Beer policy unpopular, but most fans comply
NEWS:864-4810
Hearty fans who braved the cold Saturday for the Kansas-Missouri football game were disgruntled about strict enforcement of a new University drinking policy on the Hill.
By Melissa Rodgers Kansan staff writer
"I think it sucks," said Kent Docking, 1982 KU graduate who was huddled with a group of shivering alumni who were tailgating for the game.
Last week the University prohibited the drinking of 3.2 beer and all alcohol on campus except for areas in the Kansas and Burge unions and for special circumstances.
The University previously had allowed drinking 3.2 beer on the Hill. Violators may be reported to the office of student affairs. People who are 21 and drink 3.2 beer on the Hill are not violating a municipal or state law, but only University policy.
Docking, pointing to two police officers standing nearby, said he had no choice but to comply with state and municipal drinking laws.
Docking and his friends had brought beer with an alcohol level of 5.0 to the game, which is a violation of municipal law and University policy.
"It is terrible (that) they are trying to be doing this for XKR," he said. "We have been doing this for XKR."
Fellow tailgater Fred Parkenfarther said that enjoying cocktails and beer in moderation before the game at a tailgate party was part of the football tradition.
Alumni and students Saturday created ways to circumvent the laws and the University drinking policy.
Eric Maki, a University of Missouri senor, said he and his friends had been approached by KU police as they were walking toward the stadium from The Wheel Cafe. 507.W 14th St.
Parkenfarther, who was drinking from a Diet Coke can, hinted that the can may have been filled with water.
Although his friends had poured out their beer as policehad instructed, Maki said he still could not resist.
About 26 KU police officers ringed the stadium area monitoring alcohol consumption and informing fans of the University's new drinking policy.
Police also were handing out cards that stated dietary drinking laws and the University policy.
"It's kind of bad, not right, to punish everyone for a few bad incidents," he said.
Lt. John Mullens, KU police representative, said that about 150 people and three kegs were on the Hill Saturday. The Kansas-Missouri county is home to 8,000 to 10,000 people to the Hill, he said.
No liquor or kegs were confiscated because everyone had complied with police requests to be able to drink.
Police cannot report the names of students who break the University's alcohol policy because they are underage.
Joe Zielinski, Kansas City, Kan, senior, sled down the Hill on his keg of 32 beer. He said that he obviously was not complying with the Uni- tion's rule that no one had approached him about the keg.

He said police were relieved by the size of the crowd, which was smaller than usual due to cold conditions and a blanket of snow on the Hill.

Tiny Tuxedo Tony went out in style Saturday.
Kansas' senior running back Tony Sands
stole the show in the Jayhawks 82-90 victory
winning the No. 1 pick for the Jets.
The 5-foot-6 Sands, in his last performance as a Jayhawk, rushed for 396 yards in 58 carries, setting NCAA records in both categories.
charged post-game interview, said: "Tony Sands is what America is all about. He was just looking for an opportunity."
After his record-crushing performance,
Sands, who broke into tears in post-game
heat, announced that he would be sidelined.
Sands said that when he came to Kansas four years ago, he knew he would have the opener.
Coach Glen Mason, in an emotionally
"I feel like I could go out there and play another game," he said. "I wanted to go out when I could."
*When somebody gives me the opportunity, I tend not to let them down.* he said.
And Sands didn't let down any of the estimated 28,000 fans at Memorial Stadium.
He racked up 297 yards by the end of the third quarter, breaking the Kansas single-game rushing record of 294.
As the fourth quarter wore on, it became apparent that Sands might break the Big Eight Conference single-game rushing batting set by Colorado's Charlie Davis in 1971.

last drive, and Marshall Faulk's NCAA single-
game rushing record came into sight. Faulk,
with 107 yards, entered into rush for 386
yards. 14 against Pacific.
Sands broke the NCAA record on his 57th attempt, a 4-yard run that gave him 389 yards for the game. Mason decided to call on Sands a time to make sure he had the record.
With Kansas leading 53-29 on its second to
"I hope one nresents the fact that I left Tony in the game." Mason said. "If he had been told to stay away, he would have gone home."
"If I'd tried to take Tony out earlier you'd have seen a coach mugged by his players. I wasn't in control down there; they were."
"This was my last time around. Earlier in the year, I would have let a younger guy go in."
Sands said that Mason asked him in the fourth quarter if he wanted to come out.
"A lot of people probably didn't 'think a little running back could even carry the ball 58 times. I'm always proving people wrong."
"I told him I wanted to stay in," Sands said.
With 20 seconds left, Mason called a timeout, and Sands left the game on the shoulders of offensive linemen Chris Perez and Keith Loneker as the crowd chanted "To-ny, Tony."
"We all have just a tremendous amount of joy and pride for Tony," Perez said. "I can't see a better ending if I had written the script myself."

Despite a turbulent beginning, Fulcher says he will never quit fighting for the presidency.
DARRENFULCHER:APROFILE
Fulcher takes on life's challenges
Ask Darren Fulcher to name his heroes, and he answers quickly: "Malcon X, Gandhi and Richard Nixon."
They might make odd dinner companions — a radical Black militant, a pacifist marshal and a shamed U.S. president. But they can fighters, and Pulcher admiries fighters.
Indeed, when he reflects on the trio, he cites only one flaw: Nixon disappointed him.
Fulcher, KU's embattled student body
president, has no plans to echo that legacy
No matter that the Student Senate has demanded his resignation or that the feminist groups who once championed him now want him out. No matter that his personal life has become fodder for gossip, as students wonder what happened that February morning when he was arrested for misdemeanor battery.
Fulcher is adamant. "I don't want to quit." he says. "I couldn't练 myself."
Fulcher has successfully resisted Sen-
tence's request for two months by ap-
pleasing the order to the court.

Meanwhile, Fulcher fights to maintain his image and credibility in the face of skepticism and scrutiny. His punishment is that he believes, because he is African-American.
An intensely private person, he has been questioned by the nation's largest newspapers and CNN. On campus, he notices that the smiles he delivers to passing students are more reserved than he no longer socializes in public because he says people stare at him and whisper.
a few miles south of Lawrence. It is one of the highest points in Douglas County.
He doesn't like heights, but he loves a challenge. He climbs the dizzying, 40-foot observation tower to gain a little peace and perspective. From there, he can look down on the red roofs of the University of Kansas — a place he once called spbil.
"KU is a microcosm of America — the good and the bad," he says. "You take a picture of KU, and you have America."
Fulcher was introduced to this place three years ago by former girlfriend Audra Glavas, also a KU student. But he had not visited the tower for months — not since his reputation as a political peacemaker was shattered in August by reports that he had grabbed Glavas by the throat and hit her in the face.
He completed court-ordered community service work and paid restitution to Glavas, so the battery charge against him was dismissed last week.
Now, after weeks of avoiding personal
