County funding will be discussed
A meeting to acquaint the public with probable uses of Douglas County's community development funds will be at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Douglas County Courthouse in the Douglas County Courthouse.
Ernest Coleman, county federal funds consultant, said yesterday that a number of projects were planned for the county's $225,000 community development allocation from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Coleman explained that community development funds were actually grants to the county from HUD. He said that the city difference had a similar development grant.
Coleman's staff members for administering community development are Barbara Willis, Virginia Ashlock and Richard Barker, the offices are at 2900 W. Skt. Sixth, C. Suite 13.
Housing renovation is one area in which the funds will be used.
Older persons who have owned property for at least one year that needs repairs in areas such as roofing, sewer and electrical will be considered, according to Coleman.
A neighborhood center in Eudora is also under consideration for funds.
Coleman said $35,000 would be allocated to the Eudora center to be used towards construction of a swimming pool. The pool was built in Eudora, complex recently built in Eudora, he said.
Baldwin City is scheduled to receive about $18,000 to help build a back-up water supply at Spring Creek Lake. Coleman said most of this money would probably be used to fill the lake, which would also improve shore line conditions for use in recreation.
Senate committee OKs funding bill
The Student Senate Academic Affairs Committee voted last night to send Senate Bill 803, designed to consolidate all previous rules of conduct and placement on the Senate's Nov. 5 agenda.
The bill also calls for a $2 increase in each student's activity fee for the 1976-77 school year. The increase will cover line-item funding increases to student organizations.
In other action, the committee approved a bill making the Committee on Classroom Technology an academic Affairs and postponed any action on whether to recommend that KU join the Commission.
Academic Affairs' amendment to bill 660, which dealt with the funding of student organizations within a school through that school's Student Council, was sent back by the Finance and Auditing Committee Tuesday night.
FINANCE AND AUDITING said the amendment lacked clarity and that some school mentioned in the bill weren't being included in chairs of their inclusion in the amendment.
Bill Blessing, Academic Affairs chairman, said he agreed that the amendment was difficult to understand but he asked what the committee wanted to say.
"It must not be clear enough because there are some people who can't read it and even some (Academic Affairs) committee members don't know." He says what we want it to say, "Blessed said.
Ed Rolfa, student body president, said he thought the amendment should be put in action. He said it was important for students to
Also passed was Bill 067, which amended the rules and regulations of the Student Senate to allow the Committee on Teaching to become a new subcommittee.
It will be responsible for the continual evaluation of current programs to improve classroom teaching. The proposed subcommittee would also be responsible for recommending new programs for the improvement of classroom teaching.
BLESSING SAID HE NEEDn't think the problem would have enough to be active yet.
John Olson, committee member, said the shortage of students interested enough to work on the subcommittee would be the only change that the committee wouldn't be active from year to year.
The committee postponed any action on whether to recommend that KU join ASK, a student lobby in the Kansas legislature for all state-supported colleges and universities except KU. Washburn University in Topeka is also a member of ASK.
"There's a lot of material that has to be covered," he said.
Rolfsa said one of the reasons KU didn't join ASK when it was formed three years ago was that most of the things ASK wanted to teach them had been of little or no interest to KU students.
ROLF5 SAID ASK had been successful in obtaining the passage of the Landlord-associated agency's legislature's regulation of a student advisory committee to the Board of Regents.
Rfals said KU's first priority was to gain legislative support for faculty salaries and benefits.
Mark Anthony, committee member, said he heard that several legislators considered a bill to allow the governor to
In the Lawrence area, Coleman said plants were under way to build two arboretes, which are outdoor laboratories, where herb and tree species were grown and studied under natural conditions.
Tabling the matter, four committee members said they would ask legislators for their opinions on ASK before discussing the issue at a later meeting.
The area arborets would be like a plant zoo, Coleman explained, containing many species.
"As far as I know," he said, "these arboreums will be the first of kin in the forest."
Both arboretems will be located in Lawrence, one at the county fairgrounds, to be built in connection with the county extenuated property. The other will be at Wells Overlook Park.
Coleman said plans for the arboreums were presented to the county commissioners yesterday by Walter Hicks, an architect, and others. Coleman said the commissioners were "pretty well satisfied" with the proposal.
Plans for senior citizens' centers, the first of which would be located in Lawrence, and other recreational centers are also under funding consideration.
Another purpose of tonight's meeting is to get the public's ideas on projects the county might include in next year's application for land development funds, according to Coleman.
He said if that application was ranked high enough by HUD, the count would then be lower.
Tonight is the first in a series of such meetings, according to Coleman.
He said meetings would be in other Douglas county cities in the next month, beginning in Leptonburg on Nov. 5. Other cities would be in Tucson on Nov. 12 and Baldwin city on Nov. 20.
