Jeannot Seymour, publications coordinator for University Relations, said she spent about four months each year working on the catalog's design.

"We try not to be gimmick and try not to slant the information," Seymour said. "We try not to sell the University but present it as clearly as we can."
KU PULLED more students from Missouri last year than any other state except Kansas. About 375 Missouri students enrolled at KU last fall.
The informational booklet is not difficult to students in Kansas, but it is time to introduce the information.

"Our service will be utilized by people who have savings." Falkensten said. "It's going to enable the individual depositor to keep more money in savings than in checking and to earn more interest on deposited money."
FIRST NATIONAL Bank and Lawrence Bank and Trust Co. will automatically transfer all deposits into a savings account and transfer all accounts to checking account are cleared
Lilleen said customers at his bank could earn interest on checks that are clearing.
"You can write a check, but until that check is debited to your account you are earning interest on money you have spent." That is where the customer makes the money."
Watson said his bank would help students who had extra savings.
"If a student has savings dollars and is paying a high service charge for checking, he can save money by combining the two deposits," he said.
"The new account really won't affect students either way. Students still ce regular accounts. Each individual in going to have to decide for himself."
Shawnee Mission South had 207 freshmen on the Lawrence campus—about one-tenth of the freshmen who came to KU from Kansas high schools.
last fall. KU's enrollment was boosted by more than 2,100 Kansas high school students.
THE SECOND largest number of new freshmen came from Lawrence High School. About 130 students graduated from Lawrence High and enrolled at KU, about 28 percent of a normal Lawrence High graduating class.

Grievances go to city manager
Dissatisfied with previous attempts to resolve their grievances against Gene Vogt, director of utilities, two Utilities Department workers met with the city manager yesterday in a further effort to resolve their complaints.
George Blevins Vn, and Phil Bierra, the two workers, met withBuford Watson, city manager. Brent McFall, management director, in separate meetings yesterday afternoon.
Blevins said that his grievance alleging age discrimination by Vogt was not resolved at the meeting, but that Watson had seven days to make his decision.
"As far as I can see, we didn't come to a resolution." Blerves said. "We tried but we couldn't."
BLEVINS SAID if he was not satisfied with Watson's resolution he probably would take the complaint to the Kansas Department of Health, and Vogt did not hire him for a job because of his
age. He said, however, he hoped he would not have to take it to the state.

Want a book? Here's how circulation works
Different parts of the library system have different ways to check out books. For most of them you need your current KU-ID in order to check something out. The standard checkout period is three weeks, with various exceptions, and overdue fines are 25 cents per day which is not collected until it reaches $1. Details and exceptions to the circulation rules are in *Guide for Readers 3*, and are available by telephoning 864-4715.
Going into the Watson stacks for a book is not the hair raising adventure some would make it out to be: there is no rope-climbing, no carnivorous quadrupeds, no ricochetting artillery fire, and little edifying graffiti. However, for the sake of efficiency if not survival, it is best to look at the stack map before entering the stacks, just because of the unusual way the building is organized.
Find the levels on the map where the books are that you want. Now figure out where you are, and approximately your route. Stop at the Circulation Desk next to the stack entrance and ask someone to check your call numbers to make sure they are not charged or held in a branch library. Then give it a try.
A major upcoming change in the libraries will be the eventual installation of new electronic equipment that will make circulation procedures more uniform and end overdue book fines. Halleluja!
One of the greatest frustrations in library use is to find that the book you want is gone, or at least hiding. The circulation staff is expert at discovering strayed volumes, and can often put the missing book in your hands within about three days if you ask them to. They can tell you if the object of your desires is checked out, and if so, when it is due back. If it is returned but not yet sorted and reshelved, they can track it down.

Bibliographers have task of selecting new books
Applying their knowledge in various fields—most bibliographers have advanced degrees in academic subjects, plus library training—24 bibliographers work to improve the chances that the libraries own the books you need. This takes planning—300 words worth in a collection development policy statement alone! And it takes contacts with the teaching faculty, academic administrators, students and interested bystanders to know what subjects are and will be taught, what research interests are now and what they're likely to become, what's important and what's trendy.
It's not possible to buy all the items published in the U.S.. let alone the rest of the world, and it would be a waste to do so. People don't want all publications at all times, they want specific
It sounds easy, like shopping in a gourmet supermarket: hundreds of suppliers offer books and periodicals for sale. Libraries just pick what suits them, write an order, and the books roll in. But librarians are often reminded with unpleasant epithets that they are book-shopping for 25,000 finicky readers, and the bill is enormous, which generates more epiphetes. To help confront this problem, KU libraries rely on the expertise of subject bibliographers.
publications at specific times. Having acquainted themselves with what is available, what people are likely to want, and the budget (which begins to seem pitiful small at this stage) the bibliographers place their bets on about 63,000 new titles each year. (Does that answer your questions about the origin of the term "bookie?")
Bibliographers also decide which publications from previous years, decades and centuries ought to be purchased. This may involve locating a reprint of a book first printed in Germany in the middle of World War II, buying a copy of Daniel Webster's correspondence from a second hand dealer in New York, or making sure that two copies of an item are available because it will be required reading in a course.
Considerable mechanical work is involved to avoid duplication, checking lists of books offered for sale to see what to order, making sure what is ordered arrives, and reviewing what comes in automatically on approval ("blanket order") plans.
Most bibliographers' favorite work, though, is talking with interested users, finding out what the library doesn't have that would be useful, pointing out good books that may have been overlooked. Collections, after all, are worthless until people use them.
Computers
(continued from page 4)
rough idea of costs you can use 10 to 20 minutes as an estimated average of computer connect time. For example, an ERIC search (at $25 per hour connect time) using 20 minutes and printing 30 citations off-line would cost approximately $18. A MEDLINE search (at $7 per hour connect time) using 20 minutes and producing seven pages of off-line printing would cost about $8. And when you have paid for this trip through the electronic wonderland, what do you have? A list of good old-fashioned reading matter. Put that in your exploding briefcase.
To find out if a computerized literature search is right for you, get in touch with the librarian from the appropriate discipline: for humanities, education, psychology, sociology, business, social sciences and related grants, talk to Barbara Jones, Judy Lee, Jim Neeley or Linda Parker in the Watson Reference Department, 864-3347. For life sciences, medicine, pharmacy, physical sciences, engineering, grants, physics, geology and architecture talk to Kathleen Neeley in the Science Library, 864-5154; or jersey Richardson in Marvin College, 864-8866.
Business and economics branch library
(continued from page 2)
Complimenting these essentials is an epicurean selection of ready reference books, including such famous titles as Dum and Bradreed's Million Dollar Diet, the Thomas Raupert Book and the Thomas Reagan Book of American Manufacturers.
For the true connoisseur, the specialty of the mouse is the collection on the history of economic thought, judged to be among the country's three finest in
pre-1850 imprints, and unmatched altogether in later publications.
Waiting to serve you is a staff of nine professional reference librarians, including one specializing in the business and economics literature.
sometime after graduation, the beginning manager is likely to discover two interesting facts. The first is that current, accurate information is one of the most
important elements of effective management. The second is that virtually all major corporations maintain one or more in-house libraries. By studying the resources of Watson Library and the Summerfield Reading Room, business and economics students have an advance opportunity to discover for themselves why these two facts are not merely a coincidence. Bon appetit!
