Student leaders to apply workshop ideas
By SARA KEMPIN
Staff Reporter
Three student leaders said Monday that they hoped to apply the ideas they learned at a weekend information-sharing conference about improving student government to KU's Student Senate.
Lisa Ashner, student body president,
Scott Swenson, Associated Students of
Kansas campus director, and John
Conard, chairman of the Senate Legislative Affairs Committee, attended workshops on student government at the American Association of University Students conference in Chicago.
Swenson was elected chairman of the AAUS central region and will be the host for its regional conference at the University of Kansas next year.
Ahner said the trip was financed by money from the KU Endowment Association's student activities account.
AAUS CONDUCTED THE conference to bring member universities together to get information for a survey about student government, which will be used to help AAUS receive federal grants.
The University of Kansas is a member of the AAUS, an information-sharing organization made up of about 50 universities that are similar to KU.
Assist in setting up. During the conference, the KU delegates spoke informally with student leaders from universities such as Harvard and the University of Chicago and shared ideas about ways to handle the problems of student government, she said.
Swenson said, "We have ties with Regents schools, but they can't help us better our programs in the way the schools that are our peers can."
Swenson led a workshop about how to register students to vote in state and federal elections.
"ASK HAS BEEN successful in the past with getting students registered to vote, so I just explained how we did it," he said.
Swenson said that ASK might consider assigning one or two students to each state representative and senator and asking the students to regularly correspond with the legislators.
The program will allow students to build a rapport with the legislators to increase their lobbying effectiveness, he said.
Ashner said that the University of Minnesota sponsored a workshop about the benefits of using computers in student government offices to help keep accurate financial records.
But Swenson said that a computer would be useful and that the Senate would study whether it could afford to finance the purchase of a computer.
The KU Senate will not decide whether to purchase a computer to use in its office until it moves to its new location sometime next year, she said.
Conard said the University of Minnesota, which sponsored the workshop, used its computer to list student senators' class schedules, so that in an emergency, Senate leaders could get the senators together quickly.
Their computer system cost about $ 8,000. he said.
Competitor surprised by new store for Greeks
By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter
When the Balafour House, 935 Massachusetts St., opened for the first time yesterday, its arrival was a surprise to one local competitor.
The store, which caters to fraternities and sororites, will sell official fraternity and sorority jewelry from party favors. The store also offers party favors and silk-screened T-shirts.
Tom Wilkerson, manager of the store, said the city had lacked a store that catered to the needs of the approximately 2,000 fraternity and sorority members since another store, RagTag, went out of business three years ago.
But Roy Bray, manager of the University Sports Shop, 942 Massachusetts St., who also sells Balfour jewelry and Greek accessories, said he was
surprised when the store opened yesterday morning.
Until yesterday, the Kansas Union Bookstore and the University Sports Shop were the only businesses in town that sold Balfour jewelry.
"WE HAD BEEN wondering what the new store would be," he said. "They took the paper off the window and we had a Balfour store."
The company is commissioned by many groups to make their official jewelry, Wilkerson said. Balfour makes rings for the Super Bowl players and commemorative rings for the National Hockey League, as well as lavaliers and pins for all of the KU fraternities and sororites.
Wilkerson, manager of the new store,
was the Ballour representative for the
Lawrence area for 18 months before
opening the Ballour House.
Bray said, "We have had no contact with the store yet. We don't want to stir up trouble, but I was under it."
impression that we were the local distributor."
DESPITE HIS CONCERN over the competition, Bray said that there was a real need in the city for one store that could handle the large loci' fraternity and sorority market.
Wilkerson said that there was not a formal licensing procedure to sell Balfour products, but that to ensure good service to smaller towns, Balfour representatives had declared dependable local stores their dealers.
Wilkerson would say only that the two stores were different and that his store carried a wider range of merchandise than University Sports Shop.
"We saw a chance for good market penetration." Wilkerson said.
He said he expected to take a loss in the first year of operation, because the store opened just as the semester was ending and its market would be
Although the market is competitive.
other businessesmen in the area dealing in the merchandise said they would not be affected by the addition of the store.
Liz Call, of University Photography, said that the studio had recently started selling party favors as a sideline.
selling party favors MOST OF OUR business comes from the party pic side of the operation, I doubt that the store will have a noticeable affect on us," she said.
Mark Tennison, owner of the Norman Lewis Co., which sells engraved glass party favors, said that the competition in the market was fierce, but that unless the new store did extensive work in engraving, his business would not be
Michael Fredrick, district manager for Rose Sportswear Co. in Atlanta, Georgia, said the sales of its sportswear did not decline markedly when the new stores opened.

Federal gold to be sold through private dealer
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — With a pile of gold glittering nearby, Treasury Secretary Donald Regan yesterday became the first American to invest in the precious metal under a program designed to compete with the South African
A total of $1 billion in federal gold is being offered through a private metals dealer, an unprecedented arrangement that allows banks, coin dealers, and even department stores to sell medallions minted by the government.
"The sale from our reserves will generate cash for the United States Treasury." Regan said at a news conference.
The gold is valued on government books at $42.22 an ounce, against yesterday's market price of $431 an ounce.
AT THE SAME TIME, Regan cautioned, "People should be aware . . . the price of good fluctuations."
Began noted the popularity of gold investment among Americans, saying, "Over the past five years, Americans have acquired more than a million ounces of gold coins."
The gold sale, including newly minted pieces with jazz artist Louis Armstrong on a 1-ounce medallion and architect Frank Lloyd Wright on a 2-ounce medallion, tempted comeback by the government in the speculative marketplace.
The new medallions are similar to the popular Krugerrand and Canadian Maple Leaf coin — a beaded edge, the name of the United States and the
weight prominently displayed. The format was designed to overcome a lack of interest in U.S. gold pieces now offered to the public.
Under the new program, the government agreed to sell up to $1 billion in gold to J. Aron & Co., a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, which will market the medallions and distribute them to retail dealers.
others.
Regan was a target of the new emphasis on salemanship at the conclusion of the news conference.
"Our price is $450 for this fine coin," gold dealer John Whitehead of Goldman Sachs told the surprised Treasury chief.
Regan, who told Whitehead he would send him a check for the $450, advised reporters the sales pitch was "totally unexpected" and would be final only if it was legal. Regan is forbidden by law to buy Treasury securities.
HOW ABOUT $445?" a smiling Regan shot back, when the dealer said he only quoted firm prices, Regan, former chairman of Merrill Lynch, replied, "That's the Goldman Sachs I used to know."
Congress restored the right of Americans to own gold in 1973 and went further in 1978, authorizing a gold loan program that until now has foundered.
Whitehead said buyers would not necessarily get the Armstrong or Wright medallions, to be showcased in a spring exhibition unless they specifically asked for them.
Otherwise, buyers could receive gold medallions minted in 1980 and 1981, less attractive pieces the government has found difficult to sell on its own.
