Jayhawk Facelift
Frank Unford, Building and Grounds heavy equipment operator, directs the progress of the grader that leveled a bump in Jayhawk Blvd. in front of Strong Hall. The work was
planned about three weeks ago, but the material was too hard to work with until the recent heat wave.

Local Book Tastes Varied
"We've sold about 250 copies since June 21, which is a large number for us," said Joe McKown, assistant manager of the Oread Book Shop in the Kansas Union.
The Town Crier, 930 Massachusetts St.,
reported that almost 400 copies of the book
"It's interesting that it's not just college students that buy his books," said Diane Finley, an employee of the Town Crier. "There's a variety in all age limits."
ALTHOUGH "The Gulg Archipelago" is selling more books than is average at the bookstore chain that runs an Internet shopping Center, "Plain Speak biography of Harry Truman by Merle Miller, has been the top seller for the past weeks, John Musgrove, an employee, sold."
Trends come and go, McKown said. "The White House Transcripts" by the New York State's residential Transcripts' by the Washington Post are good examples of this, he said.
"Last May, for several weeks, we went into battle 25 or 30 years said. Through 25 or a four or a week."
WASHINGTON (AP) - Safeway Stores Inc., the nation's largest supermarket chain, announced yesterday it would stop following the traditional industry practice of marking up prices on food already stocked on shelves.
Safeway Says Price Markups To Stop Soon
The company, which has 1,950 stores coast to coast selling more than $6.7 billion worth of food annually, also that can saturates the grocery store one price will be sold at the lowest prices.
The new Safety policy on pricing meats, groceries, produce and nonfood products will be published in September.
The National Association of Food Chains, representing 200 companies with 20,000 stores and $40 billion in annual sales, called Safeway's action a "gutsy move" that probably would force competitors to follow suit.
"The repricing of inventory has been controversial for some time," said Dr. Kent Christensen, the trade association's vice president and economist.
"This may help quiet consumer concern that stores have been profiteering," he said. "The public reactes strongly to this, I would expect customers to do the same thing to be competitive."
Science fiction is always popular, McKown said, particularly Robert A. Heinlein, author of "Stranger in a Strange Time" and "Time Enough for Love" and others.

That's how much Richard Dumplop figures it costs per person to eat on a backpacking trip, an inexpensive summer trek for the family. The trip can be as near as your own back yard or as far into the wilderness as your budget or your endurance will allow.
"You must have good, nourishing food," says Dunlap, a veteran outdroom从—would you believe—Chicago. "It's like putting ice into a car. You need energy to hike."
"University of Kansas: A History," but if they sell anywhere, they should sell here.
Finley said that at the Town Crier "The Joy of Sex" was selling well. She said the store was usually out of "Playboy" and "Playgirl" by the end of the month.
Summer Backpacking Inexpensive Vacation
"Men pack with the heaviest stuff at the top because they have strong shoulders," said Dunlap. "But women should pack with the heaviest resting against the small of the back."
One point Dumlop emphasizes that no one should carry more than he can, and the pack should be well fitted and properly distributed.
It's not gourmet fare. Breakfast might be dried fruit and grain. Lunch could be a stick of hard salami. Dinner probably would consist of one dish, or one pot. Liquids always are light to avoid nausea, and booze of any kind is a no-oo. You're hiking, not bar-hopping, and literally everything you own is on your back.
"Backpacking is advanced camping," said Dunlop, "and unlike the movie entrance, backpacking, hiking, canoeing, swimming. Yourself as a man but to relate to nature."
Dunlap says a family should either make a dry run in the back yard or take a one- or two-day trip before embarking on a long excursion.
DUNLOP, who has used his experiences with nature to write a guide to outdoor recreation, says weekend heroes need not attempt a family backpacking trip, nor should preschool children. They should be enough to shoulder a share of the burden.
He says the proper equipment includes a couple of tents costing $50 each.

"I believe in privacy, an there no need to fight mosses," Dumpl says. Pack

frames that fit the back back, costing $35 to $45 each are also needed, as is modest shoes and good shoes costing about $20. Sneakers such as long pants with no cuffs, a long-sleeved shirt and a sweater tied around the neck are recommended. And don't forget the food.
A word about food: "Be sensible. If you're close to civilization and you see a fast-food chain, by all means stop. Don't think you have to eat only what you brought."
"The teachers here are not gods as in my country," said a Spanish student. "It's very hard, like this—what do you say—communication between students and teachers."
University," a West German student said. "They wear shirts with the Jaawk and seem really to identify with the University. In Germany, the students look at the university as a part of the state administration."

"I think that young people in the U.S. have reached a level of security materiality," said Sama. "They realize now that that's not enough to make life worthwhile. They are trying. So we can expect something good."
"I tried not to have fixed judgments before coming here," said Sawario Sanna of Italy. "As far as Lawrence is concerned, we know that it's true." That is a good idea about Lawrence.
Several students said they hadn't been in America long enough to know for certain that they were still at school.

Westergren is acting director of the observatory while Stephen J. Shawl, assistant professor of physics and astronomy and director of the observatory, is on vacation. Westergren said Shawl was KU's only astronomer.
The most recent time the observatory was open to the public was in June. There will be an open house before the end of summer and, if said, but the date has not yet been decided.
Poetry and music are among the favorite subjects of many students, according to Finley. The books of a new poet, Diane Wakosh, have been particularly popular, and especially "Dancing on the Grave of a O.B." and "The Motorcycle Betrayal Books."
He said that during the academic year, four or five of the faculty and teaching assistants actively used the observatory. He said that advanced undergraduate students must participate in an observatory, along with 40 to 50 students in an introductory astronomy laboratory course.

The observatory has three telescopes, Westergren said. The newest, an 8-inch Celestron, is a portable telescope, set on a pier on the south roof of Lindley Hall for laboratories. It is also used for field expeditions.
The University of Kansas Observatory to essentially a student research and training facility, Gary Westgren, research in physics and astronomy, said recently.
Finley also said that anything to do with the environment or ecology sold well. Books about crafts, cooking and houseplant care are popular, she said.
The second telescope, a six-inch Alvin Clark Refractor, was built in 1885 and since the year 2015 it is operated by the National Astronomical Observatory.

The variety of books available in the area beckon it is matched by the variety of people who bring them.

The drives are mechanical or electronic devices that allow the telescope to compensate for the effects of the earth's rotation and thus allow an object in the sky observed continuously for several hours without correcting the telescope's position.
The third telescope, a 27-inch William F. Reflector, is the main research instrument.
A major problem for astronomers, Westgren said, is "astronomical seeing," which is "due to the heat waves in the atmosphere" causing heating in which the telescope is located.
To care for the observatory, Westergreen said, the lenses of the telescopes must be cleaned twice a year, and the drives and mirrors are be oiled and mechanical repairs made.
He said "seeing" causes imprecise measurements because the stars twinkle, and it doesn't allow precise photography of the surface.
