Theaters see SUA as competitor
By JUDITH LYNN HOWARD Staff Reporter
Everything doesn't glitter behind the silver screen. The theater business involved booking films with distributors, promoting them at the box office, up the popcorn and facing the commotion.
Eldon Harwood, district manager of the eight Lawrence Commonwealth Theaters, said recently that any bids for en-

tertainment—even films by Student Union Activities—were considered competition by Commonwealth.
"Anybody who competes for entertainment time, whether they are a beer joint or whatever, is competing for the time as well as the business," he said.
But Katherine Gile, assistant director of the Kansas Union, said that SUA students were intended only for the people on campus who were willing to tryrying to appeal to anyone but KU students.
Last month, the bookings nearly did.
STEVE EADS, manager of Commonwealth's Varsity Theater, 101 Massachusetts St., said, "I don't care what happens as long as the bookings don't coincide."
SUA and Commewithbook books nearly coincided when the "Rocky Hour Picture Show" was scheduled to be shown at the UCLA gym on March 1 at the midnight showings.
Harwood said that when Commonwealth discovered that SUA planned to show "Rocky Horror," the Varsity Theater showing was canceled.
"Rocky Horror" also was scheduled at the Varsity Theater.
When SUA canceled, Harwood said, Commonwealth rescheduled its booking and showed "Rocky Horror" that weekend.
SUA ALSO CANCELED the movie the week before it was to be shown, saying that its "districtator failed us."
Dow Cornet, SA midnight films chairman, said he had booked "Rocky Horror" for SUA and that he did not know why the film had been cancelled.
"I wasn't pleased at all."he said.
"It worked fine then," he said.
He said that the film had been shown simultaneously last year by SUA and Hillier Theater. Ninth and fowls streets, he said, had to be turned away from the SUA theater.
Cowart said that in scheduling the film or other films, there was no thought about competing with Commonwealth.
But he said competition did exist when good films were playing at both places.
GIELE SAID that 16-milimeter theaters were restricted to advertising only in campus publications and admitting only faculty and staff to movie showings.
SUA schedules popular films as part of its film series. It is a 16-millimeter market, meaning it has 18-millimeter projectors.
However, Giele said, films scheduled by SUA are frequently cancelled by the distributor if the movie is to be re-released to the 35-millimeter market.
"Distributors reserve the right to book movies to whom they want. The release it first to the 35-millimeter market," she said.
Union, county to decide custodial service future
A decision on the future of the University of Kansas Medical Center housekeeping department is expected to be reached today.
The Med Center's housekeeping contract with American Management Services expire April 17, but the合同于2024年4月到期。Gerole. director of support services said.
The custodian's union and the Warehouse Board will meet to discuss a new contract, Francis Jacobs, president of the Kansas Public Service Employees Union, said.
Jacobs said it was possible that AMS would be phased out until the Med Center could assume direct control of the housekeeping department.
The Med Center must advise the state
division of purchasing and accounts of its plans 90 days before the acceptance of a contract. Jacobs said.
But KU has not yet told the division of its plans even though the contract expires in less than one month, Jacobs said. The program at the Med Center is still being studied.
Jacobs said that because of this, it would be easier for the Med Center to gradually take over the housekeeping and assume complete control on April 1.
KU had a housekeeping contract with AMS on the Lawrence campus, but it was not renewed when it expired last November.
At that time there were complaints by the custodians concerning alleged harrassment of employees by AMS.
Regents to request more phone bill money
By CINDY WHITCOMBE
Staff Reporter
The Board of Regents decided Friday to request more than $1 million from the Kansas Legislature to cover 50 percent of the costs for Regents schools over the next two years.
The increase, which affects commercial businesses and industries, was initiated last month by the Kansas Corporation Company, Southwestern Bell Telephone Company.
The additional costs require $345,901 more than had been budgeted for the rest of this fiscal year and $281,902 more for next year.
The Board had built a 7 percent increase into next year's budget, Gee Smith, Larson Regent told the board members, but it had underestimated the telephone rate increase.
The University of Kansas will receive $219,397 this year and $501,303 next year if the funds are approved. The money would be used to cover telephone equipment and
KANS-A-N line costs for the Lawrence campus and the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
THE BOARD ALSO requested the Kansas administration to appoint a project coordinator for the construction of a continuing education center at KU. Federal funds $23,000 were required.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes told the Board he was skeptical about additional funds for the center.
The proposed center would serve all of Kansas, not just KU. Dykes told the Board.
Dykes also asked the Board to consider at its next meeting a new payment plan for veterans attending KU on the GI Bill.
THE PLAN would allow veterans to pay enrollment fees in two installments because some do not receive their checks by the enrollment deadline.
The plan, effective next fall, would require the school to hire an additional enrollment fees when they enroll on Oct. 10 for the fall semester, by March 10 for the spring semester and by July 10 for the fall semester.
"With the mood of the federal government these days, I doubt that a lot of federal funds will be given for the project," Dykes said.
The Board approved four building drawings for the renovation and were approved and the Board directed Design/Build Architects to prepare con-
sua films

The board also approved final plans for the remodeling of Summerfield Hall.
THE BOARD APPROVED a building committee amendment to its 18th budget request for the City of Iowa to entrance to KU at 15th and Iowa streets. The cost of the project is $10,000 and would be funded by donations.
The purchase of four trucks, a total of $85,500, was approved by the Board. The trucks would be used by the Water Department of the Kansas Geological Survey.
It was announced that Jordan Haines, chairman of the board, would attend KU's graduation May 19 and make comments on behalf of the Board.
The Board also heard a report from Tom Rawson, Regents research officer, stating that enrollment at Regent schools had increased over last spring in 2,842 students.

KU had the largest increases.
