Lawrence misses National Ice Cream Week scoop
National Ice Cream Week began Sunday. But do not waste your time looking for special celebrations. The local ice cream shops are quietly participating in the event.
By MICHAEL PAUL Staff Reporter
The nation is celebrating an event this week, but no one has invited Lawrence to the party.
The event is National Ice Cream Week, and Friday is National Ice Cream Week.
But that is news to the local ice cream shops.
"IWASN'T AWARE of it," said Derry Potter, owner and manager of Dairy Queen Brazier, 2545 Iowa St. and 1835 Massachusetts St.
And it is news to the city.
And it's easy to notice that "I didn't know anything about it." said a spokesman for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, "There is nothing planned as a community to celebrate it."
But National Ice Cream Week does exist and has since 1979, said Dan Shaw, communications specialist for Dairymen, Inc., a cooperative of 8,000 farmers in 17 southern and southeastern states that sponsors the week.
Shaw said that the dairymen's purpose was to salute the $3.5 billion ice cream industry, which uses 10 percent of the milk supply in the nation.
IT IS AN IDEA that was even supported by the House Agriculture Council.
Shaw said that on June 26 the committee approved a resolution urging Americans to celebrate July 15 as National Ice Cream Day and proclaimed July 10-16 as National Ice Cream Week.
He said celebrations were planned in
And Saturday in Sylaacua, Ala.

large cities such as Seattle, Boston and New York.
And in Lawrence?
John Jarrett, manager of Zeigfeld's Ice Cream P帕er Dell, 1006 Massachusetts St. said, "It will be business as usual. I was aware that it was going to happen."
JOHN BOWEN, part owner of Chocolate Unlimited Inc., 1601 W. 23rd St., said that he had planned nothing special for the week.
And an assistant manager, who refused to be identified, for Zarda Dairy Store No. 17, 1002 W. 23rd St.
I have not planned that I am aware of."
Ben Zarda, president of Zarda Brothers Dairy Inc., Shawnee, confirmed that the company had no special activities for its stores. But he said his company was one of the companies that was invited to send ice cream to Capitol Hill during an ice cream celebration last month.
"We sent about 12 gallons of ice cream, which included vanilla, mint chocolate chip and praline pecan," he said.
Doug Shade, manager of Baskin-
Robbins 31 Flavors Ice Cream Stores,
1924 W. 23rd St. and 925 Iowa St., said
he planned to celebrate the week.
JIM ROTE, regional director of Baskin-Robbins for Oklahoma, Nebraska, Minnesota and Kansas, said that he did not learn of National Ice Cream Week until a television station asked to interview him about it.
Stanley Brown, general manager for the frozen food department of All-Star Dairy. 1800 W. Second St., said, "We get any information, I don't know why."
Dan Shaw couldn't explain why the Lawrence stores had not received any interest.
Perhaps next year Lawrence will be invited to the party.
He said that publicity was sent to stores that were on the Dairymen, Inc.'s, mailing list and to those stores that had requested information.
IF IT WERE INVITED this year, they would have learned about these facts provided by Shaw:
*ice cream was first invented by Roman emperors, who had their servants go to the mountains and bring snow that was then mixed with honey.
- The ice cream cone was invented at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. A vendor ran out of clean dishes on which to serve it. He added ice cream on a waffle-like pastry
- When immigrants at Ellis Island in New York saw ice cream for the first time, they spread it on bread, thinking that the ice cream was cold butter.
- Vanilla is the most popular flavor, followed by chocolate, neopolitan, chocolate chip and strawberry.
Grad students to attend CU for seminar
Attention graduate students who still have pangs of patriotism from independence Day — the office of study abroad wants you.
The seminar, co-sponsored by the Academy of Independent Scholars and the U.S. Information Agency, will take place July 23 to Aug. 20.
The office announced yesterday that a four-week, tuition-free seminar on democracy would be held at the University of Colorado. Boulder, Colo.
The purposes of the seminar are to develop an awareness of democracy, to reinforce democratic values and to allow the older generation to pass on the democratic tradition to the younger generation.
The topics will include the development of democracy, its relevance, the status of democracy today and the status of democracy in the future.
Distinguished faculty in political science, history and economics, Fulbright scholars and graduate students will explore the tones at the seminar.
To be eligible for the seminar, graduate students must be in the upper 10 percent of their class and possess good verbal skills in English. They also must have done previous work in political science, social science or the humanities.
For more information, contact the office of study abroad in Lippincott Hill.
Director to toughen affirmative action approach
Room and board will cost $500, but partial scholarships are available.
The problems of veterans and the disabled at KU will be drawing increased attention by the office of affirmative action, the director of the office said yesterday.
Roberta Ferron, the director, said that she thought that the issues had not been fully addressed by the office in the past.
She said that not much had been done to assist disabled people who were employed with or attended the University.
FERRON ALSO SAID that no one had done much to solve the problem of discrimination against veterans.
Departments have no consistent policy or criteria for hiring student
The office also will begin spending more time investigating student complaints of employment discrimination at KU.
Before Ferron tackles these problems, however, she said that she had to manage the annual in-house paperwork.
THIS SUMMER the office also is finishing the 1983-84 edition of Goals and Timetables, an analysis of the men and minorities employed at KU
The first project — a revision of the affirmative action handbook — will be published in late 2015.
The handbook had not been revised since 1978, she said, and many of the provisions in the handbook were no longer relevant.
sessions for University supervisors on administering equal employment opportunity provisions. The sessions began in October.
Ferron said that yesterday the office completed the last of its training
Ferron said that the supervisors learned about guidelines on women and minority employment set forth by the U.S. Department of Labor, and the overall role of the KU affirmative action office.
On the record
"I want to continue to work on the image of the affirmative action office." Ferron said.
