Renovations get Jaybowl bowling team rolling
Jaybowl staff and fans are up for a new year of bowling.Inspired by coming renovations and the success of last season's University of Kansas bowling team.
This fall, the recreational bowling area has increased the sections of bowling classes from 10 in the spring semester to 13 and has bought new video games, pinball machines and new camping equipment available for rent, said Mike Fine, Jaybowl manager and bowling coach.
The renovations — coming this spring — will include new lanes, more billiards tables, a snack bar and a live music venue for about 150 people.
The bowling team, which placed ninth in the national competition last year, has its first round of qualifying games Sunday.
Scott Light, Wichita Junior, said he transferred to the University to combine his interest in bowling with a graphic design major.
"KU is coming all the way," Light said. "It's getting real competitive."
The no-alcohol policy, which started in the Jaybowl last November, had a small effect on the traffic there. Fine said.
"Some people, probably, don't come here as much any more." Fine said. "But others like coming here exactly because of the alcohol- and smoke-free environment."
A bowling game costs $1.25 in the afternoon and $1.50 in the evening, down from the commercial price of $2.95 for adults. The shoe rental price is 35 cents, down from $1.50.

CLAS offering six choices for minors; may add more
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences already can take part in the new minors offered this semester.
After receiving approval from the College Assembly, the governing body in the college, six minors were approved last spring and now are in full swing.
Pam Houston, director of the college's undergraduate office, said students could minor in philosophy, anthropology, east Asian language and culture, linguistics, Italian and sociology.
"It's exciting because students can get them right now," she said.
"There aren't a lot of specifics either for the minors."
Houston said most of the minors' requirements include taking only a certain number of credit hours, nor
mally 18 to 24.
Seven more minors will go before the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising next week. History, English, French, mathematics, physics, astronomy and atmospheric science are among those being considered.
"I would assume that most, if not all could be approved in October," she said. "Then they would be available for students to complete as soon as they are approved."
If the committee approves the minors next week, they will go before the College Assembly meeting Oct. 5.

U.S. warplanes attack Iraqi sites; 11 injured
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. warplanes bombed areas in northern and southern Iraq yesterday in attacks that left 11 people injured, the Iraqi armed forces said.
The U.S. military said its planes attacked air defense sites, while the Iraqi military said the planes attacked civilian and service installations, according to the official Iraqi News Agency.
In a statement issued by its European Command in Germany, the U.S. military said its planes dropped precision-guided bombs on a missile site near Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad, after coming under fire while patrolling the no-fly zone.
The U.S. Central Command in Saudi Arabia said American and British aircraft also bombed air defense sites in southern Iraq near the cities of Talili, Basra and As Samawah. All aircraft returned safely to base, the U.S. military statements said
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has urged his commanders to step up their attacks on allied planes patrolling the no-fly zones, state-run newspapers reported this week.
The Iraqi armed forces said 11 people were wounded in the southern attacks. It made no mention of casualties in the north.
The zones were set up by the allied powers after the 1991 Gulf War. Iraq regards the zones as violations of international law and has been challenging the allied planes since December.

Kansas Union director caters to students' tastes
By Mindie Miller
Robert Pierrelee jumped onto a moving train when he became director of catering at the Kansas Union in July.
Special to the Kansan
When Adams Alumni Center gave up its food service operation in the Learned Club this summer as part of a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service, Union catering became the sole vendor for catering on campus.
"We do hundreds of events every week," Pierrelee said.
But Pierrelee is no stranger to the pressures that often accompany the food service business. He has worked in food service at racetracks, hotels and casinos for the past 20 years. For all of his experience, though, Pierrelee said that there was never a typical day in the business.
"You leave a lot of unstructured time for unexpected things." Pierreelee said.
He also said that catering services depends on student help to manage its heavy workload. The "Cash Caterers" program is designed for students who want to pick up
quick cash.
"It's real attractive because you get paid so quickly." Pierrelee said. "You can work on a Wednesday and get paid on Friday in time to go out. It's instant gratification."
Besides student help, he said that he inherited a wonderful staff when he took the job as catering director.
"My biggest contribution is to get out of the way of the creative people and let them do what they know how to do." he said.
Catering staff member Ellen Green praised Pierrelee.
Jay Glatz, manager of food services, said Pierreee was doing a great job.
"He has brought with him some fresh ideas and a really common-sense approach to a lot of things that needed to be updated," she said.
"The catering director is a very complex position because there are so many details to worry about," he said. "He's digging in and getting to know not just our operations, but the whole campus. I couldn't be more pleased with him."
