Wagon Wheel Cafe to Stay Open if Beer Kept Inside
Kansan Staff Reporter
By PAT NANCE
A compromise agreement has created a calm in the storm of complaints that threatened to close the Wagon Wheel Cafe, 511 W. 11th St., last month. The company said it reads: "Help us stay open. Keep the beer inside."
Neighbors complained that the actions of tavern customers caused a depreciation of their property values, trespassing and destruction of landscaping, traffic congestion, public drinking, usurpation of private parking, vandalism of private property, sanitation problems and too much noise.
Watson met with Police Chief Richard Stanwix,
"This is an emotional thing for the neighbors," city manager Buford M. Watson said Friday.
"Most of what college kids learn is not what's up on the Hill, but what's across the street," a student neighbor says. "The Wheel is an institution as much as the University is."

"I don't think we should have to tolerate these conditions. It's not anyone's right to be a mansure and annoy people," Lynch said. "I have a different view of the public right than he (Wooden) has." It is

an economic as well as a moral factor with me."
In the compromise agreement signed by Wooden and 10 landowners, Wooden promised to employ a person to keep order in the area by cleaning up litter, and to build a new building within the building, to ford beer to be taken out of the building, to lower the sound level of the joke box, and to obey all laws of the state and city as they govern.
Neighbors and landowners, in turn, agreed in the compromise to *forbear* in bringing suit to enjoin owners from renting land.

In an effort to meet promises made in the compromise agreement, Wooden hired a man who cleans up outside areas every morning. Bartenders were asked to pick up the area at night. Wooden has a camera to keep track of its volume. He keeps a man posted at the front door to prevent customers from carrying out beer.

There was a man at the door."
Watson said he hadn't heard any more complaints. "I don't know whether I've settled anything or not. Mr. Wooden is faced with a new group of students every year to train," he said.
Neighbors and tavern managers agreed that the small summer crowds have caused no problems. The test will come this fall with the influx of new and returning student customers, they said.
"We are going to insist that we have rights and privileges as taxpayers," Lynch said. "If he (women) keeps the contract, okay. If not, we're going to loosen the boom. I am not part of the silent majority."
Managers Say Students Pay Rent
Apartment Dwellers Pay on Time, Leave Some Damage
By RICK HIRD Kansan Staff Reporter
"Students come in here for a nine-month vacation from mom and dad and that's how they treat their apartments. I had some guys move out after they tore a whole wall and toore the kitchen cabinets off the wall. They left $15 for it—it cost $500."
Stan Lowe was almost physically upset. As manager of Frontier Ridge Apartments at Fifth St, and Frontier Rd., Love has had his problems with students. Asking him to recall the bad experiences exposed the other side of a generally friendly character.
"We're trying to get away from students, at least undergraduate students," he said. "We have several buildings that we rent to graduate students and married persons."
Love has experienced by far the worst luck of any apartment or trailer court managers contacted. Most area apartment courts have little serious trouble with student tenants.
Lowe confessed that, besides the remodeling attempt by the two young men, he hadn't seen any of them.
"You bet I've got problems with late rent," he said. "Rent is due on the first and delinquent after the fifth. I had 25 rents delinquent at least 10 days this month. About 55 per cent of my trouble comes from students."
Lowe said that he tried his best to treat students well and that he thought serious problems were a problem.
"We have no credit check because I don't feel as though I need one," he said. "You can pay the bill online."
a guy's got a record in five minutes because I have a lot of friends on the police force. Generally, I get along really well with all persons around here.
"We welcome all students here as long as they are responsible," he said. "I can help somebody out as long as he is sincerate. If the rent's late and I know about it in advance, let me give you $200 per month in late charges if I wanted to get about mean it but 'i don’t.'"
Webster, owner of Webster's Mobile and Modular Homes, 3409 W. Sixth St., said that in more than 20 years of renting to customers who own a home, pride of owning a mobile home eliminates trouble. Owen who go to mobile homes have a definite goal in mind with an ultimate payback. They are stiring for a return on investment, and normally have a well-planned budget.
Waiter's Tips Average $15 Day in Lawrence
By CARLA GUMP Kansan Staff Reporter
A tip for a waitress in a Lawrence eating establishment can mean 75 cents for a big meal or $3 for a cup of coffee.
Which kind of tipper are you? The president of Tippers International, John Schein, says that persons should stick to 15 to 20 per cent when tipping in any kind of eating place.
A survey of some Lawrence eating places shows that most Kansans aren't ideal tippers. In all the places, the salary of the waitress is almost totally dependent on the amount of gets. The average amount for tips in a day at nearly all the restaurants is $12 to $15.
Webster said that he didn't have a student renter who was behind on his rent in the building.
The weekend is always a better time for tips at most places. The out-of-town customers are preferred by many waiters and staff, so tips in larger amounts than local customers.
Becky Schonberg, who works as a waitress at Sambo's, 511 W. St. SR., said, "If a girl wants to flirt, she'll probably get a good tip."
At Don's Steak House, where Cathy Young is a waitress, one couple is known for always leaving a $3 tip, no matter how small the order may be.
One waitress said some customers would leave notes instead of money as a compliment. She also said the older, more exquisite waitress had better tips than the younger waitresses.
"We just don't have problems collecting rent," he said. "Any problems we had need to be solved."
C. W. Belsh, manager of Mobile Home Village II at Second and Arkansas streets, said that in eight years of associating with student renters, he had never had any serious trouble. He credits this success to careful screening of applicants.
Most of the waiters and waitresses said they couldn't always tell a big tipper from appearance alone. They said people driving sometimes were the poorest tippers.
Sharla Frazier, resident manager of University Terrace Apartments, at 1605 W. Ninth St., said the only significant problems experienced had been noise from extended parties.
Debbie Fair, a waitress at Village Inn, 821 Iowa St. received a $12 tip on one occasion and told the man that he had given her $12 instead of $3. He had given her a ten and three of three ones, by mistake. He took back the ten and gave her a one instead.
"We have several young freshmen here who have gotten out of hand at times," she said.
Some suggestions for getting good tips, according to waiters and waitresses, are to be friendly but not overly friendly, smile, be approachable, enjoy meeting and serving the customers.
A big tip can range from a dollar at &W Drive-In, 1415 W. 68 St., to five dollars for the full 13 per cent at Dons's Steak House, or for a big cup for a big order, but just for a cup of coffee.

