they have, what kind of service and what their unions are. That is human nature."
The Holiday will also have the advantage of having a promotional staff actively soliciting business. The Union doesn't do that, he said, because it is a private, non-profit corporation whose sole purpose is to provide services for the University.
"That doesn't mean that we don't appreciate others using our facilities," he said. "We don't deny that, but we don't actively compete with other businesses."
ONE ADVANTAGE THE UNION may have over the Holdeme is the cost of the Union's facilities. The services provided by the Union must be less than those of the Holdeme, Ferreron said.
Because the Union is a non-profit corporation, its emphasis is on service rather than profit motivation, Ferguson said. The Union tries to provide its services at the lowest possible price.
"We set our prices based upon the cost of our operations, trying to provide service to the client at the most reasonable price."
The Union's prices should be competitive also by increasing the rates of inflation, be larger than those of the Holidore, he said.
FERGUSON STRESSED THAT THE UNION was not trying to compete with local businesses. He said the "town-gown" relationship has been good and the Union wants to keep it that way.
After the novelty of the Holidome wears and when the price factor is considered, many groups that initially go to the Holidome may return to the Union, he said.
"They will go out there one or two times to see what it is like, but we think they will come back
to the Union because it will be less expensive," he said.
The effects of the Holidome on the Union's business will not be entirely negative, he said. More people will be coming to Lawrence because of the Holidome.
The shuttle bus service will be bringing some of the Holidome's guests to the campus, and will not have to worry about parking, he said.
"They may come into the Union and buy food and refreshments," he said. "They might buy soup."
Nearly half of the Union's income comes from the sale of books, he said.
The Union may lose some of its business to the Holdione, Ferguson said, but the Union's competitive power and the additional traffic on its roads could offset some of the losses that may be incurred.

ALTHOUGH SOME LOCAL organizations will not reduce heat assistance services, at least one agency, East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation, has already felt the effects of the Reagan administration's budget cuts.
"Last year," said ECKAN employee Diane Stephens, "we were able to give some assistance by providing fans and air conditioners. This year our weatherization program has lost 27 ember savings. The budget cuts, as probably won't be able to do that much if the weather stays hot."
JoAnna Byers, employee at the Lawrence office of the American Red Cross, is also concerned about the effect that budget cuts might on heat assistance and other social programs.
"Because funds will be given to the states in the form of block grants," said Byers, "the cuts,
which are now projected at 15 percent, will accrue $80 million. The states杰 get paying administrative costs.
Byers said that the Red Cross in Lawrence will open the Community Building, 11th and Vermont streets, for use as a heat shelter if the weather stays hot.
The theater was also used for community events. According to Lawrence residents Lucille Sanders, 83, and her sister, Mildred Frederick, 91, who grew up on a Dutch-style dance for the community there.

Opera
"It used to be such a beautiful building." Sanders said. "The front of it was so pretty."
Topeka radio station WREN later held dance contests there. Jansen said.
Topless, saddened and more than contests there, Jansen said.
In 1930, the Bowersock Theater became the Dickinson Theater. In 1940, it changed again to be a Broadway playhouse.
THE BUILDING REOPENED IN 1980 as the Red Dog Inn. It later became the Free State Opera House, then first opened as the Lawrence Opera House in 1975. From January 1976 to January 1979, she named Buggy's occupied building. Finally, in 2004, she present Lawrence Opera House was established.
"There are fewer than 10 buildings in Lawrence that have the history of that building."
On the Record
Lawrence police are investigating a larceny that occurred at a Haskell Indian Junior College dormitory sometime between May 25 and June 6. Property worth $3,653 was stolen.
Police said that the larcenist broke into the dormitory and stole several pieces of turquise and Indian jewelry.
LAWRENCE POLICE ARE ALSO investigating the Thursday afternoon burglary of a house at 202er Barker St., from which at least $360 worth of property was stolen.
I once said the burglar entered through a bedroom window and took a stereo receiver worth $550 and a 14-karat gold wedding ring, the value of which was not listed.
Police have no suspects.

