County will buy land for Clinton Parkway
Staff Writer
The Douglas County Commission tentatively agreed yesterday to pay $4,710 for a house and about three acres that will be used as the new way for the proposed Clinton Parkway.
The property, owned by Donald and Eleanor Burggrat, Route 4, is only the county road from St. Louis to the county or city must buy for the right-of-way. Acceptance of bids to build the parkway, which will run west from 23rd and Iowa State Universities Clinton Reservoir, is planned for September.
The purchases will become official after the title is reviewed and approved by the company upon completion.
THE OTHER LAND that has been purchased is .06 acres bought by the city from J.E. Steele for $6,410. On Monday the county was donated .04 acres for the right-of-way.
The Burggrafrs are to be paid $2,780 for their one-story, three-bedroom house and $13,850 for 2.77 acres of land. They also will be paid moving expenses.
If the other landowners do not agree on a price offered by the city or county, their property may be condemned, the district court will appoint three persons to apprise the property and declare a price to be paid. The city, county or the landowner can appeal the declared price.
City and county officials said they wished to avoid condemning the land because condemnation would increase the cost of the project. It is a month that the estimated cost of the 4.1-
THE TRANSPORTATION department appraised the land for the city and county and is negotiating with the landowners to try to secure a promissive price and avoid condemnation.
However, if construction bids are to be accepted in September, condemnation must begin soon, according to Roger Hedrick, city planer. He said condemnation of land within the city limits was scheduled to begin the first of April.
County officials said that the cost of building materials would rise during the extra time needed for condemnation and they are considering having to pay court costs if the land is condemned. Fees for each of the three appraisers vary from $2,000 to $3,000. R Jordan Setz, chief of right-of-way for the department of Transportation, said last week.

Consideration of grade appeals shelved till fall
A committee studying the possible establishment of a court of student grade appeals has shelved its recommendations until next fall.
The Academic Policies and Procedures Committee has been studying whether the University Judiciary is responsible for enforcing the new rules, or an appeals court should be established.
"We'll do it as soon as we can get all the certificates," he said. "It could be a mutant."
"NEXT YEAR'S committee will continue to study whether to make judiciary amendments or establish a new academic appeals court." Caldwell said.
The University Senate Executive Committee last February ordered the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee to review a Student Senate petition that asked for formation of a court of student academic appeals.
Although the city and county are buying right-of-way for the parkway, funding for the project still is uncertain. The federal government had agreed to pay 70 percent of the first estimated cost. $3.9 million now has been agreed to pay 70 percent of the additional $3.9 million now necessary to build the parkway.
THE COMMITTEE ALSO recommended that next year's committee begin a thorough study of the University Judicary and determine whether it can handle grade appeals more effectively than an appeals court.
"I think some one needs to take responsibility for the action taken by the Senate."
"I hate to see it tossed around like this. It's unfortunate the groundwork couldn't be built before we were ready."
Mike Harper, student body president, said he thought the committee, in its last meeting of the semester, was bowing out gracefully.
The committee decided to enter in the student handbook, the University ombsudman's office as such a place for referral.
A final recommendation of the committee was to ensure that current avenues for student academic complaints are made known to faculty, staff and students.

Rent-A-Hertz usually turns out to mean Rent-A-Big Expensive-Car. Because that's the kind of car they feature. But Rent-A-Volks always means Rent-A Good-Inexpensive-Car. Because the only cars we have are Volkswagens. And they're as cheap to rent as they are to drive. Let us prove it to you.

State Senate weighs women's athletic funds
University of Kansas officials said yesterday that they would wait for the Kansas Legislature's final budget decisions for fiscal 1979 before taking any action to provide special funds for the women's athletic program.
Members of the administration met yesterday with Marian Washington, women's athletic director, and Mike Harper, student body president, to discuss recent developments in funding women's athletics.
The Kansas Senate Tuesday defeated a recommendation for an increase of $85,000 for KU's women's athletic program in the University's fiscal 1979 budget. They did approve a $10,833 increase over this year's $157,546 budget. The bill budget now moves
to the House Ways and Means Committee before being considered by the full House.
DEL SHANKEL, executive vice chancellor, said the University would wait until the House votes on the budget, which should happen late next week, before deciding how the University might fund women's athletics.
Harper said one possibility wounds the University to allocate a special fee from him.
If the University were to make some assessment, Shankel said, it would have to be a request from the university come from tuition. He said the Chancellor had the authority to request money for a special fee from the Kansas Board of Finance, though there were no plans to do so yet.
