Sneaky Pete's, an entertainment tradition in Hassallinger Hall for as long as the band was active. The airwaves when J.K.HK, the University's student-run radio station, broadcasts the show.
A potpourri of rehearsed and impropent entertainment acts by Hasinger residents. Sneaky Pet's pet is presented periodically in the theater, better, complete with free peanuts and beer.
"Snakey Petie's is something that has been an active tradition in the hall." Hasingh resident assistant Nance Paul, Innalis minor said. yesterday
"It's a sort of coffeehouse atmosphere. People with serious talent of all kinds get up and have a good time," she said.
PAUL SAID HASHINGER residents had

been toying with the idea of having Sneaky Pete's broadcast and recently had received support from KJHK.
"I've lived in other halls and I was very impressed, especially Peter Pate," Paul said. "I swear the program director, came to one of our buildings and easily enjoyed it and made the environments."
Paul said the 3 p.m. show would be taped,
then mixed live for broadcast at 6 p.m.
"I thought it would be most beneficial if KJHIR could include it in their programming so that other people could hear it," Paul said.
THE ACTS PRESENTED are often im-promtuat. Paul said.

"It's so unique because so few residents (in other halls) have a chance to get up and perform live," Paul said.

Haines has been very active in organizing previous shows and the hall had decided “to have one Sneaky Pete’s dedicated to Charlie.” Paul said.
Plentiful but costly gas predicted

For summer vacationers this year, there is good news and bad news.
The good news is there should be enough gasoline to go around.
The bad news is it will cost plenty—16 to 22 cents a gallon more than it does now.
Those are the predictions of Larry Meyer, director of fuel allocation for the Department of Energy in Kansas City, Mo.
THE GASOLOL SUPPLY should be adequate, he said, because there is now a 14-mile route to the gas plant here that were one year ago. Also, the nation's oil producers are refining 300,000 more barrels of oil.
Beyond that, people aren't using as much gasoline. Gas usage has dropped 7 to 8 percent around the country and is dropping more every round. Meyer said.
"This trend of less usage began last summer and should continue because of higher prices, smaller cars and a tighter economy," he said.
But decreased gas usage has had an adverse effect on gas stations because their profit margin on a gallon of gas is controlled
As a result, many gas stations have raised their other prices to compensate for their revenue profit from gasoline, according to Peggy Gay, public affairs specialist for Amoco.
by the DOE, Bob Bidwell, a DOE spokesman, said.
"It's a vicious circle for the major gas stations. They lose money if they don't raise accessory prices and they lose customers if they do raise prices," she said.
THE PROFIT MARGIN, which was set during the gas shortage of 1793, allows gas stations to make between 1 and 2 cents on a gallon of gas, Bidwell said.
Gas stations are only allowed to raise their gasoline prices when the refineries they buy gasoline from raise their prices, he said.
The refineries are also regulated by the DOE and can only raise their prices when crude oil prices or production costs increase. Bidwell said.
Therefore, gas stations are making the same profit on a gallon of gas as they were

in 1973, but are selling less gas and making less money than they were in 1973, he said.
IN A CHECK of eight local gas stations,
one with a 2000 watt motor, 10w0 hp,
a non-radial tire repair, labor on
an engine tum up and a lube job,
was determined to find out how much each item
could be replaced.
The oil increased 19 percent, the tire repair increased 22 percent, the tune up labor increased 16.7 percent and the lube job increased 30 percent.

Med Center custodians agree to AMS phase out
By GREG SACKUVICH Staff Reporter
The University of Kannas Medical Center custodians have agreed to the following arrangement: Management Services from its housekeeping department, Mike McCready, custodians union agent,
"It isn't a good plan, but we do want to work things out," he said.
LAST YEAR THE custodians on both campuses began to complain of harassment by AMS supervisors, said Francis Jacobs, union president. AMS allegedly increased the custodians' workloads and threatened to lay off them, lower-paid custodians to relocate them.
The Lawrence campus contract with AMS was not renewed when it expired last December.
Instead, the Med Center wants to phase AMS out over a period ending Jan. 1, Rodger Oroke, director of support services, said.
The University hired AMS to improve its housekeeping department at the Med Center in April 1977 and on the Lawrence campus in November 1978.
Jacobs said, "Why do they have to wait until the last minute to begin phasing AMS out?" They knew a few months ago they weren't to renew the contract."
The Med Center announced three months ago that it would not renew its contract with AMS when it expired April 30.
CHANCELLOR ARCHIE DYKES said
that the phasing-out plan could not begin until the present contract with AMS expired because funds were not available to hire new supervisors. He also said that the Med House should be given a housekeeping change during its accreditation inspection in November.
McCready said, "Our people are looking forward to AMS leaving. They might end up on the street on strike if they (AMS) are around after April 30."
The union is now willing to cooperate with the Med Center in the hope that the phasing-out process can be speeded up, McCready said.
Although they are cooperating, the union is not pleased with the plan, he said.
Some of the custodians went to ga on strike about two weeks ago but the union stopped them by refusing to sanction the strike, he said.
"The assistant managers will be hired first and then the manager will be hired. I think the manager should be able to hire his own assistants."
"MY MAIN COMPLIANT about the plan, aside from that it will take long, is that as they get rid of AMS supervisors the MEd center will hire improvements." McCready
"I think a strike will do more harm than good, but if more problems come up with the plan, there is always the chance there will be a strike."
