SINGLES: line up three shows
Continued from Page 1A.
Dolores Ringer, a theater and film professor, said, "They take a lot of interesting risks with the things that they do."
Single White Males was created last year after a similar group, Waiters To Be, disbanded. Reiss said the name change took place because two girls who joined the group never showed up for practice.
But since the name change, a woman has become a Single White Male. Blair Bitters, Overland Park junior, joined the group last year.
"Every now and again, you can feel the dynamic that one person isn't a guy," Elrod said. "But gender isn't something we're interested in."
The three performances will begin at 7 p.m., 9:30 p.m.
and midnight. Tickets for each performance cost $4.
"I's honestly going to be one of our best performances yet," Kloner said. "We've all gotten to know how each other works."
City recognizes low-income housing needs of the poor
People in need of low-income housing in Lawrence may soon find their needs met more effectively if an ordinance passed by the city commission last night does what city officials hope.

Kansan staff writer
Help is on the way
The ordinance established a Housing Advisory Council and a Housing Practitioners panel. The groups were designed to provide better organization and direction to the 25 groups in Lawrence, including the Salvation Army and the Lawrence Housing Authority, which provide housing services to indigent Lawrence residents.
Commissioner John Nalbandian said some sort of organization was needed for the groups so that the housing needs of the poor were met more efficiently.
"The thought is, why don't we get them all together so that they can talk to each other about what they're doing, and maybe we will get some
cooperation and coordination going." he said.
The practitioners panel will be comprised of 25 representatives from interested agencies and organizations. They will be appointed by the director of the Housing and Neighborhood Development Department.
The panel's duties will include sharing information on current and future programs, financial needs and coordination issues. The panel then will make recommendations to the advisory council as to what types of strategies and funding are needed to address housing issues, such as providing housing for low-income families, the elderly and the homeless.
The council then will make recommendations to the city commission about programs, financing and other strategies concerning housing needs in Lawrence.
Mayor Jo Andersen said that with the formation of the council, the Housing Advisory and Appeals board will be dissolved. The duties of that board will be absorbed by the council.
County bets on lowering Woodlands' taxes
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan.— The struggling Woodlands racetrack, hit recently by competition from riverboat gambling in Missouri, has come out a big winner in a five-year battle with the county about lowering its property taxes.
A settlement between Wyandotte County and Sunflower Racing Inc.,
owner of the Woodlands dog- and horse-track, will reduce the track's market value and property taxes by 30 percent throughout the next three years, the county commission learned Friday.
The reduction also means the track paid nearly $1.7 million too much in taxes for 1992 and 1993 and that amount must be returned or credited to the track by the governments that
spent it.
The reduction will cause local city and county taxes to increase a little, but that's better than the alternative, said County Commissioner Richard Kaminski.
"The Woodlands still will be one of our biggest taxpayers. They also pay tax on their equipment and pay sales tax," he said. "If they have to close, how much tax will we get on an empty
lot?"
The Woodlands appraisals were lowered about $18 million per year for 1992 and 1993. The new market values total $41.9 million for 1992, $40.9 million for 1993 and $39.9 million for 1994.
The Piper School District, in the Kansas City, Kan., area, receives the biggest share of Woodlands tax money.
