The club will march at 4 p.m. tomorrow from the Student Fitness Recreation Center to Memorial A lower drinking age inspires march before football game Stadium. The drinking age in Kansas was 18 from 1937 to 1985 before it was raised to 21. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2004 Stadium. The club started in May and has about 300 members. The march before the homecoming game is the club's first event. "You can get sent to Iraq, but you can't even have a glass of wine at your own wedding," said Jared Loehr, president for the club. People sometimes lose a sense of moderation when they come to college, said Loehr, Overland Park sophomore. Changing the drinking age to 18 might allow people to grow into drinking responsibly, he said. Loehr said the club was looking for sympathetic representatives and senators who would go to a higher court to get the legal drinking age lowered. Every state that wants to receive federal funding for transportation must set the legal drinking age at 18, said David Cortiss, administrative legal services director for the city of Lawrence. Loehr said the club wanted to get people to lobby during January, February and March to help lower the age. The KU Public Safety Office had no comment on lowering the age. Capt. Schuyler Bailey said the office would enforce whatever is made law. Stephanie Farley CORRECTION Yesterday's Jayplay contained an error.
