AURH contest to light up residence halls
By BEN JOHNSTON
Staff writer
The Association of University Residence Halls hopes to spread a little Christmas cheer this holiday season and share it with students of a Christmas decorating content.
aul Gloyer, Topeka junior, has put Christmas lights in his ninth floor hallway Hall room early in hopes of winning a $100 prize for best window
Between now and Dec. 8, each floor of each residence hall will be able to put up lights and decorations in their lobbies and in residents' windows. The floor with the best lobby and the floor with the best window will receive $100 each. Second prizes will be $50 and third prizes will be $25. The money will go to the floor governments.
Ross Nigro, Kansas City, Mo., junior and president of AURH, said that for several years AURH had sponsored a Christmas decorating contest that included only the cafeterias of residence halls. This year AURH encouraged floor governments to become involved by offering prizes for the best-decorated floors, Nigro said.
Nigro said that he and several other members of the AURH executive board would judge the floors Dec. 8, which is stop day. They will judge both windows and lobbies of each floor in each hall. Nigro said
He said he and the other executive board members would be looking for unique decorations such as a cardboard gingerbread house that was placed around the entrance to a residence hall cafeteria last year.
"Anytime there are decorations they are usually pretty similar." Nigro said. "We are talking little artistry something that looks a little time to look for."
Nigro lives on the sixth floor of McCollum Hall. Last year, residents of the floor decorated the lobby with a cardboard fireplace with real stockings hanging from it. The decorations were not part of an AURH contest, Nigro said. But he participated in the AURH competition when he helped decorate McCollum's cafeteria.
"Decorating the floor was a lot of fun," Nigro said. "We had a lot more
fun doing the decorating just for the floor. We got to know more people."
James Malench, Edwardsville, Ill., senior and president of Ellsworth Hall, said that the residents of his floor would probably decorate the lobby the day before stop day and

decorations from the Association of University Residence Halls. The decoration contest will be held December 8.
"The decorating should help to build floor unity," Malench said. "And before finals, people are under some stress, and the decorating is a

nice relaxing activity."
Malench said floor government money would be used to pay for most of the decorations. But some residents also may buy decorations, he said.
Customers recall 20-year history of Lawrence bar
By JENNIFER ROWLAND Staff writer
For Karen Barnett, Lawrence resident, the Sanctuary was a place to go Saturday afternoons after KU football games.
Now that the bar, 1401 L. Seventh St., has closed after more than 20 years, Barnett said she know what she'd do after games.
"I guess we'll just out go somewhere and eat and go home," Barnett said, shrugging her shoulders. "That's a shame because this place was really wild after football games."
Other regulars such as Sarah Eiesland, Teopka junior, say a tradition ended when the Sanctuary closed Saturday night.
"we came by because we wanted to come by the last night." We brought a few friends tonight, and we are going to close it down with us."
"I've known people who come here and their parents have come here," Eiesland said. "It's a nice mellow place, and it's not a meat market. It's a good place to come and have a drink and talk with friends."
Troy Maas, Phoenix, Ariz.
senior, worked at the Sanctuary as
a doorman about three years ago.
He used to be a regular at
the bar.
"I never thought it would close, though," Maas said.
Some people went to the bar for
the first time Saturday night.
"I just turned 21 and, I wanted to see what it was like," said Marybeth Stewart, Lawrence resident.
"My Dad used to come here, and he really feels bad about it closing." she said.
But some customers didn't know Saturday was the last night the bar would be open.
"It's kinda sad in a way," said Kent Lente, KU graduate and Kansas City area resident. "I always thought it would be here if I wanted to come, and now I find out it's the last night."
Guy Janousek, KU graduate and Lawrence resident, said he was disappointed the bar was closing, but he said that many people he knew thought the bar had closed already.
Betsy Lata, a waitress at the Sanctuary, and her twin sister Jamie Lata, a part-time employee there, said they would miss the bar.
Ace Johnson, owner of the Sanctuary, said he was pleased with the last night's turnout, which he said was about 275 people.
"I love it," Betsy Lata said. "This is the best job I ever had. We're all buddies. It's great."
"I'm kind of sad to see it go, because it was fun working here," he said.
Rob Johnson, Sanctuary manager, has worked there for one and a half years.
Kansas' NOW chapter to fight Kennedy's court nomination
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer
The Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women will organize a letter-writing and phone call campaign to protest the nomination of Judge Anthony M. Kennedy to the U.S. Supreme Court, Kansas state coordinator Debby Brown said Friday.
Kennedy is President Reagan's third nominee to fill the position of retiring Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. NOW also opposed the nomination of Robert H. Bork, Reagan's first nominee. Bork's nomination drew criticism from many groups, and his nomination was rejected by the Senate.
would oppose Kennedy's nomination. NOW is one of the first interest groups to oppose Kennedy. Yard said Kennedy's past decisions proved he would not be supportive of women's struggle for equality.
Confirmation hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee are scheduled to begin Jan. 20. Brown said local protests would begin several days before the confirmation hearings.
Molly Yard, NOW president,
announced last week that NOW
"We'll try and make it coincide with everyone coming back to school." Brown said.
Jean Rosenthal, assistant state coordinator for Kansas NOW, said the Kansas chapter had been waiting to see what stance NOW would take nationally before planning anything. She said the state chapters would be
receiving position papers soon about Kennedy's past decisions on many issues.
One of the decisions NOW protests is Kennedy's rejection of a comparable worth law requiring equal pay for equal time. Brown said.
Pam Skarda, Omaha, Neb., junior and president of the KU chapter of NOW, said nothing would be planned on campus this semester because of finals and because opposition to Kennedy would not be as vehement as opposition to Bork had been.
Skarda said Kennedy probably would be confirmed by the Senate.
"I think he's going to be a shoin- in." Skarda said. "Anyone Reagan is going to nominate is going to be anti-banker and anti-trust rights. But he's better than Bork."
Exhibit features printer's works
Staff writer
By MICHAEL MERSCHEL
Parts of a design experiment between a Prairie Village hobby printer and one of the most prominent typographers of the 20th century are included in a new exhibit at Spencer Research Library.
The display, "The Crabgrass Press of Philip L. Metzger," opened Friday at the library. Several hundred samples from Metzger's small Prairie Village print shop are displayed in the eight glass cases that make up the exhibit.
The exhibit consists mostly of bookmarks, party invitations, Christmas cards and other small projects that Metzger printed.
Featured in the exhibit are 12
pages from the "Orbis Typographicus," a project Metzger worked on for 10 years with famous typographer Hermann Zapf. The pages combine Zapf's designs with Metzger's works and combine Richard W Clement, assistant special collections librarian and curator of the Metzger collection.
Eric Young, St. Louis senior and designer of the exhibit, said designers in particular would be interested in pages displayed from the project, which show the cutting edge of design possibilities for the printed page.
Metzger's family, who attended the exhibit's opening Friday morning, donated the materials that make up the display, Clement said. Metzger
died in 1981.
Clement said Crabgrass Press was a part of the modern fine press movement, which started in the late 19th century. Fine press printers print by hand or on small motorized presses, he said.
Fine press printers usually don't make a living from printing but pay much more attention to detail than most hobbyists, he said.
Metzger, former vice-president of the Kansas City Power and Light Co., had a reputation as being one of the best. Young said.
"Phil had a real knack for the fine craftsmanship of printing, so he would work with some of the best designers," he said.
