SUA provides student getaway
By Gwen Olson Kansan staff writer
Students who want to get away from it all for an hour or even a week can turn to Student Union Activities
SUA provides activities for all students at the University of Kansas, including movies, concerts and trips.
Jason Fisell, SUA promotions director, said a canoe trip in southern Missouri was planned for Sept. 1 through 3 as well as a trip to Las Vegas Oct. 20 through 22.
"The trips are sponsored through the Rec. and Travel Committee," Fisell said. "We will hold informational meetings about the trips when the fall semester begins."
The cost for the canoe trip is $55 for KU students and $60 for non-students. This cost includes food, canoe rental and camping facilities for two nights. Reservations for the canoe trip began July 17 at the SUA office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
The Las Vegas trip costs $260 for KU students and $270 for non-students. The cost includes round-trip airfare and two nights at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. Reservations for the Las Vegas trip began yesterday.
For getaways closer to Lawrence, the Recreation and Travel Committee sells Kansas City Chiefs tickets to students. Regular season tickets will go on sale Aug. 24, and each student is limited to two tickets for the season.
Films, shown throughout the year on varying nights, are another part of SUA's entertainment.
"Films are one of our biggest things," Fisell said. Movie cards,

office.
SUA provides these events with money from the Union Memorial Corporation Board, the organization that runs the bookstore and food concessions in the Union.
"We also receive money from Student Senate and the Association of University Resident Housing for special events such as Day on the Hill," Fitsall said. SUA also keeps any profit made during an event.
SUA also holds lectures each year.
Last year, author Kurt Vonnegut was one lecturer that SUA sponsored.
Concerts also are sponsored by SUA. Concerts in the past have included Pearl Jam, Tori Amos, Lucius Jackson and Bob Dylan.
"We also hold several gallery exhibits throughout the year," Fisell said. "These exhibits take place at each of the KU museums."
All students are encouraged to volunteer for SUA. It has several different event-planning committees that students can be a part of.
"We have about 150 to 200 new students at SUA each year," said Jamie Plesser, SUA president. "We have noticed that there is quite a bit of interest from new students that we talked to during new-student orientation."
Recruitment details will be announced at the start of the fall semester through fliers and newspapers advertisements.
New students will get their first look at SUA in action during Hawk Week.
"We are sponsoring Beach-n-Boulevard, Movie on the Hill and possibly a back-to-school concert," Plesser said. "I think we're looking most forward to welcoming returning and new students to KU."

"ER," NBC's pulse-pounding ride through a big-city hospital, took a leading 20 prime-time Emmy nominations, including best drama and the nomination of its entire starring cast.
LOS ANGELES - Trends in television viewing can be studied in this year's 47th Annual Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
The network did have the second-nominated program in "NYPD Blue," which received 12 bids including best drama. Last year, the police drama had a record 26 nominations.

ABC, last season's top-rated network, received an embarrassing 39 nominations July 20, one of the poorest showings ever for a major network. ABC also saw its most popular series, "Home Improvement," shut out of the top categories.

"ER." "Frasier" and the new comedy "Friends" fueled an NBC surge that gave the network 85 nominations, tying it with CBS for the network lead.
Cable channel Home Box Office (HBO), amassing a growing number of nominations each year for its critically acclaimed series, specials and movies, surpassed ABC with 48.
PBS, Fox and Turner Network Television each had 17 nominations.
The Emmy Awards will be broadcast Sept. 10 from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium by Fox Broadcasting Co. A ceremony will be held the day before to present awards in technical categories.
The nod for Fox's cult-hit "The X-Files" was an unusual acknowledgment of a drama despite being in the thriller-science fiction genre. It was the Golden Globe best drama winner in January.

porting acting categories.
Outstanding drama nominees besides "ER" and "NYPD Blue" were CBS' "Chicago Hope," NBC's "Law & Order" and Fox's "The X-Files."
"Chicago Hope," which competed with and was vanquished by higher-rated "ER" on Thursday nights, also trailed in the Emmy contest with eight.
"The best drama nomination was a huge surprise to me and I wasn't prepared. I was floored actually," said Chris Carter, series creator and executive producer.
"ER" actors Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Sherry Stringfield, Eriq La Salle, Noah Wyle and Julanna Margulies all were nominated in either lead or sup-
Among comedies, "Frasier" received the most bids with 10, followed by freshman-sitcom hit "Friends" with eight. Also nominated were HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show" and NBC's "Mad About You" and "Seinfeld."

ABC's popular "Home Improvement," a best comedy series nominee last year, didn't make the cut Thursday. Star Tim Allen, who missed the nominating deadline last year because of a staff error, was snubbed this time by colleagues.
Also among leading nominees for this year's awards was "Barbra Streisand The Concert." The HBO version of Streisand's musical comeback tour was nominated 10 times.
