No KU author approaches Samelson's total, but Steve Gewitt, textbook manager at the Kansas Union Bookstore, said some KU authors consistently sell up to 2,000 copies of their books each year to KU students.
AMONG THESE are a physics laboratory book by Glen McGonigle, physics instructor, and Kenneth Armitage's introductory biology manual.
McGonicle was unavailable for comment yesterday.
Armitage, professor of physiology and cell biology, said his manual earned about $1.000 each year in royalties at a rate of 10 per cent of the wholesale price.
He said that he donated the royalties to the Endowment Association to finance his graduate students' research.
BEATRICE WRIGHT, professor of
"It seemed to me to be the best use of the money." Armitage said. "University activity generated the royalties, so I think it should go back in."
KU opens starry eyes
Every clear Friday night, about 39 people make their way to the roof of Lindley Hall.
The public stargazing sessions are the joint venture of the KU department of astronomy and the Astronomy Associates of Lawrence (AAL).
Steve Shawl, associate professor of astronomy and director of the observatory, said yesterday, that the group used the observatory's eight-inch reflector telescope to survey the sky. The number of qualified personnel available determined whether more telescopes were
used. The observatory has seven telescopes
used. The observatory has seven telescopes. Viewers get to Lindley's roof by going to room 506 and climbing the stars. Members of the staff work in AAL supervise the star gazing session.
Some of the sights include double stars, star clusters and other galaxies, he said.
One featured sight for stargazers this month is the planet Jupiter, which rises above the eastern horizon after sunset. It can also be seen in the southwestern sky after sunset.
The observatory is open to the public from 8 to 10 p.m. every clear Friday.
psychology, said she donated the royalties for physical rehabilitation programs.
Leland Pritchard, professor of economics, said he received 16 per cent royalty payments for the text he used in his money and banking class. He said there was no conflict of interest involved because his book is used at several other universities.
"It would be questionable if the text were used only at KU," Pritchard said. "If a text is used at other places, that means it is a good book and it should be used here."
John Bremner, professor of journalism whose book is required in most editing classes, said he wouldn't comment because he had already seen the faculty was too involved with the Kansan.
Stanley Shumway, professor of music theory and composition, said his text was used by about 80 colleges. He said the 10 per year courses he taught were an integral part of KU each year was an insignificant sum.
Hillesheim, professor of education, said that the book was an anthology and that he had to split the royalties with another author. The book received five per cent royalty payments.
THE BOOKSTORE sells about 300 new copies of James Hillems' "m" in *Theory and Practice* in the History of American Literature, each year at $13.50 a copy, Genuity出版。
"It's so small—I certainly hope it wouldn't be considered a conflict of interest."
DOWN SAID AFTER the meeting that "hopefully, this will vote for cool down the opposition, so that they not only think of starts, but also start to think with their heads."
In other business, commissioners will hear the appraiser's reports for public improvements. Most of the improvements are for street paving and sidewalks, sanitary sewer and storm sewer improvements in the Pioneer Ridge, Alvamar and Deerfield Park districts of northwest Lawrence.
The Federal Highway Administration and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will decide early next year whether Lawrence receives funds for the decision will be used, in part, on public reaction to the loop from groups such as ELIA.

The planning commission has said, however, that present traffic around Alvamar on Quail Creek Drive and Tam O'Shanker Drive is partially a result of the PUD revisions to the employees. The PUD revision would completely eliminate this employee traffic.
