Check won't settle pending suits

Staff Writer
A check from the state of Kansas for almost $200,000 will be hand-delivered to a Kansas City, Kan., courthouse, but it apparently will not immediately settle $3 million in lawsuits pending there against the state.
state The lawsuits were filed in Wyandotte County Court in the past five months by two Kansas City, Mo., firms involved in the construction of Orr-Major basic sciences building at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The check that will be given to the clerk of the court is an arbitration award won by Truong-Nichols Inc., one of the two firms being engaged in the case, firm, or assistant state attorney general.
TRUGG-Nichols filed and won the award in 1978 against the State of Kansas. A three-member arbitration panel awarded the company $250,000 of its original request for
The company, in filing for an arbitration award, claimed that the state had given them faulty plans for the basic sciences building.
League contest only a tune-up for state meet
It is well known that teams usually gear their seasons to winning the Big Eight conference meet.
But to Ken Snow, KU women's gymnastics coach, winning this year's Big Eight women's gymnastics championship is not as important as winning the state champsion.
The Big Eight championships begin at 7 tonight in the Nebraska Coliseum in Lincoln, Neb., and will conclude with the finals, which begin at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
"A FUNNY as it sounds, we're using the Big Eight meet as a tune-up for the state meet next weekend in Hays," he said. "That's the meet I really want to win."
Under Snow's coaching, KU has won the state championship the past two years.
Although Snow said the team's score in the meet was not important, he would like individuals to qualify for the final round of competition.
He said Karen Mundy would have an excellent chance to qualify for the finals in the balance beam, side horse vault and uneven parallel bars routines.
Angie Wagle, according to Snow, also would have a good chance to qualify in the floor exercise and balance beam routines.
ONLY FIVE Big Eight conference schools have women's gymnastics teams. Snow said Colorado University would be the favorite to win the meet.
The Buffaloes are led by Debbie Wilcox, formerly gymnast.
Snow said the team was healthy for the meet but a short practice week caused by bad weather might affect the team's performance in Lincoln.
The Truog-Nichols award was not paid by the 1977 Legislature, which was the first to consider payment.
consults. However, the 1978 session gave approval last week to a special claims bill that authorizes the $20,000 award plus interest accrued through Feb. 15. The total amount to be paid in the check is $288,733, according to Hoffman.
AN ATTENNARY for Trug-Nichols and Evans Electrical Construction Co., the other firm involved in the suit, said the arbitration payment would not stop the companies from
Evans Electric was awarded $24,342 of its original arbitration request for $770,235 in a decision in December. The award has not yet been paid.
seeking their original arbitration requests plus $1 million in punitive damages.
Hortman said the payment of the arbitration award to Trupee-Nichols invaded the tribunal's jurisdiction.
He said that once the company's claim had been determined, such as by the payment of an arbitration award, it could not be brought up again.
CHARLES SVOBODA, the attorney for the two construction firms, said that today's check would not halt the lawsuit.
In a statement filed by Svoboda in the court, the companies allege that the state knowingly gave them the defected plan and that they have gone over work with basic science building.
The companies each claim $1 million in punitive damages because "the false and discontented misrepresentations made to the defendant are unfortunate and without just cause or excuse."