Ed Boles, a local architect who has conducted walking tours of the Lawrence downtown area, called the style of the building "low-key Beaux Arts."
He pointed out the set of paired columns with the arch between them, the pediment and the manner in which those two features projected from the building as tricolor of that style.
Other points of interest are the masks of
the lye and the lye, which are
found within the pediment.
The site at Seventh and Massachusetts streets was not always used for entertainment purposes. According to Scott's book, it first served as a hardware store for the firm of Alen and Gilmore in 1854. Later that year, the abolitionist Isaac Shelby founded the Society of the Herald of Freedom was burned in Sheriff Jones' 1856 aid by pro-slavery looters from Leavenworth.
"The building really needs some exterior stabilization," he said. "The most conspicuous evidence of that is the truss supporting the pediment."
LATER THAT YAY, Liberty Hall was erected on the site. Primarily a public meeting place for the city, Liberty Hall was the site of Irish playwright Oscar Wilde's 1882 lecture, "The English Renaissance." Admission to Wilde's lecture was $1. Two additional stories were added to Liberty hall in May 1882, and the Bowersock Opera House was then established.
Jansen said he hoped the Lawrence Opera could become such an all-round city hall and university.
"It could perform some of those same functions," he said.

Street & Number
Name
Thief
starry James Claus, Tuesday Weld and Willie Nelson, written by Michael Mann, based on the book *The Home* by Frank Holmberg, directed by Mann.
After the recent glut of expense, dreadful and near-dreadful movies *All Night Long*, The Final Conflict, or *Jane* along this wonderful sleeper, a film noir *dark street-seeks heist crime movie with a good love story and, of all things, a message. A point of view message. Caan is an ex-con, a master diamond thief with a used car lot and gin mill cover; his benchmen (John's brother and Jane's sister) and William LaValley as the backup) are also expert; they are like family close. There is respect, if not exactly respect, but a huge upside gangster (Prosky Broks) buts in, the cops start swarming around in their share of the take, and everything generally gets very mean. The movie is now on March Wedd, raise a family and
forget his illegal trade, must cut him self loose from that dream in order to survive. Survival does seem like—but working for Frosky is—unlikely.
Can's movies are not always successful, but they're almost always interesting and rewarding. He holds his gun to his shoulder, and Fonda's he tough, masculine, but also sensitive and emotional (one of few actors who has an extraordinary sense of humor). The face remains stoic. In *They Can* I am remarkable, a hero in a hopeless life, with enough resonance in a hard sateen glance for two or three movies.
The grayshot films of Chicago and fancy trick shoots (following a drill through the hole into a safe, looking camera) are almost, but never quite, obtrusive; writer/director Mann never loses track of the narrative. The tension burns, which makes the screen feel tense. And by Tangerine Dream is like a million needles piercing the brain: the right kind of music for this film, but too much or too little. It frequently inadvertible, an annoying failure in an otherwise dazzling movie.

Modern Romance
starring Albert Brooks and Kathryn Harrold, written by Brooks and Montia Johnson, directed by Brooks.
Modern Romance has been called Albert Brooke *Annie Hall*, and in how ways that accurate it depicts an early hot and cold romance, reportedly based on one of Brooks' own, but he gives himself the role of a film star. And even though he is unentimental; he never buys us to love him, as Allen often does. Brooks refuses to pander, refuses to be adaption, nor lies his strength and weakness.
While Brooke's satire (when the film director interferes with the editing, or when Brooks and his assistant add sound effects to a silly space flack) makes his material deadly accurate, much more uncommercial in its纵厉性 than Allen's Hollywood party in *Annie Hall*. Allen makes fun of his ascent as an outcast, so much an insider, at times devastating, other times (*almost*) compassionate.
Brooke 'screenplay is uncompromising in its deposition of a jerk, a man who is too rude to up, make his mind or stick with. There are really only two problems with Modern Romance: Harold's role is underwritten; she seems fat too young. The older man must have had some obseusive quirks of her own, but these are never rehearsed. Mr. Rowe

Modern Romance is terrific; it's just not very likeable. That shouldn't matter — but it does.
