Businesses violate sign ordinance
By JAY BEMIS
Staff Writer
Some Lawrence businesses still have flashing and blinking signs despite a city ordinance requiring signs to have a permanent glow.
The ordinance, which went into effect last October, was passed by the city commission primarily for traffic safety, said Harley Gover, city building inspector, who has been given the duty of informing businesses in violation of the new law.
"Flashing causes some drivers to take their eyes off the road," Gover said yesterday, "and signs are not to be in conflict with the driver."
Gover said businesses still in violation of the ordinance, after a personal tour by him last week, were Dari King, Holding Inn, Robbins, Joe's Bakery and the Siponl.
The Granada Theatre and Griff's Burger
are compiled in part with the ordinance,
banned by the city.
Griff's had taken care of the lights on its outside sign, he said, but a sign on the front door also said.
A night manager at Griffin's said he thought the ordinance included roadway signs.
Elden Harwood, owner of the Granada,
and owners and managers of the Holiday
Joo, Jon's Bakey and the Sirlin, assert
only carefully taken care of their
flashing lights.
"Curs have in off for about a week."
Skags, manager of the Holiday Inn,
said.
She said that she was fully in favor of the ordinance and thought that solid lights were more appropriate.
Arthur Peck, owner of Dari King and
Owners of businesses that are changing signs estimated costs of the change over to be from $6 to $10. Expenses vary on the type of blinking systems in the signs. Some have blinking devices while others are operated by a timing motor.
Doug Shade, owner of Baskin-Robbins, both said they were ready to comply with the ordinance, but were waiting for a sign company to come and service their signs.
"It it's quite visible from the streets at night." Gover said. "We may have to do something about it or even place in town a store so people will be good for all the others."
One sign, at the new Toms' Torn, 2247 Oustadh, is being checked by the city to see whether it's in violation of the new orleans rule that a menu is on the inside of the restaurant.
Gover said he was planning another tour for tonight.
"but there's a double standard. If some aren't going to work, it'll be easy for us to be there."
One owner who doesn't use the ordinance in Paul Rogers of Burger Chef, who has been accused of stealing.
Rogers said, in some cases, it cost the bank money to make their signs of the flashing灯.
It's bought a second part of the ordinance will be harder to enforce. Effective October, 1979, signs will be restricted to a size of 90 square feet.
Roy Struidge, chief building inspector, said business in violation would soon be referred to the city attorney. He said that he the mayor of Riverside could but that it might be within the next 10 days.
"I'm not sure what kind of burden that'll cause," Bill Hicks, manager of the Ramada Im said. Hicks also complied recently with the first part of the ordinance.
"I could get into some expenses," he said, "having to take down one sign and
Strutridge said the restriction would depend how city businesses are zoned. The restriction is needed, he said, to clean up some of the larger signs in the city.

Inventory made at art museum
The National Endowment for the Arts awarded the museum $10,000 for the in-
"The inventory will be made in order to decide what to display and in order to keep it."
Many pieces of art never displayed before will be among those inventoried this year at the University of Kansas Museum of Art, where she teaches, namely, who is coordinating the inventory.
According to Hennessee, the problem in the past was that the museum was squeezed 40 years ago into a building that wasn't built for its purposes.
"We have never been able to display everything. Hundreds of objects have been taken away."
Hennessey, who is also curator of collections, said more than 15,000 pieces would have to be inventoried. Ceramics, metal works and furniture will be included.
In the new Spencer Museum there will be four times the gallery space available at the Museum of Art. That means the museum is bigger, and much more than it can now. Hennessy said.
The move to the new museum is planned for the summer of 1977. The museum will be open to the public by January 1978. However, the inventory must be completed by the end of this year, Hennessey said, and the museum will last only until Dec. 31, 1976.
He said the award had been used to hire two research assistants, one in oriental art and the other in western art. Part of the $15,000 will be used for publications, he said.

HELPING STUDENTS GO PLACES IN A WAY THEY CAN AFFORD
Cars face tickets, towing in zone for handicapped
People who park illegally in spaces assigned for the handicapped could find them in the parking lot.
Roger B. Williams, chairman of the Committee for the Architecturally Handicapped, said yesterday the parking spaces were part of a new project.
He said quite a few cars had been towed from the spaces already. People seem to want to disregard the signs, Fenstemaker said.
There are 17 spaces on campus for the handcapped, Williams said. The spaces, added near the end of the fall semester, have green and yellow stripes painted on the curbing, and are marked by signs depicting a stick figure in a wheelchair.
Williams said the spaces were needed because there were approximately 150 persons at the University of Kansas who had to park close to campus buildings.
"This is nothing new," he said. "We're catering up with the rest of the institute."
Only those with campus parking permits in the 300 series will be allowed to park in these facilities.
