	February 7, 2009 - AEC Square Dance Square dancing is a very traditional American pastime and a lot of fun. The dance is led by a "Caller" who tells the groups (or squares) of dancers which set of steps they will be doing next. You will learn some basic steps and then dance to folk music performed by a local band and called by a local square dance caller. February 21, 200 - KU Jayhawk Basketball Game During your stay, the biggest sports event in Lawrence is without a doubt the KU basketball games. The 16,600 seat field house is almost always filled to capacity with screaming, jumping fans who come to see one of the nation's best college-level basketball teams. This will be your chance to see the Jayhawks (the KU mascot) and to sing the "I'm a Jayhawk" and join in the "Rock Chalk" chant, KU traditions, while watching a great sports event.

	Required Business Field Trips February 4, 2009: Kansas City Board of Trade he Kansas City Board of Trade was founded in 1856 by a group of Kansas City merchants. It served a function similar to a Chamber of Commerce. The Kansas City Board of Trade was formally chartered in 1876. Located on the northern border between Kansas and Missouri and the junction of two rivers, Kansas City is situated in one of the most productive wheat-growing regions of the world. Early trading at the exchange was primarily in cash grains. Today, grain elevators, exporters, millers and producers use the exchange to protect their cash positions by buying or selling futures and options. Stock market investors also utilize KCBT products. Nonetheless, cash grain trading is still the core business of many of KCBT's members. Throughout its development, the Kansas City Board of Trade has prided itself on its Midwestern heritage. Integrity and service are the cornerstones upon which the Board of Trade was founded, and they remain as important today as then. *February 11, 2009: Lawrence Journal World* When W.C.
