they have, what kind of service and what their prizes 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 are more than those of the Holdeme, Ferremon said.
"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 THAT THE UNION was not trying to compete with local businesses. He said the "town-gown" relationship has been built 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 Holdide on the Union's business will not be entirely negative, he said. More people will be coming to Lawrence because of the Holdide.
The shuttle bus service will be bringing some of the Holidone's guests to the campus, Ferguson said. They will be able to come to the campus and work with 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 the roads 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.
"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 employees because of the budget cuts, so we are unable 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 have on heat assistance and other social needs.
"Because funds will be given to the states in the form of block grants," said Beyers, "the cuts,
which are now projected at 15 percent, will accomplish the goals of the state's states dome 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, 62, she attended a play on a Dutch-style dance for the community there.

"It used to be such a beautiful building" Sanders said. "The front of it was so pretty."
Lopera radio station WLEN later held dance contests there. Jansen said.
In 1930, the Bowersock Theater became the
Jupiter Theater, which changed again to
become the Japansky Theater.
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 1977, a disc named Buggy's occupied the house, and a present Lawrence Opera House was established.
"There are fewer than 10 buildings in Lawrence that have the history of that building."
On the Record
Police said that the larcemist broke into the dormitory and stole several pieces of turquoise and Indian jewelry.
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.
LAWRENCE POLICE ARE ALSO investigating the Thursday afternoon burglary of a house at 2102 Barber St., from which at least $550 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.
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.
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."
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 John Brown organized a raid on the site. The Herald of Freedom was burned in Sheriff Jones' 1854raid 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 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 1882 lecture, "The English Renaissance." Admission to Wide's lecture was $1. Two additional stories were added to Liberty hall in May 1882, and the Rowersock Onera House was then established.
Jansen said he hoped the Lawrence Opera House could be such an all-round city hall
"It could perform some of those same functions," he said.

ACE ANIMATOR RALPH BASHI will collabrate with sword-and-sorcery artist Frank Frazetta on a film called *Fire and Ice*, Baksi to animate Frazetta's drawings. "I also wrote the story," Baksi told us — but he wouldn't give it away. "It is in the fantasy genre, as opposed to science fiction. I'll try to live up to Frank's work." Baksi said he would be ready until about a year from now, and then he would join Frank's comic book work" than to his Corban (Baksi) said both he and Frazetta had turned down the live-action *Conan* currently being filmed by John Milus). As for their working partnership, Bakski said, "Frank likes pizza, and we're both from Brooklyn, so it's like going home again."
