City votes to raise utility fees
By Carlos Tejada

KU students and other Lawrence residents will pay more for their water, sewage and garbage removal next year.
The Lawrence City Commission last night voted 5-0 to raise water and sewage rates by 8 percent for each service, an increase of $1.84 and $1 per month respectively for the average user. They also voted 4-1 to increase the flat rate Lawrence residents pay for garbage pick-up from $8.96 a month to $9.23 a month.
tection Agency and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said Mike Wildgen, city manager. Those projects include sludge and waste water treatment, he said.
Water and sewage rates need to be raised mostly to pay for projects mandated by the U.S. Environmental Pro-
Although it passed unanimously, some commissioners doubted the current system's effectiveness. Jo Andersen, Lawrence mayor, said the city wasn't doing a good enough job replacing older pipes that taint the water in older neighborhoods.
The average water and sewer charges, $21.66 and $12.94 a month respectively, are based on an average Lawrence household usage of 8,000 gallons a month. That same household would pay $23.50 and $13.94 a month under the new rules.
The commission also approved the rise in garbage pick-up rates with questions. Bob Yoos, city solid waste superintendent, told the commissioners that part of the increase was to make up for costs incurred serving the city's west side as development grows. But commissioners questioned why those residents' fees didn't already pay for the increase.
Yoos also said part of the increase was due to inflation costs and due to cost-of-living increases for staff salaries.
Yoos told them the new areas meant a new route to the area, which meant more capital was needed to buy equipment.
Speaker stresses multiculturalism
By Nathan Olson
Kansan staff writer
Greer Dawson Wilson believes that though our tapstry of multiculturalism may be tattered, it still can be mended.
Dawson Wilson, director of the University Union at the University of Virginia and a multicultural specialist, spoke to nearly 50 people last night in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union about creating a multicultural center.
Dawson Wilson said that multiculturalism could be viewed as a giant tapestry. The weaver builds a tapestry, which can be any size or
shape.
"What's special about it is that it's a lot of colors," she said.
The tapestry and the weaver also are needed to create a multicultural center.
"The ideal would be to create a multicultural center like a tapestry, in which all the parts work together," she said.
Dawson Wilson said that what was needed was an environment in which all the parts could merge. She listed several strategies for merging, including the following:
Value individuals
Acknowledge ignorance
Take some risks
Challenge the system
Create civility and community Dawson Wilson said that a multicultural center should be for everyone.
"If you are creating it for people of color, you will fail," she said. "If you are creating it for the entire community—for people to learn—it will be successful."
Milton Scott, chair of the programming committee of KU's proposed multicultural center, said Dawson Wilson was part of a series of speakers, workshops and dialogues that would raise awareness about the center.
