Survey nears completion

At first glance, the large yellow arrow that have mysteriously appeared on campus recently, look like flying saucer landing guides.
Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning, yesterday said that the survey, which is done at least every 10 years, would provide a topographical map, which would serve as a planning tool for future development of University land.
But they are really surveyors' marks that are part of an aerial survey being done of the island.
"We use this as our basis for site planning for the University," Lawton said.
The mapping, when completed, will show the physical changes that have been made on the campus since the last map was done in 1970.
The mapping is done with the use of both areial photographs taken at 6,000 ft., and a
grid system plan of the campus done by ground crews.
THE YELLOW ARROWS, officially called "photo-identifiable monuments," are used for the aerial photography and have been set up randomly at eight different places on campus. The same eight areas are where a map is made to maintain consistency.
There also are eight markers set up in the west campus area.
There is one marker behind Spencer Library, one in front of Fraser Hall, one on the southeast corner of Allen Field House, one on the road north of Murphy Hall, one on the playing field behind Watkins Hospital, and one painted on top of McColum Hall.
Gary Provyn, a surveyor for Western Air Maps, the company handling the project, said they had not had any problems with people tampering with the markers.
thought we'd have problems with people stealing them, but we haven't.
Provyn said the campus would be sectioned off for the aerial photographs, and a flight pattern made. It would take about five days to get to a complete set of pictures, he said.
The pictures were taken about 11 a.m. yesterday. Provyn said they had to take between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to avoid shadows on the buildings. He also said the shooting was usually done between November and April, when all the leaves were off the trees to get maximum visibility of the ground and its contours.
Lucas said that when the project was finished, the University would have three-dimensional drawings that would show the contours and elevations of everything on campus.
Provin estimated the maps would be finished in two to four weeks.
Students offered tax assistance
By DON GREEN Staff Writer
Those unexcused tax forms gathering
unfit or non-students from the
complex tax system can be
completed by a designated
beginning agent.
The KU Accounting Club is offering assistance to complete federal and state tax forms from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Governor's Room of the Kansas Union.
The tax sessions will continue until April 15, the federal and state deadline for declaring income. Sessions will be from 3 to 6 p.m. April 7 and 14 in the Governor's Room, and from 9 a.m. to noon April 1, 8 and 15 at the same location.
Southern said three students would conduct each session and more would help if they
Dave Southern, Kenilworth, III., junior and program coordinator, said yesterday, "We won't pull any strings or find species we know to like. It's great help for people unfamiliar with tax forms."
All student preparers have taken, or are enrolled in an income tax accounting class.
"THE SESSIONS OFFER accounting students a good opportunity with the
practical application of this aspect of public accounting," Southern said.
Students wanting help should bring their federal and state forms and their W-2 forms to the sessions. If a student has earned induction, he or she should bring the out-of-state form also, he said.
Allen Ford, associate professor of business and club adviser, said that the service was available to anyone, but that the club was focusing on students.
Southern said the sessions were one aspect of the Internal Revenue Service's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. The club members also are working with the American Association of Retired Persons to provide assistance in the Lawrence area.
The assistance program, which began Feb. 1 and will end April 13, has 13 tax centers in the Lawrence area. Three of the centers are staffed by students.
Ford said this was the third consecutive year for the assistance program, but only the first year students had gone off campus to provide assistance.
THE PROGRAM IS GOOD for lower
income individuals. Don't understand
them individually.
special student, said. "It's a nice inexpensive way of getting a tax return
"It is also good for business students because they become familiar with the forms and prepare them—something you don't get in the classroom.
Kretzmeier is in charge of the student volunteers at ECKAN Community Action Center at 1201 E. 13th St. Other centers manned by students are the Consumer Affairs Office, 901 Kentucky St., and Penn House. 1035 Pennyvale St.
"A large majority of the assistance," Kreztmeier said, "is answering questions from people preparing the forms themselves."
All students in the assistance program passed a test conducted by the ITRS to make them eligible for employment.
MOST OF THE tax forms are prepared for low-income and minority taxpayers, but all students are encouraged to use the tax centers.
On Tuesdays, from 2:30 to 5 p.m., student volunteers are at the Consumer Affairs Office; on Wednesdays, from 3:00 to 6 p.m. Student Volunteers attend Thursdays from 2:30 to 5 p.m. at Penn House.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
The late great Evangelist "Billy Sunday" said "PUL POLE CAT IN THE PARLOR: WHICH CHANGES FIRST? PARLOR, OR POLE CAT?" He did not give the answer to this problem, probably thinking all would have sense in it. And he did not remember a tremendous change in Churches since his day Could it be caused by Spiritual Pole Cats getting in the Church!
that this was the law regarding murder, rape, homosexuality (crimes for that God Almighty's Law demands the death penalty), and men believed and knew it would be lawful to kill a person who cleans the city of murder, rape, homosexuality, etc. etc.
