The volunteer week is sponsored by Volunteer Clearing House, Anne Moore, coordinator of the community office, said yesterday.
She said that with the increasing leisure time enjoyed by many Americans, particularly the elderly, volunteer work was an increasingly important role in society.
The program, she said, is designed to take care of the needs of students and has to offer in terms of building self-esteem.
Another purpose of the program is to bring to the county's attention work being done on the campus, in order to

Return of $2 bill received quietly; several bills begin to circulate
The $2 bill is back. With some fanfare but into excitement, it came back into circulation.
Several of the new bills began to circulate around the campus Tuesday and yesterday, but they were neither pleniful nor in great demand. Instead, they sat tucked away in drawers, which contain registrars and money drawers once held by other denominations or mutilated hills.
Some were given out as change and went right back into circulation.
Richard Stephens, Topeka sophomore,
said he had received a $2 bill as change in
the Wesco Terrace Tuesday afternoon,
but went to the store later and spent it.
"I kind of regretted it," he said. "I would have liked to have kent for a while."
The new bill isn't expected to become the collector's item its predecessor was. The U.S. Treasury has had about 225 million of the bill printed during the past five months and another 175 million will be printed later to bring the total production of the bill to 400 million. The rest will be printed in future years will depend on how well the bill is received by the public.
Banks began distributing the bills Tuesday to coincide with Thomas

The First National Bank distributed about two-thirds of its supply of the new bills within the day-and-d-a-half, a teller said. The bank would take her awhile to get used to them.

Steve Lloyd, Shawnee Mission graduate student, said, "I will get one as change, okay."
The government hopes to cut down the production and distribution of $1 bills, and replace at least half of them with $2 bills to reduce the cost of inflation. The government save from $4 million to $7 million a year.

Some things never change.
First hitted at in 1919 with a patent for 'a tool
with which to open milk and fruit cans. the sleek steel line of the classic beer hook had to await invention of the beer can. American Can in 1935
When employee Dewey Sampson was detailed to invent this penultimately functional tool, he succeeded in uniting 30 years of thriss throats with the contents of millions of cans of Oils.
It took skill and ingenuity and the result just can’t be improved upon. The same goes for Oly.
