Watson store is broke
There is a little book store in the basement of Watson Library that is "in the red" because no one knows it is there.
Begun in 1964 as a division of the Kansas Union Book Store, this little stc hasn't been making any profit despite its evening and Sunday hours.
"Our sales are not what they should be because I don't think people know we are here," said Jan Liticom, one of the three people who work in the store.
Miss Liticom said this fall she and the two other employees decided to do something about it.
"We decided we needed to get a better store," MCAs Liticom said.
So, she and the two other employees began to order more books
and even requested reading lists from professors.
"One particular professor has given us his reading list and we ordered the books for his class," she said, in spite of the list the store still has few customers.
"People come in here when they can't find a book at the Union Book Store or when they can't find a book unstairs."
At that point a boy walked in and asked her if he could have change for a dollar.
"Oh yes," she said, "that's another thing we do—give out change."
"Our receipts are the same as those of the Union Book Store," Miss Liticom said, holding one up. "They are good for a refund."
Besides selling paperback books and some hard cover modern library classics, the little book store also sells supplies such as notebooks, paper, pens and pencils.
The books store tries to get books that people want. She then walked over to a pad of paper on the wall and said it was for suggestions.
"We want people to know what is in here," she said.
A non-competitive unit of the Kansas Union Book Store, the library book store has hours designed to complement the peak periods of the library.
Not following the pattern of the main book store, it is open Sunday through Friday from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m.
Key issues discussed in Model UN
By Diane Wengler Kansan Staff Reporter
For three days next spring, 350 outstanding KU students, Lawrence high school students and students from other campuses will lose their own identity as they assume the roles of delegates to KU's eighth annual Model United Nations.
The Model UN, sponsored by the KU-Y and KU's political science department, will meet March 21, 22 and 23 in the Kansas Union.
Bob Ward, Wichita senior and president of the Model UN General Assembly, said participation in the Model UN gives students the best practical education in international affairs and diplomatic relations KU has to offer.
"Students not only learn a lot about the most important world issues," Ward said, "but they
learn to sit back and objectively see the U.S. as foreigners see it."
Each student, Ward said, selects a country he would like to represent. After each student's qualifications are considered, Ward said, he is assigned with at least three other students to a delegation, preferably from the country he selected.
After spending about 20 hours researching their country's position on world issues, Ward said, delegates vote, debate and conduct behind-the-scenes negotiation.
Although about 65 per cent of the delegates are KU students, Ward said, last year students also came from West Point, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois and Ohio.
The dormitories will house off-campus delegates, Ward said.
The first day of the Model UN, Ward said, each delegation sends a member to the four main committees to consider resolutions on major topic areas such as the Arab-Israeli problem.
Each committee debates, modifies and selects the final form the resolution will take on the General Assembly floor. The General Assembly then debates and votes on each committee's resolutions.
Some countries, Ward said, will have membership in the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), depending upon if they have this representation in the real UN.
Ward said he attended a Model UN in New York and Oklahoma but they had poor debate and lots of bickering.
