Cheap drinks spell more business
Taverns, clubs rely on weekly specials to draw in students
By Erin Rooney
Kansan staff writer
Shane Popp, Lyons senior, doesn't start class until 1 p.m. on Wednesday. That opportunity to sleep in means that he often goes to the Jazzzaus on Tuesday nights to take advantage of the drink specials.
The Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St. is just one of several local bars offering weeknight drink specials to attract patrons.
Popp and his friends choose the Jazzhaus on Tuesdays because of $1.50 drinks and a $2 cover charge.
"We usually go out in groups of two or three," Popp said. "It's not the usual group we go out with on a Friday or Saturday because people have commitments with classes. I like it because the bars aren't usually as crowded."
Jeremy Reed, Naperville, Ill., senior and bartender at The Wagon Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th St., said that the number of people in the bar was affected by The Wheel's drink specials and by other bars' specials.
"I think the nights that we have $2 big beers we have a decent crowd, a bigger

"Some places have specials, and you can usually have a good time for $10 or less," he said. "I look for drink specials basically because I don't have a lot of money to go out and spend $20 or $30 each night."

KU students have had the opportunity to see movies, concerts, fine arts exhibits, speakers and participate in recreational activities since 1938 because of Student Union Activities.
SUA is a 300-member, not-for-profit organization that focuses on providing special programs for students.
- The spectrum and feature films committees provide cult, classical, foreign and blockbuster films. Spectrum films play on weeknights with feature films on weekends, said Gretchen Hedrick, Manhattan senior and spectrum film committee coordinator.
Rieley Scott, Wichita senior and president of SUA, said that SUA's seven committees have worked to bring quality activities to campus.
The fine arts committee coordinates the exhibits in the Kansas Union Gallery. Committee coordinator Shannon Hart, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said an upcoming exhibit would feature cartoon drawings related to AIDS topics.
The forum committee brings speakers to provide information and raise awareness on timely topics. Bobby Seale, a founding member of the Black Panthers, is scheduled for this semester.
The live music committee
recruits local, regional and national music groups and individuals. This committee is recognized for their spring Day on the Hill concert.
The recreation and travel committee sponsors trips and activities. Discount tickets to area haunted houses are available. College Bowl, KU's version of the television show Jeopardy, is scheduled for Oct. 26. Five-person teams can participate by paying a $25 fee.

REVIEW

Kansan staff writer
2 days in the valley good,but it lacks Pulp
Judging a new movie against Pulp Fiction is similar to comparing a rookie shooting guard to Michael Jordan. It's not a fair comparison, yet it's one you can't help but make.
All great art has its imitators,
Quentin Tarantino's 1994 masterpiece has become the measuring bar for movie-makers and movie-goers, and, well, let's just say no one looks good when Jordan's dunking all over him.
and 2 days in the valley, newcomer John Herzfeld's stylish crime film, has all the pieces: a great cast, memorable characters, witty, realistic dialogue and Tarantino-esque intertwining tales of crime, lust and money.
But it is just not *Pulp Fiction*. However, that doesn't mean it's not an entertaining two hours.
2 days in the valley stars James Spader as a hit man who's so cold and detached he pulls out a stopwatch to give his victims a minute of sheer terror before offing them. Danny Aiello plays Dosmo, his
dog-fearing, washed-up partner and owner of the most obvious toupee in Southern California.
The scantily-clad Teri Hatcher portrays an Olympic skier who gets caught in the messy web of the L.A. crime underworld after her ex-husband, played by *Thirty-something's Peter Horton*, is murdered.
Eric Stoltz and Jeff Daniels play hilariously feuding policemen who accidentally stumble onto the murder scene.
There are plenty of plot twists, gunshots and momentous quotes.
Unfortunately, the film's first hour features a series of brief character sketches, which prove more engaging than the actual confrontations between the characters and the resolution of Herzfeld's confusing plot. The movie's fresh, quick dialogue gives way to a whole load of crime-movie cliches once the
Throw in an excruciating kidney stone and the best cat-fight in Hollywood history, between Hatcher and Spader's calculating girlfriend, Charlize Theron, and you've got a movie worth seeing.
characters' lives begin to merge. Then 2 days in the valley may as well be a Jean-Claude Van Damme picture.
This entertaining movie will be forgotten quickly because it adds nothing new to its genre. It brought upon itself the obvious Pulp Fiction comparisons by resembling Tarantino's film so closely in tone, characterizations and humor.
It's all right to be influenced by great art, but if you trace a Van Gogh with a pencil, it's not a Van Gogh anymore.
Students don't enjoy being lied to, but they confess to telling lies themselves every day.
By Megan Jordan Kansan staff writer
Good intentions may not excuse even white lies
"If it's going to hurt the person, sometimes it's better to lie," said Meagan Leah, Salina freshman.
Chris Segrin, associate professor of communication studies, said that Leah's opinion reflected accurately the feelings of many students.
"There are certain things we just don't need to know," Segin said.
Although society values honesty, he said, most people do not seem to have a problem with white lies. For example, if a friend asks if he or she looks overweight, few students would say yes.
area between honesty and deception. Every day people tell lies of omission in which they don't give false information, but they simply fail to lay all of their cards on the table.
Jim Kreider, clinical social worker for Counseling and Psychological Services, said there was a gray
When faced with the decision to lie or to be honest, K re i d e r encouraged students to tell the truth
"They always find out. It might not be now; it might be two years from now. You always get caught." Mike Tarrant freshman
— even if the truth hurts.
"Lying basically erodes a relationship in several directions," he said. "First of all, lying destroys trust. Also, if they are laying, they are not really putting what they think and feel into a relationship."
Students agreed that lying to friends and dating partners seriously could damage those relationships.
Mike Tarrant, Rose Hill freshman, said that lies could spell the end of a relationship because it was too difficult to spend time with someone he couldn't trust.
"If they lie to me now, I figure they will lie in the future." Targart said.
Kreider said that these feelings of guilt could measure how important someone is to you.
Leah said she tried to tell the truth not only because she feared the consequences of lying but also because she felt guilty being dishonest.
"The more you are interested in a relationship, on one hand it's harder to be honest, but most people feel guiltier about lying to someone they care about," he said.
Tarrant said getting caught in a lie was something to consider before being dishonest.
Hopes for self gain or the need to protect an image are some of the main reasons for lying, Segrin said.
"They always find out," he said. "It might not be now; it might be two years from now. You always get caught."
Students admitted that they were more likely to lie to authority figures like managers at work or professors.
"I don't know them as well as my friends and family," Tarrant said. "And when the semester is over, I won't see them again."
Despite their tendency to lie, students and faculty alike agreed that people basically were honest at heart.
"People try to be honest and intend to be honest," Kreider said. "They just have different views of being honest."
