Basketball fans can bring their food donations to "Late Night in the Phog" and help restock food pantries in Lawrence. Volunteers from Lawrence's Salvation Army will be collecting donations Friday at the entrances of Allen Fieldhouse, 1651 Naismith Dr., from 8 p.m. until the doors are closed.
Salvation Army will collect food before Late Night Friday
Other organizations such as Peen House, Ballard Community Center, ECKAN Community Center and Pelathe Community Resource Center will also benefit from the food drive. Paula Gilchrist, Salvation Army social service director, asked for donors to "think outside of the can." The organization is asking for donations of cereal, crackers, peanut butter and jelly, boxed dinners or canned meat.
"We would love to have our panties stocked and ready to go," she said.
pre-holiday season. Gilchrist said. It takes about 75 boxes each for every organization to have a full pantry.
The Salvation Army sponsors this drive every year and typically will collect enough food to last through the
This is a major drive that the five agencies depend on, she said. The last big food drive was in August and the pantries are always low by October, Gilchrist said.
Volunteers for the drive are still needed. To volunteer to collect food call the Salvation Army at 843-4188 or just show up to the game early. Volunteers will arrive at 7:30 p.m. at the east side entrance of Allen Fieldhouse.

The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas is serving up pizza with its politics.
Luncheon at Dole Institute to host campaign manager
Pizza and Politics will be today at noon in the Centennial Room on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union. Pizza and beverages are on us, said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute.
Pizza and Politics is another way he is trying to get students involved with politics and the institute.
Julie Merz, campaign manager for Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) will be the guest speaker at the luncheon. Merz, 2001 KU graduate, will speak on "running a campaign targeted by both national parties."
There are about 435 House of Representatives races across the country and 400 of those races are automatic in the sense that people are already decided on whether they will vote Republican or Democrat, she said. The other 35 races can go either way and usually involve the most campaign money and competition. These races have to target voters from both parties.
Bipartisanship is important, Merz said. Politics have become so polarized, but most legislative solutions come from the middle where both sides of the spectrum come together to make a decision. She said this was a way that she could share with students how she's done what she's done.
Merz is someone students can relate to and may see themselves doing
what she's doing three or four years from now, Lacy said.
