Students at the University of Kansas hope classes will be canceled Monday ?? whether or not the Chiefs win the Super Bowl on Sunday night.
And if classes aren??t canceled, the student government wants the university to strategically place emesis(vomit/barf) bags around campus, especially in high-traffic areas.
KU??s Student Senate on Thursday passed a resolution calling on Chancellor Douglas Girod to consider implementing health and safety measures for the day after the big game.
Tiara Floyd, student body president, said the resolution ??is both serious and lighthearted.? She said that while the senate is not condoning underage drinking, ??we are not oblivious to activities students take part in.
It said that health and safety risks ??would only be exasperated by the continuation of classes less than 12 hours after said victory...
Floyd said some student senators recalled the celebrations that accompanied the Royals?? 2015 World Series win. Some faculty canceled classes the following day, but many did not. She said a lot of students did not make it to class and among those who did show up, ??I hate to say this; people were vomiting in their backpacks. That is a health issue.?
Floyd said that what the Senate wants most is for the administration and faculty to know ??that some students might stay out later than usual and some might be drinking so students might not be their best,? Floyd said. ??They might be hung over and sick after a night of celebrating.?
A copy of the resolution also was sent to Chiefs coach Andy Reid, owner Clark Hunt, General Manager Brett Veach and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Star did not hear back from university officials about whether they were considering the students?? requests for Monday.
Sheesh. And students go to college to learn how to be part of a civilized world?
If they have to barf into their backpack because of over imbibing, maybe that will be a productive lesson for them.
Kids at KU know what football is?
Maybe they just heard there was a party?
Good thing I'm not scheduled to be on the KU campus tomorrow.?ÿ Five weeks later for an engineering seminar, though.
Apparently the sane students attending our other State universities will be able to attend classes without expecting to find school-issued barf bags available.
What kind of idiot pukes in their backpack? Can you imagine trying to clean it, especially with a commode huggin' hangover. Just puke on the floor and all over anyone in near proximity. Class will be dismissed. ?????ÿ
What kind of idiot pukes in their backpack?...
In Oklahoma the kids would at least have the decency to puke in someone else's backpack.
I mean...tonight KU plays Texas at Allen Fieldhouse so the students should just keep drinking so they can be prepared for the game. #RockChalkJayhawk
Isn't the University of Kansas in Kansas?
KU and Arrowhead Stadium are exactly 50 miles apart. In this part of the world, that is just across the road.
Check this out.?ÿ I worked with a fellow who played baseball for them.

There's also Indiana University of Pennsylvania

When I was at Uni, ATM's had only been around for a couple of years, so they were few and far between. There was one at Uni, but it was heavily patronised. So I rock up there early one Saturday morning and find that although there was no queue, overnight some scholars had puked all over it. I needed the money, so I used it, and to my delight found that the keys I needed to use, didn't have chunks on them. That was the best luck I've ever had.
