Four KU students took a bite out of the Big Apple this weekend after winning a contest Friday night at Ellsworth Residence Hall.
A trip to New York City was the grand prize of a drawing at the Both Lewis & Templin Semi-Formal Suitcase Dance,
The dance was sponsored by Lewis and Templin residence halls and open to residents of all campus residence halls, scholarship halls and Jawhawk Towerers
Residents entered their names in the drawing when they arrived at the dance, which was held in Ellsworth's third-floor lobby, said Andrea Barefield, Minneapolis, Kan., sophomore and public relations chairwoman for Templin Hall. Students also brought suitcases in case they won.
At midnight, winners were announced amid screams and whistles from a crowd of about 200. Amanda Matthews, Salina sophomore and Templin resident, and Mindi Nielsen, Colby freshman and Ellsworth resident, won the trib.
The two winners each chose one person to accompany them.
Matthews' guest was Jamie Attanasio, Salina freshman and Ellsworth resident. Nielsen's guest was Abbey Baker, Topeka freshman and Ellsworth resident.
The four girls were taken by van to Kansas City, where they stayed the night, and they flew to New York Saturday morning.
As she left the dance, Matthews
"I have no idea what I'm going to do in New York," she said, while whiling a group of friends.
said she couldn't believe she had won.
Barefield said the Templin and Lewis hall governments had been looking for a place to send the winners and decided upon New York after Vanguard Airlines said it would sponsor the tickets.
The residents spent Saturday and yesterday in New York and will fly home today. Barfield said
The Department of Student Housing excused the four residents from Monday classes, Barefield said.
She said the dance and the contest were a success.
"We're hoping this will be something of a legacy we can pass down to future residents," she said.
