Citing a start as the reason for their failure to meet the deadline for appraising property along Clinton Parkway for condemnation, the appraisers have been granted extensions, G.F. Bodin, one of the appraisers, said yesterday.

THE COURT appointed the appraisers-
Robert Harrison, Joseph Marziuff and Bruck
Marziuff.
Judge James W. Paddock Monday extended the July 31 deadline to Aug. 7 for property appraised in the county and to Aug. 14 for property in the city.
"We have been working on it daily, but it is real time-consuming, to see all the changes that are happening."
They were appointed to reassess the property for condemnation because the landowners refused to sell land needed for the parkway.
The parkway, which will be a four-lane surfaced road, will begin at the corner of 23rd and Iowa streets, run west from that to the street on Irrigated Trip Road and then on to Clinton Reservoir.
The landowners were given an opportunity at public hearings last week to present information to the appraisers concerning the value of their property.
At the hearings some property owners said they were not being offered enough money for their land. Others cited the impact of high taxes on the capacity of the highway as reasons for reappraisal.
Soaqu sign-in
"We ARE PUTTING forth extra effort and 'we believe that we will be able to meet the needs of our community.'"
Rosie Brooks, Lawrence senior, gets ready to cast her ballot in the primary election at Douglas County State Bank, Ninth and Kentucky streets. She said she thought a long time about what shoes to wear out in the heavy downpour yesterday and then decided on none.
Bodin said the appraisers were further convinced that the county properties them with the city property.
"We are about 75 percent complete in the city and less than 50 percent in the city," he said.
Kassebaum, Roy win nominations
From the Kansan Wire Services
Nancy Landon Kassebaum, daughter of former Kansas Gov. Alf M. Landon, won Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate yesterday and will face former U.S. Rep. Bill Roy in the November general election.
Kassebau doubled the vote on her nearest rival, Wayne Angell, in her home Wichita and edged him in to Tuppea, father lives, to pile up her margin of victory.
In the gubernatorial race, Kansas House Speaker John Carlin, D-Smolan, beat Sen Bert Chaney, D-Hutchinson, and Topeka attorney Harry Wiles to win the Democratic nomination. In November Carlin will face Gov. Robert Beunett, who easily captured the GOP nomination from two GOP hopeful candidates.
ROY. A practicing Topeka physician before serving two terms in Congress in
1971-74, won Democratic senatorial nomination over the three rivals with high stateside votes in both state elections.
After 97 percent of the returns had been counted, Roy had 98,136 votes to 13,743 for Dorothy K. White of Wichita, the Seward County clerk, 11,821 for James Maher, Overland Park stockbroker, and 1,056 for Wond Wes Stockbooth, Wichita real estate man.
Also, nearly complete returns in the Republican senatorial race gave Kassebaum 65,31 votes to 52,919 for Angell. Trailing in third place among the nineteen person field was Sand Hardage of Wichita, with 8,769, and state Sen. Jan Meyers of Kansas, with 8,301. Then and only Dyrschal with 18,286, and state Sen. Norma Gae with 14,418.
Bennett, an attorney who has spent 24 years as an elected public official, swamped his two opponents from the first trickle of returns.
THE NEARLY finished tabulation gave Bennett 139,010 votes to 39,940 for former state printer Bob Sanders of Salina and 25,101 for the Rev. Harold Knight of Chanute.
Winning nomination to Congress was Jim Jeffries, Atchison businessman, in the Republican race in the 2nd District. He scored a mild upset, 25,969 votes, over state Sen. Ron Hein of Topeka, 18,733 votes, to face Democrat Maury Keys in the fall.
The 97 percent in the Democratic vote counting showed Carlin with 68,438 votes to 32,307 for State Sen. Bert Chaney of Hutchison and 23,035 for Harry Wiles of Topica.
In the 5th District of southeast Kansas, where rep. Joe Skubitz is retiring, State Sen. Don Allegrucep of Pittsburg won the Democratic nomination and Bob Whittaker of Augusta, a former legislator, appeared to have won the GOP primary.
Work study program shifts focus

The KU work study program will emphasize awarding money this fall to students rather than to departments that hire the students, Joan Sherwood, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, said yesterday.
Sherwood, former assistant director of the office of student financial aid, said, "This year the emphasis is that the work study program
This year departments will be told the number of hours that they can hire study students. Previously, departments were told the number of hours.
THE TOTAL number of hours for the school year allowed for each department will be assigned by the vice chancellor in charge of the department, Clantha McCurdy, who replaced Sherwood in the financial aid office, said.
Sherwood said students would still be given specific amounts of money they could earn.
She said that in the work study program, 80 percent of the student's salary was paid by the federal government and 20 percent was paid by private companies.
The instructor is not on the department speaking or presenting. She Woodroar, "but rather on the student earning his work study more."
She said that in the past the departments had too much control.
SHERWOOD AND McCurdy both said that the new emphasis should make it easier for students in the program to find a job.
"There's never been a firm award." Sherwood said. "All we could do was guarantee work study eligibility.
The student fills out a form listing his skills or interests, how many hours a week he can work and any other information related

