Summer Session Kansan
Steam machines. Cold steel that warms quickly as the pressure builds. Well-oiled parts moving smoothly in a melancholy manner. The man who smiles at the engine's gentle throb.
Old steam engine is still puffing
That's Morris Cleveland. And that's his steam machine.
As neighbors saunter over to Cleveland's backyard at 1701 Indiana St., looking for the small clouds of steam and listening for an occasional cough from the engine, they grin at each other and wonder if o' Morris has got the running thing again. He has.
Cleveland, a retired construction worker,
found his engine in a junkyard back in 1965.
After a year and a half, it was a steam machine.
Cleveland said the engine originally built in 1833 was far from working order when he got it. Cars, motorcycles, buses and even an airplane were restored by donations to revive the old mechanism.
Cleveland crawls under his engine, left, to close off a water leak. The steam engines seat sports a design painted by Cleveland's daughter, Juanta Merriwether, above. After building up a full head of steam Cleveland takes the three and one-half ton for a drive down the street, right. At top speed he is still far below the speed limit.

WEAS EXPECTS to ask a 10 percent rent increase this fall over last fall. However, he said this summer's rates had not increased and weas offers special rates in the summer.
He said a three-bedroom unit that rented for $350 plus utilities in the fall, for instance, would rent for $325 with all utilities paid in the summer.
Jayahawk Towers, 1603 W. 19th St., also offers special summer rates. Any two-bedroom unit, which rents for more than $250 a week, may be booked for $150 with single occupancy and $200 with

The pride of 60 shows (steam engine machine shows). Cleveland no longer fires up the boiler too often. Maybe for a friend or two. Things have been quiet for the last couple of years and Morris seems pretty content to let the glory days go and just do what he likes to do . . . tinker with his homemade steam machine.

Owners afraid dogs being eaten
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Residents of a central Kansas City neighborhood are keeping a close eye on their dogs, fearful that their pets may be eaten.
"We didn't kill no dogs," the child said, interpreting for her mother.
Several killings of dogs have been reported in the neighborhood in recent years, and their claims claim a Vietnamese family there is kidnapping the dogs and killing them to eat.

Farmers try Libya deal
WASHINGTON (AP) — An American farm leader is trying to work out an apparently unprecedented deal to buy oil from the United States, and a return for wheat, corn and farm machinery.
Allan Grant, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, is conducting quiet negotiations with Libyan officials in an effort to ease the farmers' shortage of diesel fuel. More than 3 million American farmers are members of the federation.
If the talks succeed, farm cooperatives will import the high quality, expensive Libyan crude and sell their agricultural products to the oil-rich nation.
"What we would like to do is to develop a contract for continuing supplies," Grant
State Department officials said they did not think there would be any objections to the arrangement Grant was trying to work out.
"THE ONLY restriction we have is military training," one official, noted not to be identified.

"IF A STUDENT has a scheduling problem the computer will have complete control over the schedule and instructor performance. Besides there would be no more of the Club Week." Berlin said. "I think most students don't mind enrolment the way it is now."

Computers
Mauria said the real issue might be cost—not only the financial aspect, but time.
"I wish we had dumped the problem on the Student Senate," he said. "If the students want to pay, have it. If they don't, don't have it."
It will soon be known what changes, if any, will be made in the KU enrollment process, but Evelyn Swartz, SemEx, and SimEx have been given to computer pre-enrollment this fall or spring.
"It's a question of how to get through some of the present enrollment snags," Sonsa said.

**LIBAY IS** one of the most radical of the islands. It is known as Khaladiy, it is a bitter love for faith and Eugen.
Libya is reported to have financed terrorist raids against Israel, fought a brief border war with Egypt in July 1977 and has led Arab "rejectionists" in condaining Egyptian President Anwar Sadat for signing a peace treaty with Israel.
