Robbery suspects may have hepatitis
Several city law enforcement officers were inoculated yesterday against infectious hepatitis, a liver disease, because two of three men arrested for the armed robbery of a local liquor store might have the disease.
Michael Jones, 19, his brother Gregory Jones, 18, and Ronald Randall, 19, are accused of robbing Banning Liquor Store, 900 New Hampshire St.
The three were arrested minutes after the robbery took place. They are being held in custody and will be released soon.
Dallas Murphy, Douglas County underderiefer, said Wayne Hird, the physician in charge of giving physical examinations to inmates, notified the sheriff's office that there was a strong possibility that two of the men had hepatitis.
Results of Hird's tests will not be available until next week. But, Murphy said, everyone who came in "contact" with the men was inoculated.
The three men are being held in isolation.

Library, pre-enrollment set to be computerized
BvDEBRIECHMANN
If details are ironed on a computer program, Watson Library could have a more effective way to keep track of its more than 1.5 million books.
Staff Reporter
Jerry Magnuson, director of information systems, said yesterday that the computer center probably would begin to program the system into a computer Nov. 1.
The new system, which would update methods of checking books in and out of the library, was discussed at an advisory meeting of the office of information systems.
Within the next two weeks the office will meet with library administrators to adapt the program to Watson's needs.
The system, which is expected to be in operation late next summer, would make information accessible to a library staff member by having a few keys on a computer terminal.
IF A STUDENT wanted to find, check in or check out a book, information would appear on a television-like screen on the terminal. A student's library fines and his current KU eligibility also could be determined.
The library would buy about seven terminals for $2,200 each and place them in various places in the library. The terminals also could be rented.
Branch libraries could be added to the system at a later date, Dick Mann. University director of information systems, said.
Also discussed at the meeting were ways to provide pre-enrollment at KU.
Mann said that they would be working on a proposal that would outline a pre-employment system and its potential impact. Mr. Mann also completed about Feb. 1 and would be seen by administrators before being reviewed by the Faculty committee and the Faculty executive committee.
IF PROBLEMS outweighed the pre-enrollment system's advantages, then the system should be closed.
But if students, faculty and administrators approved a pre-enrollment system for KU than it could be used by spring 1980.
That is the earliest time that pre-enrollment could exist at KU, he said. It would take about a year to develop and install such a system.
The 12-month period would be used to fully test and validate the system to remove technical problems that would prevent pre-enrollment from running smoothly.
Based on experiences that other universities have had with pre-enrollment, about 30 percent of KU students would still be enrolled, and more make changes in their schedules, Mann said.
TF MIGHT, however, just be a change in one class and a student would have to pull only one card instead of his whole schedule, he said.
Under a pre-enrollment system, students would be seeing advisers for their next semester's schedule while still enrolled in classes.
The advisory committee also discussed ways to computerize the methods used to determine funding under the new formula funding.
If a program were used, data received from KU's peer institutions could be fed into a computer to assist in figuring credit hours and enrollment.
"When they went through the formula funding research most of the work was done
Low air fares drawing travelers
Rv ANNE IVEY
Staff Reporter
in June, United Airlines advertised a half-price promotional dress that drew a lot of customers.
"There has been a noticeable percentage rise in the number of people flying since June, though I couldn't quote an exact amount," Hawke Wotic, vice president of Travel Services in Lawrence, said recently. There are four Maupont offices in Lawrence.
"People flying now are not necessarily people who couldn't afford to fly before," he said. "They have just noticed飞wing as a final goal; feasible means of transit-
ROSEMARIE FORSYTRE, manager of Ports Unlimited, a travel service at the
Ramada Inn, Sixth and Iowa streets, said more people thought they could afford to fly
Faye Watson, a travel consultant for Sunflower Travel Service, 703 Massachusetts St., said students were not flying any more than usual.
"Older and middle-aged people, who always felt flying was out of reach, are the people who are able to fly."
Different airlines have different special fares customers can take advantage of.
Watson said Continental Airlines offered a "chickenfeed" flight that was 40 to 30 miles from New York.
"To travel to one city, it's possible the airline can offer four different rates depending on the flight's time of day and weather. The airline makes reservations." Watson said.
HOWEVER, HOUK said there were disadvantages to the special fares.
bitrary number of low fare seats depending on that flight's history," Houk said.
"On each flight, the airline sets an ar-
However, Houk said, "The airlines have not done a good job in explaining the restrictions on the special fare seats. This has lead to some bad feelings."
If a flight had only 60 percent capacity before, the airline probably would set 40 percent of the total seats at the special fare rate, Hook said.
And Watson said, "If a customer calls a phone for reservations, there's a 90% chance that he'll call."
Houk said the purpose of the low fares is to attract customers to fly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, which are days when fewer persons travel
The Federal Aviation Administration has given the airline permission to make a fare
HOUK SAID THIS adjustment would cause fluctuations in prices. Fares could increase by 4 to 5 percent or could decrease by 20 percent, he said.
