Paper demand envelopes campus
Paper weighs heavily as one of the materials used by the University of Miami.
The University every year uses more than a million pounds of paper supplied through the University printing service, according to Robert W. Jaefer, assistant director of that company, who said of that, 400,000 pounds in newsprint used for newspapers and class schedules.
The University also uses between 50,000 and 60,000 pounds of bond paper and about 10 million envelopes a year. Jaeger said, all of which are supplied by the printing ser-
Each year the University must submit usage figures to the state division estimating its probable paper usage for the coming year.
The purchasing division combines the University's figures with those of other
state agencies and asks for bids from paper companies for large quantities of paper, according to Gene Puckett, director of purchasing.
The contracts with paper companies,
which usually are in large part to bail out a
company for about $500,000 or more,
The printing service and the office supply store buy paper as the need arises throughout the year, asking for specific weights, weights and types, Puckett said.
The office supply store sells paper and clerical supplies to all departments of the University and various state agencies, including branches of programs that operate out of KU, such as the Bureau of Child Research, according to Kathy Jansen, assistant manager of the office supply store.
The supplies, which had a total cost of
$65,640 for the past fiscal year, are available to anyone who has a University account but aren't sold to individual faculty members or students. A student entering the store needing to buy a pencil can't do it without having an organization with an account, she said.
Departments are supposed to purchase supplies from the office supply store. In a year, the store sells more than 38,000 ballpoint pens and less than 27,000 No. 2 lead pencils. Jarsen said.
The supply store doesn't really seek bargains in chemical products, Jansen said, but tries to find the lowest prices for products of comparable quality, she said.
The average amount of money spent by the University on postage stamps for 15 work days this month was $363 a day, exclusive of the amount spent through postage meters in more than 10 KU departments, she said.
For example, the store is phasing out IBM typewriter ribbons and is trying to replace them with two brands whose cost is between $1 and $2 lower per dozen, she said.
No general trend toward rising prices has been seen in the store's purchases of supplies, she said, although prices tend to fluctuate with individual products.
Paper prices have remained stable for several months, Jansen said. Most of the paper is used by printers.
Access roads added in new Clinton plans
For example, the store sells 2,500 rolls of adding machine tape a year, 2,500 threeing binders and almost 800,000 index cards, she said.
The roads were added at the intersection of the proposed parkway and Achison Ave., which is 4,000 feet west of Iowa Street, and which is adjacent to it. It is outside the city limits. Sanderson said.
The store sells more than 18.6 million sheets of duplicator and mimeograph paper in a year, she said, and more than 2,000 legal pads in that time.
Two access roads have been added to the city's road network. Sanderson, sanity streets, Thursday.
Sanderson said the plans also included one temporary access point onto University of Kansas property immediately west of Iowa Street. The University is planning construction that will provide access to that waterway through a public access area west of the temporary one, Sanderson said. He said the temporary access road would be closed when the other access was available. Sanderson met with the Douglas County Commission and with Dick McClanathan, director of county zoning and planning, Thursday to discuss access to the parkway. Clinton Parkway is a proposed extension of the current 4.1-mile parkway will connect Iowa Street with Clinton Dam, which is under construction.
The points were added because the plan submitted by the project consultant, Finney and Turnipseed Consulting Engineers, didn't agree with city and county planning, Sanderson said. He said that the consultant had placed access roads at each half mile, but that the city and county had planned for access roads to be built each quarter mile. He said that the city had changed called for a total of 14 access points, including 11 placed on the half-mile marks and three placed between half-mile marks.
In addition to clerical supplies, the University has office furniture and fixtures, which are valued at $4.4 million, including typewriters, file cabinets, chairs, desks, tables, adding machines and calculators, Mary Frances Coffman, inventory accountant for the University purchasing office, said.
The corrected plan will be submitted next week for the approval by the Lawrence City Commission and the county commission, Sanderson said. He said it would then be sent to the primary impact statement, to the secondary impact of the Kansas Department of Transportation and to the Topeka office of the Federal Highway Administration.
Nov. 1 date set for Beach Boys
The Beach Boys will present a concert at Allen Field House Nov. 1.
According to Rich Lindeman, SUA concerts chairman, final contracts between the promoter and artists were signed Thursday. The promoter and 45 and all seats are reserved, he said.
The University owns between 1,000 and 1,200 typewriters, according to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, and each of them uses about one typewriter ribbon a month. They also publish about 12,000 ribbons and about 4,800 contractable ribbons each year, Jansen said.
Lindeman said tickets to the Benny Goodman homecoming concert would go on sale Oct. 13. The $4 and $5 tickets will be available at the Music公司, 926 Massachusetts St., be said.
The discrepancy between the consultant's plans and the plans of the city and county caused a delay of several weeks, Sanderson said. He said the environmental impact statement wouldn't be finished by April 15, 1976, as had been planned.
New newspaper to be published
"New journalism" is coming to Lawrence.
Soon people in Lawrence will have a chance to read a local newspaper besides the Kansan, City Moon or the Lawrence Daily Journal-World.
The newspaper, Public Notice, will be a monthly news service for and by people in Lawrence, Mark Kaplan, 1032 New York St., said last week.
The slogan of Public Notice will be "Every Reader a Writer." he said.
"A lot of people are tired of the boxed-up,包装ed, so-called objective style of writing in the Kansan and the Journalist's profession. But I will experiment with subjective writing."
The paper will make liberal use of his own journalistic styles, he said, just as now in journalism.
People need a chance to express their opinions, he said. Kaplan said that the letters-to-the-column in the Journal-World was too small and that Public Notice would provide a forum for people in Lawrence.
Kaplan said he thought it would be easy to get people to write for the paper. Many citizens have expressed a desire to see their ideas in print, he said.
“There are also a lot of frustrated journalism students in the University who are tired of being told to write a certain way,” he thinks of some them will write for the paper.
One rule that will be followed carefully,
is the use of correct spelling and
lemmatization.
The first issue of Public Notice will have four pages, all of it devoted to the Haskell Loop and written by residents of east Lawrence. Kanlan said.
Some of the residents still are unhappy that the Loop's been built, he said, and the paper will examine the funding and reasons for building the Loop. The emphasis will be that the Loop is unnecessary and that it will hurt the neighborhood. Kanlan said.
The first issue of the paper will be free to residents of east Lawrence, he said.
Kaplan said the problem of costs didn't been solved. He said he was uncertain how much the paper would cost readers or how large the circulation would be.
