' . ill ' e M ,L The thud of bowling balls rolling down wooden lanes, the occasional shriek when someone gets a strike, the catchy music playing in the background, the smell of fresh paint and that distinct smell of bowling shoes. The laybowl was back in action after a two-year hiatus for renovations. This newly-decorated recreation center had a much more humble beginning. The laybowl first opened in 1930 where it was a place for students to go and play cards or billiards. This was the first space in the Kansas Union dedicated to recreation. I came to the laybowl to hang out with my friends, Rhino Page, San Diego, Calif., freshman, said. This is my home away from home because l'm on the University bowling team. l've been bowling since I was 4 and competitively since l was 7. I love the bowling alley atmosphere. The laybowl finally became a place to bowl in 1953 when six lanes were installed in the area that is now the second-floor bookstore. These lanes were remodeled in 1960 and six more lanes were added. ln 1977, beer was first allowed to be sold in the Union. This continued until 1997. Another renovation in 1982 brought video games to this recreation area. ln addition to the bowling lanes reopening in October, the Hawk's Nest was added with pool tables, video games, a jukebox and a widescreen television. The l-lawk's Nest also featured a performing arts area for small concerts. Wheat Wavers, a snack shop, also opened with the laybowl in October. In addition to open play, the University offered bowling lessons and bowling classes. I needed another elective cnedit, so l'm taking bowling, Kim St. lohn, Lenexa sophomore, said. lt's a great time to come and have fun in class and also relieve stress. sarah lathrop photos.chris burket -0-2 X CD 4-I
