Child-care center location debated
The grounds of Stouffer Place apartments are a prospective site for the new child-care center on campus.
But the president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association is concerned with the idea.
Ed Meyen, executive vice chancellor, announced in a memo to the Facility Users Planning Committee this week that Stouffer Place, which is located between 19th Street and Irving Hill Road, held promise as the site for the center.
"The site offers the needed amount of space, and the location is compatible with the family functions of Stouffer Place." Meyen said.
But Tony Jones, president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association,
said he was concerned about the safety of the current residents of the 275 apartments.
"There's a possibility of them opening up Ellis Drive all the way," Jones said. Ellis Drive currently goes into the Stouffier Place apartments from 19th Street but does not go all the way through to Irving Hill Road near Burge Union. He said that the influx of more traffic would cause more safety concerns for residents.
Traffic levels would be high from 7 to 9 a.m. and from 3:30 to 5 p.m., he said.
looking for a site that was accessible, had sufficient green space for a play area, was safe, had parking and would not be crowded by a new building that would require considerable surface space.
"It would create a serious problem for people who park and live here," Jones said.
Meyen said in his memo that it had been difficult to find a site that was close to campus and lived up to the needs of a new center.
The potential for creating an environment conducive to child care is excellent at Stouffe Place, Meyen said. He also said the area had parking, accessibility and was aesthetically attractive.
Meyen said the committee was
"The facility could be designed to accommodate the 'community center' needs of Stouffer Place," Meyen said.
The site would be good for expansion reasons, Meyen said.
He also added that wherever the facility was placed, the facility would have to be designed to hold 250 children, with a expansion capacity of more than 300.
Expert tells about population conference

Slowing world population growth will require social equality for women and universal access to birth control, said Werner Foros, president of the Population Institute in Washington.
The consequences of overpopulation are a depletion of the Earth's resources and irreversible wild pollution, Formos told a group of about 20 people yesterday in the Kansas Union.
"Water pollution and air pollution don't have boundaries," he said. "While we're meeting here in
"Too many men spread their seeds to the four corners and then walk away," he said.
The goals were listed in a declaration. They included an eighth-grade education for all women, paying jobs for more women and increased male responsibility.
Kansas, forests are shrinking, and deserts are expanding."
Fornos discussed some of the goals agreed upon by delegates to the International Conference on Population and Development in September in Cairo, Egypt.
Formos said that contrary to the suspicions of the Vatican and Islamic fundamentalists, the delegates did
"Abortion is not a method of family planning." he said.
not call for more abortions.
Formos took an opportunity to condemn the treatment of women in some parts of the Muslim world.
"Many in the Islamic world cannot tolerate that kind of improvement of women's lives," he said, noting fundamentalists' objections to the declaration.
Encouraging the Vatican to sign the declaration took some finishing, Fornos said. Delegates had to change the phrase "family planning" to "appropriate planning of families."
