AURH loses money with low shirt sales
Last summer the Association of University Residence Halls ordered 1,500 Hug-a-Hawk T-shirts to sell to raise funds for the annual AURH sponsored Hug-a-Hawk party.
But 800 to 1,000 of those red-and-white T-shirts never left the AURH office. Five boxes of unsold shirts have cost AURH about $5,000, Drew Blossom, president of AURH, said yesterday.
Blossom said AURH ordered shirts every summer to raise money for the party. A week before the fall party, about 500 shirts were sold to students in the residence halls for $6 each.
Now AURH is selling the shirts to students for $1 each in an attempt to replace some of the lost revenue in the programming account, he said.
This year the shirts were designed with a Coca-Cola logo on the front and two Jayhawks hugging on the back.
"We designed the shirts with the intention of having them white with a red logo," he said. "But Coke reversed the colors."

KU student to study in Hong Kong

From staff and wire reports.
The office of study abroad will extend its boundaries when the University of Kansas will have for the first time a student studying in Hong Kong as part of the International Student Exchange Program.
Staff writer
Amy Raymond, St. Louis sophomore, was accepted two weeks ago to attend the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is to leave either at the beginning of the summer or in the fall and will stay for a year.
To be the first student representing KU in Hong Kong is a great feeling, Raymond said yesterday.
"It's exciting being the first KU student to do something different," she said.
"Placement in Hong Kong is very, very competitive," Perkins said. "There have been far more students apply to go there than for them to come and study here."
According to Janis Perkins, KU's coordinator of ISEP, there is a very high demand by U.S. students to study in Hong Kong.
Before ISEP came to KU, the university did not have an exchange program with any Hong Kong university, so no KU students went there.
Through ISEP, universities do not directly swap students, as is the case in other exchange
grams because there is not a direct tie between two universities. Students from member universities may attend any other member university if they meet acceptance requirements.
Her main area of study at the Chinese University, which has about 6,000 students, will be art, with an emphasis on Chinese ceramics. The Chinese have a long tradition of excellence in ceramics, Raymond said.
"I've never been out of the country," she said. "I think the people are going to be very friendly though."
is taking life drawing, painting and glass blowing at KU.
ISEP is a worldwide network of universities formed at Georgetown University in 1980. KU joined the program in 1981.
Raymond's trip to Hong Kong will be her first time outside of the United States.
KU has sent about 20 or 30 students abroad each of the past few years as part of ISEP, Perkins said. The students pay fees to their home university and travel almost anywhere in the world. The only additional costs are personal and travel expenses.
ISEP is different from other exchange pro-

KU students in the program must have at least a 2.5 grade point average, must demonstrate proficiency in the language of the country where they are going, and must have attended KU for at least one year.
Raymond said the Chinese University appealed to her because English was the dominant language spoken there.
Historic site acquired by local paper
Staff writer
By Juli Warren
The metal-covered building at 608 Massachusetts St. may be torn down to make way for storage space at the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, Dolph Simons Jr., president of the World Co. said yesterday.
The World Co. bought the property Tuesday, Simons said. The company also owns the Journal-World, 609 New Hammis St.
But, he said, The Swap Shop, which occupies the building on the property, has a lease until next spring.
The owner of the shop, Floy Standard, would not confirm the date of his arrival.
The shop is also in a precarious position because it is in the footprint
Herrick, Feinstein of Overland Park now is studying a two-and-a-half-block area downtown bounded by Sixth, Kentucky and Seventh streets and the alley just west of New Hampshire street to determine whether it is slum and blight.
Eric Strauss, who is project manager of the study, said that if a new building was built before the beginning of June — the end of the study — it would make the property definitely non-blighted.
A majority of the property in most of the blocks must be blighted before the entire footprint is declared blighted he said.
The decision on whether to construct at the site will not be based on the status of the downtown mall proposal, Simons said.
Simons said the property was purchased for newsprint storage space, room for expansion and because of its adjacency to the railroad tracks.
"We've been trying to acquire it for 15 years," he said.
If the mall is not built, Simons said, the company may want to connect the Journal-World building and the proposed building across the alley.
Walnut timbers inside made it strong enough to be filled with sacks of grain, he said.
Standard said her business had occuired the building for five years.
The business is now for sale, she said, but not because of the purchase.
"It is the last building south of the river that is a reminder of our agricultural heritage." Kershenbaum said.
When that building was destroyed by fire about 1900, the milling company needed a quick replacement and had the moving moved, he said.
According to a popular story, the building was dismantled from its former site in Jefferson County, floated down the river and reassembled at its present location.
Many in Lawrence, including Standard, say the building has a significant history.
Richard Kershenbaum, a member of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance board of directors, said the story claimed that a Lawrence milling company occupied a stone building at the site in the late 1800s.

Three arraigned in Audio theft
By a Kansan reporter
Three Lawrence men were arraigned yesterday in connection with last week's theft of more than $23,000 from the Andie-Reader Network.
Jeffery Pontius, 19, 603 Saratoga Place, was charged with theft, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Michael Mallonee. 20, also of 603
Saratoga Place, was charged with one count of burglary, one count of theft, one count of marijuana possession and possession of paraphernalia.
John E. Helms, 21, of 1908 E. 19th St., was charged with three counts of burglary, three counts of theft and possession of stolen property.
The Audio-Reader theft occurred March 26 or early March 27.
Helms was charged in connection
with the Audio-Reader theft as well as two other burglaries.
He was charged in connection to the theft of two shotguns from the Trader's Pawn Shop, 822 Massachusetts St., on Feb. 22. He also was charged in connection with a March 26 burglary at Haworth Hall in which a computer keyboard was stolen.
All of the equipment stolen from the Audio-Reader as well as two
shotguns and a computer keyboard were recovered.
Both Pontius and Mallone were released on personal recognizance bonds of $2,500. Preliminary hearings are scheduled for May in Shepherd, associate district judge.
Shepherd refused to release Helms on a personal recognizance bond. Shepherd set bond at $5,000 and set a preliminary hearing April 7 for Helms.
Legislator fears rush of trivial bills
Turtle needs signature to be official
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The ornate box turtle is a signature away from becoming the state reptile.
The Senate yesterday passed, 33-7,
and sent to Gov. John Carlin, a house
bill that makes the ornate box tortue,
or Terrapene ornata, Agassiz, the
official state reptile despite complaints
that the act encourages people to petition the Legislature for trivial laws.

and wild native sunflower (flower) as officially designated state objects.
Students from Caldwell Elementary School in Caldwell lobbied intensely for passage of the turtle bill as a project to help celebrate the 125th anniversary of the state's admission to the Union.
If Carlin signs the bill, the turtle will join the honeybee (insect). American buffalo (animal), western meadowlark (bird), cottonwood (tree), "Home on the Range" (song)
However, not everyone appreciated their effort.
"The kids from Caldwell earned an 'A' for effort," said Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita. "I just wish they had spent more of their time learning the legislative process."
Morris said that hundreds of worthy reptiles could be accorded this honor and that legislative acquiescence to the students' demand would only encourage other groups.
