Nude Models in It For the Money
By JEFFREY STINSON
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—I do it for the
20-year-old of a 20-year-old
University of Kansas coed.
Jennifer models in the nude for the Blue Orchid Studios in Kansas City, Mo. She is paid $5 for 30 minutes of posing or $9 an hour.
The studio charges its customers $15 a half hour and $25 an hour to photograph its models in whatever stage of undress the customer wishes the model to be.
Jennifer makes an average of about 480 an evening. One model, she said, has made about 500.
R. P., a 20-year-old brunette majoring in
english at KU, has a job in Lawrence and also works at studio in Kansas City on the West Side.
"For the money, you couldn't find a job like this in Lawrence," P. said yesterday.
About 50 per cent of the Blue Orchid's models come from KU, according to the studio's owners, Phil Manuel and Vic Damon.
MANUEL, A KU graduate and former junior high school science teacher, said the girls were hired on the basis of personality, face, figure and whether they had any "psychological hang-ups" about posing nude.
Damon said that the girls were usually self-conscious at first about the job but that
"We've never had a model leave after her first job." Damon said.
it only took one night for them to get over it.
"The clients are generally well-dressed, well-mannered guys," he said. "About 30 per cent of them have come in before and many of them are regulars."
"Most customers are very polite and me run the show," R.P said. "They let me write."
Damon added that some clients visited just to talk to the models and use their time to do so.
R. P. said she usually posed in a sitting or reclining position, and that most photographers preferred to photograph her face.
PROFESSIONAL photographers don't
seem at all interested in what they are shooting, she said.
"I didn't even have to take my clothes off for one."
The girls must sign a contract stating that they won't solicit for prostitution, make physical contact with the clients or make dates while working, Manuel said.
"So far, I'd say Phil and Vic have been my best employers," R.P. said.
"If they (clients) expect something we don't do, we tell them right then and there."
The girls said they didn't have to worry about being propheiated by either Manuel or Sotheby's.
KU Is Out of Time, Dykes Says
By ERIC MEYER
Kennedy Staff Reporter
The lag between withdrawal of financial support for the University of Kansas and the deterioration of the quality of education has almost ended, Chancellor Arch R. Dykes told about 30 members of Students Concerned About Higher Education last night.
Dykes, speaking in the Pine Room of the run-down town, said the University had run out of them.
"Unless something is done in this legislative session," Dykes said, "we face such things as the library being forced to close at 9 in the evening, subscriptions we've had for a hundred years being canceled, and that we're increasing, programs being eliminated and more and more graduate assistants teaching classes."
DYKES SAID it was unfair for people who criticize the University for hiring graduate assistants to teach lower-division courses and help them acquire financial support from the University.
*We can hire 'tahoe'; we need *gwe*:
    *gwe can hire bach*; *hie said*. *We've*
The use of graduate assistants has been greatly exaggerated, Dykes said.
"Most graduate assistants are pretty good instructors," he said. "Most of them will be teaching in other institutions in the next year anyway."
Dykes said Kansas' decline from fourth to 7th in the nation for per capita support for schools. (AP)
"WE'RE NOW SPENDING a larger sum of money for junior colleges," he said. "There's the tuition-grant program for private schools.
"That total of $3 million was counted in determining the per capita appropriations for higher education. But it didn't go to KU. It wasn't worse condition than the figures indicate."
The Merrill W. Haas Distinguished Professorship has been established by the department of geology at the University of Kansas and by a generous gift to the KU Endowment Association.
Ernest Angino, chairman of the department of geology, announced the gift and said the donation would support a professorship in the earth sciences.
Manuel said that the Blue Orchid was more lucrative than teaching school but that it took the excitement out of being around nude girls.
$100,000 Endowment
in brief
the gift honors Haas, a KU alumnus, who is vice president of the Exxon Corporation.
Dykes said the first goal of Concerned Students should be to improve public understanding of and sympathy for higher education.
James W. Hillesheim, associate professor of education, is serving as a visiting professor of philosophy for the 1973 fall semester at sea aboard the S. S. Universe World Campus. Aftaet program sponsored by Chapman College, Orange, Calif.
He urged the group to continue distributing literature at football games. He also urged the group to encourage good students to attend KU.
Professor at Sea
"The future of higher education in Kansas depends on our ability to get to the people of Kansas with some information so they can learn that we're facing a crisis situation." Dykes said.
ditional state support of the athletic association should not interfere with earlier plans to ask for increases in nonsports funding.
"The $190,000 for the athletic association is strictly of secondary importance," Dykes said. "I think and I hope that everyone has made it clear that improving our academic program comes first. But I think we might have both."
IN ANSWER TO a question, Dykes said the recently-approved request for ad-
Dykes was accompanied by Rick von Ende, executive secretary of the University. Dykes had just returned from speaking at a City and Wichita yesterday and Monday.
