The lights of Wescott Hall shone onto a lonely stretch of Jayhawk hill, which is surrounded by hummingbirds building two years ago this fall. In the background are several large trees.
Mibeck said that the measures to control the crowds at 14th and Ohio streets had been ineffectual. Instead of revoking the licenses of the establishments there, Mibeck said, a closing down just during home football game days might be sufficient.
Wallace, the only owner of any of the three establishments present at the meeting, asked the commission to hold back on any action closing the taverns.

Commission's motion passed 3-2 with Mayor Barkley Clark and Commissioner Fred Pence disentering. It was an attempt to alleviate crowd problems that have plagued the area for some time in spite of efforts that last the two weeks to ease the situation.
The managers of three taverns in the area of 14th and Ohio streets will be asked by the Lawrence City Commission to close their buildings at noon on the days of home football games.
A two-month debate ended last night when a petition for recognition of the United Public Employee Associations of Lawrence as a collective bargaining coalition was rejected by the Lawrence City Commission by a 3-2 vote.
However, after a heated argument, the commission voted 3-2 in favor of a motion establishing an employee council, which was proclaimed by Mayer Barkley Clark.
He also said a state statute said that firefighters and police couldn't be in the house.
In addition, Clark said, he didn't think the association would be local, as the association had said, it would be, because the police officers belonged to the Fraternal Order of Police, and the firefighters are on the AFL-CIO. Both are national unions.
CLARK SAID the council would provide an opportunity for city employees to discuss complaints with the city manager and allow policy changes with the city commission.
In a prepared statement, Clark said that recognition of the association wasn't in the best interest of the city. He said he had discussed the matter with labor union experts, Lawrence citizens and city employees before reaching his decision.

THE ASSOCIATION also consisted of sanitation workers and street workers.
Recognition of a collective bargaining unit will only cause trouble and complicate management.
The city commission had been able to work effectively with city workers without a bargaining unit, he said, and would continue to do so by means of the employees council.
"We intend not to just talk but to act," he said.
In another prepared statement, Commissioner

She said the city commission had shown its willingness to work with city employees through its decision to keep a public library instead of implementing a private service.
Creation of the employee council, she said,
will result in an "open, responsive atmosphere" between city employees and city management.
COMMISSIONER Carl Mibek, who voted to recognize the employee association, said he was disappointed that the commission didn't get experts to testify on the feasibility of accepting a city employee association.
In addition, he said, of all the people who appeared at a public hearing on the employee association at last week's city commission meeting, only one person was against recognition, and this person admitted he wasn't an expert.
All the information that was put in the commissioners' study packages was used.
"All the negotiation with unions that is good isn't talked about," he said.
Future KU priorities spark praise, doubts
City Manager Buford Watson said that a police report of the crowds last Saturday indicated that the area was blocked off from traffic and that property damage was in evidence. A crowd gathered on Saturday's crowd did follow the largest crowd ever to see a Kansas sporting event.
Some of the city commission discussion concerned the possibility of people shut out of the Wheel and the Jawhawk filtering over it. It also involved and still causing the same crowd problem.
When telephoned after the decision, Wooden said that he didn't know what would happen now and would discuss the situation with Wallace.
"We'll just have to wait and see," he said. After the meeting Shea said, "I am more than willing to cooperate with the city counselors so that this bar contributes to the problem."
Improve classroom teaching; retain flexibility in staffing; promote affirmative action; improve counseling and advising skills; help students develop flexibility of internal resources; expand the resource base for libraries, museums and research facilities; improve services to faculty and staff; improve services in teaching; and the Kansas Union; and new programs.
Shea said his establishment was usually quiet on Satdurds.
"I don't think any of the bars should be shut down," he said.
"I know no complaints of the Bierstube, ever." he said. "I'm very shocked."
Reactions to the University of Kansas statement of goals and objectives for fiscal years 1977 to 1979 released yesterday range from support to doubt.
Shea said he didn't rely on the SaturdayCmd because he had a different type of phone.

"The they (the goals) are the concerns we feel ourselves," W. J. Argersinger, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said yesterday.
HE SAID that beer had gone out of the tavern on the streets and that bottles had been thrown at police officers who were stationed there.
Rolfs said that educational quality was sixth in last year's statement.
Hiring TAS, and Als and other non tenured personnel is one recommendation of the second statement of the report. It requests that a majority of future personnel hired by the University be nontenured to maintain flexibility.
Watson said that tavern owners had tried to keep beer inside their establishments and that they had trouble with some people wanting refunds because of that.
don't think the quality of teaching would necessarily improve if we decreased the number of teaching assistants (TAs) and teachers in our program, or the number of full-time regular faculty."
"The process could be improved," he said, but added. This isn't something that happens in our lives.
THE IMMEDIATE goals of the University, listed by priority, are:
Ed Rolfs, student body president, said he had been pleased that the quality of技術
"Great," he said. "It always should have been."
LINDA PARKER, chairman of KU's affirmative action board, said that the presence of a statement in the report supporting affirmative action programs was an indication that very little progress towards more equitable salary levels had occurred.
Mibec said he could empathize with the city employees because he knew what it was to be without a union. Mibec is a member of the local union, which is recognized by the state. Mibec said that before the teachers were recognized, they had to put up with much
Rolfs said he thought the Student Senate should have had a say in the preparation of this bill.
There were some accusations of police brutality, he said.
That paragraph is a general statement of present policy, according to Jack Orchu, chairman of the Academic Freedom and Rights Association of University Professors.
Instead, selection and training methods for TAs and AIs should be improved, he said.
City Police Chief Richard Samwick, who was asked for advice on the situation, said that coming cold weather might alleviate the crowd problem.
Wallace said that a bigger problem might arise when people showed up in that area.
He said that he didn't want to open the containers to allow beer there as it would only cause a lot of trouble.
Parker said the University administration was committed to the idea of
"The biggest beneficiaries of the recognition teachers are the young teachers in this town."
"University needs need University-wide discussion," he said.
He said it was a bad situation but not the place to use tear gas as had happened in the war.
MIBECK ALSO questioned whether future commissions would listen to city employees if they didn't belong to a collective bargaining unit.
The University is studying ways of more effectively selecting and training TAs and students.
"I think it's a shame that the Wheel and the Joyhawk have so much business that they can't do anything."
Commissioner Donald Bims, who also was for recognition, said the commission had heard only pro-management positions concerning recognition.
"All five of us are in a generous mood in the employees but we won't last forever the
The commission needs to be reminded that a bill is in Congress that would force cities to accept city employees, he unions, has an excellent chance for passing, he said.
Police had about 500 or 600 cans of beer that people had brought taken from the area, he said, and some people were already drunk before they entered the area.
Mibec's statement was followed by an apology from the audience.
Commissioner Donald Bins said that he saw the crowd and that they were rude and insulting to the police officers, who were subjected to obscenity and jeering.
Responding to a suggestion that fewer students teach students, Shankel said, "I
"This is the direction of the future. Within two years the city probably will have to recognize unions. It's too bad Lawrence, has to be dragged into the 20th century."

