KU Students Learn To Control Pinballs
By BOB EVANS
Kansan Staff Write
John Eimck, owner of John's Novelty Co., said recently that pinball machines have been growing more popular in the last year. Emkick supplies and serves pinball machines in the Lawrence area.
"The more you play a machine, the more you learn about it. After awhile you know where the ball will go and how much bounce the bumper has," said John C. Kansas City, Kan., senior.
Emick, who has been supplying and serving pinball machine for 37 years, said that the cost of a machine ranged from $100 to $900.
Horner and Greg Smith,
sawner senior student, say
they played the game every day and usually averaged eight hours a week playing
"Single player machines," he said, "cost about $700. Two player machines cost about $200 and the four player machines cost about $100 to do six player machines. I haven't seen any for years."
Emick said pinball machines
depreciated quickly. He said that in six months they would depreciate 25 per cent and in the next year another 25 per cent
Depreciation is a major factor governing the life of a ballpark ticket. "We said that when a machine in worth about $300 he traced it in on a new machine. Also, if you have enough money, it is traded in.
Emick said that space for the machine was leased to him for 10 years, and he brought in and that a good machine with good location could be built.

Non-Fiction Captures Students' Interests
Machines are usually serviced about twice a week. Erik said. The best location is close to school; students are likely to be, he said.
The current trend among *children*, a non-fiction that applies to their lives. Stewart Nowilin, manager of the Oread Book Store, said
Nowlin said that contrary to several years ago when hard politics and the new left captured students' reading imaginations, students' learning of history is on introspection and attempts to find alternate life styles.
"The best places for pinball machines are those that open early and close late, such as the Super Nintendo or Jake boxes. Jake boxes are also supplied by Emick's company. About every two years, he said, a joke box is moved to a lesser location until it is finished with $100 and finally traded in."
"One of our most popular sections of the book store," Nowlin said, "is the 'Whole Earth' shells which include books that try to help students to be alternative to today's way of living.
"Included in this section is the 'Last Whole Earth Catalog' which has been selling extremely well."
THE LAST Whole Earth Catalog* contains guides to living such as how to create a vegetable garden or grow a vegetable garden.
Another popular section in the Oread, entitled Eisen-Eale. etc., concentrates. Nolin said, on behalf of deal with introspection.
"We entitle our section Easlen-Etc because the whole human potential movement is offered to the Easlen Institute in California.
Pool tables are another major item which Emick supplies.
**NOWLIN SAID** that students become the psychiatrists authors maintain that it is no longer possible to learn and their lives are aAPPlied mind.
"The popular books deal with a whole new outlook in psychology and how one leads one's life." Nowlin said.
"The emphasis in these Esalen books is on living your own life the way you choose," Nowlin said
When examining college students' reading habits concerning books on the current best seller list, Nowlin said that the non-fiction selections were more popular than the fiction.
in the fiction category we didn't even bother ordering "The Woman in White" and "Would I (would) I," "The Friends of Edie Coyle" by Higgins (no. 8). We simply didn't feel there would enough demand for these books.
Nowlin said that big sales in this section had been "In and Out the Garbage Pail" and "Gestalt Therapy Verbalism," both by
IN FACT, we sell more books on "TOLISM or Dostovsky than 'The Bets' by Harold Robbins (6)," now said.
Nowlin said that the most popular non-fiction best sellers were; "Bury My Heart at
Wounded Knee "by De Drew牛 no. (5). *Eleanor and Franklin* by Drew牛 no. (5). *Rage* by O'Neill牛 no. (10) and *Tracy and Hopburn* by Garson
Other books Nowlin cited as selling well were "The Gang" by Philip Bott (no 10 on the fiction best seller list). "Beyond Skinner" by B.F. Skinner and "Civilization" by Kenneth C. Clark.
In the area of academic reading, Nowlin叫出 the Oread bookstore's main turnover was in the research literature and drama students.
Nancy Bengel, head of the circulations department of Watson Library, confirmed this trend of students to read books classified in the language and vocabulary of the Dewey Decimal system.
"THE STATISTICS we keep,
she said, make it impossible to
give anything but a general
assessment of books
being checked out.
"The daily computer print outs, which give us the number of the different types of books checked out each day, do show that the students are reading more material in the 300's or history literature and literature and languages, and the 300's or history and geography."
Bengel added that the demand for books in these categories
"The heavy use of the social science books," Bengal said, "can be more easily understood if you realize that this category includes the fields of political science, economics, law, welfare and education.
could be partly attributed to the number of students taking the courses requiring these readings
"WHEN YOU ADD all the possible history and language courses that require reading in the other two categories, it seems evident why these type of students are most often checked out."
Bengel said that Watson's proprietary software can be used as a reference library much difficult to keep track of which books are a most popular with KU.
To collect as many books in as many areas as possible we use a blanket order plan, Bengel said. We have a contract with a publishing company to receive one copy of all the books they publish annually. Canada every year, with certain exceptions on subject matter
A bookstore, such as Oread, Bengel said, could more easily

The past two years have no been the only time that the University of Kansas has been plagued with budget difficulties. It lost millions in Depression hit the university full blast. The school's operating budget suffered a drastic reduction that year, at a time when faculty and students were forced to work on a nationwide economic crisis.

