What to do if you don't have a carpet ball
Centuries-old pastimes seem sedate now
By JAN MAXWELL Kansan Staff Writer
The average University of Kansas student spends his spare time indulging in a variety of odd pastimes. For example, the majority of the student body drinks beer to whittle away extra hours. Another large group of students spends spare time shooting the

The Spencer Library has a variety of puzzles and pastimes of the 18th and 19th century on display.

'High priest of pot' sentenced for snuffbox drug smuggle
"He poses a threat to the community," the judge said after sentencing Leary. "His conduct has been such that he openly advocates violation of the law. He poses a danger to other persons."
Leary was convicted Jan. 20 at Laredo, Tex., of transporting from Mexico into Texas three ounces of marijuana hidden in his 18-year-old daughter's underwear. A month later he was convicted in California-with his wife and son of possessing marijuana and LSD. He will be sentenced in California on March 11.

HOUSTON (UPI) — A federal judge called Dr. Timothy Leary a "threat to the community" Monday and sentenced the high priest of drugs to 10 years in prison for smuggling a snuffbox of marijuana into the United States from Mexico.
The silver-haired Leary, clutching a cornco pipe, took the sentence with a smile, grabbed his miniskirted wife and kissed her for 10 seconds.
"Love cannot be a prisoner," shouted the 50-year-old former Harvard lecturer as he was hustled handcuffed through a courtroom crowd by two burly U.S. Marshals. He was taken to the Houston airport for a jet flight back to California.
Leary's lawyer, Mitchell Standard of New York City, said he will appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to get bond which was denied by U.S. District Judge Ben Connally.
read Monday from a prepared statement. "But love is free."
"Judge Connally is right. My husband is a menace to society," said Mrs. Leary, wearing rose-colored glasses which made her teary eyes look even redder. "We are a menace to the community which makes a mockery of the Constitution.
"If he were a thief he would be out on bail," Mrs. Leary said.

A jigsaw puzzle was not cut, as are the puzzles of today. The 19th century jigsaw curiosity was a set of cubes with a different picture on each side of the cubes.
Possibility you would be fortunate enough to have a three-dimensional viewing plaything publicizing the opening of the tunnel under the Thames in 1843. You would look through one of three peep-holes in the end of the toy and view a portion of the tunnel with cardboard figures of people standing at the opening.
Literature of the 18th and 19th century did not quite reach the level of "Myra Breckenridge." You would be reading one of several annuals, which were weekly or monthly magazines republished as a single volume around Christmas time. Like many 19th century periodicals, they carried serialized stories.
