Few segments of the Lawrence community, especially local businesses, are not affected in the election season in Kansas. The University community's patronage is especially important to small, specialized businesses, some of which exist without University patrons.
Although having student patronage is a harbing necessity for man's owner, or small business owner, often sole concern. Most of them have to operate for months or even years at a loss, sustained, it seems, by belief in their products and the high number of loyal customers.
"TM STILL in the hole," said Wilson, who used a used clothing store at 810 Mont St. Paley and his former partner, Matz Snyder, opened the store.
"We got the idea of an antique clothing store from stockroom in St. Louis," he said. "A friend of ours in Columbia, Md., Lee Denton, a designer."
Fulfilling the genuine needs of their customers seems to be part of the motivation of many show owners, proprietors of small Lawrence businesses that cater almost exclusively to students are college graduates who are unable and work in their fields of study.
Paley has a B.S. degree in radio-television-film from the school he graduated from with the honor December 1970. The best job offer he received was that of a dishonorary Colo. Elks Club, he said.
Bokonon's name is derived from a character in the novel
Snyder sold his half of the store to Paley in July 1972.
MOST OF Bokonan's customers are students, said Mr. Bokonan, who much money in Lawrence, Paley opened Bokonan East in Kansas City, Mo., in partnership with his former, another college graduate.
"Cat's Cradle," written by Kurt Vonnegut, Paley said.
Werts has received offers of financial backing, but prefers to retain his independence. One of the reasons is that he wants to make its candles, he said.
Waxman Candles, 7 E. 24th St., depends almost entirely upon students for customers. Bob Werts, the owner and self-taught teacher, noted that 90 per cent of his business came from the University.
Several other businesses in Lawrence depend on the owner's skills as craftsmans. The Shooting Gallery, 118 E. 8th St., is owned and run by Gary Brown and his wife, Barbara, for portrait and advertising photography, retouching and negative processing.
BUSINESS was good enough to open and opened another store in Emporia. He used five tons of wax a year in the production of soap.
Werts has made candies for several years. He opened Waxman's Candles in March 1917 and is now the company's December of that year, he said.
"I made candies in my house on Tennessee and sold them out of town to people who dropped out of school and tried to find a job in Lawrence, but they didn't," she said. "Of the bank, the money I'd made selling candles, and opened the

The new airport is structured like a hub, with a central building housing the power distribution center and the control tower.
THREE TERMINALS form a semicircle around the central structure and passenger service facilities. At Hotel, post office, infloight food preparations services and an airport operations and fire rescue services.
KCI officially will take over commercial aviation traffic for the Kansas City area at midnight and will be among most of the major carriers now operating from the old Municipal Air Terminal in downtown Kansas City. Mo, will switch operations to the new airport.

THE CONTROLLER said the tower at KCII still lacked some of the essential equipment for taking control of the air traffic.
"They're building a radar room on the ninth floor, and we should get a radar here in the top, too.
That will give visitors to the top of the tower something to look at so they can understand more of what's going on. The tower at main air traffic control must be in main air traffic control until we take over, he said.
