Jeanmot, 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 gimmicky and try not to slant the information," Seymour said. "We try not to sell the University but present it as clearly as we can."
The informational booklet is not distributed only to students in Kansas, but also to other states.
KU PULLED MORE students from Missouri last year than from any other state except Arkansas. About 375 Missouri students enrolled at KU last fall.

"Our service will be utilized by people who have savings." Falkenstein said. "It's going to enable the individual depository to keep more money in savings than in checking and to earn more interest on deposited money."

Lillemoen said customers at his bank could earn interest on checks that are clearing.

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.

Last fall, KU's 2100milana was boosted by more than 2,100 Kansas high school athletes.
Shawnee Mission South had 207 new freshmen on the Lawrence campus—about one-tenth of the freshmen who came to KU from Kansas high schools.
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.
more than 110 new freshmen at KU graduated from Topeka or Topeka West high schools. Other high schools that had large percentages of graduates enrolling at KU last fall were Wichita Southeast, Leavenworth, Salina Central and New Trier East and West, two schools located in a Chicago suburb.

Grievances go to city manager
EMBREY SAID he hoped to have the offices of the appraiser, the zoning director
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 Blevin Sr. and Phil Blera, the two workers, met with Bufford Watson, city manager, Brent McFall, management manager, 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 don't come to a resolution." *Elevens* blows. "We tried to be quiet."

BLEVINS SAID if he was not satisfied with Watson's resolution he probably would take the complaint to the Kansas Department and the state Attorney General. Vogt did not hire him for a job because of his

KU Branch Libraries
Marvin Hall Library
Engineering, energy studies, geology, architecture and urban design are all part of Marvin Hall's repertoire located at the west end of the building. Some of these diverse fields overlap subjects found in other libraries: chemical engineering is shared with the Science Library, geography and urban design spread into Watson; and architecture is closely tied with the Art Library.
Six years ago, a proposal to close Lindley Hall (geology and geography) and combine it with Marvin was made to help solve Marvin's problem of overcrowding. The arrangement was made to ease the problem and as it stands, the merging will hold until the University and the legislature decides to change it.
Marvin is more pressed for space than any other branch, as it concentrates its essential resources: 75,000 current heavily used books and periodicals reference sources, a card catalog, periodical list, new book shelf, reserve section, microfilm reader and
Old Green
Old Green Reading Room has the zoology and entomology collections, and something else no other library on campus has; plenty of space. What used to be the very crowded Law Library is now more than enough room for the combined collections of Dyche Reading Room, the old Entomology Reading Room in Snow Hall, and zoology books that were in the Watson stacks.
Besides shelves for the books, there are the broad oak reading tables, the comfortable leather couches, now scarcely occupied.
Various chunks of Watson's service will crowd into Old Green while waiting to be relocated in Watson, and readers may be sitting two to a chair for the duration.
Those wishing to enjoy this comfort and grandeur should do so promptly. The kaleidoscope will turn again in a year or less, the zoology collections will move to the remodeled Science Library in Malott, and Old Green will become the staging ground for Watson's renovation.
You needn't be a zoologist to study in Old Green. But in case you are a zoologist, the best way to find books you need is to start in the Watson card catalog*
Since the move to Old Green was just made in the summer of 1978, catalog records are still being changed. When completed, cards for books in Old Green have a plastic jacket over them that says "Please note: this title in Old Green Hall." The major periodical indexes for zoology are in Old Green, and there are copies in Science as well.
Repeated moving and reorganization of the zoology collections have put a serious strain on the records of which books are where, so expect to ask for help or use a phone to check on where something really is. But if you are in doubt, yes, there is information in Old Green to help you produce an authentic, high quality shark costume for Halloween.

printer, photocopy machine, and a photoenlarger for architecture students.
Currently, books and periodicals are integrated into call number sequences where the dewey decimal materials are found downstairs and the Library of Congress materials are found upstairs. Older items, such as bulky past issues of periodicals and books not frequently used, are stored in a Watson Library basement where they are available upon request.
The major reference source for subjects found in the Marvin Library are the periodical indexes, Engineering Index, Energy Abstracts, Geo Abstracts and other sources involving on-line computer searching. A library staff member should be available to help find any other necessary research materials.
Art Library now in Watson
The lines between art and classical studies, art and cultural anthropology, or art and other related disciplines are ambiguous, and the main card catalog is a necessary telescope for charting a course to find interdisciplinary materials that merge with art. Some are in the main stacks and some are in the Art Library. The Art Library staff can help find materials in such gray areas, and they will give tours, term paper clinics (individual guidance on sources for term paper research), and help with the art reference collection on request.
The Art Library is a branch library, but it is housed in Watson on the third floor, east end. Within it you will find an extensive collection of art, art history, crafts, photography, design and historical architecture, developed in coordination with the curriculum and advanced research interests of the art, art history and design departments, and the School of Architecture.
and help win the feature of the Art Library is its folio stacks. "Folio" is a historic term which refers to tall books. To save shelf space, all books over 32 centimeters tall are shelved in a separate call number sequence. While this is true in the main stacks, it is more obvious in the Art Library where there are many large, beautiful books. Thus, the Art Library has four major
call number groups: Dewey, Dewey folio. Library of Congress and Library of Congress folio. These books circulate, but art periodicals, reference and reserve materials do not.
In addition to books and periodicals, the Art Library holds a collection of photographs of art works. Collected by the art history department in support of its courses and research, the photographs are excellent for finding a picture of the painting known as "Whistler's Mother," but they are not organized to look up pictures of women in lace caps. The Art Library does not have slides; the art, art history, classics, design and architecture departments have slides for classroom use.
Museums, galleries and auction houses that display and deal in art often publish pamphlets and catalogs that are important little mines of information about an artist, a movement, or a period. The Art Library collects and catalogs this information by the hundreds.
Because of value or ripoff rate, some art books are kept in a closed stack area. They are available upon request to anyone who asks a staff person, but using them with a razor blade or broadside in hand will be viewed with appropriate suspicion.

Business in Summerfield, Watson
Business and economics students will find library materials of interest divided between two locations on campus: the Business and Economics Reading Room on the first floor of Summerfield Hall, and Watson Library. What are the differences between these two?
The Reading Room compares to Watson much as fast food does to continental dining. The Reading Room is conveniently located for business and economics classes. It provides fast and reliable service to a high volume of customers. The menu, however, is limited.
Books and articles placed on reserve as assigned readings for business and economics courses comprise the main selection. Side orders feature a choice of popular business news media, like Fortune, Business Week, and the Wall Street Journal, as well as several basic reference books, wherein the reader can sample a company's recent financial performance or check the price earnings-ratio of a favorite stock. There is even a five-cent copying machine for those who can't read everything they want.
i c t e d a n s h f e a t i t n i h e S t a s a l w E
The hours at the Business and Economics Reading Room are different from those at Watson. a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 to 5 Friday, 9 to noon Saturday, and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday. Staff are on duty at all times under the seasonal direction of Ms. Christine Leonard.
Watson Library is the place to go when you want something really special. There the adventurous business student willing to invest a five-minute hike up the hill will find all the ingredients necessary for serious research in business and economics:
1. The library system's central card catalog, which lists the University's 100,000 business and economics books by author, title, and subject;
2. Indexes to the articles in 1000 business and economics periodicals to which the University subscribes;
3. Collections of all the multitudinous business and economics statistics collected and published by the United States government and several international agencies.
