SLIPPAGES commonly occur wnen
heavy rains fill dry, cracked dirt or when vegetation draws moisture from the soil during dry spells. They are especially common in areas like eastern Kansas that have a great deal of vegetation, according to Dickey.

Clint Webster, registrar at Emporia State, said a decline of 100 students in enrollment from last fall's figure of 6,388 was a major concern for that university.

She said that there was a slight increase, but that if late enrollment was slow, there could be a decline from last year's figure of 19.045.
A spokesman at K-State said enrollment could increase or decrease, depending on whether the department is open.
RUSSELL WENTWORTH, de admissions and records at Wichita State, said enrolment there was up mainly because of increased course offerings.
Last semester, Jim Christman, co-
master of the Jayhawk, said he hoped to
learn more about the game.
He said he expected enrollment to increase slightly over the next few years because more non-traditional students were taking classes at the university.
The Kanaan study indicated that three of the books compared were not available at the library.
Preliminary checks indicate that the Union's textbook sales are running slightly higher than the same period last year, Ferguson said.
Bill Muggy, co-manager of the Jayhawk bookstore, said he could not be sure that his own account had been hacked.
"I personally believe that on a propor-
tionate basis we have more sed texa that
we can use."
The possibility that a student may not be able to find all the books he needs at the Jayhawk Bookstore is an important aspect of comparing the two stores, Brock said.
"Were I a student, I would rather go to one store and be able to get all my books," she said. "If a student wants a full-service store, they will come here (to the Union)."
BETTY BROCK, manager of the Union bookstore, said she thought the reason the Jayhawk had a greater proportion of used books was that many total books competition as the Union.
The Union is required to carry all texts for courses taught at KU, Brock said. There are no restrictions on the course content.
BUT BROKK said she doubted whether the Jayhawk could stock one copy of each board.
Although Christman had predicted last semester that the Jayhawk would carry books for 85 percent of the courses offered, he didn't have no idea how close the store was to that goal.
that even that one copy might not sell.
Another aspect of the competing bookstores that may sway some students to the checkout lines at the Union is the Student Dividend Payment Policy. The dividend, if used, can lower the cost of the Union's books.
About mid-September, students will be able to cash in their receipts for dividend periods 62 and 63. Ferguson said. The school's annual payroll rate varies from period to period.
To get the payment, students must save their register receipts from the Union bookstore for six months and then cash them in within the next 12 months.
Students do not receive rebates from the Jawhay Bookstore, Christman said.
BOTH BOOKSTORES will be open at night this week to accommodate students. Brock said she thought this was the first time the Union bookstore had been open at
"My thinking is the beginning of each semester is when students have to have their books," she said. "And if we can spread it (bookstore hours) out then we won't have all the students feeling they have to go in between 8:30 and 5."
Bookstore hours this week at the Union are 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, and noon 10 p.m. Sunday.
The Jawhayk bookstore will be open this week from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. today; 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday; 8:30 a.m. to Saturday; and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Next week both bookstores will return to their normal hours.
Carter trailing Congress in latest national survey
NEW YORK (UPI)—The latest Harris survey indicates Americans give neither the president nor Congress high marks for the state, but a long time in 15 years, Congress has the edge.
In a national Harris-ABC poll of 1,200 adults recently released, 63 percent said Congress was not getting the job done, while 34 percent disputed. But 69 percent gave President Carter a low grade, with only 30 percent dissenting.
Congress' present rating, however, does not dramatically change on the basis of whether it agrees with or challenges President Carter's recommendations.
Not since the House of Representatives conducted hearings in 1974 on the proposed impeachment of President Nixon has the legislative branch enjoyed an edge over the public's perception of its effectiveness, according to the Harris organization.

