Up the down staircase?
Creaky stairs and muddy sidewalks will remain muddy and creaky until funds are re-appropriated to install concrete sidewalks behind Ellsworth Hall at the foot of Daisy Hill. Of course, there's always the possibility that the stairs would get so full of mud that they wouldn't creak anymore.
Gift fair opens today
This year's annual KU-Y International Gift Fair will be the biggest since the event has begun.
The fair will start today and will continue until Friday. It will be open 2:30 to 8 p.m. daily and will be held in the Westminister Center, 1204 Oread.
The fair will offer products from nine geographical areas including India, China and Japan, Africa and northern Europe, said Garnet Herring co-chairman of the fair. The booths will sell articles that one would naturally associate with that country. Miss Herring said.
Products sold will include music boxes from Europe, jewelry and sari scarves from India, rice paper prints from Japan, ponchos from South America and such exotic items as llama fur slippers from Peru.
"These items will be things you can't easily get elsewhere and they will be priced cheaper," Miss Herring said.
Prices will range from $5 to $35 for some of the more expensive clothing items, she said.
Miss Herring said all of the items have been obtained from import companies throughout the country.

The fair has been expanded this year to help finance a deficit expense account, Miss Herring said.

More space and more cages are badly needed for research animals in some of the KU laboratories, Jerome M. Yochim, associate professor of physiology and cell biology, said Friday.
Keith L. Nitcher, vice-chancellor for finance, said Friday that $333,000 had been requested from the state legislature to improve research animal housing in KU laboratories. If this money were appropriated the federal government would give $167,000 for housing animals, Nitcher said.
Mud paths to remain
Yochim said housing facilities for research animals in the department of physiology and cell biology were inadequate and funds had been requested to improve the facilities.
He said the budget director cut the $333,000 request from the budget request for the University before the budget hearing.
Lab animals need facility
The gravel and mud paths around the Daisy Hill area may be gravel and mud for a long time.
Appropriations for new sidewalks in this area were deleted from the proposed University budget by the State budget director at the governor's budget hearing Nov. 19.
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said a plea of restoration for this item had been made, approved by the Board of Regents and given to Gov. Docking.
Chalmers said there is a possibility the appropriations will be made for the sidewalks but this will not be known for certain until the governor presents his budget message to the state legislature in January 1970.
