Union textbook ordering to be discussed
Members of the University of Kansas administration and the manager of the university's library, Dr. Jeffrey Davis textbook ordering procedures and book sales to Outreach students.
Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said yesterday he called the meeting to find out what his office could help members order their books earlier.
Calgard said he, William Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs, and J. D. Christensen, Union bookstore manager, will assist with the training and persuade the faculty to get orders in on time.
Chrestman said the bookstore plauged each semester by faculty members who turned in textbook orders late, which has caused complaints about the lack of books
He said he hoped the meeting would provide ideas to develop better communication between faculty members and the bookstore.
Balfour said, "We're just trying to get everybody coordinated in the bookstore can do."

Considering 1,000 more students enrolled this semester than expected, he said he didn't see any way the problems of a book shortage could have been avoided.
New beer tabs may be safer, reduce trash
Press-tab beer can, designed to alleviate environmental pollution and the safety hazards caused by pull-tab cans, have been introduced by the Adolph Coors Distributing Company.
On top of each can are two discs, a quarter-inch disc that drinkers push out with their thumbs to release pressure in the can. The rim that they press out is the rim that they press out to drink from.
Of the 11 states in which Coors operates,
Kansas is the seventh to receive the new cans.
Cliff McDonald, owner of McDonald Beverage Inc., the local distributor of Budweiser, and an Ahuewer-Busch Inc. used a similar press-tab can in several states and probably would distribute it in Kansas sometime in the near future.
Coors hopes to have press tab cans on the market in all 11 states by 1976.
