Student representatives to the KU Athletic Center (KUAC) will meet next week to draw up an alternative proposal for a million for renovations on Memorial Stadium.
The proposal, currently being considered,
will increase the price on tickets to
KU football games.
Steve Leben, student body president and KUAC representative, said yesterday that he and other student members would meet early next week to draw up a proposal to take some of the financial load off the students.
The current proposal calls for an increase of 50 cents a game on student tickets, raising season tickets from the present $20 to $23.
Faculty tickets would increase up to 75 cents a game and public tickets would increase up to 100 cents.
Permission was given by KUAC to Clyde Walker, athletic director, to take the proposed increase to the Big Eight representative's meeting last week.
ALL FOUR STUDENT members and
unsuccessful member voted against the propo-
sition.
The surcharge would finance the following renovations to the stadium:
Waterproofing, new seating and concrete $750,000
pementation of the plan requires a final vote by the KUAC.
The Big Eight representatives unanimously approved KU's proposed rule.
Home and visitors dressing rooms remodeling $100,000

WALKER HAS PROPOSED that the $2 million for renovations be financed through a loan from the Endowment Association over a 15- to 25-year period.
The Victory Club is an area for donors to the Williams Educational Scholarship Fund to eat and lounge prior to football games.
The VIP section would be a glass enclosed section of seats that would sell at a much higher rate than regular public seating.
Leben said he was fairly certain the student proposal, which would be presented at this year's national conference,

Civic groups disagree on new center
By STEVE PARSONS Staff Writer
Disagreeing with a decision made by another East Lawrence neighborhood group Monday night, the Far East Lawrence Improvement Association unanimously voted last night to support continued ties for new East Lawrence Community Center.
The 20-4 endorsement of the center contrasts sharply with a 16-1 vote earlier this week by the East Lawrence Improvement Association, which voted to ask the Lawrence City Commission to stop planning for the center.
The center, a recreational and meeting facility for Lawrence residents who live east of Massachusetts Street, was approved by the commission last spring and is to use $250,000 in federal community development funds.
The commission voted Tuesday night to
the further plan, which argues that both
neighborhood groups.
THE COMMISSIONERS said they would wait to hear from the Far East association before making a decision, probably at next Tuesday night's commission meeting.
The Far East group voted last night to tell the commission that it preferred a site near 18th and Haskell streets, adjacent to Edgewood Park. The commission has suggested three sites, including this one, as possible locations for the center.
The other locations are the center's current site at the corner of 10th and Delaware streets and the block on which New York Elementary school is located, about two blocks northwest of the current site.
The Far East association's site preference is within the boundaries of the Far East neighborhood and the other two areas where the boundaries of the East Lawrence area.
BARBARA WILLIES, board member of the East Lawrence group, said she objected to the Edgewood site because she thought that children in the East Lawrence area not be used to it and that it was close to existing community center at Edgeworth Park.
Members of the Far East group disagreed, saying that their site was centrally located and would serve all Lawrence residents east of Massachusetts rather than just those who live in the northern region, who are served by the current center.
As an alternative to building a new center, Willits said the East Lawrence group favored using the federal funds for individual housing. The group also noted Some of the money could also be used to improve the current community center, she said.

Carter vows to protect energy plan
WASHINGTON - President Jimmy Carter said yesterday he planned to move quickly to protect his energy program from intense lobbying efforts in the Senate by the oil and gas industry. He said that ending federal controls on fuel prices could result in "the biggest rip-off in history."
Carter made the remarks in a nationally broadcast news conference. He also defended the Panama Canal treaty, confirmed that a tax cut will be part of his tax revision proposal and said he probably would support the Humphrey-Hawkins bill designed to promote full employment. See story page two.

Agreement includes Palestinians
JERUSALEM—Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan yesterday released to the Israeli Knesset the text of the joint U.S.-Israel "working paper" on a renewed Middle East peace conference in Geneva. Included in the terms of the "working paper" will be the representation of the Arabs by a unified Arab delegation that will include Palestinians. After the opening session, the conference will split into several working groups.
HEW, Labor payroll continued
Meanwhile, Israeli government sources said that during a "brutal" six-hour meeting with Dayan last week, President Jimmy Carter blamed Israel for obstructing Middle East peace efforts and warned of a freeze in U.S. Israel. The Israeli Carter made concessions desired by the Israelis in the final draft of the paper.
WASHINGTON - The House and Senate each passed a resolution yesterday that keeps money flowing to meet payrolls and continues programs of the departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare through the end of the month.
Senators and representatives must settle the controversial abortion issue by then or further extend the temporary pay measure. The House and Senate have been unable to agree on a compromise agreement to be formally funded. The abortion issue has held up since July a $60 billion appropriation to fund the agencies during the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
Locally . . .
Never mind the creaky floors and diaparadis seats. Forget the crowded conditions in the lecture halls and reading room. The memories of students, faculty and staff in the KU School of Law are all pleasant today—the last day of classes in old Green Hall. Built in 1907 for $70,000, the law school has for years tolerated overcrowding and inconvenience in the building it has called home. But this week we learn that the building will be built to the west for about $5 million. And the new building doesn't even have a flight of steps in front from which to watch passers-by. See story page seven.
