Interest to restore housing builds
By JAY BEMIS Staff Writer

Interest in housing rehabilitation in Douglas County is growing due to a joint effort by Penn House and Coleman Consulting Services.
Coleman Consulting administers federal funds for the county. It obtained $225,000 in community development funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. From that grant, $50,000 was set aside for a county housing rehabilitation program.
Penn House, which does volunteer social work, has been assigned the task of impersonating a child.
Twenty-seven applications have been received so far for county rehabilitation work.
OOCEE MILLER, Penn House secretary, said yesterday that people living outside of Lawrence had priority in the program since the funds are in form of a county grant. However, several Lawrence residents have applied, she said.
"We're not encouraging Lawrence applications," she said. "But we will accept them if someone walks in and fills one out. Lawrence applicants will be filled later, and we don't want anyone to be upset because they have to wait six months."
To qualify for the rehabilitation program, applicants must live in Douglas County, have an annual income below a certain threshold and be tracked on and plan to continue to live there.
Seventeen of the 27 Douglas County applications have come from residents in Lecompton, with the others being from Eudora and Baldwin.
MILLER SAID interest in Baldwin and Winslow may grow after news of the PGA Tour.
Repairs will not be based on the looks of a
Maximum income levels are: $4,800 for a one-person home, $6,910 for a four-person home, $7,910 for a six-person home and $9,760 for a 10-person home. Income levels for other family sizes fall in between those figures.

RON CARLAGARD, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said "Iowa State is a really undistinguished university. Places like Iowa State and Wisconsin we expect to be on the list.

Hutchison said many new KU faculty members came from big cities, autocratic institutions or institutions with union ties, where were leaving because they were escaping.
"I isn't all just salary with people," he said. "And they don't come to me, and they don't leave because

they're escaping. Most leave because they get better jobs."
He said average salaries were too low to provide much low pay in a condition of recession.
SUCH A CONDITION would begin with university departments losing enrollment, the closure of financial institutions Financial exigency is at its most critical stage when all possible resources have been cut or shifted to compensate for the smaller enrollment, requiring the termination of student enrolle
"We're hiring very, very few above the assistant professor level for next year," said Mr. Baldwin.
Calgaard said, "We're not terribly anxious to add this to the list of tenure members."
There was less senior faculty level recruitment around the country now by universities, which explained KU's not so small number of senior faculty members each year, he said.
"WHEN SALARIES lag behind, however,
you're not going to be getting or keeping
your team."
A bulk of tenured faculty would make matters during financial exigency even worse and the University is trying to maintain a balance. Hutchison said,
Whether a teacher's services in the competitive market are in great demand accounts for the biggest variance in salary levels, he said.
"They must compete with a professional marketplace outside the academic world." Equipment and facilities play a big part in keeping or attracting faculty, he said.
Those factors might include: putting in a bathroom; adding or replacing a septic tank; adding to a wiring system or making it safer; repairing porches or steps; repairing or replacing in roof; or modifying a bathroom, like water, cabinets and similar necessities.
"It no secret that law salaries tend to be rather high." Hutchison said.
house, Miller said, but on health and safety factors.
Miller said most applicants to date had been older persons on fixed incomes, who might have enough Social Security or other benefits, but not enough to fix up their homes.
SHE SAID SOME applicants, however, were people with younger families, who have four children with only one-bedroom houses.

After Penn House receives applications, verification of ownership is checked at the county courthouse and the applicants are interviewed.
Miller said about eight houses were ready for repair bidding today and Monday. Small contractors, such as dry-wall specialists, plumbers and electricians, will be visiting the houses and submitting their bids to Penn House.
"Grandma might live in a house," Miller said, "but a couple of her children might be in joint ownership (of the house), and we have to figure in their incomes, also."

ONCE THESE BIDS are in, Penn House will take the applicant's files and the low bids to the rehabilitation reviewing committee.

Members of the committee which were selected by county commissioners are Elton Dark, Lecompont, Mary Mowery, Baldwin; Naomi Kidd, Eudora; Chairman Eugene Hardfarer, Lawrence; and Phyllis Anderson, representing the count-at-large.
"We don't have any power with the review committee," Miller said, "but the (Penn House) staff person who known the need to give feedback on these questions and describe the unique needs.
"A PROFESSIONAL inspector will go over the houses and find needed repairs." Miller said, "but the people will be able to tell what's most important for their personal comfort. It's an unusual situation and it gives us more flexibility."
"That way we're not in a position to tell the people what needs fixing," she said.
Miller said that the county was unique in
that it didn't have a minimum housing code.
She said it was good to have a minimum housing code however, because such a code is not required.
When asked if the program would continue to grow, Miller said. "A lot depends on politics in Washington. Every year more programs are brought in, but a bunch of are phased out. It looks like community investment funds will last quite a while."
Coleman Consulting has applied for 1976-77 community development funds, asking that $20,000, an increase of $70,000, be being used for the housing rehabilitation program.
VIRGINIA ASHLOCK, co-administrator of the funds for Coleman Consulting, said preliminary application for those funds had been approved by the board. Topека. The clearing house checks to make sure the intended programs aren't duplicated by other state and federal funds.
Coleman Consulting will now present a final preliminary application to HUD, and if approved, a final application will be submitted.
Ashlock said the funds had been used for or are planned for the following projects in the Lawrence-Douglas County area: building a pool, Baldwin's water supply; neighborhood facilities for Baldwin and Eudora, including a swimming pool in Eudora; a sewersystem in Lecompton; the Haskell Loop in Boston; and senior citizen centers countwide.
