee Ice, the program's organizer, said registration forms are available in City Hall, the Parks and Recreation office and recreation centers around Lawrence. Parents are asked
to provide a list of presents the child is likely to receive, as well as information such as names of pets, friends, favorite toys and past Christmas gifts that may help convince the kids the caller is authentic.
"It is kind of a slick way of doing it," he said.
"With this information, it really blows them away because they've been told Santa knows everything, including if they've been good."
It's always kind of neat to see that sparkle in her eye," he said. "She is just such a strong
believer in Santa Claus. It's just a remarkable reinforcer."
Christy Kuhn, Overland Park sophomore and coordinator of the Alpha Micron Pi effort, said she was a little concerned about building up the authenticity of Santa Claus, but that wouldn't stop her from making the calls.
"A lot of children are disappointed when they find out Santa Claus isn't real," she said.
"But I don't think it's harmful. It's more fun
Kuhn said she was more concerned with how well female callers could convince the children they truly were Mrs. Santa Claus or elves.
"We're going to tell them Santa is so busy he can't come to the phone," she said.
The program targets children who are 7 and under. Parents are asked to donate $1 for the service.

Report: pesticides, metals present in Kansas water

Pesticide residues and metals are a few of the pollutants damaging water quality in Kansas, according to a recent report by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
KDHE officials said some rivers and lakes in Kansas, including the Kansas River and Clinton and Lone Star lakes, were not fully meeting some of their designated uses. The report determines water quality by monitoring whether Kansas waters met designated uses, such as recreational, agricultural and domestic uses.
Tim LeTourmeau, water systems engineer for the City of Lawrence, said that although pesticides, residues and other pollutants might prevent Lawrence water from fully meeting its uses, the city's sanitation system removed most of the chemicals before water went to households or businesses.
"It's definitely safe to drink. LeTourneau said. "We run tests on the water every two hours."
The city also sends monthly reports to the KDHE in Topeka. LeTourneau said the city's sanitation system chemically removed metals, disease-causing bacteria and pesticides found in the Kansas River and Clinton Lake, the main sources for Lawrence's water.
But the water is not safe to drink before the city treats it, he said. In general, people should not drink untreated water, he said.
Ed Carney, lake biologist with the KHDE, said swimming in Clinton or Lone Star lakes would not be harmful to
humans despite the KDHE's report that shows the presence of metals and pesticides such as Atrazine.
He said that Aatrizine probably was more of a threat to humans than the metals were but that both the pesticide and metals posed more of a threat to fish and other aquatic life than to humans.
"We're not living in the water, breathing the water, and filtering the water," Carney said.
He said Clinton Lake had lower levels of Atrazine and that Lore Stake Lake had moderate levels of the pesticide.
"Probably the largest problem at Lone Star at the moment is with the levels of Atrazine, Carney said.
The pesticide, along with other pollutants from agricultural run-off, have prevented the lake from fully supporting aquatic life.
Atrazine also has prevented Clinton Lake from fully meeting that use, as well as its recreational use. Bob Angelo, chief of field services with the KDHE, said Atrazine was a concern of the KDHE in rivers in Kansas, including the Kansas River.
"The concentrations of Atrazine are a lot higher than we'd like to see," Angelo said.
Another pesticide damaging the Kansas River is chlordane, a termite control pesticide now suspended in the United States, he said. A fish consumption advisory is in effect for the portion of the Kansas River between Edwardville and Kansas City, Kan.
Angelo said other notable factors affecting the waterquality of the Kansas River included solids from cropland erosion and potentially pathogenic fecal bacteria from warm-blooded mammals.
