Date: Tue, 7 Mar 1995 16:35:24 -0600 (CST) From: Kevyn Jacobs To: "Kansas Queer News [KQN]" Subject: Greg Louganis tickets at KU ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 7 Mar 1995 12:20:13 -0600 (CST) From: LesBiGay Services of Kansas Dear Kansas Queers and Allies: As you may already know, LesBiGay Awareness Week at the University of Kansas is coming up April 2 through 8, 1995, and our biggest event is sure to be the lecture by Greg Louganis (Wednesday, April 5, 8:00 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom). Because of Greg's recent disclosure that he is suffering from AIDS as well as the upcoming release of his autobiography, we have already been swamped with calls about this lecture and the people at SUA, who are handling ticket sales for us, are certain it will sell out pretty quickly when tickets go on sale next week. We are, however, planning to give free tickets to the presidents of queer student organizations at the other universities in Kansas - so if you want to come to that lecture let me know within the next couple of days. Also, if you have officers or whatever who want to be sure they get tickets, our awareness week chair is going to reserve tickets in advance for a few people - send a $10 check or money order made out to LesBiGay Services of Kansas to Bill Friend, Awareness Week Coordinator, at the snail mail address listed below in the signature file. Enclose a note letting him know it's for tickets to Greg's lecture. He's going to reserve tickets on Friday, so we need all presidents' names and payments ASAP. All other LesBiGay Awareness Week Events are free! You should all be receiving info snailmail pretty soon.

Greg is going to be touring the country promoting his new autobiography, _Breaking the Surface_. Excerpts from his book are in last week's _People_ magazine, and there is also a cover story on him in this month's _Out_ magazine, if you're curious about it (or just want to see nice hunky pictures of Greg). While all other LesBiGay Awareness Week 1995 events are free and open to the public, we are having to charge for Greg's lecture in order to pay his honorarium. Tickets go on sale this coming Monday, March 13. If you'd like to attend and haven't made advance arrangements, you can purchase your ticket(s) at the Student Union Activities box office in the Kansas Union on the KU campus Monday morning; the box office opens at 8:30 a.m. and their phone number is (913) 864-3477. We expect these to sell out fairly quickly, so you if you want to go get your tickets as soon as possible. Hope you can join us for this and other events scheduled for LesBiGay Awareness Week 1995!
