KU pickers no longer grinning

Max Tenant, a bearded scraggly haired football-playing guitar player, sat with his six string on his lap in the Dean of Science room at the University of Kansas Events Committee. He'd been picking guitar in front of Wescoe police officer told him he had to stop.
"It was a nice day out, and I wanted to see him," she said, was telling the receptionist in the office.
The receptionist responded, "I can understand that, but there are many classrooms in that area, and you might have disrupted them. Especially in this weather when everyone has the windows open."
"The windows don't open in Wescoe Hall, do they?" he asked her.
CARYL SMITH, acting dean of women,
entered the office and explained to Tenant
that he could fill out a form requesting to
play on campus, submit it to the events
committee and attend its meeting
Wednesday to secure permission to play.
"We can't have you play in front of
high academic intensity areas," she told him.
She said he could request to play in another area of campus, such as Potter Pavilion, where music wouldn't disturb classes. He needn't come to the events committee meeting if he didn't want to, she said.
TENANT SAID, "I'd rather be there. I have my guild, the law. And I'll make my guild with it."
Smith said later that the events committee procedure was part of the University's attempts to "preserve student rights."
"We're helping protect the campus environment both for and from students," she said. "We get all kinds of folks coming in to attend and a large majority are accepted."
Smith said that anyone who wanted to perform or hold an activity on campus must secure the approval of the events committee by petitioning through the Dean of Women's Office. No solicitation of donations from activities benefits profits from activities benefit the University in the form of nonprofit or students aid.
TENANT SAID he said 'soliciting funds but was playing for envoys.
There had been "considerable complaints in the last eight or nine days," Smith said.
mostly concerning guitar players such as Tenant.
Scott Jarsus, a student member of the events committee who reported Tenant to the RU Police yesterday, said most committees were filled by students on the committee.
"We control the entire campus, except for West Campus, as far as events go." Jarus said. "Ideally we have one representative from every University department at the committee meetings, although usually only about 12 or so people show up."
JARUS SAID of the campus guitar play, but things could get carried over to play.
He walked away with the dulcimer strung over one shoulder, a guitar over the other.

freshman, was strumming yesterday on a dulcimer, a small stringed instrument played with hammers, on the lawn near Wesco for 10 minutes before he was asked to stop by a University police officer.
not an event. I was just playing my guitar." Bernstein said that he had played near Wesco for the last two years without securing a permit and was never asked to stop. Tenant also said that he had played on campus many times without a permit, most recently Wednesday afternoon for two hours.
MAYOR B. L. ELISSON of the KU Police Department said it was hard to draw the line between what was and what wasn't an event.
"The main objection to unscheduled events is that they distur班 classes." Ellison said. "I think anyone who has doubts about the events committee" a permit from the events committee."
Ellison said that any person or group that didn't have a permit from the events committee could be removed from the campus if he refused to leave, although such incidents rarely happened. He also said that he would have attended events if enough people gathered.
SMITH SAID, "A speaker should clear his speech through the events committee if he
The events committee meets every Wednesday during the academic year, and most requests are ruled on within a week, she said.
Tenant said he would show up next week for the meeting.
"I want to tell them that there were people walking away from me while I was playing, but most of them were humming," he said.
Bookstore rebates fall from6 to 5 per cent

The Kansas Union Bookstore has a
haven't had a sometimes
have a budget to match.
However, he said, the Union Bookstore is one of few university bookstores that gives students access to books.
Mike Beahon, assistant bookstore manager, said Wednesday that because of rising salaries and higher operating expenses a decrease in this semester's patron rebates from six per cent to five per cent was necessary.
"The purpose of the rebate is to make available some of the profits to the students. As long as our finances are healthy, we intend to continue it," Beahon said.
A NUMBER IS printed on each receipt designating the six-month purchasing period. The student's receipts are for period 60. They are valid from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31 of next year and can be exchanged at the bookstore for a cash rebate of five per cent of the total receipt price.
The bookstore has been returning money to students for about 30 years, Pat Wolfe, Kansas Union administrative assistant, said yesterday.
In deciding what percentage rebate to give each semester, a financial committee report to the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation Board recommended three ways to support the present program as a way of sharing profits with its patrons, it must provide adequate support to the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation Board even if it does not. It also must and it must rebate not less than four or five per cent to keep the program effective.
SINCE 1967 the percentage of unclaimed rebates has grown from eight per cent to 52.9 per cent in period 57 which was completed June 30.
The bookstore budgeted $48,000 for period 42 in 1967 when there was a seven per cent rebate. It paid $44,172 in rebates that period and $5,328 in rebates per cent of the rebate money, unclaimed.
After a four per cent rebate was offered in 1972, 34 per cent of the rebates were unchanged.
In the last complete period, a six per cent rebate were offered and $35,171, or $2.9 per cent of the money, wasn't rebated. That amount was put into a reserve for expansion fund
WOLFE SAID she couldn't explain why students weren't claiming their rebates.
"In these times when there's such a
crunch for money, you'd think people would
 want to get their money back, but they're
 not." she said.
Keeping the students informed about the rebate program has been a problem, Wolfe says. "I've tried to educate students about the program through brochures, newspaper advertisements, signs in the bookstore and at school." She sales people tell students to save receipts.
WOLFE SAID that no other rebate system was feasible. Publisher's prices and a general increase in book prices make it possible for publishers to lower by lowering book prices, she said.
As the program exists, it is up to the students to save receipts and redeem them while they are valid, Wolfe said. "Let the students have the money, it's their's," she said.
