Campus cigarette sales down from expectations
Cigarettes, back on campus after a five year absence, went through a disappointing first week's sales, but cigarette peddlers spoke of a brighter future.
The cigarette appeared on campus last week after the Kansas Board of Regents voted Oct.17 to rescind the ban on cigarette sales on Kansas campuses.
The colleges and universities affected by the Regent's decision were KU, Kansas State University, Wichita State University, Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Fort Hays State College and Kansas State College, Pittsburg.
Only 225 packs of cigarettes were sold at the Kansas Union Wednesday, the first day of sales at KU, but Bill Rowlings, Union night manager, said Wednesday sales were expected to pick up as more people became accustomed to the sale of cigarettes on campus.
He said plans were under way to place vending machines in the Union, Summerfield Hall, Strong Hall and the residence halls.
Sculptures on display
They are categorized as nonobjective sculptures in the round. They made their debut in the South Lounge of the Kansas Union today where they will be appearing for the next two weeks.
They are four unusual modern sculptures created by James K. Johnson and Ken Ryden, both KU instructors in art.
The brilliantly colored works represent a combination of the talents of the two sculptors.
"We think that we've come up with a third style pleasing to both of us," said Johnson. "Working together has opened up new experiences for us."
Because the sculptures are not supposed to have any special meaning, Johnson and Ryden were reluctant to label them with names.
Johnson and Ryden said they hope to exhibit their works in other universities and art shows after they are shown at KU.
Dognappers work here
A group of dognappers seem to be working in the Lawrence area due to the large number of dogs reported missing, said Mrs. Victor Melton, manager of the Lawrence Humane Society.
More than 30 dogs have been reported missing and not found in the last month, Mrs. Melton said.

At Kansas State University, where a petition calling for cigarette sales on campus was circulated earlier this semester, first week sales were disappointing. Walter Smith, associate director of the Kansas State Union, said Friday sales amounted to less than $150 for Wednesday and Thursday.

"Cigarette sales were being pushed by a few but there is not as big an interest as first appeared," Smith said.
Cigarette sales on the Wichita State University campus began Monday morning. William Glenn, director of the Campus Activities Center (CAC) said Friday sales from two vending machines in the CAC had been averaging 250 packs a day. He said an additional 50 packs were sold over the counter Thursday, the first full day of such sales.
Glenn said the CAC is forming a central vending agency and vending machines will soon be placed in residence halls and campus buildings.
Cigarette have not yet appeared on the Emporia, Pittsburg and Fort Hays campuses. The delay at Fort Hays and Emporia was caused by a delay in the approval of the licenses in Topeka. Union directors at the two colleges said they expected the approval early this week.
Jack Overman, director of the Student Union at Kansas State College. Pittsburg, said the Union was in the process of accepting bids on vending machines. He said a license was not needed when cigarettes were not sold over the counter.
A total of 43 different vegetables are grown in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas during the winter season.
