KU team loses final round in Regional College Bowl
Special to the Kansan
Rv NOFL GERDES
Time ran out Saturday for KU's Onan's Angles during the Regional College Bowl Tournament. Onan's Angles lost to Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., in the final match of the double-elimination tournament.
About 75 people attended the tournament at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee. Okla. The winning goes to the national tournament.
The College Bowl Tournament is a national question and answer contest sponsored by the Association of College Unions International.
The game is played two teams at a time, in two seven-minute halves. The teams race to answer a toss-up question worth 10 points. If that question is answered correctly, the team gets more points with a bonus question.
James Mamalis, Prairie Village junior, said Washington won by a few points in the team's first match. But after Oonan's Angels defeated everyone in the losers' bracket, Washington beat the Angels by a larger margin in the final match.
The other teams were from Oklahoma University, Rose State College, Northern University of Oklahoma, Eastern University of Oklahoma, Central State University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Baptist University, Central Mississippi State University and Central Missouri State University.
Richard Turk, Overland Park junior, said he thought one of the reasons KU lost was that the members were younger than Washington's team members. Washington's team had at least one graduate student, while KU's team members were all undergraduates.
Turk said Onan's Angels beat Washington in last year's regional games, when both teams were composed of undergraduates. Onan's event to a sectional competition and lost to the University of Wisconsin.
"We also got the impression that they practiced being quick," Turk said.
He said Washington seemed to take the tournament more seriously than they did.
"But that's not what we do." Turk said "We just do it for fun."

Some of Mary Lou Scheckel's friends think she'll make her first million by the time she's 25.
But in the meantime, she's not waiting around for those millions to fall in her lap. Along with being a full-time student, she's working to build her own small business, ISC Grocery Express.

Her boyfriend's dislike of grocery shopping inspired the idea for Grocery Express. She thought that if she could shop for him, she could do it for other people who hated it, or for those who couldn't get to the store.
The Grocery Express, a grocery shopping service with free delivery, was an idea Scheckel, Garnett sophmore, came up with last semester and put to use at the beginning of this semester.

Grocery Express doesn't shop just at grocery stores but also has its own stock to offer customers.
With overhead so low, Grocery Express can deliver groceries throughout Lawrence at no extra charge.
"I've always enjoyed grocery shopping and thought it might be a way I could support myself through school," said Scheckel, who rents a one-bedroom apartment that serves as a warehouse.
The key to the service is bulk buying and low overhead, Scheckel said. By purchasing large quantities from wholesalers and grocery stores, she can increase the grocery stores ask. And she gets free labor from her boyfriend.
Customers also can tell Scheckel if they have a store preference or know of a product on sale somewhere. You'll find them on her customers to get the best buys.
Customers phone into an answering machine to place their orders. They give their membership number, and then they want by brand, size and quantity

Scheckel's boyfriend, who was a computer science major at KU, has helped her by computerizing the business and making her record keeping easier. Because he already had his own computer, she said she saved a lot in her initial investment.
The service also offers an "Under-A-Buck" special each week. Scheelck chooses a product not to mark up for one week. For example, last week they offered a 12-ounce box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes for 40 cents. The product regularly costs about $1.15 in the grocery stores.

Scheckel said parents who didn't want to argue with their children about candy and gum could avoid the hassle by using her service. Another customer had just gotten out of the hospital and used the service because she couldn't get out to the store.
Susan J. Noakes, director of women's studies, has used the service. Noakes said she thought the service was helpful and everything it was described to be

"I get a lot more satisfaction out of
that than some fast food job," she said.
Entrepreneurship is nothing new to Scheckel, who has run a fireworks stand in her hometown since she was 10. The stand, which is open from June 27 to July 5, grossed more than $2,000 in the summer.
"It's very helpful to working parents," she said.
She said she made money because she didn't go after the huge markings.
"The suggested prices are crazy," she said.

She said everyone knew how a job could conflict with social life, and running a business was no different, especially when it was her own. She would have a date, but if a delivery comes up, she'll have to postpone the date.
Scheekel did encounter some problems attracting customers. She said some people tended to be suspicious because they didn't know much about her new business and were afraid to let strangers into their homes.
"I like a business that's positive Fireworks are pure luxuries to people. With grocery, there's a need."
They require a minimum order of $25, but Scheckel said the average order had been about $40. She said she was busiest around the first of the month when her elderly customers receive their social security checks
With no cashiers, no displays, only a few people helping out occasionally and very little advertising. Scheckel is able to keep costs very low.
"Some people just thought it was too good to be true," she said.
As a full-time student and business owner, Scheekel has to keep running to stay on top of things. She said that the company was well known, she was taking care of the business.
Although she hasn't earned back her initial investment, Scheekel said she hasn't lost money. She's been in the workforce for almost but already has about 25 customers.
"I know our profits can't be as high
as the grocery stores," she said.
"Some of my friends think I'm crazy," she said.
