Rumor that Julian Wright's leaving for the NBA has led to decreased business at JaybowlPhotos from Google images, put together by Kirsten Hudson
As I'm sure many of you read in the University Daily Kansan, a proposal to bring beer sales back to Jaybowl is being considered by the Provost's office.
If approved the proposal would allow 3.2 beer (a lower alcohol content than regular beer) to be sold at Jaybowl. However, beers would be limited to two per person.
As a security measure, Jaybowl would scan ID's then give a wristband and hand stamp to those over 21.
Although according to the UDK, Shawn Bowers, a student member of the committee that reviewed the proposal and director of public relations for Student Union Activities said the purpose of the proposal was to create "an environment where students and professors can come and relax. It would be another option for a mature campus audience," I have heard a different rumor.
According to a friend of mine, decreased business at the Jaybowl may be due to Julian Wright's leaving for the NBA.
He was known to be a regular at Jaybowl.
I believe it considering the two times my friends have ever managed to drag me to bowl, he was there.
Personally, I wouldn't have even noticed he was there (I had to concentrate on my game, I mean I wanted my score to at least get over 50) if my friends hadn't pointed and squeaked "Look it's Julian Wright!"
To which I replied "Who?"
Yes I can feel all you basketball fans cringing, I'm sorry ok! I tried, I really did! I just can't get interested in basketball.
However, I digress. Even the guys in my group stared while Julian bowled, to tell you the truth it creeped me out.
Apparently though compared to the rest of KU, at least those that frequent Jaybowl, I'm the odd-ball.
Now that there's no Julian to stare at, the crowds have cleared out and business for Jaybowl has declined, hence the possibly reinstated beer sales.
I just find it amusing that without Julian they have to pacify everyone with beer.
