Drive-ins nostalgic relief for quickie-burger blues
By LOIS PRESS Staff Reporter
It is the age of the don't-make-me-wait hamburger. In many hamburgers these days, speed is more important than
But some burger buyers may want something more than a let-me-in and get-me-out approach.
Henry's Drive-In, Ninth and Missouri streets, has a drive-in window, but people who go inside are treated like a friend, Jean
Some drive-ins in Lawrence may have the answer.
Collins said she kept the coffee pot in a place accessible to customers so they could pour their own coffee.
Henry's caters more to the family than the individual, she said.
Colins said her customers did not mind helping themselves and they felt they were a part of the family.
COLLINS SAID she did not know why few KU students were customers but guessed that the distance from campus was a
Roy Woolf, owner of the Iowa Street Drive-In, 254 Iowa St., said he hoped the old-fashioned taste of burgers in the 60s was his specialty.
"I tastes like a burger you used to get 9 years ago," he said. Wolfe's dolfur is in similar to those of the 50s, although there are fewer men who eat it now.
Under the former owner, the drive-in, called Breaker, had waitresses on roll skates.
Wolford said such gimmicks would not work in Lawrence, even though it was a college town. The idea originated in Hollywood where people are more gimmick-oriented but Lawrence is more conservative, he explained.
Wolford said he depended on college students to support his business.
Wolford said the leisurely atmosphere of a place where you just drove up, gave your order through a speaker and waited for the bell.
"IF IT weren't for the University of Kansas, I wouldn't have opened it here," he said.
Dense Heffley, Overland Park freshman, said she liked drives because they had a casual atmosphere.
"You can be with your friends in the car and say anything you want and he招呼 if you want to," she said.
with him or rowdy if all men did. She said Heffley also said she liked drive-in because there was no worry
& AWDrive In, 143 I, Sixth St. is still exactly as it was in 1959, Martin Bubbard, manager, said.
The only thing that has changed since then is the way orders are taken, Hubbard said.
"THEE USED to be a waitress to take the order but now we have electric speakers." he said.
rumbard estimated that 8 percent of his customers were students and that many of his customers were families.
One A&W fan, Karen Stulsatis, Derby sophonore, said she went to A&W because she liked the root beer.
Simzaa also said she was watched on. "I'm late," she said, "I don't like to get out of the car."
Vista Drive In, 1927 W. Sixth St., is popular for its drive-thru,
Mike Gausen, owner and manager, said.
He said the drive-thru concept "used to be fun" but that it was not a major selling point now because drive-up windows had become too large.
GASPER SAID that 30 to 40 percent of his business was from a good college trade" and that half of his total business was from a retail trade.
Students who drive up for a quarter-pound burger at any of these drives-in will pay from 85 cents to 99 cents.
While larger franchises also have hamburgers priced at 89 cents and 99 cents, they seem to concentrate on just being fast—

Muses theme of Spencer exhibits
In Greek mythology muses were the daughters of Zeus, King of Gods, and Memosyne, Goddess of Memory. They also were thought to be clairvoyant mythical personalities and inspirational-giving forces in creative and intelligent activities.
At the Helen Foreman Spencer Museum of Art the muses are the opening tribute to a series of nine gallery exhibits and special programs that began last March and will continue until December 1979.
Each individual program of a muse concentrates on different life forces. The nine muses are: Calliope, The Epic; Urania, Astronomy; Polythymia; Religious Festival; Thalia, Comedy; Eurydice; Athena; Tyrpheus; Terpsichore, Dance; Melpomeon; Trapedy; and Euterpe, Music.
The museum has already presented the muses of History, Love, Dance, Tragedy and Music. Epic is currently on display. The remaining muses to be present are Astronomy, scheduled for the most prominent festivity in the fall of 1979 and Comedy, fall and winter of 1979.
Dolo Brooking, project director of Spencer, said that the programs of museums was meant to find a link between the museums and the public. "We're trying to get people interested," she said.
"The Greeks view the world as being much more complicated than we do." Brookink said. "In that time, their schools were called
"What we are trying to demonstrate through our program is that a museum is not only a place to contemplate, but also a place to experience."
"muses," and they also held athletic events, music festivals and debates there.
To encourage the community participation in "Musing in Museums," Brooking, along with Saralyn Reece Hardy, program coordinator, and Maria Lee, who produces the Muse lounge residents, KU students and faculty to contribute to the programs.
Glenice Matthews, graduate student in jewelry and silver-smithing, has her work on exhibit for the current muse orgram.
Matthews' work carries titles from Greek mythology, but she did not do the work especially for the program. It was by coincidence that her personal interest in mythology, which affected her work, prompted the museum to ask her to participate in their program.
The current program emphasizes Calliope, the muse of the Epic, which Brooking describes as a life story that includes a hero, a challenge, personal enlightenment and discovery. The program explores the lives of famous Greek heroes. Along with exploration, an audience must see the movie "Easy Rider."
The "Musing in Museums" program, which was developed by Brooklyn, is being funded by a $90,000 grant from the National Education Foundation.
