Watkins faces busy season
The Student Alumni Association will have a general membership meeting at 7 tonight at the Adams Alumni Center.
The room is filled with students. Some read magazines or newspapers, and others work on homework. Some of them even sleep. They are all waiting to see a doctor at Watkins Memorial Health Center.

This is the peak time of year for students to use Watkins. A person can wait up to an hour and a half to see the play.
"What we try to do is get the word out," said Jody Woods, director of nursing at Watkins. "If we can catch them within the first 24 hours, it can really cut down in the time they have it."
"Basically, we're entering our busiest time of the year." he said.
Part of the reason for the wait is that now is the most common time for people to have upper-respiratory infections, Yockey said. Influenza cases also have started to occur among students.
Yockey you, "Flu patients take longer because you have to see if they have any complications.
"The students have been fantastic. The ones who have had to wait have been understanding, and the ones who

"I don't think it that bad," she said. "I've kind of planned for it. You can't come and go in an hour. It's kind
Another reason for the long wait is that Watkins is short of doctors. One doctor left earlier this year to help in the
But the increase in work for those in the clinic also has led to an increase in work for the pharmacy department
Until then, Watkins staff members have been asked to attend their lunch periods and work on their days off. Jackey said.
Yockey, who is in the Air Force reserves and was told Saturday he had been activated, said his last day of work would be today. He will go to Travis Air Force Base in northern California.
John Baughman, Watkins pharmacist, said many department served 120 to 150 students daily. Workers sometimes have had to work before or after the school day, and they had things such as stocking and keeping track of inventory.
New intrastate bus service proposed

TOPEKA — A Wichita man thinks he can provide bus service to all the major Kansas cities, with a little help from the state.
"We've seen a great demise in our
Wayne Templeton, president of KANSA Bus Lines Inc., unveiled a proposal yesterday to the Senate Transportation and Utilities Committee to start three bus routes that have been abandoned by Greyhound-Trailways Bus.
"I don't have the financing to do it and that's why I'm here today," Templeton told the committee.
He said he was seeking $1 million of state money to subsidize the service the first year, $750,000 the second year and $500,000 the third. After that, he said, KANSA would be self-sufficient.
The company also would provide chartered tour service and freight
One of the routes would connect Lawrence with Wichita, Salina, Fort Riley, Manhattan, Topeka and Kansas City, Kan. A second would run through at Wichita, Thetford and Arlington to Wichita. The fourth would start at St. Francis and run through Hays, Russell, Great Bend and Hutchinson to Wichita.

"This committee is interested in your project," Morris said to Templeton. "We want to provide service to those communities. But we're also pretty practical when it comes to subsidizing things."
Templeton said the chartered service would cater to senior citizens.

Now KU can afford to dream in color.
If you thought that finding a color Macintosh system you could afford was just a dream, then the new affordable Macintosh LC is a dream come true.
The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors. It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds
adding voice or other sounds.
Like every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same consistent way-so once
you've learned one program, you're well on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to the versatile Apple SuperDrive, which can read from and write to Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/2, and Apple II floppy disks.
Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch yourself.
Low-cost color Macintosh LC's now available at the KU Bookstore.

It's better than a dream—it's a Macintosh.
