A festive atmosphere — complete with friebles, basking sunbathers, snoozing dogs and live music — prevailed Saturday morning as 3,500 people about 40 kegs of beer at the KU athletics' department's first pre-game tailgate party.
Police and party organizers reported no problems.
"This raises your spirits," Terry Fraker, Bonner Freshmen school, said as he watched a crowd gather to see the KU spirit squad do its pre-game routine. "It really puts you in a mood for the game."
"I love it," said John Lata, Atchison
"they ought to do this every year."
AS THE CROWD around the spirit squad swelled, Mike Hamrick, organizer of the party and administrative assistant to the athletic director, said, "Boy, this place is really starting to fill up now."
Others at the party agreed.
The party promoted school spirit and got people fired up for the game, he said.
"I've been to some pep rallies in the past and this is the first time I've seen this many people at once," Ramon Hoch, Emporia senior said.
If you can mobilize the student body
at this campus, you have a significant achievement." he said.
AS THE DUCKS paddled on Potter Lake, and football fans flicked popcorn and downed beers, the band, Ruby Shoes, played rock'n rolltums at the top of the grassy hillside west of the lake.
To get free beer, a student needed a ticket for the game, a KU identification card, and proof that he was at least 18 years old.
Student leaders from KU living groups volunteered to check student's identification and distribute the beer, Hamrick said.
Jill McLeod, Arkansas City sophmore, said that she enjoyed working because it gave her an opportunity to harass Witch State University fans.
Some Wichita State fans wandered into the party, and some even tried to get beer, but most quickly followed the asphalt path to the stadium.
The beer was donated by Lawrence tavern owners and the band performed
The seven KU police officers stationed around the party's perimeter were never needed. Police said that there were problems and that the party went well.
"I think people were pleasantly suprised," said KU police department officer Jenne Longaker. "We certainly had an open-ended thing was well-run and well-organized."
