Student group eyes national convention Student Alumni Association to bid for 1990 meeting of 350 campuses
by Scott Achelpohl Kansan staff writer
KU's Student Alumni Association hopes to play host to the annual national student alumni convention in 1990.
The group will bid for the convention when it attends this year's convention in Greenwich N.C., in September. The campaign adviser to the association.
"Until we find out how much this is going to cost us, it still in the tentative planning stages," Ruedelinanger said. "The bid is going to be a big undertaking for us. We are at a disadvantage. We're only three years old. Other organizations like us are up to 20 years old."
Ruedlinger said tentative plans were to accommodate 800 students at the proposed 1990 convention.
"We have to arrange housing for the visiting students and their transportation from the airport," she said. "We are also talking about seminars, special classes and conferences for the visiting students from other student alumni groups."
"Anytime you're bidding for a convention at KU, you're selling the University of Kansas. We are planning to take 20 students. Some of those students may have to come up with some extra funds to make the trip."
11 p. There are practical reasons for the association's effort to host the 1990 convention, Ruedelinger said.
"We feel it's time for it to come back to the heart of the country," she said. "The cost to students would be less because air fare would be lower
to this part of the country. A lot of students could drive to the convention as well."
She said conventions linked past, present and future KU alumni and kept communication going among the 350 student alumni associations at other colleges and universities throughout the nation.

Laura Graham, vice president of the association, said a KU convention would bring attention to the group.
"We are concerned with keeping our membership up," said Graham, Wichita junior. "We hope to have the backing of the University. I really think we have a good shot to get the 1990 campaign and can get together for the trip in September. We'll all putting a lot of time into it."
Megan Hughes, membership co-director of the association, said the conventions were directed at leadership and were ways for students from other universities to become acquainted with KU.
admission is a hard KU has an edge over other universities competing for the convention, she said.
"People are going to lean towards coming some place different in 1990," said Hughes, Lawrence senior. "We're going to move on the coast the last few years."

Ruedlinger said the words student and alumni were a contradiction in terms to many students.
"You don't have to be a graduate of KU to be alumni." Ruedinger said. "Even if you only attended KU for one semester, you are considered alumni."
Minnesota students invent easy chopsticks, 'gnat hat'
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — There was, of course, a better mouse trap. But also featured were a gnat-combating hat, a parent alarm and a special set of chopsick for those who find it tough to get a grip.
The Associated Press
The creations were among 199 entries Wednesday at the Minnesota Student Inventors Congress fair where finalists were picked for this summer's statewide competition.
Sixth-grader Steph Anderson's "Easy Chopsticks" invention was one of 12 picked to advance to the statewide Minnesota Inventors Congress.
Gnats irritate fifth-grader Lesie Northam. "They just bug me a lot," she said.
So Leslie, 10, invented a "gnat hat" — a baseball cap featuring a glove attached vertically to its top.
