Yearbook theme set
"A Separate Peace, A Separate Battle" is the theme of the 1969-73 University of Kansas Jayhawker.
Richard Louv, Wichita junior and Managing Editor of the publication, said the Jayhawker will follow the same magazine format with minor adaptations.
There will be much more room for artists this year. Original prose and art work will cover the opening pages of each section and will come from the KU student body. Individual photographs of living group members will replace the traditional group pictures. Louv hopes for a more creative, a more personal yearbook. The first section will be out much earlier this year and all four sections will be made available by the end of classes in May.
The Jayhawker will be published by Sun Graphics of Parsons, Kansas, this year and Business Manager Scott Smith, Indianola, Iowa, junior, is confident of selling more than 9,000 copies
Financially independent of the University, the Jayhawker is an $85,000 operation. This year's publication is working from profits of the 1968-69 Jayhawker, edited by Linda McCreery, Honolulu, Hawaii, senior.
Operating with a staff of 50 students, Louv expressed desire for more creative students and more secretaries.
Committee airs housing conditions
Housing, a problem affecting every University student, is especially difficult for those who choose to live in off-campus apartments or rooms, said Halina Pawl, Topeka senior and chairman of the Unorganized Housing Association.
To help eliminate this difficulty, the association, composed of University students, works with University and Lawrence officials in improving the standards of housing in Lawrence, she said.
While the group operates mainly to aid the student, Miss Pawl added, "If we can do something to benefit the student, then we can benefit Lawrence citizens."
The committee works to investigate standards, inform tenants and landlords of substandard conditions, and raise minimum standards as a whole, she added.
Informing landlords and tenants of city ordinances concerning minimum housing standards is an important part of the group's work. Last fall a group of students went from door to door delivering over 750 city housing code and discrimination ordinance summaries.
"We urge persons living in illegal conditions to file formal complaints," said Miss Pawl, "but the number of complaints filed is no way to measure their effectiveness." Many times the problem was solved when the tenant complained to his landlord, she said.
"We aren't out to get the landlord," she emphasized. "We're trying to bring about change in a constructive way. There is a moral question involved, and the housing situation reflects on the University."

DRINKERS CANDY
LONDON (UPI)—Some 20,000 boxes of German candy have been sold in Britain in the past few weeks at about $1.70 a box —about a quarter for each of the seven candies a box contains.
The candy is supposed to remove all traces of alcohol fumes from the user's breath, providing a possible way of beating the government's "breathalyzer" test for drunken drivers.
--also in planning a satellite union.
The satellite union, to be located on Irving Hill Drive northwest of Allen Field House, is being designed to meet needs specified by students in surveys.
The present timetable calls for planning of the satellite union to continue into early spring, with construction beginning in 1970 and completion by fall of 1971.
Students surveyed wanted the satellite union to include a bookstore, post office, snack bar, small meeting rooms, and individual study cubicles.
