Skunks rank among area's pests
Staff Writer

Almost every nose in the area has at one time or another been startled by the pungent ool emission by a cute (from a skunk) little black and white creature—the skunk
Wherever he goes his presence is noticed, though not always welcomed. Many skunks live in this area, and although only a few are seen, one knows they're here.
In March 1976, the abundance of skunks around the Jayhawker Towers apartment building were spotted.
THERE HAVE BEEN reports of people being sprayed by the skunks, and one skunk was reported to have gotten into the dryer of one of the laundry rooms at the complex.
Pest control companies have been called in to handle the problem, and private "skunk trappers" have been asked to help remove the numerous air pollutants.
The skunks are still around, says George Korch, Boston graduate student, who is doing his master's thesis on the occurrence of rabies in skunks.
KORCH SAID yesterday that skunks often moved from wooded areas to residential areas when the weather became hot and food for the skunks became scarce.
He said that although they were present, the skunks actually weren't being sighted often, or at least he hadn't heard of many sights this semester.
Korch said that the late evening and the early morning hours were the most common times for skunks to come out of hiding, and that they seldom moved through open areas. He said skunks made great additions to kiddie lots. He said skunks usually stray close to hedges, garbage cars and trash piles.
HARRY BOYLE, Lawrence sanitation worker, said that his crew often skunks

The campus housing office hasn't received any complaints this semester either, J. J. Wilson, director of housing management, said.
One person at the main desk of Joseph R. Pearson Scholarship hall said that about a week ago a resident entered the building sprayed by a skunk in the parking lot.

"PEOPLE WERE asking for the magazine about a month before it came out." Linda Nelson, sales manager at the Keven Elena Food Store at 2500 Iowa St.," said. "I think part of the reason people were asking to come in was the interview was in the October issue."
The program, sponsored by SUA, will be at 8 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium. General admission tickets are $3 and are on sale at the SUA box office.
The company, based in New York, has been touring the United States this year and is planning to expand its operations.

Nelson said that Seven Eleven received the November issue of Playboy boy last Thursday. She said that because the national election is Nov. 2, many people probably didn't think the article would be in the November issue.

The Town Crier, 711 W. 23rd St., usually doesn't sell all of its库存 of supply about 100 copies of Playboy, Lissa McQuin, sales manager. Because this month because of the Cartier article.
"IN FACT, the month before, people were
still not saying for Elston, "and they're'
still asking for 'm'."
Linda Elsten, sales clerk at the Kansas Union, said the magazine went on sale three two weeks ago. She said the Union's supply of Playboy magazines usually lasted the entire month, but that this month they were sold out in less than a week.
"Everybody was buying it, not just the regular readers." McQuain said.
Nov. 19-20 A Brief Vacation and The 10th International Tournee of Animation
Art Hallenbeck of the Seven Eleven Food Store at 3025 W. 6th St., said he was impressed by the Carter interview's effect on the magazine's sales.
"It's had quite an effect," McQuain said. "The magazine came out two weeks before it was supposed to because there were so many requests."
NELSON, TOO, that people who didn't usually play Boyboy were asking for them.
"A lot of women have been asking for it," Nelson said. "They're all embarrassed. They say, 'I've never read Playboy before, I don't understand.' A lot of people are really eager to get it."
She also said she had noticed a different one of customer playing Playboy this night.
