Cross-country skiing snowballs
By DAVID EDDS Staff Reporter
Snow has slowed down almost everything in Lawrence, except skiing.
Because Mont Bleu, a ski slope southeast of the city, hasn't opened this winter, Lawrence skiers have taken to cross-country skiing.
Equipment for cross-country skiing is available at First Serve and Sunflower
Sunflower Surplus, 804 Massachusetts St,
charges $7.00 a day for the rent of boats,
skis and poles. First Serve, 2120-D W. 25h,
charges $8.00 a day for the same equipment.
Jerry Riggs, a salesman at First Serve,
said yesterday, "Part of the fun of cross-
country skiing is that you can make your
dog go as well as you do before
everyone started camping in parks."
According to both Sunflower Surplus and First Serve, the demand for skis in Lawrence has been heavy since the snow hit.
"we just had nine people in here this morning to get skis. There's a pretty big pile of tickets for his ski rentals," Ian Howard, a salesman at Sunflower Surplus, said.
RIGGS SAID there were many locations in Lawrence for cross-country skiing, Athens Golf Course, 3706 W. 23rd, and the Mountains of Iowa are both good locations, he said.
“Really, anyplace for cross-country skiing,” he said. “One of the best places is Burich Park (Second and Third Avenue). It’s not too hilly, but you have a good trail.”
Yesterday afternoon about half a dozen skiers were sking on the Kansas River. However, Dallas Murphy, Douglas County undersheriff, waked KU students against
"To my knowledge we've never told anyone it was safe to ski or skate on the river. On the river you would never know if there were because of undercurrents," Murphy said.
Because snow has made driving on some streets almost impossible, people have
"AN ENUMBEROF First Serve got stuck, and walked to work," Rigs said. "It snowed more, so we gave her some skis and she skied home. Some farmers who haven't been able to get home because roads were snowed shut, came in and rented skis to get
One cross-country skier said he skied because "There isn't anything better to do."
Jane Mitchell-the, Lawrence sophomore, said, "I like to cross-country ski because it is beautiful outside this time of year. It is so beautiful outside this time of year.滑雪 is non-polluting and it's free."
Although SUA doesn't rent ski equipment,

can get on a waiting list at the SUA office.
The cost of the 6 day trip is $192, and includes transportation, lodging, lift tickets and skirt rental.
Textbook sales remain normal for bookstores despite weather
Textbook sales have been as heavy as usual for this time of year in spite of the weather, according to two local bookstore managers.
Bette Brock, manager of the Kansas Union bookstore, said yesterday that the Union bookstore was closed Saturday because of the snow storm. However, employees were working to stock textbooks and supplies. The Union bookstore opened again
Brock said the weather had caused problems in shipping books.
Bill Muggy, co-manager of the Jawahrah Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, the only other local bookstore that stocks textbooks, and the only bookstore that was open Saturday and July 10th full好价格!
"Anything we've ordered out of Chicago is
lated," she said. "The data books we give out
of Chicago are always the same."
somewhere between Denver and Lawrence," Brock said.
She said there was not a big problem with instructors handing in their book lists late
"No one is deliberately late handing in their lists," Brock said.
She said the main problem in dealing with the faculty has been a communication gap.
The bookstore made progress toward eliminating that problem when it hired a book coordinator to work with faculty members ordering textbooks, she said.
Although the Jayhawk Bookstore pays the Union bookstore for copies of the book lists, Muggy said he has had problems getting the lists.
"We pay to Xerox the professors' cards (which list books required for a course), so we're supposed to have the same information the Union does," Muggy said.
Brock said the Union bookstore this semester began stamping textbooks with an invisible fluorescent ink when they were purchased.
She said the stamp proved the book had been purchased at the Union and indicated the state of purchase. This way, she said, she could have the stamp shipped back to the publisher unblemished.
Mental examinations were ordered earlier this month for a man charged with the November 1977 murder of Samuel诺尔Wood, 30, who was the manager of the F.W. Woolorth Co. store, 911 Massachusetts St.
The suspect, Lee E. Harris, 25, Denver was ordered to undergo the examinations at the request of his attorney. Dennis was arrested and he had difficulty understanding Harrison.
Suspect to take mental exams
Harris and Charles E. Moore Jr., 13, also of Denver, are charged with murder, kidnapping and aggravated robbery. A lawyer in Boulder died of a death, which occurred Nov. 28, 1977.
Moore was sentenced in Colorado on Jan. 4 for his involvement in a jewelry store robbery in Littleton, Colo., which involved a few days before Norwood was killed.
Harris is being held in the Johnson County jail in Olathe because a third person, Terry A. Avery, 20, Denver, has been charged with the Johnson county jail as a material witness in the case.
The Douglas County district attorney is using an agreement between Kansas and Colorado to try to get Moore moved here for trial. The attorney dropped extradition proceedings in lieu of the agreement.
Educational films survive blaze
Film Rental Services, 746 Massachusetts St., a division of the KU Department of Continuing Education, survived a fire that devastated it to destroy 6,000 educational films.
Rodger Oroke, director of facilities planning, estimated yesterday that the fire was over.
After a first examination, officials of the Lawrence Fire Department said the fire apparently started in or near the boiler room in the building. The cause of the blaze
The damage consisted primarily of a large hole in the first floor, above the boiler room, according to Howard Walker, dean of the building. The boiler is in the basement of the building.
Walker said there was no electricity,
telephone service or water service for the bolt-
house.
Firefighters reached the unoccupied building about 1:50 a.m. and brought the fire crew inside.
The 6,000 films were in a steel vault that protected them from serious damage during the war.
Committee to begin application reviews
A 12-member search committee will begin reviewing applications early next month for the position of vice chancellor for academic affairs, according to Jeanette Johnson, assistant to Executive Vice Chancellor Del Shankel.
Ron Caligaard, who currently holds that position, has accepted a job as president at the company.
