T-Shirt Promotion for Whomper Fizzles
By LARRY GOLDSMITH Kansan Staff Writer
If the sale of Whomper T-shirts is any indication of the acceptance and popularity of the recycling center, then it is small. If the Whomper has had financial difficulties.
Only 72 of 750 promotional shirts that were printed have been sold, according to Kathy Allen, Toplea junior and director of the center. Allen said the shirts were purchased with a $1,952 loan from the city of Kansas Endowment Association.
The loan was taken out in the spring of 1971, and came due June 1, 1972, according to Irvin Youngblood, executive secretary of the FDIC. He paid only $134 had been repaid on the loan.
"It was our understanding that the Endowment Association sort of agreed to provide."
But she added that, "It is the feeling of the Whomper staff that we will nail it all back."
Youngberg said that the Endowment Association would assume the loan on the recommendation of Vice Chancellor Maurice, but that it had received no such request.
Balfour said he hoped the center would pay back the loan.
The shirts were been sold in the Kansas Union Bookstore and in local shops
for $2 each, but Allen said that they were sold for whatever price they would yield.
She said that the recycling center still had over 400 shirts, and that another 200 were in use.
The Kansas Union Bookstore sold 56 of the shirts and still has 88 on hamb, according to a bookstore spokesman. She said the rest be picked up by the Reclamation Center.
“There’s a possibility we sold one,” said

"We didn't have any luck with them at all." John Willhite, the owner of John Barleycorn, said. "We've had them for about six months and haven't sold a one."
These results were echoed by other merchants who tried to sell the shirts. Merchants said they even tried to sell the items sold at the store. Some merchant donated display snares.
Most of the money supporting the Whom comes from the Student Senate,
"Students have supported the Whomper long enough," she said.
She said she would recommend a budget of $2,500 next year and would include a recommendation that the center never come to the senate for money again.
"My immediate goal is to make it a
However, Lawrence City Manager Buford Watson said Tuesday that the center would have to expand its operations before city support could be gained.
Allen said he envisioned possible support from the city of Lawrence in the future.
Allen said she was concerned about the financial situation.
"It's going to have to make a significant impact on what we have to dispose of," he
"We're trying to piece things together," she said. "Our budget is looking at a lot better, but we still need more money."
She said a lack of publicity had hampered success of the Whomper. A "Whomper week" was planned, she said, but details are very, very hazy.
community service and a community responsibility," she said.
"She said the deficit was the result of poor handling by past directors, and cited a lack of proper bookkeeping and recording of expenses.

The reclamation center sells crushed glass, steel and aluminum to firms that process it further. Crushed glass and crushed steel are sold for $20 a ton; crushed steel is sold for $45 a ton. This money goes to pay staff members and maintain the machine, Allen said.
"Whomper days" also are planned at local grade schools. Allen said that participating students would spend several hours canvassing the neighborhood around their school for cans and bottles that could be recycled.
The city of Lawrence produces 90 tons of waste daily, Watson said. He said he foresaw a time when such a facility would be necessary, but pointed to problems of sorting the refuse and the prohibitive cost of a suitable facility.

Parents were forced to walk on campus with their children when the chain was across the drive, she said. On icy days, parents had trouble walking to the center, especially when they had to take more than one child, Bencivengo said.

In the past, scholarship hall applicants were taken from financial aid applications, but Bencivengo said that a new, separate application was in use this year. This means that the form must be interested enough in the scholarship halls to fill out a separate form, he said.
According to Bencivengo, the school of Bencivengo did not belong to the School of Religion.
A chain had been put across the drive intermittently, preventing parents from unloading their children in front of the day after the excavation envojo had said earlier this semester.
"The School of Religion is unyielding and I am convinced they just don't care." Bencivengo said. "I don't even want to bother with them anymore."
Last week, staff members of the School of Religion met with Hilltop staff to discuss the parking problem, she said. However, they also complained by the meeting, Bencivengo said.

The School of Religion staff stated the incidents involved in the dispute, she said, and that no more than two people were involved.
He said that the system had changed its application form this year and this change would probably result in fewer applications, but he said that it will be more interested and committed people.
The staff of Hilltop Day Care Center will no longer meet with the staff of the Kansas School of Religion to try to solve a parking issue on campus. The city clerk, chicago, director of Hilltop, said Monday
Hilltop Instructors Give Up on Parking
When the day care center was established last fall, the parking lot belonging to the center was made into a playground to comply with state requirements. Since then, the building was to the front of the building through a drive that belongs to the School of Religion.
Parents' use of the drive and limited parking facilities behind the School of Religion had caused many problems, Taylor had said earlier this semester.
The scholarship hall system also showed a slight change, according to Frank Bencivengo, assistant to the dean of men in charge of men's scholarship halls.
Lynn Taylor, dean of the School of
Ballition, could not be reached Monday for
information.
The parents' cars in the lot had caused congestion and sometimes the School of Religion staff were unable to use the lot at all. Taylor said.
He said the congestion had caused automobile collisions in the lot.

the population is stable and allows housing to do more for the bells.
She said that such an increase could help sororites and fraternities in financial difficulties, although some had full houses and still had money troubles.
Benciviego said Monday that she would try to make arrangements with the city to provide an area on Louisiana Street to be a home for parents for children attending Hilltop.
The slight increase was reflected in other organized living groups on campus.
Terry Edwards, assistant to the dean of women in charge of sororites, said, "We had an increase in January of 13 per cent in the number of people who registered for rush and an increase of 11 per cent in the number who pledged."
"There is the realization that the University is more than just what you learn in school."
She attributed the increase to a renewed interest in organized living groups and the support students could derive from such a living arrangement.
She said prospects for obtaining a loading zone for the day care center were not good. However, she said, receiving the cooperation of the School of Religion would probably be harder than obtaining a loading zone from the city.
To get permission to make a loading zone in front of the center, Bencivengo said, she must first talk to the Lawrence chief of police. She must then make her request for the zone to the Lawrence City Commission, she said.

"The Norwegian Products with a World-Wide Reputation"
Today's youthful search for a better quality of life—for credibility, reliability, integrity—for pleasure and enjoyment—harmonizes with Tandberg's own goal: to build these same qualities into each of our products and into the life of those who make and use them.
Tandberg products--receivers, amplifiers, radios, speakers, tape machines—are dynamic, active entities. They provide communication; they establish contact, disseminate information, and create inspiration through the gift of sound.
If better quality is to be achieved, the process of that achievement should be enjoyed as much as the end result. When it comes to products there must be as much pleasure taken in producing the best as there is in owning the best. Both producer and owner must share in the enthusiasm of the search for quality.
Tandberg does not make products for their own sake. Tandberg produces instruments to generate pleasure, enthusiasm and inspiration—instruments for enrichment, instruments for enjoyment.
