To Buy From Other Cities If
.Lawrence Grocers Ask
Too Much
A conference of all the University faculty members who buy grocerie will be called within the next week o ten days to form a University Con Ammer Buysing League according to the guidelines by Registrar George O. Foster.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 8, 1990
NUMBER 105.
The proposition has been discussed privately by members of the faculty for some time, Registrar Foster said, and some interesting data regarding the comparative prices of groceries in Lawrence and other cities over the country have been compiled. There are some 300 faculty members of the University who buy groceries he said. He believes considerable saving could be made by buying in job lots or through establishing a distributing company.
"The most interesting bit of data obtained." Registrar Foser said, "was from Prof. H. P. Cady of the chemistry department who metured to the Pacific Coast and who kept an accurate diary of the grocery prices in the various cities along his way. He found that in only one little town, Yellow Stone, near the Yellow Stone National Park, did groceries sell for more than $10 a pound. Later the groceriesm attempt to make enough in three months from the tourists to live through the rest of the year."
"I cannot see why we should pay more for groceries right here in Lawton, than in other cities over the country, which is where it is the only reason for organization."
Registrar Foster intimated that the buying by the new consumers association would also extend to clothing and books if it proved successful in reducing the costs of groceries. The final decision in regard to the buying will be determined at a joint meeting of the faculty members he said.
Providing satisfactory bids are submitted by Lawrence merchants the buying will be done here. If not then a second copy will be in Kansas (GYW or object or modifier the
If the distributing center store is decided upon then registerPoster believes it will be to employ one individual faculty members and faculty members are busy persons.

CLASS ROOM SPACE HINDERS RECITATIONS
Legislature Will be Faced With Large Requests for New Buildings-Chancellor
Last Budget Still Unused
Uncertain Which School Will be Favored First Chancel-
"When the state legislature meets again to consider the budget for the State University and other institutions of the state they will be faced with the largest requests for new funding for this decade years, although this will not be one of my burdens as I will not be here next year," Chancellor Frank Strong said this morning. "The demand for the new buildings is just one of the evidences that shows the growth of university in the last few years."
With the present amount of class room space it is almost impossible for the instructors in the various schools to meet all their classes according to some of the University professors. In many cases classes in the college are forced to beg recitation rooms from other schools.
The only apprentice that has been allowed for new buildings this year and next is the $200,000 for the heating plant, which will cost $156,000 for the new power and heating plant to be built near the site of the present heating plant and about $5,000 allowed for finishing rooms and studios for the School of Fine Arts.
"It is hard to say just which school will be the first to get new buildings", Chancellor强 said.
