Reunion rich in art but not financial return
By JULIE McMAHON
staff writer
River City Productions didn't expect to make money from the River City Reunion and it didn't.
But organizers predict River City reductions will at least meet its goals.
"We didn't quite break even yet," said Bill Rich of River City Productions. "It depends on merchandise sales. It might take awhile."
Rich said River City Productions, which financed the off-campus stores for the remaining City Reunion Trirhits and other mechandise are sold.
Rich said, River City Productions could break even or make a profit.
River City Productions was financed by loans, credit and donations. Rich said he and James Grauerholz, also of River City Productions, were responsible for the loans.
"Our names are the ones on the loans." Rich said.
But even if the Reunion doesn't make money, it was a success in the eyes of many.
"SUA felt it was a very big success," said Katherine Giele of Student Union Activities.

Wedge said the on-campus events did well with its budget. The on-campus and off-campus events were financed separately. On-campus events received money from SUA, the college lecture fund, academic affairs and the department of English.

The Japanese delegates will speak in Kansas City, Mgo., on Friday.
Proceedings are underway to suspend indefinitely one of the Lawrence High School students involved in a fight last week, Lawrence High School Principal Brad Tate said yesterday.
The fight left the other student, Yuk "Kenny" Cheung in critical condition last week. Cheung was transported to the University of Kansas Medical Center on Thursday afternoon for a closed head injury he received. Cheung has been released since the incident.
According to police reports, the fight between the two students began in gym class, but a teacher broke it up. After school, the students began to fight again. Cheung was thrown against the school building and on the ground before a teacher broke up the second fight.

Now taking that rest from the pill is no big deal.
Semicid works—without hormones. So it's a great alternative if your doctor tells you to take that break from the pill. You see, Semicid has the spermicide doctors recommend most. And it's approximately as effective as vaginal foam contraceptives in actual use, but is not as effective as the pill or IUD. (Some Semicid users experience irritation in using the product. For best protection against pregnancy, follow package directions. And it's essential to insert Semicid at least fifteen minutes before intercourse.) Now you can avoid hormones without giving up convenience. With Semicid.
