4B Tuesday, December 10. 1996 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KU students hawk University's charms By Kimberly Crabtree Kansan staff writer Admissions staff at the University of Kansas realize there's no better way to share a student's perspective of life at the University than to let students tell it themselves. That's why admissions personnel are putting students to work calling potential Jayhawks around the nation to tell them about the University. "The power of telecounseling is that it's one on one with students who are living the experience," said Lori Reesor, associate director of admissions. Telecounseling is the name of the office's program in which 18 KU students are paid to call high school students and describe the University. Reesor said that office personnel had done some form of telecounseling for six or seven years, but that this was only the second year it had been organized into a formal program. Reesor couldn't say how many students who were called by telecounselors actually enrolled at the University. But she said that between Jan. 1 and mid-November of this year, telecounselors made 17,000 calls. Andi Winberly, Lansing sophomore, has been a telecounselor for about a year. She said that talking to students who were excited about the University was the best part of her job. "And it's exciting to see students whom I've talked to," she said. Telecounselors call students Sunday through Thursday during the evenings, and the program continues year-round. The telecounselors call students in three stages, Reesor said. The first stage of calls are to high-ability students. The office purchases students' names from American College Test and Scholastic Aptitude Test services and call students who may not have considered attending the University. The second stage is calling students who already have been admitted, to encourage them to attend the University, Reesor said. Telecourseurs also call students to tell them about special admissions programs that may be taking place on campus or in the students' community. After students are called, the telecounselors record notes about the conversation as part of the staff's database, which has 80,000 names, Reesor said. Telecounselors often follow up with a letter to the student. Mike Alzamora, Lawrence freshman, was called several times by telecounselors, but he already was interested in the University. "This was my dream school," he said. Alzamora said that Wimberly, the telecounselor who had called him, had helped him out by explaining financial aid information. By Megan Jordan Kansan staff writer Break drains bars' profits Bars. Taverns. Drinking establishments. No matter what you call them, businesses that serve alcohol are an integral part of many students' college experience. In other words, lots of KU students frequent local bars. So what happens when these students go home for the holidays? Who drinks all that beer? "At Bull Winkles, we can tell when tests are coming, and people are feeling the academic crunch," Sampson said. Jim Sampson, manager of Buil Winkles Bar, 1344 Tennessee St., said that his bar closed during the three-week break. Because the Bull relies on student business, he said, it did not make sense to stay open while most students were at home. Sampson expected business to be fairly slow this week,but said the weekend would be busy. "It's lots of people's last chance to go out before they have to crack down," he said. The last night of finals also would be a big night at the bar, Sampson said, because students want one last fling before they go home to their parents. Sampson lives in Lawrence and said that although his bar shuts down, other bars in town would continue to draw customers. The Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., is one such bar. Nat Watts, New York graduate student, has been a bartender at the tavern for four years and said he had never noticed a dramatic decrease in business during the winter break. The type of crowd visiting the sports bar changed some during this time, but the Yacht Club still is full, Watts said. He attributed this success to the fact that the establishment has been around for nine years. "Bars are a dine a dozen. They come and go," Watts said. "But the Yacht Club has been here. It's an established bar." Instead of KU students, Watts serves beer to students returning to Lawrence from other colleges and to KU alumni. Many customers also come to watch KU basketball games. Watts said bars that offered other attractions, such as televised sports, music or food tended to do well when students were not around. Also, older bars enjoy the business of alumni visiting old haunts. Anne Leek, Overland Park sophomore, said she planned on coming to Lawrence during the winter break. Leek said she would keep her job in Lawrence and go to her friends' apartments and then to the bars after work. "I don't miss drinking beer, but I like to see my friends," she said. Leek said the bars' atmosphere was more relaxed when school was not in session, but plenty of people were out having fun. "You won't have to wait in any lines. That's the best part," Leek said.
