New Tennis Courts to Alleviate Constant Congestion
Eight new courts will be constructed southwest of Robinson Gymnasium
The Committee on Indian Affairs at the University of Kansas is working on two projects in conjunction with Dyche Museum of Natural History.
New Indian Projects at Museum
A program for 6- to 8-year-olds is being planned by Ona Keltcher, Lawrence student, of the University of Texas at Austin, man, for 10:30 a.m. to noon May 12 and 19. Keltcher said the program would attempt to show American Indian culture and how Native Americans differ from people in other cultures.
In the program a film will show how Eskimo parents relate to their children and the world around them, she said. Several books that tell how nature is integrated into Indian life will be given to participants, Keltcher said.
The Committee on Indian Affairs has already begun work on an exhibit of pre-Columbian native cultural areas, Keltcher said.
The exhibit, which is in the final stages, according to Kelcher, has a map locating nine North and Central American geographical regions. Pictures have been drawn to display physiuse, home, dress and of Indian inhabitants of each region.
Philip Humphrey, director of the museum and professor of systematics and ecology, said he had written to the National Endowment of the Arts asking for specific reasons for the rejection but had not yet received a reply.
Another project, which was aimed at improving the fifth floor exhibits on American Indians was denied federal funding of the construction of the Arts in early March. she said.
Humphey said that one option left was to work by bits and nieces.

Price of Onions May Rise Because of Texas Weather
This year seems to be the year of the shortage. Now onions are in short supply and tomatoes are in large demand.
There are three reasons for the onion shortage: "A greatly reduced onion reserve from last year's crop, a reduction in onion acreage, and then a lot of bad weather in Texas," says a U.S. Department of Agriculture employe.
Safeway's onions sell for 59 cents a pound and "they have been sending as far away as New Zealand to get their onions," says Bill W. 23rd St. to produce edible Safeway, 71 W. 23rd St.
"They seem to be going up every day," says an employee, the shop is selling the onions for 45 cents a pound but he says the price will probably go up.
Rusty's, 991 Iowa St., has been getting its onions from Texas. Bud Woodward, in the produce department of Rusty's, says he thinks that the price of onion may go up even more because of the short supply. Rusty's onions are selling for 39 cents a pound.
the museum associates, said interested persons could sign up in the gift shop to reserve space for the Saturday morning Indian programs. The fee is $2.50 for members of the museum associates and $3.50 for nonmembers.
Most of the grocery stores in the Lawrence area say that their onions have been continually going up for the past three months, but they have not had any difficulty getting them.
The Northside Country Shop, 707 N. 2nd St. buys its onions at Kansas City.
A total of $3,500 in prize money and an expense-paid trip to Europe has been offered in an essay contest sponsored by the Library Association in West Branch, Iowa.

The topic for the contest, which is funded by a grant from the Garvey Foundation of Wichita, will be "The Moral Imperative of Enterprise System of Risks and Rewards."
Some people have been using a soybean substitute for onions, but because of heavy rains in the Mississippi River valley the mean crop this year may also be very slim.
The museum associates sponsor museum programs and help support the museum, Mountford said. There are approximately 150 members. A membership drive is planned to increase membership to 300, she said.
this summer when the new Texas crop comes on the market.
Applications for the contest must be submitted by June 1. Application forms and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association, West Branch, Iowa. Essays must be submitted by Sept. 15.
Usually the market is flooded with onions by late March, but this year, because of the bad weather in Texas, the onions have just started coming on the market.
To alleviate congestion at tennis courts in Lawrence and at the University of Kansas, eight new courts will be constructed to the southwest of Robinson Gymnasium by according to Keith Lawton, University director of facilities planning and operations.
New Courts To Be Built Near Gym
All citizens of the United States and Canada born in 1944 or after are eligible.
The onion market will not improve until
Several tennis players at KU said they thought that the tennis courts in Lawrence were not worth it.
During the day, many players are required to leave the KU courts so that tennis classes and the tennis team may use the courts.
Dean Baird, Holsington sophomore, said,
"There are just not enough courts in Lawrence. In nice weather everyone is out playing and you have to wait too long. What courts there are available are not kept in good shape."
"There are just not enough University courts," said Dennis Lingle, Shawnee Mission senior. "Other schools have many more courts available for the students."
The Pi Sigma Alpha political science Honorary Awards Banquet was Tuesday night in the Kansan Room in the Kansas Union.
Larry Henderson, Abilene graduate student, "I've had trouble playing for five years. It's just a hazard of going to KU."
At night courts fill early and waiting lines form. Nine courts at KU are lighted until midnight, and five courts in city parks remain lighted until 11 p.m.
Awards presented included a $2,500 Litchfield Fellowship presented to John Donroe, Lawrence graduate student; a $1,300 Harris Dissertation Award presented to James Curry, Lawrence graduate student; a $250 Girls State Award for the Outstanding Junior Mission presented to Debra Byars, Shawne Mission, a $500 Gustafson Award for the Inwarding Ignition Boy presented to the Paxman Academy Spy Spike Pi Tigra Alpha Award for Outstanding Senior, presented to John Masterson, Falls Church Va.
Faculty awards for outstanding seniors were presented to Mike Sundermeyer, Raytown, Mo.; Thomas Page, Wichita; and James Gugleta, Wichita. Each will receive a one year's subscription to a scholarly journal.
