“The Price is Right” returns to campus

Friday, March 6, 2009

Come on down! You could be the next contestant on “The Price Is Right!” Or at least the Student Union Activities version at 10 p.m. Saturday night in the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.

Students can play games seen on the TV show such as Plinko and Punch-a-Bunch to win about $4,000 worth of prizes.

Jacque Lumsden, Wichita senior and special events coordinator for SUA, said she expects about 200 people to attend.

To be eligible to win, students can donate $2 or bring paper towels or dog food, which will go to the Lawrence Humane Society.

The night’s big prizes will be a two-night stay in a hotel in downtown Kansas City and a package for four people to stay at Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, Kan.

“As a college student, I think the prizes are things other college students would want,” Lumsden said. “And if you can get it for free, then you might as well come to the event.”

Other prizes will include local restaurant gift cards, video games and video game consoles.

Dennis Rosen, associate professor of business, will host the event which will conclude with winners spinning the Price is Right Wheel and a Showcase Showdown.