In the 5th Chapter of Amos, God tells His people He "hate" and "deplores" their offerings of worship and will not accept them. There is nothing to their worship - except they rise up and put away evil, crime, lawlessness, etc. They whirl their land which their land is defiled. 21: 24-1: "I hate, I despise your feast days . . . Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your meat offerings I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings . . . Take thou away from me Thee." But the Lord will not permit us to "BUT LET JUDGEMENT RUN DOWN AS WATERS, AND RIGHTEOUSENESS A AS MIGHTY STREAM!"
Would you like to live in a city, a state, a nation where these abominations have been stamped out? I would I expect to in due time. Abraham, The Friend of God, the Father of the Faithful, "looked for a city which hath foundations whose builders and maker is God." At least three times God promises that "the earth shall be full of his knowledge and glory of The Lord as the waters cover the seak." Where will you be in view of your present at home and witness concerning the abominations that bring us water do the seas? (DISOBEDIENCE TO THE 10.4 COMMUNICATIONS)
May another question be asked for your consideration?
Can one be a Christian that rejects Capital Punishment?
Was not Christ's Crucifixion on the Cross Capital Punishment? Though Innocent He offered Himself to die for the guilty! "GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BOTTENSON SON" - gave him For Capital Punishment that God's righteous and holy Law might be that sinnless shall die" - "THAT WHOSEVER BEELIEVET BEELIEVET NIGHT NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." "Beelievet him," that He substituted His Selfless Sleep and took Capital Punishment that my Sinful Self might live eternally a redeemed soul!
An article in this column some time ago told about the writer's contact and experience with a hold-up man. Quote: I told Mr. Hold-up if I had the responsibility and power of the law in my hands, his body would probably now be in his grave, and his evil spirit – unless he truly repented, and it would be hard for him to be in helm with his "daddy, the devil!" Genuine Christianity can't tolerate with the Bible not only say "Resist the Devil," but also says: Give no place to the Devil!
What do you think? If men knew this was the law and believed it would be promptly and faithfully enforced, then what would happen?
Benefit concerts may finance Lawrence's first gay bar
"FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP THIS
COMMANDS, AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVING"
(Parish Letter)
P. O. BOX 405, DECATUR, GA. 30031

Staff Writer
Lawrence could have its first gay bar soon if benefit concertes being held this month at Off-the-Wall-Hall, a bar at 737 90th Street, New York, is enough interest and financial backlog.
"Rumors of opening a gay bar have been floating in Lawrence for years, but no one has ever been financially interested in starting one," a gay student, who asked not to be identified, said last week.
however, if the plans of one Lawrence man are successful, that could soon change.
Every Tuesday in April, Off-the-Wall Hall is hold benefit discos or live concerts, with all proceeds going to open a bar, gay bar, natively named the Lavender
An Off-the-Wall-Hall spokesman said the benefit nights were to raise money, to find out if there was enough interest to make a gay bar financially feasible and to bring gay people together so they could have a say in details of the bar.
He said he would know by the beginning of summer whether to hold more benefits or to find a building for the bar. He said how much money had been raised yet.
"WE DON'T KOW how best to serve the needs of the gay community. We want this to be a project run by gay people. At this point gay people should come out and be involved in directing the project because not even the name, form of entertainment or age
limits have been solidified, yet," the representative said.
"A lot of people whom we want to attract have been turned off by rumors and misinformation. We want them to come in and give it a second chance," he said.
"If there was a gay bar in Lawrence, it would be well attended," Jean Ireland, co-coordinator of Gay Services of Kansas, said.
"Ten percent of the population is supposed to be gay. That figure is probably higher in a college community," she said.
He said the women's music nights, held at Off-the-Wall-Hall, were well used by KU students. They offered the KU gay dances, sponsored by Gay Services of Kansas, often draw crowds of 600. If a har could do even once a week it would be a sound business proposition.
One gay man said that many people would be afraid to go to a local bar because of fear of discovery. He said it might take him to a gay disco in Topeka or Kansas City.
"IT WOULD BE NICE, though, to have a lounging bar just to go to and relax on weeknights," he added.
IRELAND SAID. "It's going to be very hard to find a good location, because it shouldn't be too close to straight bars."
The spokesman worried that a gay bar might become a target for hassles from high school and fraternity boys.
The project organizer also said that
Assistant city manager Mike Wilden said, "We don't control sexual preferences. Citizens might object to a gay bar, but they couldn't do anything about it. There are no laws that regulate the number of person you have to be to go into a bar."
police and safety inspectors could make it difficult to keep a gay bar open.
ED CARTER, city commissioner, said that although Lawrence was fairly liberal, some citizens might be against the bar.
The bar is in the planning stages now. Two fund-raising concerts have been held already and 48 people attended. Off-the-Wall-Hall spokesman said the bar would be established only if the gay community supported it.
"About the only way they could stop it would be to try to pass an ordinance against gay bars, and there is a question of legality in such an attempt," he said.
"The laws are written in such a way that anybody who is a thorn in the side of the city can be closed. You need the good of the city fathers to stay open," he said.
"it's none of my business to ask any further," she said.
Vera Merca, Lawrence city clerk,
who issues liquor licenses, said that there
were no questions on the application
about the type of bar to be opened.
"The hard realities of business are that if we run these benefits and a lot of people should up, even if Off-the-Wall-Hall feel, somebody else will take over."
