For example, in early October, discouragingly low voter turnout in student senate elections was the motivation for Delta Force and the Association of University Residence I-Ialls to band together and mobilize support for a polling site on Daisy Hill, in front of the Ekdahl Dining Commons. The groups began a student initiative by means of a petition. Past setbacks such as organizing student support at the wrong time of the year, lack of permission from the director of student housing and changing committee members forced the student activists to take a different path in attempting to achieve their goals.

The store served most of a college student's needs with a grocery store, optical department, pharmancy and everything in between. Student Life Money for tuition, books, housing, food-it all adds up quickly. Those are the necessities students need to make it at KU. But what about those little extras? Like a pizza while cramming for a test, or weekend beer money. What about a favorite band that just happened to come to town? All of those little extras added up for students along with the bare necessities. To help cut expenses many students clipped coupons for late night food habits. The cost ofa medium cheese pizza was 59.60 at Domino's and 956.50 at Gumby's. Drinking was another expensive activity. A micro brew at Free State Brewery was S2, whereas a keg of low quality domestic beer could cost around 3560. Catching a show in Lawrence depended on the calibur of the band. A national act could bring in S12-S20 a ticket, while a local band could charge no more than S10 a pop. oing ,wwf -l-i,-' -k v -- - --- - ft' , 3, 2 M gimp Q . Q g
