New Parking Board Chairman Plans Campus Study
Kansan Staff Reporter
By MIKE MEESKE
The University of Kansas Parking and Traffic Board has many responsibilities. The new chairman of the board is Phil Fricke, Oberlin senior, and the president of the Association of University Residence Hills (AURH).
Frickey's appointment is significant because he may be the first student in the history of the university senate to be chairman of a University Board. Because no records available to verify this, however.
FRICKYE WAS APPINTED chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board by the Senate Executive Committee.
He said the first attempt to do something about residence hall parking problems was made last summer by AURH. John Beisner, president of the student body, was then president of AURH.
Beisner became concerned, Frickey said, about the way the money collected from the sale of purchase prices was used.
spent. A task force was set up to study the issue. The task force concluded that the cost of patrolling and maintenance of lots didn't seem to add up to the amount the students were paying. Frickley said.
The task force suggested that Security and Parking make a percentage breakdown of the costs of lot patrolling, maintenance and general maintenance to see where the money was spent. The task force also said that the residence hall parking fee should be lowered.
THE PROPOSAL was turned down, Frickey said, because Security and Parking asked they needed the extra revenue. Frickey said the Parking and Traffic Department spends its money when the board meets in the fall.
Frickey said that the Security and Parking budget had a tendency to be used up very quickly. He said Security and Parking might need more money this year.
A Student Senate committee was set up to study parking and traffic after the AHRT task force work.
The Parking and Traffic Board will meet for their first session this fall, Frickey said. The board is comprised of four students, four faculty members and seven from Security and Parking and Facilities Planning.
mittee recommended in April such items as on-campus collection boxes and mailable tickets for the payment of fines. Frickey said this report was sent to Chancellor Archie Dykes.
"I AM NOT on the board to cure the residence hall's 'parking problems,' Frickey said. "We are going to deal with campus-wide problems. I would say that the person who parks in X zone and pays $7.50 is in equally bad shape as a resident of a hall who pays $17.50."
Frickey said the board would try not to cater to special interests because this had happened, he said, on past boards. Frickey said he was going to be a consultant for students on the board to learn the parking regulations with the University's parking problems. One of the fallings of past boards, Frickey said, was that they

didn't really understand all the problems they dealt with.
"GUESS that it is human nature, if nothing else, for everybody to walk to park next to where they are."
Frickey said original permitt assignments weren't changed unless there was a need to issue a permit for a different zone. Frickey said parking assignments had been a hot point of controversy in the past because some people were really unhappy about their permitt assignments.
Fricieck said that he thought there had been some inconsistencies in the assignment of parking permits in the past and that he hoped policies could be formalized this fall.
Frickey said parking permits for faculty had been based on the basis of research needs, how many years he was teaching, etc.
were tennured. Other reasons for permit assignments, Prickey said, were the position of the person responsible.
The KU parking permit comes in two forms. One form is the campus permit, which costs $27.50, and the other is the residence hall permit, which costs $17.50. Parking zones and their permits have been designated since last year. For example, a person with a red permit can park on any red lot on campus.
ANOTHER OF THE CHARGES made by sexen to the Parking and Traffic board was to study the possibility of parking fees based on geographic location of parking lots. Frickey said this policy would indicate the inherent value of being able to park on campus rather than down the hill.
SenEx has also asked the board to make recommendations on parking fees. Frickey said that the cost of parking at KU was very expensive compared to other universities and that he wanted the board to be very hesitant about increasing the cost of parking permits.
Print Service Booming Business
$1 Million Industry Grows from Old Fraser Service
By CARL YOUNG Kansan Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas Printing Service, which now does about $1 million worth of business each year, started out in 1904 in the basement of old Fraser Hall, according to Thomas C. Ryther, former director of the printing service.
Ryther said the Alumni Association bought a letterpress in 1904 that was used to print the alumi newsletter and various student papers.
In 1911, the Alumni Association bought a Linotype set, and Merle Thore became
the journalism department head. Ryther said Thorpe persuaded the Kansas Legislature to buy the association's Lindtype for the journalism department.
"When it came to persuasion," Ryther said "old Thoreau was a real ball of fire."
Rythr said that Thorpe thought it was important for journalism students to have a working knowledge of printing because most of them would go to work on small presses or they were graduated. Journalists of that time had to publish the paper as well as write news.
Fraser to Medical Hall, known as the Shack, Rythan said. The printing office moved to the new building last summer.
When he became director of the printing service in 1940, Ruther said, the demand on the printshop was high, and it has been steadily increasing since then. Increased demand led to more equipment, but when World War II started, the printshop ran into trouble.
Most of the men working in the printshop were drafted, Rytter said, and that left him with a lot to do. He also
Outreach to Expand KU Offerings
By KEMPTON LINDQUIST

