Closing the gates
Kansas Gov. Robert F. Bennett surveyed the unified Clinton Reservoir in search of likely fishing spots just before the dam's gates were closed to begin filling the lakeset.
The lake will be filled by the Wakarusa River in several stages during the next four-and- one-half years.
Water collection starts at Clinton
While the gates at Clinton Dam officially closed yesterday to begin water collection at the reservoir, Topeka officials left unapproved Lawrence's application for a contract that would provide reservoir water to Lawrence.
More than 150 people witnessed the gate-closing ceremony at the dam's control tower, including Kansas Gov. Robert R. Osborne and U.S. Army Corps of Ensigns officials.
Meanwhile, officials of the Kansas Water Resources Board delayed action on ap-

water to Lawrence and other nearby communities.
Lawrence wants the contract approved before Jun. to qualify for reduced rates during the year.
CLINTON HAS a projected storage capacity of 397,000 acre-feet, with 110,400 acre-feet reserved for state allocation and sale.
Board officials reviewed the tentative contract and decided that it might be necessary to call a special meeting later this month to review the city's contract app-
The reservoir, four miles southwest of
Lawrence, will be filled in stages during the next four-and-a-half years. When filled, the lake will cover 7,000 acres, 875 feet above sea level.
The staged-filling plan is supposed to allow the city of Lawrence to begin taking water from the lake as soon as the city's population reaches 1 million, probably in the summer of 1979. The four-
stage filling is expected to be completed in 1981.
BILL WOODS, chairman of the water resources committee of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said the lake would provide sustained benefits for the area.

The ceremony concluded when officials and guests descended several levels inside the dam's control tower to watch the actual closing of the gates.
Policy tightens enrollment cash
University of Kansas students paying fees at enrollment for the spring semester should be ready with a check for the exact amount, Coy, University comptroller, said yesterday.
Under the University policy to begin this spring, enrollment cashers will not be able to return more than $25 in change to students paying tuition with grant checks.
McCoy said that the reason for the change was a Kamaas law that restricts for security reasons the amount of cash state universities can have on hand during enrollment.
Under the new policy, students needing more change than the $25 limit will receive a fee of 10 cents. Students with no change will be charged.
The new policy will mean that after paying their fees, students needing more than $2 in change will have to go to another school. The new policy is in the form of a check from the University.
SINCE LAST spring the payment station at enrollment has tried to limit the amount of change to $0, but because of the size of the accounts that was often impossible, McCova said.
Because of the limit on cash supplies, the cashiers would have to make several trips to the bank each enrollment day to keep up with the demands for chance. he said.
To help solve the change problem, the KU
Office of the Comptroller began last spring to have student grants split into two checks. In this way students could pay enrollment fees with one check and keep the other one.
McCoy said that with the split-check system his office could estimate a student's fees and reduce the amount of change needed at the cashiers table.
The problem now, McCoy said, is students who have short-term loans or who switch from non-resident to resident status, thus changing their fees.
STUDENTS who pay cash for their enrollment fees will be able to get a student discount of $20 per month on $20 worth of Tuition.
Final examinations will end Dec. 23 this fall, and classes will begin Jan. 18 for the spring semester. This schedule cuts KU's total class load this year, compared with 31 days last year.
Homicide prompts $5,000-reward offer
KU was forced to cut the vacation time to comply with a 1970 Board of Regents ruling. The Regents ruling requires all Kansas higher education institutions to begin the fall semester on a Monday and the spring semester on a Wednesday. Because of an error in previous calendar planning, KU has violated the ruling until this semester.
A $ 1,000 reward has been offered by the F.W. Woolworth Co. for information on the homicide this week of Sam C. Norwood, who managed the company's Lawrence store.
In a statement yesterday, J.E. Clark, the company's district manager, said the company would pay $5,000 to any person, other than a law enforcement official or lawyer, in information resulting in the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Norwood's death.
Norwood, 30, was found Tuesday slain on the north bank of the Kansas River north of
the town.
An autopsy showed that he died from four gunshot wounds from a 38-caliber handgun in the left rear of the head, Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney, said yesterday.
carrying presents for his son Jonathan's fifth birthday party, police said. Police earlier had incorrectly reported that Norwood's son was eight years old.
His body was found at 10:14 a.m. tuesday by a police officer on a routed patrol. The victim's hands were bound behind his back with adhesive tape, police said.
NORWOOD, WHO had lived in Lawrence three months, was last seen alive at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
Authorities said the victim's locked car was found Monday night in a parking lot across the street from the back entrance of the store. 911 Massachusetts St.
Police say they had no suspects or knew of no motives for the slaying. Norwood made a bank deposit of the store's receipts before he left the building. Norwood's wife, Carolyn, became worried Monday after he had not arrived and she called the assistant manager in Topeka and

