Wednesday morning the Democratic candidate for the 3rd District Congressional breakfasted on an Egg McMuffin, coffee and juice at his breakfast. The Republican answered questions from a reporter while taking messages from his staff. He then headed to Kansas City to have lunch with a potential donor, rally his Wyandotte County workers, and address three civic groups in Johnson Counties. His campaign, he said, was a six-and-a-half day a week job. Watkins is running hard to beat Shawnee Mission School Board President Jack Weyford in the Aug. 5 primary. If he succeeds, he will face seven incumbent Rep. Larry Winn. Dan, in November's general election. WINN HAS ENJOYED little opposition in recent races. He has not had Watkins, 32, is a political veteran and has close ties to the state's Democratic establishment. a close race in the heavily Republican 3rd district since he beat Jim DeCourney in 1970, Watkins said. Winn unposed in 1978. He was a VISTA Volunteer in Florida for two years, and was graduated from the University of Missouri. He was an attorney in the Criminal Division of the Attorney General's office before resigning in 1789 to serve as director in the director of the state Democratic Party. Watkins took over *John Carlin's* faltering gubernatorial campaign in September 1978, and is credited with the formation of a governmentary over former Governor Robert Bennett. Watkins served as Gov. Carlin's administrative assistant for a year. He resigned in January to campaign for Congress. Bill Hoch, Carlin's press secretary and a friend of Watkins, said, running "Political affairs are in Dan's blood," Hoch said. "Throughout his adult life he's been involved in current events and public affairs." for public office is a natural thing for Watkins to do. "It sounds corny, but I think he wants to go to Congress because he feels he can make a difference." WATKINS HAS A penchant for detail. He said he thought about the race for several months before declaring his candidacy. Hired a polling firm to determine Winn's popularity, and said he was encouraged to see that it showed Winn lacked recognition in the district. He took to dodon campaigning, and to use television and radio spots late in the race. Charles A. Bartholomew, who did the television advertising for Sen. Gary D. Hart, D-Miss. Rep. Dan Glickman, D-Kent, and will also handle Watkins' campaigns. Watkins will attack Winn on his 60 percent legislative attendance, his foreign travel—ten weeks out of the country in the last two years, Watkins has his poor performance as a legislator. Watkins said no piece of Winn-sponsored legislation has ever become law. Winn was first elected to Congress in 1966. "You have to have something to offer so people know what you stand for," Watkins said. "But Winn's record is a factor. "I am not the favorite in this thing, by any means." REGISTERED REPUBLICANS outnumber Democrats almost 2 to 1 in Johnson County, the district's most populous. Watkins said he would work to attract the 50 percent of the voters who are registered as independent. He has strong family ties in Johnson County. His father is a former Prairieville councilman. He said he had his support in the county and Wyandotte County. He and his wife, Watkins said he would spend $200,000 in the primary and general election races. Phyllis, who is a school librarian, are long4time residents of Douglas County. "INFLATION CAN'T BE beaten by tight money policies alone, and a balance budget is more symbolic than economic, although it is a worthy goal," he said. The four-county district was difficult to campaign in because it contained urban work-class areas, suburbs, farms and KU, he said. He cited better security, energy, the economy and national security as common concerns. "The '80s demand a different philosophy from the '90s, '40s, '50s and the '60s. It will require cooperation and planning from all groups—business, education, labor, the military—allocate resources in a fair way." He said, "I feel I'm a person that can motivate people, and who can work with diverse groups. Barn wanted for re-use as fire station By MARK PITTMAN Staff Reporter Staff Reporter The Grover barn now lies in ruins. Its native limestone walls bow outward with the weight of more than 120 years on a hill overlooking 23rd Street. But if a $260,000 municipal bond issue passes Aug. 5, the Grover barn will become Lawrence's fourth fire station. The historical significance of the structure has caused the city to put the church to "adaptive re-use," using the old fire an integral part of the new fire station. Jim McSwain, Lawrence fire chief, described the plan as "very cost-effective." He said this week that a fire man killed two people at Lawrence Avenue would improve the department's response time 15 percent and increase the budget 5.2 percent. McSwan said he would hire six firefighters to man the station. THE NEW STATION would serve the West side of the KU campus and the city's expanding west and south sectors, he said. It would also relieve Fire Station No. 1 from serving all the runs to the residence hall on Daisy Hill. McSwain said the new location would add to the flexibility of his department in city-wide coverage of fires. The preliminary drawings for the proposed station show the use of the original barn as living quarters for the firefighters with a two-level "breezeway" connecting the barn with a garage for trucks and equipment. contain quarters for women should any become Lawrence firefighters. Now there are no facilities for women firefighters in Lawrence. The preliminary drawings also INCORPORATING THE old structure to its new use will be a challenge, said Dave Evans, the architect in charge of the proposed project for Design Build. The plans even contain a fireman's pole, a traditional element in any firehouse, though only Station One boasts one. The two additions to the original structure will be leveled, leaving only the original stone walls. Those walls must be reinforced and braced at the top of the wall, so that the building may have to be rebuilt because of cracks in the foundation, he said. Evans estimated the barn's renovation cost $20,000 more than a new building, but said the building had a lot of "emotional significance that you can't put a dollar figure on." Evans was a student of the barn's owner, Bernard "Poco" Frazier, professor of architecture in the late 1970s and early 1970s. Frazier died in 1976. TRACES OF THE diminutive sculptor are still around the stone barn. Tiles from a mosaic he finished in the late 1960s still litter the ground. Small ceramic figures line a shelf. In the former used as an office, a rain stained wall with two white two dislipidated chairs stand off to one side. The cupboard pantry doors swing wide, revealing bare shelves. The Grover barn's significance goes back a century before Poco Frazier according to at least one KU researcher. Craig Crosswhite, a researcher at the Spencer Research Library, says he has almost proven that the Grover Barn is being used in the Underground Railroad for slaves. "I've got three sources that wrote after the fact about Grover barn as a site of the Underground Railroad." Crosswhite said. "Local oral history it. There are still some old-timmers in town that knew Joe Grover's sons." Joel Grover, who died in 1879, was a civic minded citizen, according to historians.
