Pictorial history of KU immense
Need an idea for a costume party or simply in the mood for a little nostalgia? Spencer Library can supply you a 50-year historical history of the University of Kansas.
Anyone may look through two extensive collections showing campus scenes, activities and personalities, John Nugent, University archivist, said Thursday. Photographs show the period from the 1820s through the 1860s are well depicted in the book "Uke" D'Ambra and in photographs used by the Office of University Relations.
D'Ambra's collection, donated in 1973 to the University by his widow, contains 17,000 negatives and 12,000 prints. It is so immense that a large number of processes being processed by the staff at Scripter Library.
D'Ambra was KU's first public relations man when universities didn't hire specialists to create favorable images of themselves, Nagent said. His photos of nationally and internationally were published in foreign countries.
He specialized in photos of KU sports personalities, including milier Miler Glen Cunningham and basketball player Wilt Chamberlain. Nugent said D'Ambra had photographed more football action than any other sports photographer in the state.
D'Ambra ran his own photo business in Lawrence for more than 50 years and always had more job offers than he could handle.
Use of photographs for KU public relations has come a long way since the 1980s. The KU Department that he once used. The Office of University Relations now has two photographers who supply pictures for news releases, catalogs, brochures, pamphlets, which are sent into county libraries.
Two years ago, all photographs had to be made by the Artist and Graphic Arts University.
Larry Knup, director of the Division of Information for the Office of University Relations, said, "We now lending more assistance to departments than was available before." We're making a massive move into photography for use in public relations."
"Now we have our own black and white darkroom in Carruth-O'Leary," Knupp said. "With our own darkroom and equipment, we can take, develop and send out pictures all over the state in the same afternoon."
The University Relations recently adopted a home town operation. "We personalize stories with photos," Krupp said. "When students are involved in the news, we then send copies of their photos to their hometown newspapers."
Beisner wrote a letter Dec. 16 to Dykes to ask that either the athletic board take a more active role in KUAC affairs, or that Athletic Director Clive Walker resigned.
He also said that a report released last fall that defined the role of the athletic board had been insufficient. The report argued that the board instead of the board's nowers.
"It's a matter of the athletic director's and the board's not knowing what their responsibilities are in relation to each other, but that's why you must get in one another's way," he said.
Beisner, because he is president of the studentry, is a member of the athletic

Beisner to give ideas on KUAC
Tonight
John Beisner, student body president, is meeting with administration officials today to discuss possible problems surrounding the operation of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC) and to suggest remedies for them.
Beiser wouldn't release on Thursday the recommendations he'll propose, but he said that the team's need to take on the status of the athletic board was needed. The board, which is supposed to govern KUAC, needs to take a more active role in organizing day-to-day decisions for KUAC. Beiser said.
Beiser is meeting with Chancellor Arnie R. D. Kelner and Del Shankel, executive vice president of the company.

For example, he said, the program in Costa Rica is now cheaper because students no longer leave the island for extended vacations and will cost the same as last year, he said.
Suitcases should still be packed, film bought and flight reservations made by students who are worried that they won't be able to afford a summer or year of study
Burles said that in some countries the program would be cheaper next year than the program in France.
J. A. Burzle, director of foreign study,
said Thursday that the present economic
situation shouldn't stop students from
studying abroad.
He said the Kansas University Endowment Association would continue to support the programs with additional funds. The program is designed so they now have to study abroad programs.
"Scholarship funds have increased" and will help students, with financial need.
The foreign study office has tried to keep the cost of a year of study abroad the same as that of an academic year at KU. Transportation is the major cost difference, he
"The devaluation of the pound in England will also make it possible for us to work on the same financial arrangements this year as last year," he said.
He said that a slight financial increase of cost for study in France and Germany existed because of inflation. The program will set subsidies from Germany, however.
"They are so satisfied with the caliber of our graduate students that they are expanding to allow undergraduates in the program." he said.
Burzle said the programs at the Universities of Reading and Exeter in England would be expanded in the next year to include undergraduate students.
The application deadlines for the summer
inroad programs are this spring the
deadline for the fall program.
He said his office also was experimenting with "student" spending only one cent for each student.

"I don't think the one semester program is most desirable though he said. "By that time you can get to know the ropes, you leave. In most second semesters, you get into the swing of it."

Unpaid traffic fines $68,219 for 3 years
(Srs. sign up for interview in Ed.

Frickey and Mike Davis, University counsel, introduced a plan last semester to funnel fines that were unpaid after 14 days. The Court for prosecution as misdemeanors.
Phil Fricke, chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board, said this week that the board had been searching for a way to get more people to come up with anything satisfactory so far.
Thomas said he had told the KU Parking and Traffic Board during the 1979-71 school year that the total amount of student fines levied in one year averaged between $40,000 and $50,000, and non-student fines levied averaged about $30,000.

The current policy is for fines of violators who have five or more violations to be turned over to the University Council for prosecution, Frickey said.
"I think the figure of unpaid student fines is a low figure," Thomas said, "but we really won't be able to tell next year how much money compare figures under the new system."
The system is called Student Accounts Receivable Billing, and the department is able to send its own bills out to violators and in turn indicating the bills to the university copropper.
The plan was discontinued when county commissioners expressed disapproval.

The current billing system makes last semester's figures misleading, Thomas said. Fines that are paid within 14 days are never recorded, he said.

That figure includes fines from the last three years and from the fall semester. Many of the fines are uncollectible because the violators have moved away.
A new billing system introduced last year has made it difficult to compare the amount of fines last semester to the amounts in the previous year. For the three years total, misleading he said.
Thomas based his estimates on the carry over of uppaid fines in the past three years. Student traffic fines carried over total 16,537. and non-student fines were $29,761.
Unpaid student fines amounted to $19,800 during the fall semester, and unpaid faculty fees amounted to $32,500.

Most fines owed by students were paid as they reenrolled for spring semester, Thomas said. He estimated that fines left unpaid after a full school year could be about $10,000 for non-students and about $5,000 for students.

Tripleheader shaver? It's obvious, of course.
With the VIP shaver, you get closeness, but no bloody nicks, cuts or scratches. The VIP has 18 surgical steel rotary blades, inside 3 super-thin floating heads, and 9 closeness-comfort settings that adjust the VIP to your beard, your face. For a shave so close, with so much comfort, it's obvious why the Norelco VIP dares to match shaves with a blade.