BINNS made a motion to create a board
Wallace said that the commission should consider that the crowd problem was not an overnight phenomenon but built up over a long period of time.
Binn's said that the establishments should be asked to close for the game days and if they didn't, the city should use legal rules to keep such "public nuisances" from occurring.
"I THINK that law without enforcement is a mockery," he said.

Mibeeck that several weeks earlier he was convinced that city measures such as blockading the area off from traffic might be more effective on Saturday raised some serious questions.
Birns said that the crowds had long been the subject of numerous corpulaints.
"The question is, are the tavern owners violating the law or are the people violating
He said he saw full cans of beer thrown on passing cars. Some cars were stopped by some of the crowd, Mibek said, and the occupants bothered.
He said that the tavern owners had done everything they could to comply with city recommendations but that the problem couldn't disappear in just two weeks.
The commission also indicated that it might talk with student representatives about possible further solutions to the crowd problems.
"I believe we're doing the job we can to keep the beer inside." Wallace said.
"The thing that really bugs me about this whole thing is that this kind of thing can't go on," he said. "Measures are going to have to be taken to stop this."
The commission said the owners would be able to reply at next Tuesday's meeting since the topic had been added to the agenda and all of the owners to prepare for the discussion.

Itch for antiques infects flea market
Those who have a nostalgic spirit would probably enjoy a visit to Quantrill's Flea Market, 511 New Hampshire St., but they are also warned of one danger of antique buoying.
Marij Seiwald, a Lawrence antique dealer at the market, said Saturday that the satisfaction from the first place of sales was also likely to lasting affair with antiques.
"It takes just one thing to stimulate the whole works," she said.
"This is a hobby I work all week to support." Bill Winkler, a Galesburg dealer said.
He and his wife, he said, were just darn
fools with it."
THE MARKET, which has been in Lawrence since 1971, has over 30 vendors from various Kansas towns, according to Jim Comer, the market's manager.
In addition to the old furniture, glassware, jewelry, and other items that can take a visitor's mind back a few years, she has also called her calls "a collection of golden oldies."
The rent for a booth may run from $9 for a small booth to $55 for the larger ones. All booth rentals may be paid by the group could be rented by the week most people stay especially in the fall when market stays.
Camer, whose booth features furniture, glassware, paintings and posters, said that the company is committed to creating a brand.
Many of the antique dealers at Quaintrilly began collecting them. After they ran out of money, they sold them.
Seiwald said that she'd been "antiquing", since high school, being the only grandchild to save her grandparents' furniture. When her collection started coming out from her bed and falling out of her closet she decided that she had to start selling.
"I play it for the atmosphere," he said,
"It fits right in."
WINKER SAID that he also had started collecting with his grandparents' furniture.
"Once you live with them (antiques) swail, you start to latch on to them," he
Not all the vendors sell old furniture and glassware.
Many copper and brass kettles hang from a beam in the booth of R.L. MONT, RH2.
Montell also displays jewelry and new glassware with cut crystal overlay.
He said he also sold "primitives" for handmade at home, not in a factory.
Mortell, who has been in the antique business for over 12 years, also had a large assortment of turquoise and agate pieces used to make jewelry. He said that 75 percent of his jewelry items were sold to him so he could make their own necklaces and bracelets.
Over 2,000 books were in two booths
rented by Terry Harmon, professor of
history at the Johnson County Junior College.
His father, Paul Harmon, Newton, said that his son had collected books for several years while teaching, and that his son was a collector who had become a seller.
Grant Hewitt, Wichita senior, said that he was working his way through college by teaching at the university and his family had been interested in antiques and that they were all involved in a horticultural effort.
"My mother gathers, my father
friends, and my sister and I, all," he
"Rings are a big thing. KU students are bie ring freaks," he said.
To be a vintage antique, Hewitt said, a federal law says an item had to be 100 years old.
Hewitt said that his best selling item was jewelry.
"I agree with a lady I knew who said, "I don't sell antiques, I sell collectibles," he
In almost every booth, there was an old or costly item that the dealer could talk about.
Corner said a large, book title case that he had was probably over 60 years-old.
