Colonies' first paper on display at Spencer
By Yvonne Guzman
Kansan staff writer
Despite the fact that "public" was spelled "publick," and many of the other words were spelled differently than they are today, a four-page publication published 300 years ago had much of the same news as any modern paper, said William Mitchell, assistant special collections librarian at Spencer Research Library.
Three hundred years ago today, Publick Occurences Both Foreign and Domestick, the first newspaper of the colonies, hit the streets of Roston.
"Newspapers have changed, but they've also stayed the same."
It contained news about the kidnaping of two children, a suicide, two fires and a smallpox epidemic.
But one way the newspaper dif-
fered was that the last page was left
blank so people could add news they
heard and pass the paper along, he
Publick Occurrences probably cost either a penny or was free, Mitchell said.
The paper was in jeopardy because its publisher, Benjamin Harris, was not licensed to publish by the gover-
Harris made the mistake of edith-
larizing too much in reporting on
the relationship between the French king and his daughter-in-law and the mis-treatment of the French by the Mohawk Indians in Canada, Mitchell
The result was that the first issue was the last.
"They called in all his copies," he said. "They must have done a pretty good job because as far as anyone else is only one copy of this three thing."
The only genuine copy is in the Public Record Office in London, Mitchell said.
In contrast, a contemporary paper that was published with authority, the London Gazette, was still going strong when Pubick Occurrences was discontinued, Mitchell said. Founded in 1665, the Gazette still is published with authority from the government and is the longest running newspaper in the English language.
"Publish by authority, and you'll live forever." Mitchell said.
A genuine edition of the Sept. 25, 1690, London Gazette is on display with a copy of Publick Occurrences at Spencer Research Library.
It was 14 years before another newspaper was published in what is now the United States, and just as the London Gazette, it was published under the jurisdiction of the British government.
But today, there are almost 2,000 daily newspapers published in the United States, most without government authority.
newspapers provide information, stimuli for discussion and leadership, said Mike Williams, viciting professor of journalism.
"I think a newspaper should try to be what the community is," Williams said. "Not just represent what the community is, but be concerned about what the community is concerned about."
But some KU students are able to balance more than 20 credit hours in a semester with activities on campus.
For many students, an average course load involved a mix of with few hours of sleep and large amounts of hours of study.
Students tackle 20-hour course loads
Vince Calhoun, a Kansas City, Mo., senior majoring in electrical engineering and mathematics, has a course load of 27 credit hours. He said he mixed his difficult classes with easier ones.

He also is a student senator and the vice president of the engineering honor society.

If he takes short cuts to save time while staying, he tries to take the right ones. Calhoun said
"Reading every other line in a book is a bad short cut," Calhoun said.
John May, Overland Park senior, has taken more than 20 hours for four semesters and plans to graduate.
May is majoring in biology and is enrolled in 19
credit hours. He said he probably would have

just tack the band or music hours onto my normal schedule "
May said that he played intramural sports and went out on weekend nights but that he added time to his schedule by staying up late and not spending much time studying for some classes.
Colette Sanderson, Roeland Park senior., is taking 21 hours and is an education major.
May said the key to taking more than 20 hours was to attend class and take notes.
She said that she would take 21 hours again next semester but that she expected her schedule to be more tight.
"Right now, I have a negative attitude toward school," Sanderson said. "I hear people say that after you graduate, you want to go back, but I don't know if I will feel that way."
Student practicums help social service agencies
"At this point, I haven't had that much homework, but in a few weeks, I'll have some differential math."

In the KU School of Social Welfare last year, 350 students provided 245,000 hours of work for social service agencies in Kansas, according to a study conducted by the school.
Harper said he had an interest in counseling people with the AIDS virus or who had been treated.
Tom Harper, second year graduate student, is one of the social welfare students involved in the school's practicum program. He works in the Department of Corrections, where he counsels clients.
Harper said that through the school's field work program, students provided the community with
“In a way, it is selfish for me to want to work with people who are terminally ill,” Harper said.
"Through our learning, we will be better able to provide services in the future," he said.
Harper said it was important to respect people who had AIDS because, in many cases, their frontal lobe is damaged.
“It’s also important to help them get connected to the resources they need and deserve.” Harper said. “If they don’t know where to go, it’s hard for them to find food and housing, or a support group.”
Harper also works as a volunteer for the Douglas County AIDS proiect.
Gretchen Eisenstruger, first-year graduate student, is doing her field work at the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. 336 Missouri she works with emotionally disturbed children.
Elsenrätger said the practicum provided a good learning opportunity because a supervisor was

"I'm trying to be a role model and hope that I can make some difference." Esenträger said. "I try to show the kids that some things in the world change, and they haven't had a lot of stability in their lives.
and involves projects such as art therapy and self esteem workshops.
Elsenstraid said she tried to help the children find appropriate ways to deal with their emotions.
"The kids will keep testing you, but you cannot throw anger back in their faces," she said.
Elsentrager said the changes a person made depended on themselves
"Sometimes I feel like I'm helping, but whether the kid notice, it's hard to know," she said. "I think it is important as a therapist to realize that your ego can't rest on a client's progress."
Dole Center's effect on parking studied
Eientrager said she had had doubts about being a social worker but after working with the pro-police organization, she said.
Future of temporary lot near Watkins will be determined in department's study
By Mike Brassfield
Kansan staff writer
The parking department is conducting a study of the lots near the Didi Huaonan Development Center in Beijing, China, with the effects on parking in the area.
Donna Hulline, assistant director of parking, said parking officers were counting empty stalls during the winter when nine parking lots near Dole Center.
"We want to take a good look at the parking situation in the area." Hutine said. "We want to know where people are parking and where they're not parking."
The study began last week and will continue throughout the semester, she said. One of the lots being studied is a gravel lot between the Computer Services Facility and Watkins Memorial Health Center. The lot was built
as a temporary addition to the lot south of the Computer Center.
"During the construction of the Dole Center we lost access to lot No 37. It was completely closed off," she said. "We put in the gravel lot to help with the parking crunch that occurred."
Lot No. 37, which is behind Haworth Hall, became usable again when construction of Dole Center was completed, she said. The parking department will be allowed to gravel lot until the end of the semester.
Hultine said the study would be used to determine whether the gravel lot should be made permanent or considered a tempo city gravel.
"We're trying to see if we can justify keeping the lot as a permanent addition," she said. "At this

point, we really don't know."
Dawn Sharp, a secretary, who works in Malott Hall, parks in the temporary lot every day. She said she wanted the lot to stay.
"This is as close as you can get to Mallett Hall if you have got a red piking permit," she said. "I think I should go to the store, I'm not looking forward to winter."
Nancy Leek, who works in Robinson Center, also parks in the lot every
day, but she said she wanted the lot removed.
"Judith Ramaley said this would be a temporary lot until the Dole Center was finished, and then it would go back to being a playing field for the physical education department," she said. "I think it should be a field."
Leek said she parked in the lot because the red zone where she used to park on Sunnyside Avenue was not a parking lot. She was at the construction of the Dole Center.
David Born, a professor of human development and family life who works in Dole Center, said he had always way around the parking problem
"I ride my bike to work every day," he said. "I have for almost 15 years. I only drive when it’s very ice or there’s a lot of snow on the ground. By the time I find a place to park and walk to my office, it takes 20 minutes. It only takes me 10 minutes to bike here."
