University of Kansas students who returned to Lawrence Saturday night after Thanksgiving break should be thankful just how much damage caused two deaths and crippled traffic throughout eastern Kansas and Missouri—caused more than 40 accidents in the city.
A Warnego woman was killed when her car skidded out of control on U.S. 24 and was struck by another vehicle. Also killed was a Kansas City, Kan., woman who was found dead in her car in an intersection near her home.
Lawrence police said that icy streets caused 15 accidents in the city.

Most of the accidents were caused by an inability to stop at intersections, police said.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office reported more than 25 accidents between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m., along with dozens of stalled cars.
SEVERAL PERSONS were treated at and released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. A nurse at Watkins Hospital said that no one was treated there because icy roads made the emergency room inaccessible.
No serious accidents were reported in the Lawrence area, police said.

Sadat's acting foreign minister, Butros B.
Sadat said the Cairo meeting could start as early as next Saturday, but official sources said it might be delayed for a week beyond that.
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt delivered formal invitations yesterday to a preparatory peace conference in Cairo next week as the U.S. president President Anne Sadat's initiative.
He said he was forging ahead toward a comprehensive Mideast settlement at Geneva even though the Arab world disagreed.
The Egyptian president said he had informed neither the United States nor his Arab allies in advance about the Carro meeting. He said he intended to call an Arab summit conference after reaching a settlement at Geneva.

RADIO BROADCASTS that warned of hazardous road conditions were either unheard or unheeded as holiday travelers were surprised and unprepared for the layer of ice that began to coat roads and highways shortly after 5 a.m.

Sadat said in a television interview that representatives at the Cairo summit would sit around a table and work without a mediator.

present a problem with the Kansas Legislature.
IT MIGHT COMPLICATE KU's request for funding the new library because the legislature might question whether KU wants branch libraries, the official said.
The KU library system has four branch libraries: Science, in Malcolm Hall; Architecture and engineering, in Marvin Hall; Music, in Murphy Hall; and Mathematics, in Strong Hall. The Law Library in Green Hall and the Medicine Library on the KU Center campus in Kansas City, Kan. are not included in the KU library system.
But he said, "We want libraries to serve as an educational resource for students."
Kahn said moving the Art Library to Sencer Museum would be convenient for a group of visitors.
THERE ARE 47 art history majors, compared with 450 architecture members.
Kahn said he objected to making an exception in the no-branch library proposal for only the Art Library, when it would serve a relatively small academic department. Kahn said a branch library in the School of architecture would have benefited more people.
Although Katzman and other faculty members said that if the library were moved out of Watson the number of hours it was onen would be cut. Kehde disheared.
"If the Art Library moves to Spencer it will be open the same hours as Watson is,"
Jeannette Wootton, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, and member of the research team at NASA, said that branch libraries are open fewer hours than Watson because the branch library is located in a building.
Watson is open 86 hours a week.
THE NUMBER of hours that the Art Library would be open if it were moved to Spencer has not been established yet because funds have not been found.
But Wootton said it had been hard in the past for the libraries to get money for books.
Keble said that for Spencer to have hours similar to Watson's, "the permanent staff would be the same as it is now. We would require them to work with assistants. That cost would cost $5,000 more a year."
According to Wootton, the libraries had acquired $44,000 for student assistant $85,000.
The request represented a 108 per cent
request for $165,745 the libraries had
received for 1979-77.
Seymour said that a philanthropic foundation would most likely finance the loan.
WHAT THE LIBRARIES received this year represented a 3 per cent increase from the previous year.
However, funds for the lower level of Spencer Museum have not been found yet, Todd Seymour, president of the Kansas University Endowment Association said.
Meanwhile, at least one faculty member who opposes the move has thought of another solution for the overcrowded art library.
Banks said the ideal solution would be to make enough room in Watson for the Art Gallery.
"Faculty studies and the KU Press could be moved out of the third floor," Banks said, which had been the center of the project.
libraries, although it is very convenient for everybody to be there."
RONCALGAARD, vice cancellor for academic affairs, appointed a committee recently to determine the use of the lower level (Level A) of Snorer Museum.
The University Senate Libraries Committee is also looking into the issue.
"We are meeting with representatives of various departments to become better informed about the issues we face."
The situation has not always been as it is now.
According to Kehde, a decision to move the Art Library from Watson to Spencer Museum was announced about two-and-a-half years ago.
But Wootton said the decision to put the Art Library in Spencer Museum had been under reconsideration since the beginning of the month.
"Before, it was our understanding that Mrs. Spencer wanted the Art Library as a library to study art," she said.
Wootton said that at the Nov. 1 libraries committee meeting she learned that Spencer had not managed that the lower library was wanted but he had wanted what was best for the library.
Calgaard denied that the decision to put a art library in Spencer Museum was ever made.
"There had been a discussion in the past about the possibility of moving the Art Library to the lower level of Spencer who no final decision has been made," he said.
But T.R. Smith, professor of geography, said the decision to put the Art Library in Spencer was announced when he was chairman of the libraries committee.
The instructions urge the libraries committee to look into specific actions involved in planning for new library facilities and to consider the development of policies
Suggestions about moving should not have surprised the libraries committee, according to instructions SenEx set for the libraries committee.
Kahn is a number of faculty members who are concerned with where the books currently in the Art Library but used elsewhere in the apartments would go if the move were made.
"The decision was announced as a fact. It came as a great surprise to the libraries and the staff."
the feasibility of an art library in the lower level of the then-proposed Spencer Museum, Charles Eldredge, director of Spencer Museum, said.
The Art Museum, the department of art history and the Endowment Association were represented on that committee, Eldredge said.
that emergency vehicles could not reach their destinations," Richardson said. "At one point, every ambulance in the city was on a call."
"The decision was made in a closed meeting without consulting library people and without consulting people with a vested interest in art and architecture holdings," he said.
After 7 p.m., traffic was bumper to bumper from the Truman Swans Complex to the Lewis and Clark Vliadet, Richardson said. Dozens of cars in that 10-mile skidded off road shoulders or stalled on unhill roads, further hindering traffic.
Kahn said he was upset with the decision-makers did not consult his despair.
Robert Malinowsky, associate dean of libraries, said that Spencer had designated the lower level of Spencer Museum for an art library.
The Level A committee met last week and heard arguments from both sides about the proposed move to the Spencer Museum. Some members were not satisfied with the proposal, and the level A and Larkean Committees have, yet made recommendations to Calgaard.
About 1,000 architecture books are in the Art Library. Kahn said.
"Nobody had any say in that," he said,
"because traditionally donors announce what they designate for the building when the plans are finished."
THE LEVEL A Committee and the libraries committee are now discussing what books would move to Spencer Museum.
"We want to make sure the building (Spencer Museum is put to proper use) so that Mrs. Spencer and all of us can be proud of it," Wootton said.

