400-Acre Riverside Park Planned
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced plans for a 400-acre, city-owned park on the banks of the Kansas River west of Massachusetts Street in Lawrence.
While the Corps' activities in the Clinton area continued during spring break to generate protest from residents and landowners dissatisfied with road provisions during construction, things on the northern front in Lawrence appeared considerably brighter.
Work on the riverside park will not begin until 1974, and the Corps will not prepare park plans for the area east of the main existing bridge until the Mud Creek flood project is completed and the eastern or bypass bridge location is determined.
Local environmentalists have criticized the Army Engineers for what has been called "superficial" treatment of the alternative Mud Creek Plan proposed by Robert Nunley, professor of geography at the University of Kansas.
Rep. Larry Winn Jr., R-Kan, announced March 21 that he had written the district engineer of the Corps "to secure the proponents of the Nunley proposal specific information about Corp objections to this alternative."
Wayne Bly, director of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, discounted Monday any connection between Winn's letter about Mud Creek and the new park planning. Bly met with meeting that led three weeks later, having been scheduled more than three weeks ago.
The park on the banks of the Kaw River is projected to preserve the natural environment and to include biking trails, hiking trails and minimal additional recreational facilities. It will be financed directly by the city and the federal government.

New Course to Tell Of Women and Law
"Women and the Law," $^1$ course designed to inform people of the status of women in various areas of the law, will begin at 7:30 tonight in the Pine Room of the Kansas
Students constitute about one third of the total enrollment of 76 in Lawrence. David Culp, program developer and assistant professor of law at the University of Kansas, said that many working women and some non-lawyers also are enrolled in the course.
Culp said that another section of the course being taught in Shawnee Mission had a lesser percentage of students in its enrollment of 65 and more young working women. Culp said that age and occupation vary greatly in both sections, however.
The particular problems of women are emerging as an area of law about which few persons are informed, Culp said. He said that a number of women needed to know more about the area.
The course will cover laws concerning women as consumers, focusing on problems with mortgages and credit; divorce, child support, custody and alimony, as well as what the courts have done with this area in the past and what they need to do; women's property rights, the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 2006 Equal Rights Amendment, Rights Amendment. Sex roles in the home, the business world and the military also will be discussed.
Each class will begin with an attorney describing the present state of the law in a particular area. A second resource person, usually a woman, will comment on the practical issues and problems involved in the presentation period will close each two-hour session.

DIEGEREA TALKED about measures he thought should be taken to correct the inefficiency he saw in the Transportation Committee.
At KU, Wooldridge was working toward a journalism degree in public relations. He had recently joined the Kansas as a reporter.
Gus DiZerega, Wichita graduate student, speaking for the last time as a senate member, warned the new senators of problems that would confront them.
"The committee must have more pressure exerted upon them to do their job," he said. "At least information about bus service should be provided to students who are paying thousands of dollars for the service."
Di Zerega also said that Black Tech and Black Law Students were organizations that discriminated in membership practices. The Black Student Union was also mentioned as a possible offender of the senate by giving bids allocations to clubs that discriminate.
DIZerega also suggested that the new senate correct the funding procedures.
"Capricious funding without auditing may end in political action that would result in the loss of the senate's right to deal with the activity fee." Di Zerega said.
The senate also commended Dave Dillon, past student body president and Hutchinson senior, and Molyff Lafaye, assistant to the senate, for his service to the senate and Kansas University.

'Sesame Street' Called Economical
"Sesame Street," a television program for 4-year-olds, is a success according to a Nixonian concept of economics, Thomas D. Cook said Monday at a psychology colloquium in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
"In studying the efficiency of the program, you need to look at the Nixonian concept of what do get for my dollar," said Dr. Roberts, who is familiar with psychology at Northwestern University.
Cook said it cost $1.29 per year for each child reached by "Sesame Street." In comparison, Headstart, a community program with similar objectives costs $450 per child to reach the same goal, said. "Sesame Street" is one of the most efficient programs of its kind, he said.
In each site the study set up a control group and a test group.
"Sesame Street" specializes in prereading skill it teaches youngsters to read. The show uses the same characters.
Cook has taken part in a nation-wide study of the objectives and achievements of "Sesame Street." The study took place in New York and involved with different socio-economic backgrounds.
Services for Roger N. Wooldridge, 20,
Kingman junior, will be at 2 p.m.
Wednesday in Kingman United Methodist
School, will be in Hoosier Cemetery
keralian.
Wooldridge was killed early Sunday when the auto he was driving left the road and rolled several times before crashing into a field about 15 miles north of Norfolk, Neb. Steven Dahl, 26, of 2409 hospitalside Drive, died from an accident at a Norfolk hospital with cuts and bruises.
Cook said that "Sesame Street" was conceived in the '60s in association with the national concept of the "The Great Society."
Dahl, the owner of the vehicle, and Wooldridge were returning to Lawrence from a business trip to South Dakota, an acquaintance of Wooldridge said Monday.
He said it was apparent that there was a discrepancy in preschool education between economically advantaged and disadvantaged groups.
Born in Wichita, Wooldridge was reared in Kingman and graduated from Kingman High School in 1970. The only survivors are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Norris Wooldridge, who live on Rural Route 1, Kingman.
"The absolute difference in learning between social groups became wider and more complex as the age of the learner increased."
Wooldridge and Dahl operated the Great Plains Association, an entertainment booking agency. Wooldridge also lived at 2409 Morningside Drive.
Arrangements worked out on Friday, March 23, by delegates to the symposium chemistry faculty contact between KU students before the students arrive in Lawrence. KU students and faculty members will then assist the new arrivals in course enrollments, living arrangements and social contacts during their first semester.
The symposium also included discussions on the roles of junior colleges and universities in future higher education in Kansas, and on articulating the role of institutions and on articulation of chemistry courses.
Twenty delegates from 13 Kansas community colleges and 24 chemistry department
Chemistry Students Transferring to KU To Get More Help
Cook, also the director of social psychology at Northwestern University did his undergraduate work at Oxford University. He then spent two years at the Free University of Berlin. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1967.
Chemistry students transferring from Kansas community colleges to the University of Kansas should find the transition a bit smoother next fall as a result of programs developed in a symposium on undergraduate Chemistry education conducted on March 23-24 in Malott Hall.
1" have already had three community college students come to my office for information.
The survey also revealed that many community college students were accustomed to part-time employment, which was more difficult to maintain at KU.
It was discovered through test groups that if the amount of viewing was regulated, different groups could learn at different rates. in a controlled situation, the ultimate goal of narrowing the academic achievement gap could be obtained, Cook said.
In the test group, the parents and children were encouraged to watch the program. Promotional devices such as buttons and balloons were left in homes as reminders.
The control stopped watching the program.
J. K. Lee, associate chairman of the KU Chemistry department, said the symposium was a welcome addition.
It was learned from the study that if children view the program they do learn. The objective of raising the test performance of all children is being obtained.
