4 quakes hit Panama
PANAMA CITY, Panama—Four major earthquakes hit the sharply populated jungles of the Panama-Colombia border region yesterday. Authorities and the government have been working to find out how the damage was.
The quakes were felt lightly in the capital city, about 150 miles from the border. In Bogota, Colombia, 300 miles south of the border, the third quake sent panicky waves through the streets and bridges.
The U.S. National Earthquake Information Service at Golden, Colo., said the first quake registered 7.0 on the Richter scale at 11:54 p.m. CDT, and another registered 7.1 about four hours later. The intensity would have been enough to cause serious damage in populated areas.
Rep. Howe asks dismissal
SALT LAKE CITY—Rep. Allan T. Howe returns to court today to argue that the Senate's misconduct misconduct are grounds for dismissal of the sex-oxidation charge against him.
Howe-D-Utah, was arrested June 12 and subsequently charged with the misdemeanor of soliciting services for pay. He is accused of offering two policy benefits to women.
Dean R. Mitchell, Hoewe's lawyer, subpoenaed seven organizations and two reporters and said he would show that excessive publicity has precluded Howe's
Howe, seeking re-election to his 2nd District congressional seat, has pleaded innocent. Trial, originally scheduled for today, has been delayed by July 19.
Body recovery effort fails
LISBON—An effort to get the body of executed American mercenary Daniel Gearart out of Angola stalled yesterday and the U.S. embassy will probably have to wait.
Mathias had flown to Lisbon on his way to Angola to seek clemency for Gearhard, of Kensington, Md. When the executions of the American and three British mercenaries were announced Saturday, Mathias was still waiting here because he lacked an Angolan visa.
Mathias said he thought the body would be flown from the Angolan capital of Luanda to Lisbon by the end of the week. This would meet the Angolan government's deadline of eight days to claim the bodies of the four men, shot by a firing squad Saturday.
City folks soon will reap fruits of Farmer's Market
Lawrence citizens will be able to buy fresh, farm-grown produce more easily in public parking lot, 8th and Vermont, on July 17. Justin Anderson, executive secretary of the Downtown Lawrence Association, which owns the market, announced the opening recently.
The purpose of the market is to bring together the grower and the prospective buyer of garden produce, according to Rob Lawrence, an associate with Downtown Lawrence Association (DLA).
The market will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday through Sept. 25, if there is an opening.
The City Commission unanimously endorsed the market and made available rent-free to the DLA the city property at 8th and Vermont.
The market will be a non-profit venture for the DLA. There will be no fee charged to the producer sales, but those who want to purchase the must obtain a permit from the DLA.
Miller said anyone in Douglas County or surrounding areas who had home-grown vegetables or fruits for sale would be given the set up in the market if he obtained a permit.
Each seller will be assigned a stall. He may sell from the back of a truck or bring him to the store.
The market will save time and fuel for the buyers, because they won't have to drive around the county looking for truck-garden stands, Miller said.
"We are simply trying to bring the farmer and city closer together for their mutual benefit."
The study was done by two university of Kansas psychologists, David Campbell, assistant professor of psychology, and Ted Schlecter, Wichita graduate student in educational psychology, and was presented to the Library Facilities Planning Committee west to give more information for planning the remodeling of Watson Library.
Study catalogues library's faults
The layout and physical conditions in Watson Library were the two areas most disliked by students, an April study of library users showed.
The study was done, however, to determine how behavior is influenced by the environment and how the construction of an environment affects individual behavior.
"WE TRIED to do an unobtrusive study." Campbell said. "We didn't go around asking people questions while they were studying. We merely observed them."
Campbell and Shecter gathered the data through telephone interviews, behavior surveys and noticing traffic patterns of people arriving at the department, disliked the arrangement, hours, decem-
“It’s coming through loud and clear that the building is real complicated.” Jim Ranz, dean of Watson Library, said. “We definitely need help in solving this maze.”
Diaries were kept by 24 students who helped demonstrate the traffic patterns of library users. The students filled out forms recording a routine trip to the library and their streams of behavior that followed, indicating their use and feeling regarding the building as they went from one activity to another.
"WE FOUND out that there wasn't a big difference of behavior within different areas, as we had suspected before," Campbell said.
tralization, lighting, heating, crowding and noise of the library.
The records showed that the stacks, floors where books are shelved, were the most frequented areas. The most time was spent in the reserve reading room.
The researchers found that the most approved sections of the library were facilities, such as the microfilm department and the periodical room, and the staff.
First sketches prepared for Continuing Ed center
Initial sketches for the $8.6 million continuing education center to be built at the University of Kansas are being studied by Dr. Howard Walker, director of continuing education, and a committee of the Division of Continuing Education.
The center is one of three prototype continuing education centers to be built in the United States with funds from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
The sketches were drawn by the Ekdahl, Davis, Depew and Persson architectural firm. The drawings they will be examined by the KU facilities advisory committee, Executive Vice Chancellor D. Del Shankel, Chancellor Archie R. Woods, Board of Regents and the state architect:
CONGRESS GAVE an $8,600 planning grant to the Division of Continuing Education last July for architectural and engineering studies. In March 1976, preliminary architectural plans were approved by the Chancellor and the Board of Regents.
The sketches being studied show ways available space can be used, Walker said, and include such details as office and bathroom placement.
The sketches also must be approved by HEW. Congress then appropriates money for the final blueprints, Walker said, which should happen in December.
The KU project, which will be built north
the Kansas Union, will be designed to
carry out the mission.
attle, Washington, will build a regional center for extension and continuing education. A prototype of a center for a community at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Va.
WALKER REPORTED TO the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce education committee last week on the progress of the project. The Chamber of Commerce has said that the city would need better airport facilities in order to serve people coming to the KU center as students or as speakers, according to Larry Danielson, Chamber public relations director for the Chamber and KU were looking for a firm interested in building a model adjacent to the center to provide housing for the visiting continuing education students and teachers.
Walker said that it would take about 18 months to build the 7,100 square-foot center, and that construction should start in 1979.

Problems plague new computer
A new computer system at the University of Kansas encountered "significant" problems during its first week of operation, according to Paul Wolfe, coordinator of University computing, but the problems are expected to be resolved soon.
The new Honeywell 66-40 instructional and research computer system, one of two new systems, encountered severalhaltenal operations during its first nine days of operation.
One of the eight discums, which retrieves information being stored by computer users, malfunctioned on Wednesday; the other two replace the defective unit, Wofe said.
THE INTEGRATED control unit failed to work properly Thursday evening, causing a 14-hour period in which the whole system was inoperable. Tests revealed a faulty power unit, but a new unit was installed Friday, Wolfe said.
The other new computer system at KU, for $2.4 million IBM administrative computer, bad minor non-mechanical problems which were quickly worked out, Jerry Magnuson, director of administrative information systems said.
"The staff is really satisfied with the new administrative system. This was a good week with good productivity," Magnuson said.
Wolfe said the more serious mechanical

Because early problems with the Honeywell system KU officials protected themselves in contract negotiations by taking a very long period for the new system, Wolfe said.

IF THE EQUIPMENT does not meet the standard of performance during the initial 30 days, the performance test will continue until it is met for 30 consecutive days.
If performance is not achieved in 90 days KU can demand performance guarantees from Honeywell, including supplying additional equipment, replacing equipment or other action necessary to insure performance.
"The effect of the performance agreement is to put pressure on Honeywell to make the system work and protect us at the same time," Wolfe said.
