but the most popular items in the gift shop are the jewelry items from American Indians in the north.
Stephen Edwards, administrative assistant at the museum, said most of the merchandise from the Southwest region came from tourists. The jewels is purchased directly though a trading post.
Edwards aid he made the final approval of merchandise purchases but the personnel in the suggested items to be ordered
Olsen said she thought if more students visited the shop they could give the buyers a better idea of what to order.
Edwards said quality and cost were influences on their decision to stock any item.
THE QUALITY of most of the items in the shop is pretty fine. But if you buy very few items which cost over $10,000 your cent fall well below that price."
The shop is to be a source of income to support museum-related activities, Edwards said. These activities have included public education as well as guest tours and events. Profits from the shop have also supported scholarships for the museum's summer workshops
"The profits have been minimal, but they have been enormous. The costs and expenses are figured to the penny, so we have to at least cover them."
Edwards said initial plans were made for the gift shop in 1967 and later moved to the director of the museum. At that time the administrative offices moved upstairs from their location on the museum's main floor.
Area on the main floor was then designated as space for a gift shop. The counter in the gift shop is designed a general store. Thomas Swearingen, museum artist, refinished the counter and designed and constructed the museum buildings and grounds officials.
Black Conference Talks About Business Problems
Edwards said next year a coordinate would be hired to work with the museum in it and work in it, as well as work with the museum's associate.
Expansion of the gift shop will be determined by the person who assumes these duties. Edwards and others had currently reached a plateau.
Most black people have never worked for black bosses, most have worked only for white bosses, Jim Woodson, an attorney from Topeka said Friday at a region's Big Business Council of the University of Kansas Business School.

THE STAINED glass windows were created by Swearingen and his assistant at that time, graduate Student Doug Abough. He is now working on information gathered by an administrative assistant who talked
Woodson said that most black people were filled with self-hate because they had been "at the bottom of the class," and they had been in this country.
Woodson, who helped start and operate a corrugated box factory with his brother, accused exclusively by minorities, said that his company wanted to help black people know that they could be proud and be of themselves.
He said that the image of the black man always working for the white man had to be changed.
CURTIS MCCLINTON, an investment banker and president of the Kansas City Mo., agreed with Woodson and said that blacks had traditionally been "consumers not producers, employees not workers."
Theodore Curry, a member of the Black Business Council, said that he wasn't "necessarily dedicated to integration."
Curry said that if he owned a business he would hire blacks and other minorities before he would be able to take on the job without "a racist statement." Blacks need jobs, they need experience in business, because for advancement, he said.
Curry said that it was difficult for a black man to get a good job with a white firm, let alone have the opportunity to cement into a managerial position
CURRY SAID that the number of blacks going into the Business School was about 10% and going into other schools had decreased. He said this was not unusual.
interest in business, but because the Business School lacked enough experience in grants and didn't offer enough courses which dealt with the subject.
Wilbert Thomas, a member of the Black Business Council, said he was getting paid from the country were getting money, but not KU. Thomas said that if the federal government would come from the state that they would go to the federal government with him.
Thomas said that the Council wasn't asking for a free ride, but was simply asking for enough money to begin a self-help program.
Thomas said that the self-help program would include recruiting Kansas blacks to KU. He said that KU actively recruited minorities and minorities, but that they usually went out of the state to do it.
THOMAS SAID that this wasn't fair to Kansas blacks or to Kansas. He said that most out-of-state students graduated because there was nothing to keep them here. This "waste of resources" would change, he said, if more money was given to Kansas blacks to attend KU.
McClinton agreed that the Council should try to make the KU Business School more available to Kansas blacks. He said, "This is one hell of a system that's not its work within this system."
McClinton said that there were grave problems confronting business businesses in black communities. He said that those businessmen had trouble staying in business because a lack of money in black communities.
No matter how much a black businessman wants to operate a business, he won't. McClinton said, "emotions don't keep you in business and they can't."
Executive Talks About Role Of Women at Business Day
By FOSS FARRAR
Kansas Staff Writer
A woman applicant for a job in business should be considered by prospective employers as an individual and not as a member of the public. The partner of the international public accounting firm Touche Ross & Co, Kansas City, Mo. is involved in Friday the Kansas Union.
The luncheon, which featured McCann was part of the Business School Day which involved 75 students who attended an annual event was sponsored by the KU Business Council, which will be held at Bayne Boeckman, Wetmore senior.
McCann, a KU graduate and the first woman to pass the CPA examination in Kansas, said she didn't think women had a 'role' in industry. She said if women were considered as a group, only women would be given opportunities would be denied opportunities would be denied
"because they are women."
A WOMAN typically enters the labor force after college, works, gets married, has children and goes to school. She is a mature woman, Mccan said.
"About 60 per cent of (working
 women are married), McCann said.
 "One-third of these women have children under 18."
McCann said nearly half of the female population from the ages of 16 to 64 were working and most in the labor force because of need.
The statistics and information she gave in her speech, ("Women's Role in Industry," were based on studies made by the Bureau of Labor of 1869 and 1970, she said.
McCANN SAID the profile of the average woman worker had changed since 50 years ago when she was 28 years old and a factory worker. She worked in working women is 39; a mature married woman is most likely
doing clerical work. Most women workers are found in the lower levels of lower paid occupations, McCann said.
The Business Council also sponsored two panel discussions Friday. Panel members for the American Human Side of Business," were: Janet Epperson, trust investment officer of the City National Bank of Kansas, and Joey Iezkaiser, president of Inez Kaiser & Assoc., Kansas City, Mo. and John Newlin, controller John Deere Co., Kansas City, Mo.
Panel members for the afternoon discussion on minority business were: Curtis McClennon, executive director, Parkwood Bank and president of the Black Economic Union, Kansas City, Mo.; Tollette Bernard, owner of a Hutchinson catering service, and lawyer for the Office of Economics, Opportunity, Kansas City, Mo.

She said that if she had to depose on the black community in order to business. The people who require her services, she said, are the people in the white community, and they designed to deal with the problems associated with Black businesses and the job market for them.
Thomas said that the conference "really came off well." He said that the Black team planned it with plans to "be bigger next year."
