SMOKING BAN: Sales same

"If this was asbestos, we wouldn't be having this discussion." Fox said.
But Phil Bradley, executive director for the Kansas Licensed Beverage Association, disagrees.
in sociology.
If there's no effect from the smoking ban, then the numbers should continue on a growth curve and be at least 8 percent as
Lawrence's population and bars increased in 2004, and tax revenue numbers should reflect that, Bradley said. There was "a dramatic and significant decrease" in the number of drinks sold in relation to the increase of bars and people, he said.
in 2003, Bradley said.
The price of drinks has not increased in every bar and restaurant, but it has increased in
enough places, Bradley said. The amount of tax collected on alcohol should be more, because drinks are more expensive, Bradley said.
Some business owners such as Cheryl Bowman, owner of Astro's, 601 Kasold Drive, have lowered the prices of drinks to compete with other bars.
Astro's sales have decreased 24 percent or about $10,000, since the smoking ban. Astro's has been in business for 15
Bowman said her bar was not the only one suffering because of the smoking ban.

Conroy said another company, which he wouldn't name, was looking into taking over Crown Amusement.

gram to bring more healthful food choices to students. Mucci said students say they always want the most healthful choice.
Mark Nola, Wichita senior, said he ate at The Underground twice a week.
"I sure think the food is unhealthy," he said as he ate a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut topped with parmesan cheese.
Myers said business for the Market at the Kansas Union business at the Kansas Union had dropped 15 to 20 percent since The Underground opened.
"We're shifting money around,
not taking money away," he said.
Mucci said any money The Underground made would go to paying back the more than $2 million price tag for the renovation. Profits also go back into paying for maintenance for the unions.
The Underground has had its share of problems. The credit card machines at The Underground take 30 seconds to process, which creates longer lines, said Mike Reid, director of business and information services for KU Memorial Unions. The Underground was supposed to have credit card machines that took one to three seconds to process, but up-to-par software won't be available until next
semester. Reid said.
The Underground's floor has also been a source of complaints. Myers said. He said the floor had cracked, buckled and collapsed in places. He said he didn't know why it was happening, but he was working with the food court's architects to correct the problem. He said construction crews needed at least a week to make repairs, so they would have to wait until Thanksgiving break or winter break.
Although major construction is complete, The Underground may undergo changes in the future.
"It's going to take us six months to figure out what's working and what isn't," Mucci said.
Myers said the Underground would have outdoor seating next
year, because he didn't think it would fit into this year's budget.
Extended hours for the Underground will not be considered this year, Myers said.
He said he wasn't going to consider any menu changes until later, either. The Underground administrators will research buying habits and listen to customer comments to find out how to improve The Underground, he said. Mucci said future students had to be considered. Because students who are in junior high school now would be at the University in about five years. Underground administrators had to think about what they wanted.
"Taste and sensibilities change so fast anymore," Mucci said.

America and Russian soup, bread and salad. The food will have a more homey and traditional flavor, unlike the food that you get in restaurants, Banerjee said. Zafar will be preparing some of the deserts for the dinner. Her desserts will be traditional American dishes, such as cookies and brownies, but America is international too, Banerjee said.
Fighting in west Sudan broke out in February 2003. Ethnic and political conflict in Darfur has displaced 1.6 million people, according to the Associated Press. UNICEF is working with other aid agencies to provide desperately needed food, shelter, water and sanitation for children and families living in overcrowded, makeshift refuge camps, Banorie said.
The International dinner,
which is an annual event, will be
at 6 p.m. today in the First
Presbyterian Church, 2415
Clinton Parkway. Donations for
the event are $8 and $5 for children
6 years old and younger.
The group has already sold 35
tickets for the event. Last year
an estimated 80 people donated
and joined the international
dinner. Last year the group sold less
than 10 tickets before the event.
The student group, made of members from all over the world studying at the University of Kansas, coordinated three main fundraisers for the semester.
Most of the food for the dinner will be prepared by students and will include chicken curry, pulao, chickpea curry and rice pudding from India; enchiladas and quessillo from South
The group's goal is to raise more than $1,000 from the event. An auction at the dinner will also help to raise funds. People from the Lawrence community have donated items that will be auctioned off tonight. There has been an overwhelming response by the community.
Banerjee said.
Other fundraisers this year have shown success already. The group had a goal of $1,000 for its online campaign as well and has already raised $530. In October the fundraiser Trick-or-Treat, where group members and volunteers from local elementary schools took orange boxes with them for donations while they trick or-treating. The event raised more than $400.
The next fundraiser will be in December selling greeting cards. The cards will have an international and multi-religious theme will be sold before finals week at the lobby in the Kansas Union.