Expansion and development will be objectives for the University of Kansas outreach Program during this academic year. The Outreach team will tree chancellor of Outreach, said recently.
"I don't ever think I will forget the day the boys came home from the war," Ryther said. "We were happy to have them all back."
The Outreach office was created this summer to coordinate efforts to make the capacities and facilities of the University available to the entire state.
Ryder said he always tried to hire students when they needed a job to finance the project.
This year, "Our principle concern would be to increase the extent to which the
University of Kansas provides a variety of educational opportunities for people who are not able, or for whom it would be in need, to attend the Lawrence campus," Calaarga said.
The University offers correspondence courses throughout the Midwest. Continuing education centers are in many locations in Kansas, Calgaard said, including Colby, Garden City, Wichita, Leavenworth, Topeka and Kansas City.
The University also has a speakers bureau and helps many communities with project planning.
on the printshop increased, but there were fewer trained people to run it.
The signal is carried from the station at 11th street and residence halls by special telephone lines.
The station was started in the fall of 1953, on the second floor of Flint Hall, with the call letters KDGU. In 1968 the call letters KOK stand for the University of Kansas OK standing for the University of Kansas
Radio Station KUOK Used For Practical Experience
"The student voice of the University of Kansas" is the slogan of the campus Amr instruction, KUOK. The station is a practical lab for students in broadcasting classes.
In the fall of 1958 KUOK moved to the basement of Hohd Auditorium. It stayed there until the early 1960s.
The station, 630 Am on the dial, is received in eight residence halls from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., seven days a week. The electric cables in the building act as the sounder to the station, Paul Hulse, Lawrence junior and the station's manager, said recently.
The students working at the station must be enrolled in a broadcasting class. The students receive no salary and work up to 40 hours a week to earn a maximum of two credits.
facilities at Sudler House garage in the fall of 1972.
Plans are being made to make KUOK an FM station so it can serve more students. Students are invited to send in ideas that will help KUOK better serve its purpose of being the student voice for the students, Hulse said.
Off-campus course work offered this fall will include courses in public administration at the Capital Management Complex in Topeka, varied credit courses in adult centers across the state and short courses for pharmacists throughout the state.
The major thrust of the Outreach program will be in Topeka and Kansas City, Kan., because of their geographical locations and population sizes, Calgard said.
"If a kid looked as if he halfway knew what was going on," Ryrhe said, "I couldn't turn him down. That's the way I got to school, so I never could say no to them."
Calguard said the University hoped to expand the short course program to other programs.
The School of Fine Arts is sponsoring a chamber music series. It will include recitals by the Dimor Quartet, the London Virtuosi, the Concord Quartet, the Quartetto Cecilia di Roma and the New York Brass Quintent.
Expansion of the Outreach program will be in many areas, Calgary said.
A primary concern is to establish community advisory committees to determine community needs and determine how the University can help in meeting those needs.
The program will explore possibilities for
a new graduate and possibly under-
graduate degree in an area of interest.
Also in the Concert Series will be the Newport Jazz Mini-Festival, which will be held in April. Other events in the series will be announced later.
"Polynesia!" a dance festival troupe from the South Sea and Hawaii, will perform Nov. 6. Their program includes dances, songs and instrumental music from Tahiti, Tonga, Fiji, Maori, Samoa and Hawaii.
Ryther retired as director of the printing service in 1966 to become a full-time journalism professor. He became a professor when he retired from teaching in 1970.
"There is a strong tendency on our part to tell people what they need and what we would like to offer." Calgaard said. "I think that we will not be successful until we are much more sympathetic to what the community needs are, what educational needs are not being met and how we can address those needs."
Calgaard said the University hoped to significantly expand several conferences and institutes to inform people across the state about current research on campus.
Many of the students that worked their way through school at the printshop became newspaper editors, Ryder said. Raymond Nichols, chancellor emeritus of the University, worked at the printshop in the 1920s while he was an undergraduate.
The Thomas C. Ryther Printing Museum, a collection of old printing presses, is located in the printing service building. Ryther said that among the items he helped create are Simplex typesetter, a Civil War printing press and an antique Pearl Press.
There will also be a faculty recital series. Twenty recitals are presently scheduled. These will include several recitals on the horn, trumpet, clarinet, violin, organ and trombone. Dates of the performances will be announced later.
"A JOURNALISM STUDENT should at least have a general idea of what happens to his paper when he it leaves his typewriter, Rither said. The journalist's journalism school should be close together."
Ryther said it was a mistake to move the printing service from Flint Hall out to West Belfast, but there was no immediate need.
Phillippe Entremont, nationally-known French concert pianist and recording artist, will perform Oct. 11. Entremont made his American debut in Washington, D.C., when he was 19.
"I suppose our sales are not quite at that level, but they are tending in that direction," he said.

An increase in paper costs is the main reason the printing industry buys the $1 million bill. Smith said,
Smith said the price of newsprint went up about every three months.
This year's Concert Series will include an orchestra, a concert piano, a mute troupe, and a ballet troupe.
"Polynesia!" performs in costumes copied from authentic costumes.
The printing service, which currently employs 90 persons, prints the Kansan, the Ankara, the Alanya and the University stationery; the University Press books and the enrollment timetables.
The London Symphony Orchestra will be
performed in the series. They will
perform Sept. 10.
In September will be a performance by the Loreto-Hilton Mime Company in the U.S.
