The KU chapter of the L-5 society was
organized September 1981, said Will Adams, Lawrence graduate student and president of the group.
"I think probably our primary goal is to educate people to the possibilities of our environment."
There are 60 chapters and about 5,700 members nationwide in the L-S Society. Adams said. The groups; name comes from a point between the Earth and Moon called LeGrande at that point where they would remain stationary without power because of the combined pull of the Earth and the moon. Adams said.
Space colonization, commercial space manufacturing and promoting space development are goals of the society. Adams said.
Wilderness Discovery Office selling sailboats, equipment
"I think it's just future-minded people who are oriented to people living in the city."
The Wilderness Discovery Rental Office at the Satellite Union is selling five Sunfish sailboats, two canoes and old camping equipment to the highest
The items are on display at the Wilderness Discovery Office, and offers can be made through sealed bids, which must be in by July 23.
"It a lot of old equipment we've had sitting around and should have gotten rid of last year," Gene Wee, program adviser, said yesterday.
The office has received four bids so far and many phone calls.
LISTS OF EQUIPMENT and minimum bids are in the Student Union Activities Office in the Kansas Union. SUA oversees the rental service.
The money from the sales goes back to the business office, and a certain
The last sale of this kind was in 1979. Wee said.
amount is set aside for new equipment.
"Last time, people bought everything." he said, "including a broken axe handle."
All of the sailboats are still sailable,
he said, and there is nothing wrong
with most of the canvas tents except
that they are becoming threadbare.
"The stuff is old and not up to the standard that most people would expect when renting equipment," Wee said.
ONE OF THE two canoes for sale is bent, the other leaks, and the organization has no means of fixing them, he said.
Wee said, "there is always a risk in letting a piece of equipment go. We don't ask them if they know what they are doing. They rent life jackets, but there is no guarantee that they are going to use them."
Besides the condition of the canoes,
SUA is trying to phase out the canoe rental part of the program, Wee said.
There also is no adequate place to store canoes, he said. "If we can't store them adequately; we might as well not offer them."
"There is only one usable one left, he said. "As long as it is usable we'll keep renting it out."
Most of the equipment that is being sold has already been replaced, he said. The sailing club has new boats, a shipment and tents have been purchased.
Davis tried last-minute dealing to preserve 'Oakland' Raiders
By United Press International
OAKLAND, Calif.—Al Davis, managing general partner of the NFC's Oakland Raiders, tried to negotiate a deal to stay in Oakland just hours before the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Coliseum, a California newspaper reported yesterday.
Davis 'friant last-minute dealings were reported in a copyright article in the Oakland Tribune-East Bay Tribune.
The particulars of the secret negotiations were disclosed to the paper by its editor and publisher, Robert C. Maynard, who acted as the conciliator at Davis' request, between Davies and the city of Oakland.
Davis had signed an agreement with Los Angeles.
MAYNARD SAID that Davis telephoned him three times the day Davis signed his agreement with the LA Coliseum and appeared in the national press holding up a "Los Angeles Raiders" t-shirt.
But Maynard said he informed Davis that he would no longer take part in the negotiations because he had read that
"HE (DAVIS) SAID, 'I initialled the pages of the agreement just as a verification of accuracy,' " Maynard said. "'D (Davis) have not signed anything. Oakland still has a chance to make a deal."
Maynard said he responded by saying. "In my opinion, the negotiations are terminated."
are terminate However, Maynard said that Davis persisted.
Maynard said that Davis had been considering a 15-year lease arrangement with the Oakland Coliseum.

This Country's Most Glaring Failure
Consider for a moment the following excerpt from a July Reader's Digest piece entitled "Misling, 100,000 Children in Year":
Because so many children do run away from home, police label most missing kids runaways and, unless the child is very young or evidence of foul play exists, police commonly will not act on a missing-child report for 24 hours. The reason: sheer work volume.
The "sheer work volume" which precludes an immediate legal response to a missing-child report is the result of a government retreat from reality. Although our Constitution was designed "to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility... and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," our governing units have generally answered a rising crime rate with an under-staffed police force.
Instead of honoring the crying need for a strengthened law-enforcement apparatus, many of our governing units have granted tax breaks to business in an attempt to stimulate their respective economies. One example of such synchronized stupidity recently occurred in New York when Governor Hugh Carey signed into law a bill authorizing New York City to grant $5 million-year tax break to Madison Square Park and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority to title—the Knicks and the Rangers—in this city. Her hailed $50 million favor is just another slap in the face of those several millions of Governor Carey's constituents now in need of lodging, medical care, and police protection.
Adolf Hitler and Joael Stalin used the machinery of government to torture and kill helpless individuals. By falling to devise a framework to deal with the yearly disappearance of 100,000 dependent citizens, our government achieves the same ignoble result.
