Used book sale ends today
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer
Some came looking for schoolbooks, some for magazines, some for cookbooks and some just for a little fun reading. But the Lawrence Public Library's yearly used book sale had something for everyone.
"This is a good sale. There are more mysteries out this year, and more cookbooks," said Dan Cole, Lawrence resident, Cole and Suzanne Kerich, also a Lawrence resident, each bought a stack of books.
Kerich said she wasn't looking for anything in particular. "I just pick out whatever looks interesting."
Alan Gleue, Lawrence graduate student, was at the sale for the second year in a row. "I know they are all year to have it, and it's really economical. I find a lot of old textbooks, and some fun reading," he said.
Most books and magazines are sold for less than a dollar.
The sale, which is in the garage below the library at Seventh and Kentucky streets, is organized by the Friends of the Lawrence Public Library. Money raised is used to buy new books for the library. Today is last day of the sale, which began Friday. The sale is open from 5 p.m. to m.
books this year.
All of the books sold at the sale are donated. Many of the textbooks were donated by KU students, Law firms also donate whole sets of law books, which brings in the law students, Weinberg said.
In addition, there are collector's books, first edition books, signed originals, antique books, rare books and just plain old books.

enough time. Weinberg said.
"Needless to say, a lot of books go Thursday night." Weinberg said.
Today is the Paper Bag Sale. Because it is the last day of the sale, people can pay $3 for as many books as can be put in a paper bag.
And then it starts all over again.
"It takes 11 months and three weeks to get ready for next year, starting on Tuesday," Weinberg said.

Gynecological clinic provides answers to student questions
Watkins Hospital has expanded its gynecological services so that it can better address students' needs.
By AMBER STENGER Staff writer
"Basically, our goal is to present, in the Gyn Clinic, the services that are available in any private gynecologist's office," said Henry W. Buck, chairman of the gynecology department at Watkins. "And we try to tailor what we do for the particular needs of students."
Buck said that the lifestyles of students, compared with other population groups, were unique and needed to be realized. For example, students needed more services in the community and sexually transmitted diseases.
To meet students' needs, the gynecology clinic offers a wide range of services.
Annual gynecological examinations, one service the clinic provides, are important, Buck said. This examination helps to prevent problems from arising in the future through early detection, and the visits are free.
By getting annual checkups, many women can prevent sterility and cervical cancer in the future. One sexually transmitted disease, chlamydia trachomatis, is difficult to detect and many women don't realize they have it. Between 20 and 40 percent of the women in the United States have chlamydia, which usually affects the cervix and can cause sterility. Symptoms can arise months or years after contact.
Buck said the incidence of chlamydia at KU had increased. Because of this, chlamydia testing will be included in the annual examinations by the end of the semester, he said.
Another sexually transmitted virus that Watkins is having to treat more often is human papilloma virus (HPV). This virus causes genital warts to appear on men and women. Some lesions may be present but not visible. If left untreated, HPV can lead to pre-cancerous conditions in the cervix.
Most of the genital warts can be treated at Watkins. But in some severe cases, Buck treats the patient at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
The clinic also offers contraception counseling.
Mary Jo Cink, registered nurse at Watkins, said she tried to help students in contraception methods that best fit their needs. All records were kept confidential.
Annual gynecological examinations are conducted by appointment. People with more urgent problems can be seen on a walk-in basis.
