Students look into schol halls
By PAM MILLER
Staff writer
High school students from across the state have come to the University of Kansas to take a sneak peek at scholarship hall living on campus.
The Snake Peek event concludes tomorrow morning
Sneak Peek activities started last night with the orientation and introduction of 40 high school students in eight scholarship halls on campus.
Residents who have volunteered to be hosts will give high school students informal tours of the campus and will take them to class today.
Sean Beckett, Topeka junior and All Schoolship Hall Council vice president, was in charge of organizing the activities of the weekend. He said it was a good way for high school students to find out about an alternative form of student housing that was not as familiar to the public.
"I think it's a good communication thing, because hopefully, they will go back and tell others about the scholarship hall system," Beckett said.
Last night, the high school students came to Pearson Hall to register. They then met with their hosts and toured the hall.
At 2:30 p.m. today in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union, high school students will attend a panel featuring "Student Life at KU: The Real Story."
The panel includes Diane Lindeman, assistant director of the financial aid office; Randa Dubnick, English lecturer; Tony Arnold, Wichita senior and Pearson Hall resident; and Kelly Tabbert, Topek junior and Douthart Hall resident.
High school students will go on formal tours of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Business at 4 n.m. Beckett said.
Today's activities conclude at Sellards Hall with a movie party at 8 p.m.
Kristi Brown and Sara Green, seniors at Wichita Northwest High School, came to KU to participate in Sneak Peek and both said they were excited to learn about the scholarship hall system.
Both said they found out about the weekend through their high school counselor, but Green said she knew about scholarship halls because her mother had lived in Douthart Hall when she attended KU.
"She's been bugging me about living in the scholarship halls forever," Green said.
Yearbook photos end today
By KAREN SAMELSON
But hurry, because today is the last day for seniors to have their pictures taken for the 1987 Javhawk Yearbook.
Say cheese.
"As usual, people are waiting until the last minute," said Clark Massad, Oklahoma City junior and yearbook editor.
But, he said, "There's plenty of room."
Massad said yesterday that at least 50 appointment times would be open today. Students with appointments get first priority, but walk-ins are welcome.
Seniors wanting afternoon sittings may call the yearbook office at 864-3728 this afternoon to make an appointment.
The photographic company,
Yearbook Associates of
Massachusetts, will be taking
pictures from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
and from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
today in room 121-B on the third floor
of the Kansas Union.
Seniors must pay a $3 sitting fee, he said, but if they buy a $23 booken when they have their picture taken, they get the siting for free.
The pictures will appear in the yearbook even if the students decide not to order any copies for
themselves.
Seniors may not use portraits from local studios for the yearbook because the yearbook has a contract with the photographers, Massad said. Jayhawker Yearbook used Yearbook Associates last year and was pleased with the results.
The photographer has been here all week as well as three weeks earlier in the fall, Massad said.
The University of Kansas sold mailing labels with seniors' addresses to the yearbook, and they sent out appointment cards, he said.
Havden examines money woes

TOPEKA — The state's financial crisis, which could result in cash-flow problems as early as next month, topped a list of problems Governor-elect Mike Hayden's transition team faced as it began work yesterday toward the Jan. 12 inauguration.
The state likely would be forced to institute an emergency allotment system to reduce spending later this month. Marlin Rein, a member of the five-person transition team said. The allotment system is a series of automatic across-the-board budget cuts designed to wipe out any rejected deficit.
Moreover, the transition team would have to develop a
plan to make even more cuts to restore a positive balance in the state's general fund bank account by the end of the current budget year, he said.
The state's panel of financial experts, called the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, warned last Friday that there would be a $13 million deficit by June 30, which is the end of the current budget year. The group lowered
projections of the state's tax-generated income by $83 million for the next eight months.

The consensus estimators said Carlin and Hayden would have to implement the allotment system to cut 1 percent to 2 percent from most of the state agencies' budgets or seek a tax increase.

OTTAWA — Lee Apparel Inc., the town's largest employer with 350 workers, will close its plant Dec. 19 because of declining denim jeans and jacket sales, a company spokesman said yesterday.
The plant closing is the third this fall.
The company shut down a plant in Huntsville, Ala., in September, and a month later a plant in Sulphur Springs, Texas, closed. Both plants had about 500 employees.
About two dozen workers at the Ottawa plant will be kept on past Dec. 19 for "wet processing," which involves the washing and finishing of denim garments.
Denim jackets and jeans are made at the Franklin County plant, said Tony Ahmennem, vice president of industrial relations at Lee's headquarters in Shawnee.
market needed.
Annemann said the company, with 20 plants nationwide, was producing more denim garments than the
"It's just a general downsizing of our jeans producing capability to fit the market," he said. "Our production capability far exceeds what our sales have been for the last year. The total denim market is down significantly."
The Ottawa plant, founded in 1949, is the town's largest employer and has an annual payroll of $3.5 million, said Bob Whitworth, executive director of the Greater Ottawa Chamber of Commerce.
The company said in July that it would close its jeans line in Ottawa, but new life was breathed into that area when the company shifted work from other plants.
The 350 displaced workers will receive severance pay and have insurance benefits for three months after they are dismissed. Annenmann said.
He also said they would be offered jobs at other Lee plants should positions become available, but it was unlikely that many spots would open up.
Lawrence police reported that a car stereo, valued at $150, was taken between Monday and Wednesday from a car parked in the 900 block of North Third Street.
A car stereo, valued at $350, was taken Tuesday from a car parked in the 1100 block of West 27th Street, police said.
A color television and a portable radio, valued together at $240, were taken between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. Wednesday from an apartment in the 2100 block of Harvard Road.
■ Police reported that a 1977 Chevrolet Impala station wagon, valued at $1,000, was taken between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 3:30 a.m. Wednesday from a home in the 400 block of East Seventh Street.
