Life At Sunflower Parallels Small Community Living
Approximately 600 student veterans attending the University live at Sunflower. These men and their families comprise about 20 per cent of the village population.
The village is managed through agents of the federal housing authority and is under the jurisdiction of the Johnson county sheriff's office.
Only veterans and ordinance plant employees may live at Sunflower. Some of the non-student veterans work in the Kansas City area, others work at Lawrence.
Sunflower has a representative group of businesses and professional men. It has a grocery store, drug store, service station, barber shop, tavern, laundry and dry cleaning shop, photographer, and shoe repair shop. The professions represented are a dentist, a doctor, a visiting nurse, and school teachers.
There is telegraph office and telephone service, a city bus, and Santa Fe Trail bus service to Lawrence and Kansas City.
Lots of Recreation
Lots of Recreation For recreation there is a hall with a moving picture theater, a bowling alley, pool tables, and club rooms. There is also an elementary school and kindergarten, but high school students must go to one of the high schools in the surrounding towns.
Two dairies and two bakeries make house to house deliveries in Sunflower each day.
Sunflower To establish a business in Sunflower, one must get the permission of the federal housing authority. To date the housing authority has limited businesses to one of each type.
Apartment at Sunflower rent for 25 per cent of the combined family income. The maximum rates are $32.50 for two-room apartments, and $37.50 for three-room apartments. This rate includes coal, electricity, gas and water utilities. Furniture for the apartments rent $4 for two rooms and $6 for three rooms. Hoya All. The Furniture
The apartments have one coal heating stove, a cooking oven, an icebox, a four-chair dinette set, two occasional chairs, two chests of drawers, and a set of twin beds for each bedroom. Each bedroom has a clothes closet, and the kitchen has built-in cabinets.
Students from Sunflower agree that a sizable bank account is a help when living on the $80 government subsistence check.
For veterans, the average monthly expenditures are about $50 for food,
$26.50 to $28.50 for rent, and $8 for transportation. That leaves $4 to $6
for clothing, recreation, medical attention, and miscellaneous items of expense.
Sunflower veterans agree that the added pay which will start April 1 is welcome, even if it means they will have to pay increased rent.

Citizens of Lawrence, Iola, and Wichita are being offered classes in the humanities to stimulate interest in good citizenship, Hilden Gibson, associate professor in political science and sociology, said today.
Humanities Classes Stimulate Interest
The object of the classes is to bring together a cross-section of the country. In the groups are business men, personnel managers, teachers, preachers, labor leaders, farmers, and housewives.
"These groups represent an experiment in a new type of adult education and use the case method. Professor Gibson says, 'very basic.' Professor Gibson said,
Efforts were made to keep enrollment in each class down to 40 but all have more. The classes for Lawrence and Wichita have about 45 members each and the Iola class has 50. The Lawrence class meets on Tuesday nights and will run for 12 sessions.
Business Good At Parcel Post Meter
The parcel post meter at the University post office has averaged a daily intake of $25 since it was installed Oct. 14, B. E. McKee, clerk, said today.
The meter has registered a total of $3,003.31 in parcel post stamp sales. It had its best day on Dec. 15 when $74.72 was recorded.
The meter has enabled us to handle 50 per cent more customers in a given priod of time. Mr. McKee said. We have also eliminated many errors. An average of 150 parcels a day is mailed at the campus post office.
