CAA food surveys reported in Kansan
A survey to help University of Kansas students shop for food more economically in the Lawrence area is being conducted by the Consumer Affairs Association (CCA).
Judy Kroeger, CAA director, said yesterday that the association would take a weekly survey of basic food staples at eight Lawrence supermarkets to determine which supermarkets offered the lowest prices on certain items.
A food chart of the weekly survey will be published in the Kansas every Friday.
In addition to the survey of basic staples, CAA will conduct in-depth surveys of students who popular with students, Kroger said. Next week's survey will list breakfast cereals.
She said the purpose of the in-depth survey was to give students a price range for certain foods and to give the prices offered by each supermarket.
The survey, which will be conducted
Mondays and Tuesdays, also will cover Lawrence food co-ops. Kroger says the coops especially would be considered in surveys of fruit and vegetable prices.
According to this week's survey, no one particular store has the lowest overall food prices; each was lowest in a certain area. The stores are often offered, either the stores are fixing prices, she said.
Unless otherwise noted on the survey chart, the listed item is the lowest possible value.
She said one problem that CAA volunteers had encountered in conducting the survey was the lack of house brands at some locations. "The houses tend to be higher than on house brands."
Eventually, Kroger said, CAA would like to provide information on food prices from the Manhattan area so that KU students can learn Lawrence prices with those of that area.

Two dollar bills made their debut in the Lawrence area in April, and were snached up by the anxious banks of coin collectors who wanted them for sentimental reasons.
The popularity of the $2 bill has faded. It's value is the same, but not its fame.
Circulation of $2
After almost six months of circulation, the $2 bill sometimes is rejected or frowned upon. Lawrence bank employees and merchants said yesterday.
Judy Wenger, vice president of the Lawrence National Bank and Trust Co., said the circulation of $2 bills was "very poor."
She said that there weren't many requests for the bill, and that it was inconvenient for tellers to pass the bills out because there were no trays in the cast drawer for $2 bills.
Most cash drawers have compartments for four bills $1, $5, $10 and $20 — and a tray
WENGER SAID bank tellers often had to stack the $2 bills separately from the money
Most cash registers have removable cash trays, Bod Mann, sales manager of Leeds Cash Register Col Co, Kansas City, Mo. The company began to purchase five-bill compartments.
Food stores have experienced the same problems, but cashiers can place the $2 bills at the register.
He said the Safeway Co. in Kansas City had recently bought 300 of the new trays.
ANOTHER PROBLEM with the $2 bill is
it often is mistaken for the $2 bill or
the $1 bill.

Health week to be noted
Gov. Robert Bennett is expected today to proclaim the week from today through Thursday as Kansas Health Week.
This would coincide with the KU Medical Center's Health Days program today and Thursday that is designed to help rural Kansas communities attract doctors and medical personnel.
Community representatives will have the opportunity this afternoon to discuss the medical practice in small towns with medical students and hospital residents at the Radisson Muehlebach Hotel in Kansas City, Mo.

Sermary said she had heard complaints of
mistaking the $2 bill for other bills but she
had not experienced it herself.
Another bank teller, Donna L. Jennings,
First National Bank of Lawrence, said some
people flatly stated that they didn't want
them.
Discussion about recruitment of medical students and residents also is scheduled for Thursday at the Broadview Hotel in Wichita.
However, local food stores aren't having the problem of customer rejection of the $2 but buying it at $1.99.

was treated as all others were and maybe better.
"Some even ask for the bill, and we say fine," she said.
Whatever the public's reaction to the now source 29 bill, it will continue to be pushed hard.
BARRY ROBINSON, public relations director for the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Mo., said, he thought the government still was pushing the bill.
He said he thought it was too early to tell whether the public would accept the new policy. "I think it would be better."
way back to the Federal Reserve Bank, he said.
Robinson said that, over a fiveyear period, more than $35 million in printing and handling costs would be saved if some $1 bills were replaced with $2 bills.
Robinson said that, for 1976, the government was to issue 400 million $2 bills to Federal Reserve Banks for distribution to commercial banks.
"After all, the initial reason for the $2 bills placed in circulation was dollars and cedar coins."
