eBay
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Tony Johnson, assistant to the network administrator for the School of Journalism, also a frequent eBay seller. Johnson said he got into eBay in 1997 after a family friend introduced him to it.
"I don't really sell any one thing in particular," Johnson said, "just any sort of collectible stuff that might be sellable."
Johnson said he often found items to sell at garage sales and auctions, and years of selling had fine-tuned his ability to select what to sell.
"I made $80 on a 1950s phone amp that I found in a free box at a garage sale," Johnson said.
Johnson also collects KU
memorabilia, which he sometimes sells on eBay.
"The last thing I sold on eBay was an old KU pennant that I found at the antique mall downtown," Johnson said. "I made a pretty decent profit on that."
Many students at KU have used eBay to make purchases from home, including Ben Bullington, Lawrence junior, who bought computer memory from eBay.
"It's pretty cool that you can get on there and buy just about anything you want," Bullington said.
Despite being widely used all over the world, Bill Dalton, Lansing junior, said eBay had not changed the way he and his friends shop. He said that even though they frequently
scanned eBay for Garbage Pail Kids memorabilia and rock climbing equipment, they rarely purchased any items.
Henning said his positive experiences with eBay had changed the way he shopped for bicycles and bike accessories. He said his experience as a salesman
— both on eBay and at Wheeler's — and as a collector had made him a better judge of how much certain items were worth.
"I have trouble buying stuff from shops anymore," Henning said. "With eBay you can get so much stuff that's used but still functional that it's kind of hard to go back to the stores and buy there where it's marked up so much."

Raises
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Whether and how much to raise wages beyond $6 an hour is at the discretion of the schools and departments, Eakin said, but many students will receive raises of about 50 cents an hour.
students who make between $6 and $10 an hour may also see raises. Eakin said money would be given to the schools and departments to increase student wages.
Molly Bleier, Topeka senior, makes $6 an hour working at
Wheatwavers, the snack shop at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union.
Bleier works about 20 hours a week at Wheatwavers and 20 hours a week at Applebee's, in addition to taking 18 credit hours of classes.
Bleier is able to study during slow times while working at Wheatwavers, which helps her manage her schedule.
"My friends all call me insane," she said. "I don't know how I do it."
Eakin said student employees were vital resources to the
University, and the increased wages would help the University compete with off-campus employers for student workers.
That kind of convenience draws students to on-campus work. Eakin said.
Bedore works overnight hours at the front desk in Templin. Like Bleier, she also studies while at work.
"Even if you're shelving books at the library," Eakin said, "it's better than flipping burgers."

Wilson said friends had been in and out of their house all day and their presence had helped with their grieving.
"When it's your roommate, it's a little different circumstances," Wilson said. "We have to walk by his things every day."
man in Kennedy's upcoming May wedding, Kennedy said.
Knisley helped his friend Chris Kennedy, a 2001 KU graduate, get a job with him at AlloFe Solutions in Lawrence. Kennedy lived with Knisley for a year at the fraternity and considered him a close friend. Knisley was going to be a grooms-
"He was just someone that always had a smile on his face," he said. "You always knew if you were going to hang out with him, you were going to have a good time. There's just too many great memories to pick one thing."
