Ticket office seasons start early

Although the first game is more than six months away, the 1980 football season already has begun for the KU athletic department ticket office, which will send copies of tickets to the printer in the next month, according to Nancy Welsh, ticket manager.
Ordering, verifying, and distributing tickets for football and other sports is an important part of the ticket manager's job. Wash her and staff is, almost year-round.
Ticket colors and designs are decided by Welsh after she meets with athletic department staff members and printers.
"We discuss it at staff meetings. It's open to suggestion and input. We also comply with the approval of Mr. (Athletic Director Bob) Marcum who have advice from the team," he said.
TICKET DESIGN usually does not change much from year to year and no major changes will be made in 1800 football team uniforms, adds to ticket printing costs. Welsh said.
"Since I've been here, we've tried to carry on without redressing tickets each year," she said. "The only time I would get into a major change would be when there was
some information that we're needing or wanting to add that we can't fit on the current set-up.
"The colors we try to keep with are red, blue and yellow. Our red, blue and yellow stands out and makes a really attractive ticket."
Incorporating the athletic department theme also is considered. This year's theme has been. "Make it Happen at KU."
For most reserved-seat tickets for football, basketball and the Kansas Relays, printing is a two-step process.
Weldon, Williams & Lick, a Fort Smith, AR, print, firms the tickets. The KU Computer Center adds specific section, row, and seat holder information to the tickets.
WELSH SAID that reserved-seat football tickets had been printed by that process for three years, but that this was the first year they would buy basketball tickets had been printed that way.
Unreserved-seat tickets, including student season basketball tickets, are printed by the University Printing Service, she said.
Welsh said the computer printing system had greatly reduced the number of man-hours needed to collate season tickets and send billins to ticket holders.
Under the new system, Welsh said, season tickets were printed in individual sheets.
with a ticket to each game on one sheet.
Before, tickets to each game were printed in separate books, and season tickets had to be pulled and collated by hand.
"It took the major part of the summer to pull all the tickets out of the books and collate them and send them out. We used to have the tickets here in May," she said.
NOW, THE COMPUTER does all that. In addition, she said, the computer prepares bills notices and reminder notices that once had to be done manually.
"As far as I'm concerned," Welsh said, "it's been 99½ percent successful. It takes several steps out of the billing process and moves me into the month August to get your everything done."
She said that ticket printing costs had increased under the system but that they were offset by reduced labor costs.
"I would have to cost more because it's a more complex system. But I'd think the weighing out of cost is fairly equal. To do that, it would require a lot more man-hours," she said.
Welsh said the Arkansas firm charged about $4,900 to print 45,000 football tickets and the same amount for 10,000 basketball tickets.
BASKETBALL TICKETS were comparatively more expensive, she said.
because they had to be redesigned for the system and because there were twice as many games as football.
Welsh sport football tickets would go to Welden some time in the next 30 days. It can be purchased online or printed, but only about 10 hours for the computer center to add specific seat and time information.
Ticket ordering and distributing is an ongoing process for the ticket office.
Schedules, brochures and other information about football were ordered in January.
Tickets, brochures and other promotional information for the Kansas Relays are ordered in February, and the office tries to print the order by printing by the end of the month. Welsh said
In April and May the ticket office begins to process football season ticket orders, reminder notices to past ticket holders and billing notices.
In June, special ticket plans, such as discounts for senior citizens and general admission tickets, are ordered from the printing service.
Basketball season begins in July for the office, which orders schedules and matches. The team plays in inaugurated form in August, and ticket orders are processed in September and October, Welsh
set-ups for President Carter and California
Gov. Joe Brown went almost unnoticed

