New union will close Daisy Hill Bookstore
The Daisy Hill Bookstore, Hassinger Hall, will close when the satellite union opens in 1979. Warner Ferguson, associate of the Kansas Union, said yesterday.
"It is a losing proposition," he said. The bookstore, operated by the Union, has been about about $2,000 the last five years, but will be open until the new union is built.
"The RANGE OF our income above expenses is between $20,000 and $30,000 a year," he said, although some college student unions are having financial difficulties because union unions is difficult because their structure and organization are different, he said.
However, over-all the Union is doing well,
financially. Ferguson said.
"We try to be self-supporting," he said. "We could operate at a break-even point. That would be the minimum acceptable." Fergason said the philosophy here gave students first priority and faculty, staff and offices second priority.
"We are a student union," he said. "The key to our success has been student support and the help we've received from the student leadership."
THE MONEY ABOVE expenses is kept in fund, which may be used as working capital.
Problems facing the Kansas Union include meeting the budget, space problems and staff issues.
No complaints have been brought to my personal attention," he said. "But I am aware that there has been some student violence in our school." It was brought up in the Student Senate.
Last year the Union remodeled the main lobby, and this year Frank Burke, Union director, asked the Senate to raise the Union user's fee of the activity fee $1 to help absorb increased operating expenses, especially higher utility rates. The Kansas Department approved the increase last week. The makes the fee for a full-time student $25.50.
FERGUSON SAID THE money used to remodel the Union had been earmarked for a new bridge.
"The majority of funds came from a state account that could not legally be used for income taxes."
Due to the results of a survey released in 1975, a study of student needs cannot be made (3).
That report, compiled during the preceding four years, will be used as an indication of student opinions about the Union. Ferguson said.
"To it again would take a lot of time and money," he said.
The report indicated that students wanted a common area with a record shop; soda machine; coffee shop; wine bar; beer, plant and money order sales; banking services; mailboxes; an ice cream饼师; ballet boards; a metal ticket plan; more classroom and typewriter for rent or immediate use.
MOST OF THE SERVES wanted are offered now. Ferguson said, and in sme

The report also recommended that the Union take an active role in the planning of Clinton Reservoir because of possible disturbances in the business Discovery Program, Ferguson said.
"We haven't done that yet, though, but it will probably be down the road," he said.
"WE WANT TO have a place to store
sailboats and that is a possibility,"
Farman said.
He said the Union didn't own any land at Clinton Reservoir, but the Kansas University campus.
KU jazzmen take honors at Tulsa Jazz Festival
Two KU jazz bands brought home six awards from the University of Tulsa Jazz Festival last weekend. The festival featured two Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.
The 12:30 dazz Ensemble, directed by Jim Barnes, assistant to the director of band ensembles, was selected as the outstanding big band in the contest. The ensemble, entitled KU band, as named for the time it rehearses each afternoon, Barnes said recently.
Three of the four soloists in the 12:30 Jazz Ensemble were awarded outstanding performance. Belle Glade, McCurdy, Belle Glade, Fla., graduate student, who plays trumpet and flugelhorn; Irving Curtis Jr., topper, who plays bass; William Village freshman, who plays trombone.
McCurdy, who studied at Florida &M University, directs the other KU jazz band, the Tuesday-Thursday Band, named after the days it rehearses.
Two members of that band also were awarded outstanding performance citations: Chris Leason, 10; Kentucky St., Chris Leason, 10; Dick Buckhus, Greenwood, Mr. freshman, John Smith.
Both bands have 21 members. Today they left for Wichita to compete in the annual Wichita Jazz Festival. Barnes said he ex-
presses his admiration to be much tougher there than in Tulsa.
Barnes, who began directing the 12:30 band this year, and he was pleased with the new music.
Before 1973, KU had no jazz bands, he said, but the school is becoming intricate. "It's one of the best," he
