Cessarich said he thought Kansas' athletics director, Lew Perkins, was the reason for the change saying that Perkins doesn't care.

Perkins took over as athletic director last July after 13 years as the athletic director at the University of Connecticut.
Lorraine Gan, director of facility operations and event services at UConn, said the UConn policy was similar to Kansas' new rules.
"Obviously we would like to watch the game, but our job is to keep the fans happy," she said. "When change occurs, you have to get used to it."

One difference is that there are no volunteer workers on UConn's event staff. The event staff is paid by the university.
Marchiony said the department didn't want to go to an all-paid staff.
"We've made some changes and are trying to make sure that we have the correct number of people — not too many, not too few," Marchiony said. "We will continually assess everything, and if we don't think people are needed, we'll eliminate those positions."
There are four main job duties for the event staff members.
They are ticket takers, ushers security personnel and those who guide people within the building itself.

FEMALES: Recruitment programs slowly close engineer gender gap
Boldridge said this program was popular last year, drawing 42 participants.
Because of the high interest, the school will offer the program twice this summer. Boldridge said organizers hope to have 80 participants.
"This program is one of the major efforts in recruiting females to the school," Boldridge said. "We think the number is going to drastically improve for next fall."
These programs are designed to make female students feel less intimidated upon entering the University. Mary Novin, Olathe junior, said she was worried as a freshman coming into the male-dominated School of Engineering. A civil engineering major, Novin said programs for high school females would take pressure off of them so that they could excel just as well as male engineering students.
"This is a really intimidating, really time-consuming and really structured field," she said.
Although three of Novin's engineering classes this year have more males than females, one engineering class stands out. In her hydrology engineering class, seven students are male and 11 are female.
It is a unique experience for Novin's instructor, Bryan Young, assistant professor in civil, environmental and architectural engineering. He said it was the first time females outnumbered males

Males have traditionally been more prominent in the field, but people should pass over cultural biases and continue to make an extra effort to increase women in engineering,Young said.
"I've noticed with my own kids, the boy gets the science experiment kit, and the girl gets the Barbie doll," he said, "and it has a long term impact."
