Younger Winter to seek House seat
By SCOTT C. FAUST Staff Reporter
Lawrence attorney Wint Winter Jr., a recently announced Republican candidate for the 40th District Kansas House seat, said yesterday that he supported as big a faculty salary increase for Kansas Board of Schools as state resources would allow.
Winter, the 26-year-old son of State Rep. Winter, P.O. Ottawa, and a 1978 U.S. representative who served as representative he would work on behalf of the University of Kansas and all public colleges.
"My personal feeling," he said, "is that government's first priority is education. That corresponds with the best interests of the district."
WINTER SAID that he had not been in on the budgetary process but that he supported the full 10 percent faculty投入, which led to the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
He said he would work to get funding for all areas of the University, including student assistance, to "continue high quality programs."
The 44th District seat now is held by State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, a Democrat, who was chosen by Democrats to replace him after he resigned in December, 1979.

The district's boundaries were shifted by a major reaportionment this year.
Charlton cannot run for re-election for the seat because she lives in the 43rd District, Winter said.

about my running." Winter said. "I think he thinks it's OK."
BEING THE SON of a representative had no effect on his decision to run, Winter said.
"I talked to my father, among others,
He said he chose to run because he had a strong vision of government" and a feeling that people who thought they could contribute to society would have an institution to get involved.
"I have a desire to find out what people want and what their concerns are. I also have the experience and know-how to work with them to accomplish those things." Winter said.
CONCERNING controversial issues in this year's session, Winter said that he was opposed to the death penalty and the torture used against him. He favored a "sending limit of some kind."
He said he opposed any spending lids constitutional amendment. Any lid needs safety mechanisms to ensure that lands are not trapped under the binds, he said.
Winter said his campaign for the August 5 primary would be built largely on door-to-door canvassing of his district, possibly by using aerials as well as mailings and media coverage.
Efficiency key to firehouse plans
By RENE BELL Staff Reporter
A computer study on Lawrence fire protection has given the city ideas for a new firehouse that would improve fire efficiency and have half the cost of a conventional firehouse.
The Lawrence City Commission Tuesday gave the Lawrence Fire Department permission to go ahead with a plan to build a station at 21st and Lawrence streets.
According to Lawrence Fire Chief Jim McBain, the group developed a system that determine the best way for the fire department to meet the city's firefighting needs.
UNDER THIS SYSTEM every area in Lawrence was placed in one of five zones, according to the potential amount of life and damage that would occur. The highest priority, contained such places as
The plans are a result of the recommendations by Public Technology Incorporated, which began its 18-month study in September 1978.

hospitals, residence halls and shopping centers. The lowest priority was the rural fire zone.
In deciding which combination of fire stations best covered all of the zones, a target time was developed for each zone. A target time was developed for zones for one to six局时 for five zone.
These times were based on seven factors in each area: danger to life, value of property, construction type, built-in facilities, department facilities and public expectation.
USING THIS material and 192 points chosen through the city, PIT ran 19 combinations of possible fire station locations through a computer.
The outcome was a recommendation for a new fire station at 23rd and Lawrence streets.
According to the PTI's report, this would create a 15 percent increase in the fire department's effectiveness.
With the new station, the percentage chance of the fire department responding to a call in one zone area in the target time of 29.7 percent or above decreased from 29.7 percent to 42.2 percent.
Any fire within the Lawrence city limits
could be reached by a four-person crew within five minutes, McSwain said.
THE LOCATION OF the firehouse would also resolve a problem which surfaced in early 1978. In March and April of that year, firefighters from Flickers' Local 1586 issued statements saying that the southwest part of town was unprotected. They accused the city of negligence, saying that someone would have been in a fire before a new station would be built.
Another recommendation made by PTI which the city is adapting to its purposes is that of a home-style firehouse. The PTI is a firehouse, a house and convert it into a fireplace.
McSwain said it was more feasible for the city to build a house in the area than to find someone to sell one.
A house fire station would cost much less than a conventional one. Lawrence's two newest fire stations cost $250,000 each 14 months. The company only builds $125,000 for the construction of a house.
THE
FURTHERMORE, it would better fit the neighborhood and would be usable as a home if the station had to be relocated.
