Home repair project will start next week
Work crews will be repairing the homes of Lawrence's low-income and elderly persons next week, over a month after the city passed a law requiring social service organization $5,000 to do the job.
Greg Stock, Douglas County director of the East Central Kansas Community Action Program (ECKAN), said yesterday that the 14, would be launched on November 21.
Applications for home repair, he will,
110 Massachusetts St, starting Monday.
The city commission approved the project at the recommendation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide additional financial development funds are administered.
Stock said up to $1,000 could be spent on any home in two target areas outlined by HUD. The target areas are all of north Lawrence and an area bordered by the Kansas River on the north, Sante Fee Railroad tracks on the east, 15th Street on the south and Massachusetts Street on the west, he said.
To be eligible for the program, Stock said, a person must have owned his home and occupied it for one year. An applicant's income must not exceed $240 a month plus the amount person living in the residence. Only single-family dwelling will be considered, he said.
Stock said anyone could apply, but preference would be given to the elderly and young.
Stock said the elderly and handicapped had difficulty finding "livable" homes partly because of the students at the university in Kansas and Haskell Indian Junior College.
"Granted, the colleges create the economy in this town," he said. "But when you have so many students, they swamp the teachers and costs skivh high and flood the job market."
"What is created is that people who have lived in this town for 40 years and have driven the economy of the market. Students create our economy, double-edged sword. It cuts both waves."
A labor supervisor for the project will be hired this week and will be paid $6,000 from a $10,000 training package also received from the community funds. Stock said.
Fifteen welfare recipients will be hired in

a couple of months to do some of the repair work, he said, and each worker will receive $160 from the $10,000 for the two weeks of work.
"We're not hurting for money," Stock said. "What we really need is people."
He said that the $20,000 from the com-

The ECKAN work crew will consist of the supervisor and three full-time workers and, with volunteers, could repair one house a week, he said.
When an application is received, he said, ECKAN and city community development officials will inspect the home. If it could be repaired to conform to the city housing code with $1,000-$4,500, Stock said, its owner will be able to seek a community development grant.
Stock said the purpose of the ECKAN project wasn't to bring the houses to city standards but to "let the people live in decency."

successful, Rois said, and the Union would try to attract more students.
Ruffs said such a proposition had been considered but wouldn't work in the immediate future because of problems with organization and cold weather. There was also the problem of encountering the habit of going to place to drink beer and socialize, he said.

"I think it 's an excellent idea," Rolf said. "I think we, 'll pursue it."
Mibeck said he didn't consider the owners' proposal to be much of a solution to the crowd problem and that something like the 'shopping center' considered as a possible permanent solution.
City Commissioner Donald Binns said, "The lake itself is almost beyond further pollution." "Years ago, that's what it used to be called—notter's lake."

He said that over the years, the city should have planned outlying commercial areas for students such as other schools he named K-State's Agilvieve and the University of Oklahoma's Soonerville as examples.

Jeff Hawkins, 909 E. Avalon Rd., said that he had moved here from Norman, Okla, only five weeks ago and that OU was faced with the same type of problem with crowds.
OFFERS REWARD
A good way to understand this world is to define your terms. This brings up the question of what we mean by the term of capitalism. The communists tell us that capitalism is the "exploitation of man by man." Yet, it is easy enough to see that this is the description of the slave society wherein the masters exploit the labor of their slaves.
Loren Impson, who owns some apartments in the 14th and Ohio streets area, said that his main concerns were the people in the street and parking.
Now then, one of the world's three great truths is that it is not possible to be and not be. Either something is or else it is not. And, if something is one thing then it cannot be another; therefore, if something is not one thing then it cannot be slave society if it cannot be the description of our free society. In order to promote social enquiry I offer a hundred dollar reward to anyone who can give the true definition of our free society of capitalism.
Impson said he was skeptical about the effectiveness of the owners' proposal.

Having The Best Parties
Laughter and a good time. That is what I'd like to talk with you about. After researching all the literature we could find on these subjects and participating in an enormous amount of parties, all of different age groups and social backgrounds from all parts of the United States, we have come up with a complete collection of party procedures and alternatives.
We have combined them all to in a book, *5 Steps To Having The Best Parties*. In this book there are 50 separate Party-time, drinking Games that are the Prime Choice of all the games we found. There are sections that make Party Games a Success, with a Game Leader and how to be a great Game Leader.
Also, there is a section on the different Drink Mixes and Potent Party Punches for big par-
thems. We even try to persuade you to use Practical jokes at your party and we list several practical tips for helping you have a hilarious time with,
The 50 Separate Party-time, drinking games are the meat of our Book. We could have listed 150 games. But, we avoided wasting your time by not listing all the little variations of the games. The variations are obvious and we figure if you want to change or vary the games you will and you don't need us filling in a bunch of repetition type games. We put in the Main Unique Party Games that were the ones people said they had the best times with.
The techniques of this book don't only have to be used at parties. There are Games, Drinks, Practical Jokes and Jokes that are great to use anyone people get together. Whether it's at a
bar, in the Student Union, at a Club or at home.
This book works great as a guide for giving parties for clubs or organizations, Fraternity or Sorority parties, conventions, Dorm Functions, business or office parties and, of course, great for friendly little get-to-gets. 5 Steps To Having The Best Parties was written to help you in selecting different ways to be enjoined at a party. Since we have listed only the cream of the crop drinking games, you'll probably end up wanting to play them all.
You send $3.95 WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS to Foxon Enterprise, P.O. Box 2282, Shawnee Mission, Kansas 6k501 for the Book, 5 Steps To Having Supply every item you need for a Fantastic Party . EXCEPT THE ALCOHOL.