In general, University of Kansas students are not known for giving good tips and in some places they're not known for giving any tips at all. Nancy Hammel, a waitress at Mr. Steak, 920 W. 23rd St., said students, especially the men, were poor tippers. She also said groups of ladies were the worst non-tippers.
Fireworks Not Banned for Fourth
WASHINGTON (AP)—The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission voted unanimously yesterday not to ban crackers before this coming Fourth of July.
The five commissioners agreed that objections from Chinese and U.S. manufacturers presented sufficient merit to delay the proposal, but delayed delay the proposed ban at least 30 days.
Earlier, the commission chairman, Richard O. Simpson, said in a telephone interview from Sacramento, Calif., that he personally thought a ban on crackers infringed upon individual and religious liberties.
"In the case of firecrackers," Simpson said, "I believe the risk is known; it's an amazing experience."
"There comes a point in time when the individual needs to make up his own mind in this country," he added; "it's an individual right to voluntarily assume the risk, and there are both religious and patriotic implications."
Simpson noted that he was the only member of the commission who opposed proposing the firecracker ban in the first place.
The proposed government crackdown drew strong opposition from Chinese and U.S. authorities, but the plained they might be stuck with $60 million worth of illegal items. Chinese-Americans in Hawaii also objected, saying fireworkers could destroy their religious and cultural celebrations.
A month ago the commission invited public comments on its plan to ban the sale and manufacture of firecrackers of all sizes at Monday midnight and to set new safety
The ban would apply only to firecrackers and not affect such things as fireworks
They asked for a 39-day stay of the proposed rules and a public hearing on the issue, claiming that firecrackers could be responsible to reduce hazards to "acceptable levels."
The commission has estimated that 6,600 persons were treated in hospital emergency rooms last year for firewrakers-related injuries. It said firecrackers accounted for a substantial number of the injuries, and the bulk of victims were under 15 years of age.
The manufacturers threatened to go to court to block the commission if their petition was rejected.
The American Pyrotechnics Association, representing most U.S. fireworks manufacturers, who do not make firecreakers, has supported the ban.
Last Friday the commission received a petition from a small group of Chinese and U.S. firms who manufacture one-third of the bottle rockets sold in the United States.
and labeling standards for all other types of fireworks. The firecracker ban would not apply to legitimate agricultural uses, such as scaring birds away from crop fields.