Carter to push tax cuts next year
WASHINGTON - A push for substantial tax cuts will begin as soon as possible next year. President Jimmy Carter said at a news conference yesterday. He might put off sending Congress a complicated tax reform proposal because he feared it could tie up the tax cuts. See story page two.
Financial troubles plague Amtrak
WASHINGTON—The House voted an extra $18 million for Amtrak yesterday, but the president of Amtrak said it will be about $25 million in the red for transportation.
Cargo stranded in strike unloaded
NEW YORK—Longshoremen yesterday began unloading billions of dollars worth of cargo strapped on east Coast and Gulf coast docks during the longshoremen's two-month strike against container ships. The goods, however, still might not reach stores in time for Christmas.
Philadelphia and New Orleans ports remained idle while longshoremen in those cities voted on local contracts.
Members for the International Longshermen's Association in 32 ports voted by an almost 34-to-1 margin Tuesday to accept a new three-year contract that will extend their contract through 2026.
The sources said there might be a breakthrough in the case by Christmas. Park is the key figure in an investigation into alleged payoffs to congressmen and others in an attempt to promote pro-Korean policies in Washington. Park, 41, has denied any wrongdoing.
CAIRO-Egyptian President Anwar Sadat yesterday told Arab critics of his peace initiative that he would finish what he had started, but the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) asked the Egyptian army to stop Sadat's peace effort. See story page two.
SEOUL, South Korea—Millionaire businessman Tongsun Park is contrite about his strining relations between Washington and Seoul and might come to the United States to face questioning in the Korean bribery scandal, government sources said yesterday.
Contrite Park might come to U.S.

Holdings of the architecture library were split between Marvin Hall and Watson Library two years ago, and what was meant to be a temporary separation of materials is now a nagging problem for architecture students. The problem may be further complicated if Watson's art library, which contains architecture holdings, is moved to the new Helen Foresman Spencer Museum. See story page three.
Revue acts announced by producer
Four acts that will be featured at next year's Rock Chalk Revue were announced last night by Beauford Woods, Rock Chalk producer.
The participants and their scripts are Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Sigma Chi fraternity, "Everything You've Always Wanted to Know about Rock Chalk but were Afraid to Ask"; Delta Delta sorrority and Phi Kappa Pi fraternity, "Rich Man, Con Man, or Bullish on Broadway"; Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Phi Gamma "Two for the Show"; and Hashinger residence hall, "When Curtain Calls Are Fare."
The theme of the 1978 Rock Chalk Revue is "Broadway Bound."
"I's impossible to tell what group wrote what script," Eleanor Burchill, coordinator of KUY and one of six judges, said. "But the scripts made me very curious. They were magnificent works of art. I had a difficult time deciding on which were the best.
The groups were selected by KU-Y on the basis of their scripts. The scripts were submitted anonymously before flagging to prevent bias in judging them.
KU living groups were paired into 12 groups last April. Wills said Hashinger was not paired with another group because men and women live in the hall.
"About 40 per cent of the points were based on the script, continuity to theme, originality, and innovation," she said. "The other 60 per cent were based on the music, judged by an accompanying tape, and the technical aspects, such as the set and cast."
Burchill said the groups were chosen on a point system.
"Two for the show." by Kappa Kappa
Gast actress Phi Gamma Delta, was named
best actress.
The annual Rock Chalk Revue will be held on Monday and Saturday, March 24 and May 8 at Auditorium A.
Best script also was announced last night at a dinner organized by the Rock Chalk organization.
Burchill said receipts from Rock Chalk ticket sales supported the yearly budget of $1.6 million.
"Last year we made about $7,000," she said. "It is the mainstay of the program and has been successful."
Ads rejected by local theaters

If television felt a need to reciprocate for "made-for-television" movies, the debt has been paid. Please welcome "made-for-theatre" commercials.
Last month, up to three minutes of commercials began appearing before features on 1,000 theater screens in major U.S. cities.
"A LOT of our theaters run screen checks," he said, "but they're sold locally."
Lawrence, however, will not be one of the participating cities. Although an advertisement for a local automobile dealership has appeared on screens here, the lack of signage in some have been made to exhibit national commercials in Lawrence theaters,
Eldon Harwood, Lawrence city manager for Commonwealth Theatres, was not enthusiastic about the concept of theatrical commercials.
"My personal feeling is that we have about all of it that I want," he said. "I would rather avoid it."
A spokesman for a theater chain involved in the project said the big screen commercials would not be as obnoxious as many of those on television.
according to Don Starkweather, film buyer for Commonwealth Theatres. Starkweather is responsible for the films shown in Lawrence.
"These will be soft, entertaining commercials—not the kind of hard-sell commercials you see on TV for deodorants or skincare." The footwear footage of skydivers falling through the sky and landing into logos of soft drinks. That sort of thing."
EXHIBITORS ARE resorting to screen commercials to bolster declining earnings caused, they say, by a shortage of films.
To offset the financial decline, two companies have formed to produce and distribute theatrical commercials. By February, the companies anticipate that
