Parking show rolls tape despite missing guest
By Spencer Duncan
Kansan staff writer
Alicia Holliman was minutes away from the taping of her television debut, but her guest was missing.
Holliman, Overland Park junior, is the host of a new weekly segment on KU parking, on the University of Kansas' television station, KUJH channel 14.
She was prepared to tape the first installment with parking director Don Kearns yesterday, but Kearns' secretary said he was preparing to fly to Korea. She did not say why he was going.
"We still have to put on a show," Holliman said. "We just have to change a few things."
Instead of talking to Kearns, Holliman and the crew talked to people on the street about parking.
It was not the way the shows creator, Eva Nilzon, Sweden graduate student, had expected things to go.
"One of the things that gets students fired up is parking."
EvaNilzon Parking-segment creator
"The show has to go on, and my concern is putting something together," Nilzon said.
Nilzon said she had spoken to Kearns' assistant about his guest appearance. The assistant said she would tell Kearns about it, and if he had a conflict, he would call Nilzon. Nilzon hadn't heard from Kearns, so she assumed he was coming.
The show should have a parking department representative every week,Nilson said. The show airs at 5:30 p.m.Fridays on Channel 14. The station can be picked up with an antenna.
The show has two goals, Nilzon said.
"One of the things that gets students fired up is parking," Nilson said. "This show is meant to get information out and be interesting."
It will tell people which lots are closed on football and basketball game days, which roads are closed during the winter and which areas are under construction. Holliman said the show would evolve into something special.
"There are a lot of ways that we can branch out with this," Holliman said. "I would like to see us get into some real news."
Nilzon expects the show to be a success.
"This is a show that I think many people will be interested in," she said.

Festival draws to close
Weekend marks final 1996 event for celebration

For one more weekend, men on horseback will sit atop their beasts wearing armor and waiting for the joust to begin in the Renaissance Downs. In Cotswold Commons, turkey drumsticks will be served with an ear of roasted corn, and the queen will sell her fresh carameled apples.
The Renaissance Festival, located 30 minutes and 400 years east of Lawrence, is a step into the past for the 180,000 attendees who venture to the 15-acre festival site. The benefit for the Kansas City Art Institute, 4415 Warwick Blvd., in Kansas City, Mo., highlights the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries when reforms in art, economics and religion swept across Europe.
"This is an event that's unlike any event you'll go to," said David Unekis, director of public relations for the Renaissance Festival. "We have 200 performers in the
street to interact with people and blacksmiths in their shops forging steel."
Since 1977, the festival has raised money for capital improvements for the privately financed fine arts college, Unekis said. In 19 years, the festival has raised more than $2 million for the art institute. The festival runs for seven weekends each year, and tomorrow through Monday will be the final weekend of the 1996 event.
"The people are all dressed up in costumes, walking around like they're from that time period," said Brenda Kaplan, Minneapolis senior and first time attendant of the event. "You read about it in school in books, and here you can actually picture it."
The festival, which is open from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., features more
Tickets are $11.95 for adults, $5.95 for children age 5 to 12 and children younger than 5 attend free. The festival area is located off Interstate70 between Sandstone Amphitheater and the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs.
It has been listed in The American Business Journal as one of the top 100 events in North America.
than 160 artisans and employs more than 300 entertainers, including the Society for Creative Anachronism. The society has a dell off of Stubtoe Lane which features recreations of crafts, combats and social customs of the Middle Ages.
David Volmot, president of the Lawrence SCA chapter and 1994 KU graduate with a degree in medieval history, has participated in the festival for 12 years.
"It's just kind of a hobby," Volm said. "Some people go and play golf on the weekends, and I go and put on my armor and hit people with sticks."
KU group works with Downbeat magazine to improve exhibits

Students deck hall of fame
The students are working as consultants for Downbeat magazine, an international jazz publication that is building the Downbeat Jazz Hall of Fame at Universal Studios Florida. The hall of fame, which will open in 1998 as part of a $2 billion expansion, will pay tribute to musicians ranging from Louis Armstrong to Jimi Hendrix.
Six KU students soon will have a special place in the jazz hall of fame, even though they are not musicians.
The students will be examining ways to bring the exhibits to life. Five of the students are researching innovative technologies used at museums across the country in order to make a
recommendation to Downbeat and to Universal Studios. The other student, St. Louis, Mo., senior Corey Feit, is working independently with Tom Alexios, Downbeat's special projects director.
They are doing the project not only for the magazine but for a grade in their small business management class.
"It's really overwhelming to think about it, to know that you're dealing with that much money," Goss said.
Gary Goss, Tulsa, Okla, senior, said his group had begun to research museums including Cleveland's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and the University's Natural History Museum.
Most groups in the class, which is taught by Jeff Morrow, instructor in the school of business, consult smaller Lawrence businesses.
"We're just in the initial process of making contacts with people," he said.
Alexios, a Lawrence resident, said he and the magazine enjoyed working with college students who had business savvy.
He said that when companies hired students directly out of college, they expected the students to be knowledgeable about all recent technologies.
"I'm very satisfied with their performance to this point," Alexios said. "We would like to create a long-term working relationship with the University to create other opportunities for other students in years to come."
"They fully expect that the student coming out is an internet-surfing, database-crunching, spreadsheet maniac." Morrow said.
The students also are developing plans for the hall of fame's World Wide Web page.
Morrow said the project was important because it gave the students an opportunity to apply technology to their work.
The other students in the group are Brad Hoffman, Salina senior; Chad Erker, Wellington senior; Blake Papperson, Topeka senior, and Chris Fisher, Prairie Village senior.

October rings in cold season
its effects can be seen and heard in almost every classroom on campus, and chances are there's no escape. The 200-headed common-cold monster strikes the average student two to four times every year.
The common cold is considered common because it can be caused by 200 different viruses. And October marks the beginning of the cold season that lasts through early spring.
"Viruses tend to follow weather patterns, and those patterns are more prevalent in the fall and through the spring," said Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "When it gets cold, people also spend more time inside close to other people who might carry a virus."
Cold viruses are transmitted by hand and mouth contact, and even people who don't appear sick still
Not sharing drinking glasses or food utensils and washing hands regularly, especially before eating, will decrease the spread of cold viruses, Yockey said. Going out on the weekend and drinking also affects the chances of catching a cold.
may be contagious. It takes two to three days for symptoms to appear after the initial infection.
"We get the most students with colds coming in on Mondays," Yockey said. "They will go out on the weekend and suppress their immune system with alcohol and sleep deprivation."
Common cold symptoms include sneezing, coughing, fatigue, aches and sore throats. These symptoms can be relieved with a variety of over-the-counter remedies.
These medicines are not cures, though, because there is no known cure, said Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins.
"First off, you need to decide what
Sleep: Eight to 10 hours every day.
Fluids: Drink an eight-ounce glass of water every one to two hours
Gargle: Use one teaspoon of salt per glass of water to relieve scratchy or sore throat.
How to manage a cold
Humidity: Vaporizers or warm showers help to thin mucus.
Smoking: Don't smoke because cigarettes irritate mucous membranes.
Alcohol: Don't drink because it has a dehydrating effect on the body.
symptoms you need to treat," Dhrasher said. "Always read the labels, and if you aren't sure what you need, ask a pharmacist or physician. A good rule of thumb is not to assume it is safe for you."