"There was no assurance every student would find a job and there's still no assurance. But it should make it a lot easier."
McCURDY SAID students in the program could begin their work study jobs Aug. 18.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Margaret "Midge" Costanza, President Jimmy Carter's outspoken assistant for women's issues whose responsibilities have been narrowed, has resigned, the White House said yesterday.
Carter aide resigns without explanation
If a student cannot find a job in the program, he will be referred to the job counselor in the financial aid office.
A White House press spokesman, Rex Granum, said Carter accepted Costanza's resignation Monday with "regret." Neither Granum nor the House gave any reasons for her departure.
When an employer calls and asks for a work study employee, the counselor gives him the names of qualified students to call.
Carter told her he hoped she would remain
She said all work study jobs were supposed to be advertised through the financial aid office and posted on the job board in
McCURDY SAID that sometimes the counselor would call a student when an appropriate job was posted on the job board.
"We think it's going to be easier to match students with jobs, she said." If a student has been given 'X' number of dollars from the bank, it might be more likely that

ACTUALLY, Costanza's duties were narrowed to women's issues in May, when she was moved from a large office near Carter's in the White House's west wing to much smaller quarters in the White House basement.
Previously, her responsibilities included acting and engaging in various special in-

The two referendum questions were credited for the larger than normal county voter turnout by Debert Mathias, county clerk of the official total number of votes cast was 13,457.
RAFSOHN, whose main responsibility is to improve Carter's saging public image, said that Stuart Eizentah, White House domestic policy adviser, was surprised time and time that he had wanted only one administration spokesman to appear.
"It usually averages around 11,000 for a primary election," Matias said. "The combination of the two referendum candidates same ballot was what brought them out."
THE VOTE counts on both questions remained close throughout the evening and the final outcome was not certain until about midnight, when the final tallies were posted. Both questions passed by a 53 to 47 percent margin.
The city hall question appeared on the ballot as the result of efforts by the Citizens for Responsive City Government group, which has asked June to place the question before the voters.
Pat Willer, a member of the group's steering committee, was disappointed by the vote's outcome, but said she was glad he had received the chance to vote on the issue.
"OUR INTENTION all along was just to give the citizens of Lawrence an opportunity to vote on the City Commission's plans for a city hall and we achieved that." Willer said. "I think the closeness of the vote shows people will respond with what the City commission was doing."
The city hall question passed by 567 votes out of 10,109 votes cast on the issue.
The vote means that the City Commission will be able to proceed with its plans for financing the construction of a city hall on W. Washington Street at Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
the $3 million structure is to be partly

revenue bonds by the Lawrence Public
Building Commission. The building commission is composed of the five City Commissioners acting as a separate legal entity.
THE CITY WILL pay rent to the building commission out of federal revenue sharing funds as they become available. The building commission, in turn, will use the city's rent payments to retire the revenue bonds.
The precincts that included North Lawrence and the area east of Massachusetts Street generally voted against the city ball question.
Yesterday's approval of the school district's referendum question will allow the school board to increase its 1978-79 budget by as much as $640,309.
The additional funds will be used to finance salary increases for school district employees.
THE INCREASE will be financed by an increase in the school district's tax levy by 3 million dollars.
A mill is one-tenth of a cent. For each mill in the tax levy, a property owner pays $1 in taxes for every $1,000 of his assessed property valuation.
A similar question was rejected by election voters May 9. That referendum had included administrators in the group to receive salary increases. Yesterday's question specifically excluded administrator as benefactors of the budget increase.
The school board budget increase passed by a 757 vote out of a total of 11,147

Marcum makes first comments as athletic head
Bob Marcum, associate athletics director at Iowa State University, held a press conference yesterday after an official announcement by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes in the Kansas Union that Marcium would be the new KU athletics director.
In announcing Marcum's appointment to the athletics director position, Dykes said, "He emerged from the interview process with a solid block of support from the advisory search committee. In addition, he comes highly recommended from countless sources throughout the country.
"Under his leadership, I am confident our proud history and tradition in inter-collegiate athletics will continue to grow and flourish."
IN HIS opening statement, Marcum said, "I can assure everyone I readily accept this challenge and I look forward to working with everyone in the University community to build the best overall program possible.
"I can also assure you that we will work within the rules of the University, NCAA and Big Eight Conference toward that goal."
Marcum said some of the challenges he faced were financing, the football schedule and the athletic program itself.
Asked whether he was considering playing fewer well-known football teams, he said. "I'm not so sure I would like to entertain all those people in one year."
Marcum said he would try to have a close relationship with students.
during my time as the associate athletics director at Iowa State, my office was open to student participation," he said. "I certainly will continue that here. I think we're all here because of the fine student participation.
Marcum said of Title IX, a federal code that requires equal opportunity for men's and women's sports," Title IX is a difficult thing to check out because compliance is difficult to define. I don't know what commitment KU has to Title IX.
"I WILL NOT be a signature behind a door. I guarantee that."
"Where's the burden placed? It's

placed on football. What we can do to increase the football program helps the whole athletic program.
"There's X' amount of dollars available. When it's all over, you have two choices left. You can turn to the state or eliminate some sports programs."
Marcum, who also had been under consideration for the athletics director posi-
ation at Ohio University, was offered the position at KU Sunday by Dykes.
Marcum will begin at KU in the $43,000-a-year position Aug. 15.
Dykes said that although Marcum could only sign a one-year contract under state law, he did not know where Bob can stay at the University of Kansas for a stipulated time."