Kennedy...
Men and women of all ages stood in hallways hoping for a glimpse of Kennedy.
But Kennedy bumper stickers, buttons, pamphlets and straw hats were everywhere.
A young pony-tailed girl in a fire-colored dress and a white top blazoned with "Kennedy-80" hurried around the hotel, her autograph book firmly in hand.
He made momentary appearances at a meeting of Kansas' Democratic state senators, who visited the Central City, a group of Kansas Democrats who have donated at least $100 each to the
"INST THE GORGEOUS," said one teenager when Kennedy finally arrived, almost an hour late, surrounded by gray-suited men with wires in their ears.
"He's very,very attractive," confided an elderly woman to a friend, "but he doesn't look like John."
Hundreds waited hours in rooms where Kennedy was expected and left moments after he did.
The Grand Ballroom where the Century Club met has a capacity of 600, but the guard at the door said there were 2,500 people inside by the time Kennedy arrived.
"They couldn't pay me $100 to go in there," said one man. "There's not an inch of room."
Dozens more gathered outside, many trying unsuccessfully to talk their way in to see Kennedy.
SOME 1,300 PEOPLE attended the dinner—1,000 of them paying $7.50 for a meal of sirion steak, green beans, baked potato, salad and cherry pie.
Another 300 paid $4 to stand.
The 50 or so media members off to one side seemed bored by Kennedy's speech. They were the particularly two dozen who travel with the senator.
"It was your typical stump speech," said John Gage, Kennedy's press secretary. "He, and everybody else, knows it by heart."
That didn't seem to bother the crowd however. Despite an early blunder—he called BJ boy, former U.S. congressman, be on his knees and brought up appeal nearly a dozen times.
“He was certainly impressive,” said Carter supporter Dave Engel of Manhattan. “He gave a very good speech.”
Shelters located in 36 buildings
On the KU campus 36 buildings are designated as shelters by the Douglas County Community Shelter Plan. Among the buildings listed as shelters are the following: the University residence halls. The shelters in these buildings are in areas below ground level.
In the event of a tornado warning, an

alarm will sound and people in the buildings designated as shelters will be instructed to go to the shelter area, according to the plan.
Besides tornados, the shelters also would be used in the event of floods, severe winter storms, hurricanes and other natural disasters, plan people should bring food, water, blankets and any necessary medicine when needed.
The community shelter plan was designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s, said Jerry Adams, director of the
Corp's division of plans and preparedness. At that time the main concern was protection from a nuclear attack.
Because of this, the plan concentrates on what to do in case of a nuclear attack, he said.
Food, such as crackers and water, were stored in the shelters in the 1860s. The food was made available, Travis Brann, director of the Douglas County Division of Emergency Services.
This food was removed from the shelters in the early 1970s when it was more than 10 years old, he said. He only radios and a radiation monitor are kept in the shelters.
In case of an attack, food will be gathered if possible and Red Cross workers and police will be stationed at each shelter. Bran said.
Each of the buildings listed as shelters by the plan have been chosen because they provide a suitable shelter. This means it is 40 times safer inside the shelter than outside in case of a nuclear attack.
--pads and blocks!
The current shelter plan was last updated in 1971. Brann said he would like to have the plan updated again as soon as the money for the upgrade available by the Kansas Legislature.

TONITE and EVERY MONDAY EVENING
Some apartment renters forget to lock all doors and windows, Hoefer said. About half of all burglaries in Lawrence last year were caused by unauthorized doors, which had unlocked doors and windows.
MOST STUDENT apartment complexes have wall-mounted windows. Sliding doors and windows pose no threats to burglaries. Hofer suggested using a lead pipe in the track of a sliding door or buying a steel fence.
Prevention
From page one
Hoefer said at least four or five burglaries were committed each month at the apartment complexes in town. Most of the victims are students.
"Having things engraved helps," Hofer said. "It makes people think twice, and stolen property is easier for the owner to recover."
"After we engraved property last month there has been only one burial committed at the complex. That apartment had a brick wall on it." The items taken were things not engraved. "That bed was
"People don't take the time to know their neighbors, and with people constantly moving out, no one there is gone to look at them. We always have a student in KU'S School of Social Welfare.
Also, a constant flow of tenants keeps old keys in circulation and increases the likelihood of thefts.
Hoefer said the crime prevention unit would lend enravers to use at home.
"The service is for anyone who wants it. It's absolutely free." he said.
"All the methods that restrict man don't apply to me." Taitsu once claimed.
Murase Taitisu, 1803-1881, was an unconventional man in a conventional culture - 19th century Japan.
Oriental artist's work displayed at Spencer
"A Japanese Eccentric," an exhibition of work by Stephen Addis, the only artist of Oriental display in the White Gallery of the Helen Foreman Spencer Museum of Art until 2018.
Addis organizes the exhibition, the first ever seen outside Japan, in the museum's 10th anniversary of Tailuista death. It was first on view at the New Orleans Museum of Art from 2014 to 2017.
Taiitsu was a master of painting, poetry and calligraphy.
Born in a farming village, Taituis received a Confucian education. He made his liv
ing first as a Confucian teacher and later as an instructor of calligraphy.
"Taitsiu was a man educated for a world that disappeared in his old age," Addiss said.
He led a bizarre life from social conventions. His daughters, accustomed to his ways, could not adjust to the outside world, none had a successful marriage, Adissa said.
Taitius didn't drink, but he was noted for the swirls of smoke that emanated from his oversized pipe. He also was known for making "wind" at any occasion, Addiss said.
Tailus's eccentric behavior made him a local celebrity, but he was not appreciated for his art until after his death.