A SPOKESMAN for the Kansas Turnpike Authority said that maximum speeds on the turpike Saturday ranged from 20 to 35 miles an hour. Slower speeds were the rule, however, and at one point east of Lawrence, traffic was stalled for several hours.
Topeka police attributed more than 80 accidents between 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to ice roads. More than 30 people were treated for minor injuries at several Topeka
A national Weather Service spokesman in Topeka said that only a trace of rain was recorded, but that roads became muddy and rain fell in below-freezing temperatures.

SYRIA REJECTED Sadat's invitation in advance, but Syrian Ambassador Ahmed al Assaad said he would forward it to his government. He was asked whether there was a chance Syria might attend and replied, "Until now, no."
It was not immediately known if the United States had been given an invitation to deliver to Israel or if one had been extended to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which has said it would not attend.
An Egyptian Foreign Ministry official said Palestinians had been invited. He added, "Everyone will interpret what he says in his own position. Egypt's position is clear."
Egypt accepted a resolution at the 1974 Arab summit conference calling the PLO the sole representative of the Palestinian people. But the official's statement appeared to be one he was looking for a way to overcome Israeli objections to sitting down with the PLO.
A spokesman for Israel Prime Minister Menahem Begin said in Jerusalem that Israel would not go to Cairo if the PLO sent a representative.
"NO ISRAELI delegation will negotiate in any way and any place with the so-called PLO, whether it is in Geneva or Cairo or the moon." Bezin said after a cabinet meeting.
Begin also said Israel would attend the Cairo meeting even if it meant negotiating only with Egyptians. Sadat said Saturday that Arabs came, he would talk with the Israeli.
The Israeli leader said his cabinet would choose its negotiator after the formal invitation has been received. Foreign officials Dayan was considered a likely choice.
In ruling out a trip to Cairo, Syria and the PLO announced they would attend an Arab "retusal summit" scheduled Thursday in Tripoli, Libya, to form a opposed opposition to Sadaf's initiative. Also expected to attend that meeting are representatives from Algeria, Iraq and South Yemen, which are opposed to any deals with Israel.
SADAT'S SUMMONS to the Mideast disputants to meet in Cairo came a week after his dramatic visit to Israel, a visit he said broke down psychological barriers to Arab-Iraeli negotiations and to reconvening the Geneva peace conference. The conference has been recessed since a brief opening in 1973.
Sources in Damascus said Syria had忌盐inastemins to refuse to attend Sadda's meeting.
The sources said it was believed that a similar request was made to U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan.
A PLO spokesman in Beirut issued a statement Saturday threatening any West Bank Arab with execution if he attended the Cairo meeting.
Jordan and Lebanon have not responded to the invitation. The United States said the meeting could be helpful, but declined to offer it. Jordan needed to consult other countries involved.
