Douglas County commissioners tentatively approved yesterday a proposal to allow local administration of the county's Douglas County Child Development Association.
The association is a group of four day-care centers that receive funding from the county, the city and the United Fund to provide day-care service for low-income families.
Association representatives said the proposal would end a freeze on new applicants and would allow 18 more children to attend the centers than were now enrolled
The state Social Rehabilitation Service (SRS), which matches local allocations with federal funds, has been administering the orogram out of Topeka.
TED MINTUN, spokesman for the SRS, said recently that some 1977 day-care funds would have to be administered locally. Because the SRS had used up this year’s portion of the budget for funds he said it was longer responsible for administering remaining 1977 local funds.
Mintun said enrollments at the four centers had increased so much in the first half of 1977 that the matching funds for the entire year had been used to pay those
At yesterday's commission meeting, association representatives proposed to hire a new attorney.
Commissioners to hear request for lot rezoning
The Old West Lawrence Association will request the Lawrence City Commission to consider rezoning several lots along Ninth Street between Vermont and Illinois streets at tonight's commission meeting. The National Bank building in 900 Massachusetts St.
The Old West Lawrence Association is a group of citizens interested in preserving Old West Lawrence, bounded by Sixth and Fourth Avenues in Michigan streets. The association succeeded several years ago in getting the National History Register.
The association now is concerned with changing one-third of the six and a half blocks along the north side of Ninth Street to an RS-2 residential zone designation.
A C-5 ZONING designation allows for certain retail activities intended to serve, and dependent upon, the motoring public. Businesses such as drive-in restaurants, service stations, small grocery stores and hotels could be built adjacent to existing homes.
L. L. Houston, spokesman for the Old West Lawrence Association, said last night that the commercial zoning made it difficult for home owners to get home improvement
An RS-2 zoning designation is designed to provide for single-family residences where development of such residences appears desirable.
He said the association primarily was concerned with preventing the neighborhood from becoming another Sixth Street or 23rd Street. He said that many homeowners become absentee renters under those conditions.

local funds and to make monthly reports to the three funding agencies.
They also proposed to let the local SRS office determine financial eligibility, which is based on an income of less than 80 percent of the state median income.
Local funds are used to finance one half of the tuition, and low-income families
The proposal called for the same procedure for administration of 1978 allocations. The SRS had said it would be unable to match any allocation exceeding $18,650. The local allocation for next year is $27,900.
The commissioners agreed to accept the proposal, pending approval by the city and state.
The association expects to present the proposal to the other funding agencies on
University of Kansas students expected to receive HELP loan checks last August, but delays in financing, gaining approval from the U.S. Office of Education and loan application distribution have caused more than a two-month delay.
The delays, Bergan said, could be ex-
when starting a completely new pro-
gram.
The HELP program was recommended to the governor by the Regents last February because some Kansas students were unable to secure loans through commercial banks.
BERGAN SAID that in 1975, before HELP was started, Kansas banks were lending more than $10 million to students under the federally insured student loan program. However, he said, the Regents were concerned about those students unable to obtain loans.
Bergan said that banks become reluctant to make loans to students under the federally insured program because of the tremendous amount of paperwork involved, frequent changes in the program, and rumors of a high default rate by students.
Jeff Weinberg, KU associate director financial aid, said that he thought the HELP program had promised more than it could deliver by promising the loans by August.
Bergan said that he never expected the checks to be available by August and that his office had never reported they would be available then.

STUDENTS WHO planned to get HELP checks in August were perhaps a bit eager to get their money or did not listen well to the advice when they applied for loans. Bergan said.

The HELP program was approved by the state to alleviate problems in the student loan program HELP is a branch of the bank (HEAF), a Minnesota-based nonprofit corporation. The HELP program lends money directly to students who have not been able to secure loans from commercial banks or loans that Kansas banks make to students.
