they have, what kind of service and what their orices are. That is human nature."
The Holldoe 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 Holdome is the cost of the Union's facilities. The services provided by the Union must be less than those of the Holdome, Fernsworth 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 customers."
The Union's prices should be competitive also because its overhead costs will most likely be lower.
FERGUSON STRESSED THE UNION was not trying to compete with local businesses. He said the "gown-down" relationship has been very good and the Union wants to keep it that
After the novelty of the Holidome wears off 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 Holidoreme's guests to the campus, Ferguson said. They will be able to come to the campus and get a ride and won't have to worry about parking, he said.
"They may come into the Union and buy food and refreshments," he said. "They might buy some books in our book store."
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 Holdeme, Ferguson said, but the Union's competitive prices and the additional traffic on its roads will help 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.
From page one
"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 emblems of the budget cuts, so we 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 welfare.

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, B3, and her sister, Mildred Frederick, a music teacher on a Dutch dance style for the community there.
Opera
Topeka radio station WREN later held dance contests there. Jansen said.
"It used to be such a beautiful building" Sanders said. "The front of it was so pretty."
In 1930, the Bowersock Theater became the Daisynon Theater. In 1946 it changed again to be a Café.
THE BUILDING REOPENED IN 1908 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 December 1982, the building occupied the building. Finally, in 1977, the present Lawrence Opera House was established.
"There are fewer than 10 buildings in Lawrence that have the history of that building,"建筑师斯塔夫·罗森说。
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 $3,633 was stolen.
Police said that the larcenist broke into the dormitory and stole several pieces of turquoise and Indian jewelry.
LAWRENCE POLICE ARE ALSO investigating the Thursday afternoon burglary of a house at 2102 Barker St., from which at least $500 worth of property was stolen.
Police said the burglar entered through a bedroom window and took a stereo receiver worth $350 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 typical of that style.
Other points of interest are the masks of comedy and tragedy that the lyrie, which are formed through a cement.
"The building really needs some exterior stabilization," he said. "The most conspicuous evidence of that is the truss supporting 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 leader Abraham Lincoln helped burn the site. The Herald of Freedom was burned in Sheriff Jones' 1854 bid by pro-slavery looters from Leavenworth.
LATER THAT YEAR, 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 1822 lecture, "The English Renaissance." Admission to Wilde's lecture was $1. Two additional stories were added to Liberty hall in May 1832, and the Bowersock Opera House was then established.
Jansen said he hoped the Lawrence Opera House could become such an all-around city hall.
"It could perform some of those same functions," he said.
