Murder lead sought in Colorado
The investigation into the slaying of Sam Norwood, a Lawrence store manager, has spread to Colorado. Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney, said yesterday.
Norwood's body was found a week ago on the bank of the Kansas River at the end of New York Street. He had been shot in the head four times with a 38 caliber handgun. Norwood was manager of the F.W. department store, 911 Massachusetts St.
Police reported last week that the occupants of a late model care were being treated.
The car had been stolen in the Denver area, police said.
Malone said yesterday that a warrant had been issued charging the occupants with car theft.
However, Malone stressed that the warrant was issued because the occupants were seen in a stolen car in Lawrence and Burke. The police asked or questioning in connection with the murder.
"We want to question them because they were reported in the area at the time of the crime."

Rex Johnson, Douglas County sheriff, said his office had not received any letters concerning the murder even though the F.W. Woolworth Co. had offered a $5,000 bond for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the crime.
Johnson also said that no other letters had been received concerning the Vanera Smith murder. One letter was received after the case, Yield Reward Fund offered a $1,000 reward.
Smith was found beaten to death in her home the morning of Nov. 8.

Leads still are being checked in that case, Johnson said.
recommended legal action by the state to recover the damage claims.
SIDOROWICZ, PRESIDENT of the firm, was convicted in January 1976 of conspiracy to commit bribery in the kickback of $30,000 in 1972 to the re-election campaign of former Gov. Robert Dowirk. Sidorowicz made the kickback in return for the original $500,000 design contract on the Med Center expansion project.
Sidorowicz currently is appealing his one- five-year sentence to the Kansas Court of Law.
Continual construction problems have hindered the completion of the Med Center Project.
Last summer, a two-month bricklayer's strike delayed construction of the new 515-bed hospital.
Miller said construction would be completed in April 1979.
Gov. Robert Bennett has called the Meed Center project "an outstanding example of the worst piece of construction that has played in the Midwest in the last century."

Miller said the HDF1 involvement in the house was not hidden from the students and was mentioned in both the contract and the rules that outlines the house programs and rules.

Although Miller said the house was closed during the summer of 1978 for repairs, the city fire and building inspectors said recently that the Sunflower House did not meet city building and state fire codes when inspected last year.

The house residents were asked to pay for a $10,000 fire alarm system, Opeim said, because Miller said that the association had no funds available to pay for the system.
"But I was treasurer of the house from October 1975 to October 1976," he said, "and I found out that the association held additional property on Delaware Street valued at more than $10,000 and additional capital reserves."
MILLER SAID the necessary repairs were made last summer.
Closing...
However, Cheryl Shabkao, Osatwamite sophomores and current resident, said that he had been told by one of the fire escapees yet and that the two fire escapes that had been installed did not serve the third floor of
Miller said that the association did not have funds to pay for the system, so it had sold the house on Delaware Street early this year and used the money, along with a $20,000 mortgage on the property, to pay for the improvements.

Many residents, both past and present, said they thought HDFL had become too "conventional" to cope with the crisis.
BECAUSE OF A severe housing shortage in Lawrence last spring, the research group was able to interview more than 300 people and select the 30 that they thought best fit their behavior modification programs. Jay Allen, a student at Scripps sophomore and former resident, said.
"They want apathetic students," he said.
"They purposefully choose losers whom they
can control and who won't put up any opposition."
Miller said that a screening process was not used to contract students.
"We have tried to get a variety and cross-section of the student population," he said.
"We have never tried to get a certain type or group."
The association has delegated some power to residents, Bogler said, but the system is set up so that the research group can decide on decision or change proposed by the residents.
"IF ONE OF THEM (the board mem-
bers) notices that I didn't aim at him I
would be very ashamed."
But according to Miller, the association only used this authority when the existence of the house and its programs were threatened.
"Some changes take a unanimous vote, so only one graduate student's vote could knock out a proposal," he said. "And others require a 75 per cent majority vote. With only two people in office it takes only seven people, grad students and their followers, to block a decision."
This also has heightened the conflict between the residents and the research community.
The research group's last project was the
development of a work-sharing program, in which the residents do the work around the house with the incentive of a partial rent rebate
"THEHS WORKED quite well," Miller said. "Everyone works and does his share." But Schmitenford said the program encouraged students and treated them as children.
"They give you detailed instructions on how to do menial tasks," he said. "Like an eight item list on how to clean the bathroom."
Without the work-sharing program, Miller said, his research had shown that the work-sharing program was useful.
Miller said that he hoped closed the house and strengthening the rules and regulations would make it possible to avoid problems in the future.
"And the grad students depend on Miller and the house for their Ph.D.s. They certainly aren't going to complain or call Miller a slumlord." he said.
ACCORDING TO *Schmintenfordt*, the residents did not complain because they were afraid of losing their low-cost housing and because of the high turnover rate.
"We're going to develop a new procedure for screening membership," he said. "The people living there now have been infected, so we don't want to be hassled with them anymore."
