China comes to Wescoe with woman's Yo-Yo yen
If you wander through Wesco Hall some noon and suddenly hear a noise that sounds as if the Jovians are landing, don't be alarmed. It's only Sue Schumock performing tricks during her lunch hour with her Chinese Yo-Yo.
Schunok, secretary to the chairman of the department of Oriental languages and literature, said yesterday she started using the toy about a year ago. She said it was brought from China by a former head of the department, who let her use it when his granddaughter, for whom it had been intended, wouldn't play with it.
Schumock said her 4-year-old son had gaded he to be adept with the toy, an hourglass-shaped Yo-Yo with two glasses and a piece of string tied between them.

Gannett renews J-school grant
The grant, established in 1975, provides coa a professional journalist to teach at a university.
A $60,000 grant from the Frank E. Gannett Newspaper Foundation, Inc., was awarded to the University of Kansas William Allen White School of Journalism, which will continue its newspaper professional-in-residence program for the second year.
Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Journalism, said yesterday the grant paid for the salary, moving, traveling and incidental expenses of the professional, in addition to the search for a qualified applicant.
The second appointment, effective fall 1977, will be advertised nationally, and candidates will be brought to KU for interviews.
Brinkman said the search committee, which handles the interviewing and selection, would base its decision on criteria considered for regular faculty members.
Robert Giles, who was appointed the first professional-in-residence last semester, will maintain that position until his ap- piration at the end of the 1977 spring semester.
Giles was the former managing editor of the Akron Beacon Journal.
son came in and just did it," she said. "No practice, just did it."
She said noise which comes from air rushing through holes cut in the Yo-Yo, frequently attracts crowds, even from Wescoe's first floor.
"I have one Yo-Yo that can be heard from here (the second floor) all the way to the first floor." she said.

Apartment dwellers face furniture choice
"She asked me to come in and told me to sit anywhere. I looked around and noticed a woman staring at me.
Living in an unfurnished apartment is living on one plane—the floor. But, with some used furniture and a little resourcefulness, you probably can be furnished for less than $100.
Freeman's Used Furniture, 1145 Pennsylvania St., sells many items students would need to furnish an apartment. The price for furnishing ar apartment with a lamp, dinette set, chest of drawers, desk, bed and divi danges from $50 to $162, Marjorie Freeman, the store's co-owner, said yesterday.
THE QUALITY of the items varies, but if the student isn't preoccupied with aesthetics, he should be able to get what he wants for about $100.
"We're lower on furniture now than we've been in weeks," Freeman said while surveying the still crowded room of furniture. Students coming in looking for furniture."
Chuck Ledom, owner of Ledom's Used r furniture, also said his normally bulging supply of used furniture was low because of the cold weather. Students needing inexpensive furniture.
"There are a lot of students that just don't have very much money," he said. "I try to be fair with my prices so they can afford to live."
Wood crates, spools and nail keks make good furniture but are hard to find. Some grocery stores receive fruit shipped in crates, but these crates usually are burned. Spools sometimes can be found along the walls of a house and good quality seine, or near oil derricks. Nail keks sometimes can be found near construction sites.
Recently, a garage sale near 19th and Barker had chairs for $10, bed posts and rugs for $2, a table for $8, and two bamboo chairs. We asked the owners to read. "Are we too high? Make an offer."
MAKING FURNITURE is cheaper than buying new furniture, but it takes time. Kris Jedlicka, Lawrence senior majoring in textile design, made an easy chair from muslin fabric and laid she got the back panel, which cost about $80, from a Butterick pattern.
GARAGE SALES usually have a few bargains for students, and the prices often are lower.
Elvira Angeletti, interior design teacher for the Lawrence High School continuing education program.
"I like the inexpensive wicker look," she said. "This can come off smashing in many different ways and is adaptable to almost any environment."
ALTHOUGH DECORATING a room can be expensive, Angela said one of her favorites was the glass window.
decorate their rooms functionally and similarly.
"I used a $29.95 wicker sofa, three $15 chairs two $10 tables," she said. "I made white duck pillows for the sofa and chair, I made pink power curtain drairies and a few plants."
Plants and trees give an apartment an attractive, airy look if they are properly designed.
"You can't take a whole bunch of garbage and put it together and make it look good," she said. "Ninety per cent of the people don't know their furniture styles, and so you get a hodgepodge of what they call the celestic look."
ANGELETTI SUGGESTS most people should undecorate rather than decorate. "The simple look is much better," she said.
If decorating is too demanding and buying furniture too expensive, the apartment dweller can always resort to boards, bricks and campstools. With but 1 x 12 pine boards coating its walls, it costs $40 to build from 50 cents to a dollar and campstools about three dollars, the poverty-striken student may have to live with only one piece of furniture—the floor.
