Vice chancellor resigns
By DENISE RUPP
Staff Writer
The resignation of D. Cramer Reed, vice chancellor for the Wichita branch of the University of Kansas Medical School, has been accepted by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
Dykes asked yesterday that he would honor Reed's request that he not be reappointed for another year when his current term ends July 1.
Reed, who has been vice chancellor since 1975, acknowledged that problems at the medical school had played a part in his dismissal. He mentioned specific reasons for his resignation.
"NO ONE ASKED me to resign," he said. "I just felt that I'd done all I could in this position. I got the med school started and I was ready to take on my job, mass the responsibility on someone else."
According to Dykes, Reed's letter of resignation said that he thought he no longer could provide effective leadership of the medical school.
Dykes said that the lack of a permanent location for the medical school was one of the most frustrating problems that Reed had faced.
The medical school is set up in E.B. Allen
Memorial Hospital, but the county commissioners and the hospital board of trustees recently decided that they needed the space it was occupying.
Reed announced his resignation to the chairmen of the clinical departments at the hospital.
GEORGE, FARHA, chairman of the surgery department, said Reed did not explain his reasons for wanting to leave at that time.
"He said that he was unable to carry out casual aspects of his duties." PARha said. *I*
David Waxman, executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, met with the Wichita staff Friday but he said he did not talk to Reed personally.
The Kansas Legislature failed to approve a large amount of the budget requested by Gov. Rick Snyder.
"I don't know what his reasons for leaveing are," Waxman said. "I imagine he has his own personal reasons for wanting to do someone else, and I think we should just let it go."
Reed said that he had not looked for another job but that he might resume his work.

Varsity Shop, Union compete for text sales
Jim Christman says that he plan to eventually gain 30 percent of the University of Kansas students' textbook business after his shop begins selling textbooks this
Crestman, owner of the Varsity Shop,
1420 Crescent Rd., said Friday that he would devote one-third of his shop space to the sale of textbooks.
To determine which books to buy back from students, Chrestian said he had been contacting KU department secretaries to be used again this summer and next fall.
The shop's location and convenient parking to the side and rear of the building will be an incentive for students to purchase their textbooks from the Varsity Shop, he
Betty Brook, general manager of the Kansas Union bookstores, said she could not predict whether the new textbook department would hurt the Union's business.
The Varsity Shop will begin buying those extras from students today for half the price.
It is the same buy-back policy used by the Union bookstore, which will begin buying textbooks Wednesday, according to Union's textbook department manager.
By the beginning of the summer semester,
Christman said, he planned to have text-
books for 85 percent of the courses being
offered at KU.
But he said he had not determined how the shop would make room for the books. Some of the textbooks will be eventually stored in
a warehouse.
CHRISTMAN, who was the Union's bookstore manager from 1967 to 1976, said that as far as he knew this would be the first time there would be two textbook stores in

Both the Union bookstore and the Varsity Shop will sell used books for about 25 percent less than the retail value of the book, depending upon its condition.