At the same time, Congress received a 67-23 negative rating for its failure to pass a gun control bill.
"USUALLY THESE cave-ins occur at sewer and water line jobs and there is little reason to put up the soil. Leonard said, 'What is idea in this case because it's going to be back filled anyway. So the contractor thinks he can get in and remove it, without having to take too much precaution."
Leonard said he had been familiar with construction for 20 years and had seen or knew of several cave-ins. Excavators worked on the site to consideration the soil's condition, he said.
However, Roy Leonard, KU professor of civil engineering, said the contractor was primarily responsible for insuring workers against cave-ins.

said ditch cave-ins occurred without warning.
"You get into a job where you do the same thing day by day and you're not attuned to it. You're getting better."
However, he said, if daily analyses were made, it would be possible to predict when an accident or cave-in would occur. But the cost of such analyses would be prohibitive to contractors and would change their mode of operation, he said.
Earthquakes not considered a possible cause of these accidents. Although earthquakes do occur in Kansas, Rex Buchanan, director of information at the Kansas Geological Survey, ruled out any possibility between recent quakes and the accidents.
BUCHANAN SAID the microwave network, a team monitoring Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma earthquakes, had not been able to improve enough to alter the soil's characteristics.
Rent control coming back to major cities, suburbs
NEW YORK (AP)—Rent control, which was dropped in the nation's major cities (except New York), following World War II, not only in countries but country again, not only in cities but in suburbs.
Los Angeles and other California cities are considering imposing rent limits. Washington and Boston have such limits. And other cities in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have restrictions on the recent years of inflation and unemployment.
"The middle class is hurting. Their lifestyle is impeded. And they've discovered rent control," explains Dr. George Sternlieb, an urban expert from Rutgers University in New Jersey, a state where students have adopted rent controls in the 1900s.
IN SOME CASES, government-imposed rent limits follow economic developments beyond inflation. Alaska, for example, set up rent guidelines when the oil pipeline caused speculation that sent rents up 200 to 300 percent.
Now, a number of California communities are considering rent control as a way to landlords to share with renters their property taxes. In item 13, which required a cut in property taxes.
Sternileb, who opposes rent controls as unfair and impossible to administer, sees another reason why suburbs are imposing them.
HE SAYS A hidden appeal—the middle class' dirty little secret"—is that rent controls tend to discourage new apartment construction. A suburb that wants to stay small and keep poor city dwellers from renting offers rent control a convenient ally.
Thus the "no-growth" fringe benefit of rent control may give the system special advantages.
Rent limits are controversial wherever they exist. In New York, landlords and tenants have been arguing over them for years.
ONE PROBLEM is confusion over a chaotic bureaucracy that has grown up in the last 30 years. For 500,000 apartments, mostly older high-rises with long-time tenants, there is rent control, the strictest system. There is less strict rent stabilization for others but no control for the remaining 600,000, mostly in smaller or new buildings.
Until recently, the city kept controls to help the poor. Now rent control has become a middle class issue. Proponents, including Mayor Edward I. Koch, who has a rent-controlled flat, argue that the city must be forced to prevent the middle class from fleeing.

Tenant leaders contend, however, that real estate speculation, redlining and a host of social ills are more to blame for New York's housing problems than rent control.

LANDLORDS ARGUE that rising property taxes and utility and upkeep bills prevent fair profits under the eminent domain and deterioration of buildings. They say the deterioration causes property values to drop and leads to higher property taxes for small-land properties.
Another major city, Boston, began controls in 1969, followed by nearby Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville. Rent increases in the area are due to a change according to Ann Goggin of the Boston Rent Control Board. But last year, landlords were forced to cover higher utility and property tax costs.

A HOUSING SHORTAGE and one of the nation's highest per capita rent levels are the main reasons Boston turned to controls. The city's public housing system is a special problem for other residents. Landlords might charge four students $150 a piece to live in a single apartment, which might raise a single family's rent in a rental apartment to $600 without rent control.
The city passed a law for gradual decontrol in 1976, but up to two-thirds of the apartments remain under control. The rent was $40 per month, however, and then rent control could end.
