Lawrence prepared for first snow
By SCOTT LANDGRAF Staff Reporter
Three graders, four trucks with snowplows and 200 tons of salt await the first snow in Lawrence, according to George Williams, director of public works.
Williams said he hoped the salt, which is enough to handle about eight inches of snow in Lawrence, would be sufficient, because the oceans was not enough for the city last year.
"It is a little difficult to know what to expect," Williams said. "We thought we had enough salt and sand on hand just before we arrived, but we have heavy shaws, one right after another."
Williams said that last year the city used its entire supply of salt by the end of January, and that the Carey Salt Co. in Annapolis was unable to supply them until April.
In the interim, the public works department borrowed salt from the
Kansas Highway Patrol, and when that happened, Williams agreed to cooperative Farm Chemicals Association in lawrence. Williams said the fertilizer cost about twice as much as the salt and manure.
**THIS YEAR THE city also has a do-it-yourself plan for motorists who find themselves stack on hills in the Oread neighborhood. Williams said.**
At the suggestion of the Oread Neighborhood association, about a dozen SOS volunteers have been working that have proven to be of special trouble in the past. Drivers can use the same help to assist others.
Williams said the biggest snow removal problem in Lawrence was the hills near campus.
The graders used to plow the streets sometimes pick up speed as they go down the hills, he said. The operators are supposed to jam the blades down and bring the machine back under control, but if the snow is packed or the streets are icy, the water will flood the surface and fail to slow the grader.
WILLIAMS SAID IT was too dangerous to plow the hills under those conditions, so the public works department blocked off the streets.
Williams said 12th, 13th and 14th streets were usually closed when ice.
Another problem with snow removal is budgeting, according to Willimas.
"We can spend anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 a year on it, depending on how much we snow get. Last year snow removal cost the city about $300," he
The money comes completely from city taxes, and in the event of an emergency, a contingency fund provides more money, Williams said.
Paraguay exchange program proposed

Staff Reporter
Pending approval by the Kansas Board of Regents and the governor, six students from each of the six Regents universities will be admitted to a university. In Portugal anywhere as early as next March.
University Daily Kansan
Charles Stansifer, University of Kansas director of Latin American studies, said yesterday that an agreement was reached last week between him and Oscar Uusher, rector of the Universidad Católica, allowing a maximum of 36 Kansas university students to attend Universidad Católica students to study at Kansas universities.
Stansifer was in Asunción, Paraguay, the location of the Universidad Católica, last week to sign the agreement.
American studies program to have another base of operations." Stansifer said.
'It is very advantageous for the KU Latin
The KU Latin American studies program has had an exchange program with the University of Costa Rica since 1969.
THE AGREEMENT signed with the Kansas Reunions universities will be the first foreign student exchange program for the Universidad Caloca, San Francisco.
The agreement allows Universidad Católica students, studying at Kansas University and Kansas residents, thereby paying the instate tuition of students instead of the federal subsidy of $850 for a similar arrangement now exists between KU and the universities of Costa Rica.
The Paragayah university does not charge tuition, Stansifer said, but exchange
students at all universities in the program will be required to pay for books and all living and travel expenses.
EACH EXCHANGE student would attend a university for one academic year. The academic year in Paraguay runs from March through December, Stansler said.
He also said no further details had been worked out about the agreement, which has not been announced. John Carlin. Stansifer said, however. That he expected no problems in getting the contract.
In fact, he said, if a student shows interest in attending the Paraguay university, a student should probably arrange for him to begin attending the Universidad Católica by taking his classes.

National Lampoon goes to press monthly at local printing service
By LINDA MANGELSDORF Staff Reporter
With the pash of a button the unusual music begins. Day in, day out, the gigantic presses churn and hum with the clickey clack from the stitchers in the next room.
The orchestration of machinery is deafening. But each sound, each movement turns out another colorful page for the many instruments by the Kansas Color Press, 2210 Haskell.
covers of TV Guide flash by and Bon Appelt, with its closures of scrumptious desserts, the appetite for the real food. The appetite brings oral Roberts right into the home.
The one magazine that hides in the shadows, National Lampoon, is perhaps the most often read by workers at Kansas Color Press.
Although National Lampoon has built up a nationwide following, the people in Lawrence who print it ten to play down the reality that National Lampoon is playing National Lampoon for the last time.
ONE REASON, said Paul Dexter,
customer service manager, is that
customers are concerned with the quality
of magazines and necessarily with what
magazines are printed.
National Lampoon, the magazine that inspired the movie "Animal House" and food lights across the country, comes off its website as more conservative publications.

How did the Kansas Color Press begin printing National Lampoon?
"The distribution was centered and the price was right," said Mary Beth Nieder, account representative.
"We have great availability to the United States for distribution and we're one of the better printers for an area this big," she said.
PUTTING A MAGAZINE together is a complicated process and the coordination of schedules is essential for completing the magazine on time.
The satirical stories, the photographs and the cartoons in National Lampoon all arrive in Lawrence once a month from the publishers in New York.
The Kansas Color Press is concerned only with the production, which is a complicated process. Nieder said. Certain aspects of preprint production have to be handled in the same way.
At every step of the pre-pro print process can be done by晖. Color separation, for example, is a highly skilled art even when it is done on expensive computerized
Color separation is the breaking up of a full-color illustration or photograph into the four basic colors that will reproduce the art in full color - red, yellow, blue and black.
BUT ONCE ALL of the pre-print details are taken care of, it's time to make the plates and roll the presses.
At one end of this mammoth chain of machinery hangs the endless roll of paper the magazine will be printed on.
At the other end the roll comes out,
transformed into print and pictures.
Before the actual "run" of more than a million copies starts, everything is checked one last time to see that the pages are as should and that the colors are just right.
Then comes the moment when the presses are turned on full speed. It takes minutes for the format to be finished.
When all the sections have been printed and cut into sheets, the binding process is carried out. The workers are needed to direct the pages, the magazine is put together, stained and made
If everything goes as scheduled, one million copies of National Lampoon will be printed and bound in about 15 days.
It may be some time before National Lampoon fans in California or New York get to leaf through their favorite magazine, but it is more than likely that several persons in the press have read all of the offresses to read, even before the publishers have received their copies.
