Cheap fun within students' reach
Inexpensive activities available in Lawrence
By Emily Redmond Kansan Staff Writer
College students are notorious for having little or no money. But in Lawrence, there are several things that students strapped for cash can do.
Clinton Lake, west of Lawrence, has activities for everyone. Students can swim at Bloomington Beach, hike and mountain bike on various trails or camp on grounds around the lake.
"we like to go camping around Clinton Lake," said Krystyn Zetmeir, Overland Park senior. "We get a fire going and grill marshmallows and drink beer."
Other student enjoy the fresh air by picnicking, sunbathing or just spending time with friends by the lake.
"Ilike to drive around and look at the scenery," said Teresa Prisinzano, Tulsa, Okla., junior. "It's a great way to get away from things for a while." Other outdoor activities that students enjoy
include going to various city parks, including Centennial Park at Ninth and Iowa streets. The park is known for its swing sets and frisbee golf course.
"We go there to play frisbee a lot," Prisinzano said. "I don't know how to play frisbee golf, and I know that I probably could play it if I did, but I have watched people play it and it looks like a lot of fun."
The sand volleyball courts, located at Robinson, also are a hot spot for the physically active. Students can bring volleyballs or obtain one from Robinson with a KUID.
"I get together with my friends to play," said Brian Schmidtberger, Topeka sophomore. "There are four courts and usually not all of them are taken."
For those students who like to spend their free time at home, renting movies from local video stores, including Hastings Books, Music and Video, 2000 W. 23rd St. Watching videos and ordering pizzas is an economical way to see the movies without leaving home.
Many video stores, including Dillons, 1015 W. 23rd Street, have free video rental memberships and reasonable prices. Dillons rents new movies

for $2.50, movies six months and older for 39
cents and video games for $1.99.
"We have a pretty good selection," said Liz Gregg, a Dillons employee. "There are a few new releases that we don't get, but lately we've gotten everything that has been released in the past six months."
Other indoor activities include watching movies at the Cinema Twin Theaters, 31st and Iowa streets, which charges only $1.25 a seat, or bowling at the Jaybowl in the Kansas Union for 90 cents to $1.25 a game, depending on the time of day.
Getty Center makes art vision a reality
$1.2 billion, 25-acre art museum to open in Malibu Roman villa
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The new Getty Center, draped in dreams, discussions and drawing boards for 13 years, is just months away from becoming a showcase as enticing as some of the artwork it will display.
"I feel impatient," said John Walsh, museum director, as he stood before the steel skeleton of what will be his new art space. "It's the most exhilarating thing in life. We started dreaming about this 13 years ago. We got to build the museum of our dreams."
Set to open in fall 1997, the Getty Center brings together all parts of the $4 billion J. Paul Getty Trust.
The museum began with $1.2 billion left by oil baron J. Paul Getty after his death in 1976. It has made its home in Malibu in a replica of a Roman villa, filled with antiquities and an acclaimed collection of European decorative arts, drawings and paintings, including Renaissance masters and post-Impressionists.
Now the center is moving into a new 25-acre complex atop a coveted piece of hillside real estate in Brentwood, framed by the Los Angeles skyline and the Pacific Ocean.
Walsh is awaiting the final phases of construction, but some of his colleagues will move into their already-finished buildings this summer.
Miguel Angel Corzo, director of the conservation institute, is moving in this month. Trust administrators and the staffs of the grant program and education institute are scheduled to follow soon after, occupying sleek panel and glass creations by architect Richard Meier.
Corzo hopes once all employees are situated, there will be more collaboration among departments now scattered throughout the city.
"The chance encounter, the conversation in the corridor, meeting for lunch — that's what sparks projects," Corzo said.
"Some people say it will become the photographic image for Los Angeles."

The center will have an auditorium, exhibit space for the research institute and a 750,000-volume library with reading areas. There will also be a central garden designed by Los Angeles artist Robert Irwin.
About 1.5 million visitors are expected annually.
Paintings in the museum's growing Impressionist and post-Impressionist collection, including Claude Monet's Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning and Vincent van Gogh's Irises, will be displayed in natural light.
Inside, walls will be lined with paintings and rooms furnished with European decorative arts. Outside, Meier abandoned his trademark white exterior to cover the complex with 200,000 cubic feet of beige stone imported from Italy.
Harold Williams, the trust's president, said that he thought the museum would be a cultural symbol for Los Angeles.
"Some people say it will become the photographic image for Los Angeles,"he said.
In addition to security, the center has built-in precautions for several natural disasters, including wildfires.
An underground reservoir holds 1 million gallons of water, a helipad will serve water-dropping helicopters and the art galleries are designed to become airtight if flames get close.
