Holiday break no holiday for city government
Although city leaders spent much of the past two months seeking an end to city labor, they discussed a host of plans, proposals and initiatives that will affect Lawrence residents this year.
Mayor Barkley Clark promised an end to all executive sessions of the Lawrence City Commission on Dec. 9. Clark's promise followed a charge by Douglas County Atty. David Berkowitz that the commission had violated the Kansas open meeting law.
The commission had held an unannounced closed meeting before its Dec. 2 session to discuss legal action against Dial DRUG, a local drug information service.
Clark requested that the commission abilless its longstanding policy of holding
Berkowitz said he wouldn't prosecute the commission, but warned against further action.
closed meetings on legal, land acquisition and personnel issues.
Questions concerning the enforcement of state and federal nursing home regulations arose in late December, when the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, Kaiser Pearl Department of Health and Environment debated which agency had local authority.
Douglas County has one of several local health departments in the state authorized to inspect nursing homes and make recommendations to the state department.
However, local health department officials recommend to the state卫生局 been tested.
An inspection of the Samaritan Lodge, 205 N. Michigan, revealed violations that warranted license revocation, local officials said. However, they said, the state hasn't acted on their recommendation to revoke the lodge's license.

Appointments, personnel reorganization and an approved project are items that received top billing at the University of Kansas over the Christmas break.
Keith Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs, appointed McCoy, who will be the chief accountant for the University. McCoy's responsibilities will include accrual, receivable and payable, payroll, government contracts and general accounting and cashiering.

development of capital improvement
projects in the area and in the lands and sites of the University.
Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning, will now report to Lucas.

An architectural request to improve Malott Hall was approved by the Board of Regents Dec. 20. The total cost of the project is $11 million. The project had earlier been approved by the Regents in preliminary planning stages.
Action was taken before the semester break against students who participated in the disturbance of William Shockley's university at the University of Kansas last November.
Shockley demonstrators disciplined; officials mum
However, Executive Vice Chancellor Del Shankel refused yesterday to disclose the names or the number of the people involved, or the action taken. The Backley Amendment and longstanding University policy information from being revealed, he said.
in the incident, about 50 students, mostly black, disrupted an appearance by Shockley Nov. 13. Students involved in the incident were identified by news photographs and articles, Shankel said. He said that to his knowledge appeals of the disciplinary action hadn't been received from any of the students.
Informal weekly discussions among students and faculty members about various topics in African affairs will begin tomorrow, Jacob Gordon, chairman of the Department of African Studies, said yesterday.
The sessions will be 11:30 a.m. to 1:30
pm. every Wednesday in Alcove C in the
college hall.
Gordon said the sessions would be an informal exchange of ideas offering students and faculty members interested in African affairs a chance to meet.
African affairs talks to begin tomorrow
Among the suggestions were a senior citizens center, a study to determine the city's low income housing needs, housing planning program and street and alley repairs.
A member of the February First Movement (FFM), which was responsible for organizing the protest of Shockley's appearance, said that the disciplinary action taken against the students was overturned because the students involved had been suspended.
Several city departments also began studying 19 suggestions for local capital improvements. The suggestions were gathered by the city planning department.
The decision to take any action against the protestors, Shankel said, was based upon "careful evaluation of the facts" as they applied to regulations in the University's Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct.
Students disciplined were notified personally of the action in a meeting with himself and William Balfour, vice chancellor. Written notification was also given, he said.
The Shockley incident occurred last semester after scheduled debates between Shockley and Richard Goldsby were canceled because of pressure of groups objecting to Shockley's theories. Shockley said that butts are genetically inferior to whites.
After cancellations of Shockley's appearance by the SUA Board and the KYU-forum, a group of students and faculty members decided to invite Shockley to speak in the Military Science building Nov. 13.
The gathering was disrupted by minority students who entered the meeting and beckoned Shockley and protesting his actions, forces forced Shockley to leave the campus.
The proposals include a second municipal swimming pool, an ice rink, a recreation facility and the removal of most railroad tracks in North Lawrence.

Debate also arose over the site of a housing project for the elderly, which was approved for funding in early January by the Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Opponents of the proposed site said it was not a good business centers and near busy streets.
Members of the Lawrence Housing Authority, who didn't approve the proposed site at 2700 W. 27th, asked HUD to allow more time so a suitable site could be found.
Recommendations approved by the departments will be included in the city's Capital Improvements Program, which will be coordinated with Planning Commission will review in June.
Improvements to the Lawrence pars system, which would be funded by $73,000 bequealed the city by the late Myra B. Hobbs, are also being studied.
City consultants heard suggestions for the use of $29,000 granted to Lawrence for 1976 by the Housing and Community Development Act.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is expected to study several proposals and adopt final plans this spring. Proposals include a new park between New York School and the Haskell Loop, a park of 38th and Oregon, and the purchase of 38 acres for the expansion of the proposed Brook Creek Park, 12th and Brook.
