Joe's son decides to continue tradition

To many KU students, the closing of Joe's Bakery left a hole in their dining delight.
At 7 p.m. Sunday, the doors of Joe's, 616 Ninth St., will open as they have since December 1982, but the new proprietors behind the hot dog stand in Woodrow Hill, Smith, Joe Smith, Smith and Jim, his wife, Meldy.
"I've been thinking about this all summer," the younger Smith said. "I didn't know what to do. I've interviewed for jobs, but all the job interviews ask me what I want to be in five years. I don't know for sure what I want to be." "Maybe we need to just not want some guy in a suit telling me what to do."
SMITH SAID HE BEEN to think about taking
his daughter out for sale May 17
because of his father's retirement.
He hesitated, he said, because he knew about the long hours and hard work that were necessary to make the bakery go. It was only in 1940 that Smith decided to take over the business.
Joe Smith said that for him, his son's decision was a hammy one.
"A fellow always thinks about these things it was." "I will be in the hopes he would. It was a welcome surprise."
(Actually, it's just one sentence with no spaces or commas.)
RALPH SMITH is taking an "if it's not broken, don't fix it", attitude toward Joe's. However, one noticeable change is the bakery's hours of operation. The new hours are 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily with the early-morning closing hour flexible.
Smith said he could work 12 hours a day but not 16, as was often his father's habit.
Before, Joe's was open 24 hours a day on weekdays.
The bakery's food offerings will be the same, except that the torpedo sandwich will be replaced by the comparable half-sub. Also, because he is to make as many Danish pastries as his father had.
Melody Smith will work with her husband on the night shift. When Joe operated the bakery, he worked the night shift and his wife Ramona worked the dav shift.
Jo-Ann Hass, a Joe's employee for seven
years. Jo-Ann is Marianne's sister and a day
sister, Ms. Baldwin will work for her.
SMITT SAID his father had given him two small pieces of advice—be nice to your customers and don't overprice your products. With that, he looked around the newly painted white storeroom and pointed out the $314 worth of doughnut ingredients against the wall. That, he explained, only forced him to change the price of the traditional glazed dough from a dime to 15 cents.
Smith said he was fortunate to inherit a business with such a great reputation, but he said it made his job even more difficult because of the renunciation that must be unheld.
The immediate future of Joe's appears secure. Smith said he and his wife were excited by the opportunity to run their own bakery. He said he liked the idea of being his own boss.
"This is my baby," Smith said, "but I've got one hell of a coach behind me if I need it."
Counseling . . .
From page one
MANY TIMES PEOPLE can recognize affect their study or work habits
rupport with counselors closer to their own age
to a member of the faculty," she said.
"What all the problems lead to a is lot of heavy stress," Edwards said. "Sometimes it will take the form of physical discomfort—the need for bends, draches or padaches or the need to sleep the entire day away."
"Most aren't happy with the way their intimate relationships are going or are having trouble with their roommates. They feel isolated and they hurt a whole lot."
The final step for many in the counseling practice is the Mental Health Clinic at Watkins Hospitals.
The six staff members saw more than 600 last year, said Sidney Schroeder, director.
Students and faculty are given four free visits throughout their stay at KU.
"About half the people we see only come in for our visits and then discontinue our services," Schroeder said. "Most of the students come in either on their own initiative or are referred to us
when they come into the emergency room needing psychological help."
SCHROEDER SAID most of the cases the staff dealt with involved relationship problems.
"A lot of people have trouble with relationships," he said. "It could be a threatened loss of a relationship or a feeling that their needs are not being met by their partner.
"Often, it is just not one thing that is bothering them. It can be a number of small things, which build up and begin to spill over and impair their ability to function in other areas. They often begin to have problems with studying or communicating with others."
Most of the students seen by counselors at the Watkins clinic see it as a last resort.
"Most of the students try to work out their problems before coming to us," he said. "They talk to friends or the Counseling Center first, while we are viewed as the last resort. It's considered a pretty major step when they walk through our doors."
“It’s hard sometimes to convince people that it’s all right to seek help. You don’t have to be serious before you end up here. We would much prefer you not to end up here, and the problem gets worse than they can handle.”

Registration blues
CHRIS TODDI/Kansan staff
The first view of the Hoch Auditorium floor during enrollment is a startling one to many KU students who register their first registration period.
As if the action on the floor isn't enough, the drama on the stage continues the enrolment odyssey through Hochland
The scene was considerably more crowded than this Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, as students arrived on campus in increasing numbers to pick up their materials.
For the rest of the semester, the student body will be dispersed among the various schools and buildings on campus, but for these students—or in the world's a field house—or an auditorium, as these pictures prove.
Still, amid the crowd and the confusion, there's time for one-to-one communication, as Mike Wilkinson, Larson freshman, and she wades through the registration paperwork Tuesday morning.
