Prices fluctuate in local gas war
For over four months, Lawrence service stations have been fighting a gas war.
Yesterday morning premium gas prices were 35.9 cents per gallon at Don's 66 Service. By noon they had dropped six cents there.
This price flux was almost a repeat of Wednesday's action.
ON TUESDAY, a string of stations in North Lawrence increased rates. A few did not. Lo-Boy Oil Co. was one of the few.
"I'ta a big checker game," said Lo-Boy attendant Marvin Gibbs. When the Tuesday price jump raised some North Lawrence regular gas to 29.9 cents, Lo-Boy upped a penny and held the line at 23.9.
That night the other stations lowered prices.
MOST STATION managers,
when asked "Who started it?"
echoed Harold Twigg. Twigg
manages Potter's 66 Service. He
said, "I don't really know. I've
got some ideas, but I don't really
know."
One station operator remains untroubled. Requesting anonymity, he said, "I've got steady customers, and they're not price conscious."
He also said Kansas prices were about the lowest in the Midwest and that Midwest gas prices were the lowest in the nation. He suggested that small-town rates are always more apt to fluctuate than prices in the larger cities.
Some operators suggested that an attempt to increase and stabilize prices might be forthcoming, but today the war goes on.

Elevator damaged
5
an unknown person damaged an elevator door worth $500 at McCollum Hall early Sunday morning when he attempted to take a stolen road block to the ninth floor.
Brain
Jon Howell, men's resident director, said the person put the board through the roof of the elevator and on the way up the protruding end struck 4,000 pounds of counter balance weights in the shaft "exploding" the board.
Officials said the offender has not been identified but that he was reported seen by many residents of the co-educational dormitory.
Howell reported the door was being re-made by the manufacturing company in New York. The facilities will be out of use for at least two weeks.
PIZZA LOVERS,
We will be the first to admit, NO ONE can deliver a pizza as fresh as just from the oven. We think everyone knows this, but, when it comes to delivering any food, the quality of the product depends on: A. Time involved; and B. Type of heat used to keep it hot.
We can make most of our pizza deliveries in 15 to 20 minutes. But our speed is important only for your satisfaction. We can keep pizza at exactly the proper temperature (154 degrees) and at just the right humidity (84%) for hours. This is because we have the only humidity controlled delivery ovens in town.
If you want your pizza fresh from the oven, come on out to the Corral at 1401 West 7th, or if you're too busy, give our deliveries a try tonight.
