SUA promotes recreation festival
Promoters of a weekend recreation festival rolled a six-foot rubber "earthball" along Jayhawk Boulevard yesterday after attracting a small crowd in front of Flint Hall.
The festival, Games Happening in the Parks, is an "excuse for grown-ups to play in the park." Steve Hitchcock, director of Student Union Activities outdoor parks, and SUA. Lawrence Parks and Recreation and KZR radio are sponsoring the festival.
Variations of tug of war, pie throwing,
tag, earlton and Frisbee games are
among the activities to be included in the
festival. The first frisbee festival was
the first of its kind in Lawrence.
The earthball and the games for the festival are adopted from the idea, Inc., a national special, specialized competitive games, Deb Bachman, director of special events for Lawrence Parks and Gardens.
"The emphasis is on non-competitive play," she said, "and the idea is just to have fun."
She said the games could be modified for any age, any number and any location. Last week, a representative from New Games co-kitted KU recreation students to be referees.
Although the referees do not officiate, they are trained to modify the rules for the particular group, what Hitchcock called "constructive cheating."
The festival will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday with a tug of war. A pitheasant contest will be held throughout the afternoon, Bachman said, as well as other games.
One of Bachman's objectives is to set a Midwest record for the number of people participating in a "Lap Sit," in which he stands on one foot while squarely counting on each other's laps.

Engineers needed; enrollment the same
Despite high starting salaries and a vigorous job market, enrollment in petroleum engineering has not increased. In order to meet C. Kraft, dean of the School of Engineering.
Kraft said demand for certain types of engineers ran in cycles. The need for petroleum engineers has risen in the past few years.
Kraft said the reason for the increased demand was that oil companies were intensifying their search for energy sources, especially petroleum.
Jim Malone, a Chase senior majoring in engineering, said he thought students decided early in life what branch of engineering to enter, then stack with their decision. He added that many graduates jobs outside of the petroleum industry.
"Banks and the government hire petroleum engineers too. Banks want to make sure they are making a good loan to get the bank to assess the value of land." Chase said.
month. He added that the average starting salary for graduates in the seven other fields of engineering was $1,547 a month.
Kraft said that 12 KU petroleum engineering graduates were hired last year at an average starting salary of $1,817 a
W. M. Hutchison, director of recruiting for Phillips Petroleum Co., said KU produced the type of engineers his company was looking for.
"The schools in this area are in tune with our needs," he said.
He said Phillips hired 16 KU graduates last year, including 13 engineers. He compared that total to the 60 or 60 per year for Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University.
"We're looking for a good, broadly trained engineer and I don't think our KU graduates are any better or worse than graduates from other schools," he said.
Hutchison said in his opinion there was no way to compare the quality of the Midwest's engineering schools.
He said KU's tertiary oil recovery project, which is funded by the state, gave students a broader educational experience.
In the tertiary oil recovery program, students study methods of recovering oil from wells abandoned because of their slow rate of production.

From page one
Star had an outstanding check for $635 for a Koni Abrasive ad. Holmstein said the signature was almost illegible.
One woman, who declined to be identified, said she had seen a Xerox copy of the ad in Kroger's grocery store.
"I knew it was too good to be true," she said. But it bake a Lawrence post office box, so I thought it must be legitimate.
The ads called the Koni Abrasive product a miracle sander. They claimed the sander would make refinishing a "breeze" because it could fit into molding and cracks in furniture.
Bill Reynolds, customer service manager for the Lawrence Post Office, said he would have to have a back-up in St. Louis. The inspector will decide to assign an investigator to the case. Reynolds
