Chalmers forsakes Wescoe car
Still shiny as the day it left Detroit, the black 1964 Ford which served for five years as former Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe's official car has now been demoted to duty with the Building and Grounds department.
Wescoe drove the car until his last day here, forsaking the newer models driven by other University officials.
Not so incoming Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. It's not that the car wasn't good enough for him, he said. Just that after five years, a car begins to cost too much to operate.
Chalmers now has a new state-owned Ford, equipped with all the latest safety devices and conveniences. B and G has the old Ford.

Kansan has new book
In That Day, poems by May Williams Ward will be published by the University Press of Kansas October 24,1969. Edited by Bruce Cutler, professor of English at Wichita State University, this volume represents a selection of what Mrs.Ward considers her best work produced through the years.
In his foreword, Mr. Cutler says, "In her adult life in Kansas, May has seen the coming and going of such poetry movements as imagism, surrealism, formalism, and
concretism to name a few. Her poetry has steered its own steady course. In any collection of poems published over a period of some fifty years, there are bound to be changes and developments."

WASHINGTON (UPI)—A White House consumer affairs advisor said Wednesday the razzle-dazzle of new car price advertising would do credit to P. T. Barnum. Another expert advised buyers just to knock 15 per cent off the sticker price.
The testimony of Robert L. Meade of the President's Committee on Consumer Interests and Dermot P. Shea, executive secretary of the Massachusetts Consumers Council, came at the close of a two-day Federal Trade Commission hearing on whether there is a need for federal regulations on automobile price advertising.
"The razzle-dazzle of today's automobile price advertising would, in fact, do a P. T. Barnum proud," said Meade, who added that many violations of present law are so obvious that "little investigative work is needed."
Shea testified that until Congress or the FTC acts to remove "deliberate confusion" induced by the automobile manufacturers as well as marginal automobile dealers," he recommended that buyers "take 15 per cent off the top of the federal sticker price on American automobiles."

Consumers, said Shea, "are being bilked by not being given full
and proper information as to the true going retail price."
The only exception he would make to his automatic 15 per cent mark down, said Shea, would be on luxury and sports cars with limited production.
