Operation Costs of Vending Machines Are High
Cost of an average machine is $700.
Vending Profits Aid Union Operating Funds
Most of the time students don't give a second thought to a vending machine unless it not operating properly, but what goes on behind the scenes in the maintenance and service of the vending machines is a big operation.

Vending machines on campus are owned and operated by the concessions department of the Kansas Union. The department, which owns 250 vending machines across the campus, services and maintains 180 of them. Kevin A. Remick, manager of concessions.
All the profits made by the concessions department are reciculated in the general and operating funds of the Union building, he said.
Remick said that each year the concessions department turn into the Union budget about $6 to $7 thousand in revenue from the vending machines.
"Through this recirculation the vending machine operation benefits all students,"
THE COST of operation is high. The price of an ordinary vending machine is in the $700 range. As the machines become more technical, however, such as a beverage dispenser which uses cups and ice, the price might be as high as $2,000. Remick said.
After the initial purchase of the machine.
preparations have to be made for installation. Concessions is not allowed to solicit buildings or departments to install the vending machines, Remick said. Applications have to be made by the heads of departments or buildings requesting a machine. After the request has been made it is up to the vendor to decide about facilities and planning, if it meets certain conditions such as availability of utilities and accessibility.
The concession department has three fulltime employees and six part-time student employees who maintain and service the machines. Most products that are sold by concessions are bought in bulk by contract, Remick said.
PRODUCTS ARE not simply purchased and placed in machines, however, Remick said. There are variable factors and guidelines that must be followed.
According to Remick, Kansas guidelines established control of health conditions, where the machine can be located, and shelf life conditions for different products. Any product used, Remick said, must remain fresh and have a shelf life of 48 hours.
Women Should Fight for Jobs, Times Editor Betsy Wade Says
Another factor that has to be considered when purchasing products is "burn out." this, Hermit said is when a product goes on sale and then drops off in sales to almost nothing.

Wade has been at KU since Tuesday as an editor-in-residence in the School of Journalism. During her three-day visit which ends today, she talked to journalism classes about herself, the New York Times and problems of journalism.
Wade also has worked as a women's feature reporter for the New York Herald Tribune and as a reporter for the Scripps-Howard Newspaper Enterprise Association. She has written an encyclopedia of clothes care and a children's book, and was a co-author of "The New York Times Book of Antiques."
WADE BEGAN working for the New York Times in 1956. She was the first woman copy editor to be hired by the Times. Now, out of 75 copy editors, she said, five are women.
assessing their capabilities and pressing for challenging jobs, she said. They should give employers more convincing arguments to proof that their talents are being wasted.
"In law there is the concept of the discouraged group. Women do not apply to be garbage men even though they aren't prohibited by law, because they assume no women garbage men are wanted," Wade said.
WADE SAID THAT many women journalists, instead of trying to make it on a paper like the New York Times, worked for publishers, on women's magazines or as researchers for magazines like Time or Newsweek.
Women should be more militant about
of 3,000 Times employees who are members of the American Newspaper Guild, 41 are women. This includes secretaries, clerks, switch board operators, reporters and copy editors, she said. In an interview with Times, she said, personal credit (or a battery) is given to 550 people, including 28 women. Of these, 16 report on women's news.

Wade said she expected the percentage of women employees on the Times to increase. The publisher has agreed to establish an affirmative action program for women in the Times, and she is hiring, women executives and areas where women have been employed, she said.
Court Postpones Hearing Of Voter Registration Law
The suit also asks that the Kansas voter registration be declared unauthorized.
Louise Wheeler, assistant professor of law, and Michael J. Davis, associate professor of law and attorney on record, filed the suit asking for a ruling by the court on the question of the status of a woman's name when she marries.
The suit in U.S. District Court in Kansas City was filed Tuesday by Dwax Wasshe, Shawnee Mission lawyer and Democrat candidate for state senator.
Waxse said the suit was a class action file on behalf of Mrs. Katerine Manherz, Fredonia, and others in her situation who are not eligible to the civil mediation, and who are now ineligible to vote.
TOPEKA-A hearing concerning the constitutionality of the Kansas voter registration law, originally scheduled for Wednesday in the Shawnee County District Court, was postponed until today at 2 p.m. in Topeka.
"The women working on the New York Times are the survivors," she said. "Many are weeded out. Some weed themselves out. Some get tired or drop by the wayside."
Proceedings in a similar action about voter registration in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., have been delayed also with a decision is reached in the Topeka suit.

The Shawnee County action was filed by two University of Kansas faculty members on behalf of Khristine Hall Gallop, Lawrence second-year law student.
