Commission raises rates for swimming pool entry
The Lawrence City Commission last night watercrazed a proposed swimming pool installation.
The commission voted unanimously to increase the rates to 40 cents for children 14 years old and younger and to 80 cents for those older than 14.
The proposed rate increase, recommended by Fred DeVictor, director of the city parks and recreations department, would have raised the rate for children 14 years and younger to 50 cents and for those older than 14 to $1.
Last year the rates were 30 cents for children under 8 years older and 60 cents for older than 12.
Commissioner Jack Rose said he would like to keep the rates down.
to keep the Mayor Marnie Argersinger agreed
"I think that raising it to a buck is too much," she said.
However, Commissioner Don Bins said some increase in the rates was needed.
DeVictor told the pool's 1977 deficit was more than $17,000.
"I think $17,000 is a very small subsidy to pay for this service." Areersinger said.
In other action, the commission approved two requests for sign variances, denied one request.
Sign variations for Bert & Ernie's, 7th and Massachusetts streets, and Corner Round Cheese and Salami Shoppe, 801 Massachusetts St., were approved.
A sign variance for Remember When,
21208 W. 28th St., was denied and a variance
for Sirlin Stockade, 1015 Iowa, St., was
withdrawn.
The commission also voted to reject all four bids for an addition to the Lawrence and Berry Parks.
Roger K. Hedrick, director of planning,
and the commission the resignation
of planer K. Hedrick.
The low bid, $103,990, submitted by B.A.
Construction Co., 1207 St. Iowa, st. was
more than 60 percent higher than the city architect's estimate of $84,250.
Hewitt, who has worked for the city for more than three years, has been named Director of Community Development for the city of Shawnee.
However, the commission voted to accept the low bid for 11 two-way radios to be used by sanitation, street and park and recreation departments. The low bid was $4,950.
Scandal involves another

Another individual associated with an architectural conspiracy case five years ago involving University of Kansas Medical Center construction probably will go before a state board next month for his actions in the case.
Campbell becomes the third person within the past month to be charged with misconduct in a complaint related to the case and filed by the board.
Mark Bennett Jr., attorney for the board, would not give the specifies of the com-
The Kansas State Board of Technical Professions has filed a complaint against Charles Campbell, an engineer who was involved in the multi-million dollar construction expansion project, which began in 1973 and is not yet completed.
Last month two Kansas architects, Frank Fisher and Kenneth McLain, were charged with misconduct for their part in the architectural kickback case.
Fisher and McLain have been asked to give up, for six months, their licenses to practice in Kansas. Both will be on a one-year probation after the license suspension is lifted, Douglas Flatt, chairman of the state board, has said.
FLATT SAID THE complaint against Campbell was filed with the past two weeks.
Bennett said Campbell could either agree
to give up his license as an engineer or appear before the board at its hearing,
Flatt said that board action against Campbell could keep him from functioning as an engineer, either permanently or temporarily, depending upon the results of the hearing.
Campbell and the two architects were not prosecuted in the 1973 kickback case, which indicted 24 defendants with bribery conspiracy for their part in an alleged plot to extort payments from him. Robert Docking's 1972 rejection campaign for a design contract.
The contribution supposedly was made in exchange for the award of a $500,000 design contract for a basic sciences and clinical facilities building at the Med Center.
THE THREE men were not prosecuted because they were used as witnesses in the case, then Kansas Attorney General Vern Miller has said.
At least one conviction resulting from the kickback case now is being appealed.
Norbert Sidorowicz, of the Kansas City, Kan., architectural firm of Marshall and Brown-Sidorowicz has appealed his 1974 decision in a lawsuit connected with the original contract award.
Other legal actions involving the recent Med Center construction have resulted in lawsuits.
The 1978 state legislature two weeks ago authorized payment of a $290,000 arbitration award to a Kansas City, Mo. firm. The firm was required to do the same work done on the basic sciences building.
AURH candidates would involve more foreign, minority students

By PAULA SOUTHERLAND
Stronger leadership and greater representation are the greatest needs of the Association of University Residence Halls, canals and vice president of AURH last night.
The four teams of candidates spoke to a group of about 25 in Templin Hall cafeteria for a fundraiser.
Dimitri Sisco, presidential candidate,
said that many of the students to whom he
talked were not aware of what AUHR was
their parents. The other students in the
AUHR was. Sisco said that he and his
running mate, Sophie Dahadah, Kuwait
hoped, to bridge the gap between
them.
All candidates stressed better representation of residence hall members and greater communication with residents to find out what residents wanted.
"We will set no goals and make no promises," Jay Smith, presidential candidate, said. "We want to do what the residents want us to do."
THE CANDIDATES also said they would work to ensure that minority and foreign students are supported.
Donna Carlisle, vice presidential candidate, said she would meet with the dean of women to work out a committee for AURH on minority affairs to help meet the needs of minority students.
SIBCAS SAID HE WOULD like to find a way to keep residence halls open and provide food service during holidays for American students as well as for foreign students.
Housing services was another area discussed by the candidates.
Smith said he would like to see housing services, such as laundry and maintenance, increase if enrollment decreases as predicted in the future.
"We see an increase, increase, increase in costs, but I see an increase, increase, increase in costs."
Smith also said he opposed meal option, which would allow students a choice in the number of meals they pay for, because it would raise contract costs. He said he would rather apply an increase toward higher quality and a greater quantity of food.
Phill Kaufman, presidential candidate,
he opposed套结医疗服务 unless the
unemployed could be served.
Larry Britton, presidential candidate, said more educational and cultural programs would get the residents involved and strengthen the organization.
Presidential and vice presidential elections will be today and tomorrow. Polls will be open from 5 to 6 p.m. in the cafeteria of each residence hall.
