Spencer Lawrenz, who will be a KU freshman in the fall, said he would be enjoying a break in Daytona Beach. Fla., Lawrenz, works 40 hours each week for the Smoke House, 719 Massachusetts St., said that the trip would be a needed break.
Lara Bowen will trade in pushing paper, making copies and counting change, for sun and relaxation in Florida during Spring Break.
Bowen, Overland Park senior and a part-time employee at Kinko's Copies, 2024 W. 23rd St., said she asked for the week off a day to make sure she would get the vacation.
"I'm going to see some friends of mine," he said. "I'll be there from Friday to Friday."
"It's going to be rough for those who have to stay here and work," Lawrenz said. "It's a break that I need, but I'm going to be more than $30 in pay since I'm on the trip."
While most of the people at the University of Kansas leave the Lawrence area during Spring Break, the jobs they leave behind in some cases cause a shortage of workers.
Dave Burke, manager of Pizza Hut, 804 Iowa St., said that Spring break would be a great time.
Rusty Mather, manager of the Smoke House, said that Spring Break would not pose a problem for the restaurant.
"About half of the students want to go somewhere over the break, and the other half want to work extra to gain the extra cash," Mather said.

"I've never been one to tell a student they couldn't go on Spring Break." Butler said. "What we do is allow the students who can stay to work more hours if they want. We keep a balance of full-time employees and part-time employees." Butler said we can use our full-time employees more."
Gary Duda, owner of Duds "N Suds Laundry, 918 Mississippi St., said that almost all of his employees were students. Duda said that his business would be open during Spring time and he hoped the company to take over many customers with few too employees.
"I'll be open as usual," Duda said. "I will have less employees working for me, but I'll also have less business. The ones who want to work can, and if they have other plans, that's fine also. I can always work if we have a shortage."
Duda said that since his main customers were students, he did not think a problem