Short on tax money and forced to lessen state spending, the Kansas Legislature cut appropriations for "just about everything" at KU. Raymond McCormick, executive secretary said recently.
RAPIDLY DMINISHING reserve supplies were the salvation of the University accrued 23 issues of Graduate Magazine.
Edward H. Taylor, retired professor of zoology, said Friday that in the early thirties, funds were so short that there was little money to buy specimens for the comparative anatomy course he taught. Sometimes sometimes brought in cats of their own use, he said.
Museum programs were here to be installed, but the book fund was cut back 32 per cent and, luckily for the museum, it had been made a mild winter made possible the legislature's reduction of the 1932 fuel allowance,
During that year, 24 faculty members left KU to pursue education and practically of them went to other state universities at an average salary of $39,000.
"RESTORATION OF state支撑” was nicely said. Nichols said, “We're in the middle of War II. Even in 1941-42 the salary increase per faculty member was only $7.” The faculty salary scale didn’t buddish to its 1931 level.
Graduate, were $25 a semester except for law, pharmacy and medical students who paid $200 per hour. All fees varned with their courses.
The cost of a college education declined in keeping with the times, the Graduate report in 2013 indicated that KU is not a rich man's school."
In a special report to alumnies about the prevailing conditions at KU in 1933, the magazine said that, exclusive of books and fees, the monthly average cost per student was $55 for women in past years. Rates were "still lower this year" the article said.
"ROOMS ARE available for as low as $5 or $8 a month, with the average about $10," the article reported.

The Kansan coverage of Franklin D. Roosevelt's election was scanty and although national politics took up a greater part of the front page in March, when Roosevelt was inaugurated and New Deal, sports and social events are to get the largest headlines.
"FOOTBALL BAS" was pretty terrible during those years, but basketball was riding big." James K. Hitt who was a KU student in 1982-33 and is now system development, said Friday.
"Students did the same things that then they do, except we did them on foot," he said. We were very few cars on campus.
there was a depression until later.
"As a student you were ... aware of your own predicament you weren't sensitive to the fact that you were a professor of political science who was a KU student in 1932-33, said. "The Depression affected everything you did, so it hard to sing out its effect on you as a leader."
"There was little questioning of academic procedures," he said. "We were more interested than today. There wasn't as much emphasis on doing your work."
"THEE WAS a good deal more of what we used to laughingly call Joe College and sororites and sororities." Fields said.
Despite certain shortages however, Hitt said he didn't know
"This was the time when Hitler was on the horizon. The rise of fascism was an upsetting situation. Rather than asking themselves about Vietnam, young people were concerned with the general militarism building up in the world.
"Pacifism was very strong.
But with the rise of Hitler there was a shifting of opinions. We were an evil that had to be opposed
D. D. R. was looked at by a many, many. The conservatives were very disturbed by his election. the liberals, however, saw him as a moderate.
TAYLOR AND Wealthy Babcock, a professor of math in 1932-33, both Republicans, agreed that they were not impressed with the new law. But she had faith in the New Deal or believed that Roosevelt's programs pulled the nation out of the Depression. Babcock said she attributed the country's recovery to war economy of the early forties.

"People felt a willingness to be involved," he said. "We knew there had to be a national shake
down to a more or less controlled economy."
However, Buehler said he never felt the acuteness of a crisis.
"Somehow or other we professors fell secure because of our students receiving payments as regularly as ever during the Depression although the private colleges and universities sometimes two months behind schedule. The faculty there often continued teaching for the love of learning."
"The farmers suffered and that was sold for about $3 an acre," he said. "The hens, who didn't go on strike, saved the farmers."
"Stocks went to pieces. It was unbelievable how values were depressed. At that time there were 25 million people unemployed."
The administration and faculty made a great effort to help students work their way through school. Buehler said. Students were hired to help lawns, do yardwork or odd jobs in faculty homes.
"Over half the students had to work their way through school." Bücher said. "The going rate for student help was 33 cents an hour."
BUEHLER SAID that supplies for classes were rationed, but in his opinion there was no need to improve the quality of education at KL.
"The students just took the situation in stride," he said. "There was no violence. We were there we were doing as well as we were."
"We weren't bitter toward the administration. We felt some resentment toward the measure, but we never felt bitter."
He said that he was so enraged by the materials which were sent to him that he sent a letter to Fisher.
In his letter he told Fisher that he could not find the words to express his anger and dismay at the "narrow-mindedness, simple-mindedness, fascism and McCarthyism of the letter."

"I was a non-committed pessimist. I never felt deeply worried or distressed."
Fernández said that there was a paradox between what the American Security Council said and what they actually were doing, what they were actually doing.
He said the young people of this country would not stand idly by the abuse in schools, 'brainwashing' which was being purported by the government and school authorities.
Fernandez said, "Any time you get insensitivity and ignorance together, you are jeopardizing the world."
