Abundant Rainfall in County
(Continued from page 1)
KOHL. ADDED that the rain did create problems as far as getting to and from the lake.
"We're at the stage where we need to get that heavy equipment up to the building. But the mud's making it tough, and we're not sure if equipment stuck up in their frames."
But the recent weather hasn't been as costly to KU construction as the winter, said Keith Lawton, director of Facilities Planning and Operations.
“It’s not as damaging as the weather from August to January,” said Lawton. “That really damaged us because the stage of construction was as far along.”
Lawton said the completion dates for both the health center and Wesco Hall were still tentative but said that he expected Wesco to be completed during the coming fall semester and the health center by next January.
STREETS POCKMARKED by chuckleholes and crisscrossed with unplanned trenches are perhaps a more familiar problem caused by the rain. A spokesman for the Douglas County maintenance unit has admitted that the local roads were "terrible."
News Briefs By the Associated Press Stennis Attack
WASHINGTON-Three Washington men were arrested Monday in connection with the shooting and robbery of Sen. John Stennis, the FBI announced.
The three will be charged with robbery, committing a crime while armed and attacking a member of congress, (officials said).
Stennis, 71, and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was wounded twice during a holup in front of his Northwest Washington home on Jan. 30.
Agent Released
John T. Downey, freed Sunday after 21 years as a prisoner of China, arrived in Connecticut Monday night to be with the Chinese agent, who was captured in 1952 when his plane was shot down by the Chinese during the Korean War. U.S. officials said the Communist Chinese released him in response to the killing of two American presidential advisor Henry A. Kissinger.
'Deep Throat'
WICHTA-The U.S. attorney for Kansas, Robert Roth, Monday asked FH agents to begin an investigation of how the movie determined whether a federal violation was involved in the shipment. Roth said showing the film was not a federal violation. He said, "Whatever might be deemed to be obese or pornographic is not in violation unless it proved it was shipped or mailed or transported into the state by common carrier."
Murder Querv
HAMILTON, Bermuda—The government tightened emergency conditions Monday, and Scotland Yard began a probe into the killing of an officer. An announcement in Parliament by Sir Edward Richards, the government leader, said police had been empowered to hold anyone without charge for 96 hours as they carried out their hunt for the killer or suspect in Sharpie and Capit. Hugh Sayers, his alder-case, late Saturday night.
GM Asks Delay
WASHINGTON-General Motors said Monday it would be unable to meet the proposed antipollution requirements for 1975 autos and urged a one-year delay in enforcement of the exhaust standards. In response, the automakers required before 1975 as they now exist," said Ernest Starkman, GM's vice president for environmental affairs.
Olympic Killings
MUNICH- The lives of four Israeli hostages, seized by Palestinian commanders during the Munich Olympics, might have been saved if a police rescue squad had been informed that it faced eight instead of five Arab terrorists, an official inquest is reported to have found. The West German news magazine Der Spiegel reported Monday that the Munich district attorney's report disclosed this possibility in a 59-page report setting forth its decision on investigation into allegations of negligent homicide against Police Chief Manfred Schreiber of Munich and his deputy George Wolf.

"Chuckles, manhooks, you name them, we've not them," he said.
The great amount of moisture, he said, combined with the freezing and thawing trends have resulted in the "worst winter vet" for roads.
"The water seeps down in a crack, then freezes. When it thaws, the concrete is loosened and when cars hit it, it gets torn up." he said.

The spokesman added that complaints to his department were rampant but that there was little the department could do in this weather.
"WE PATCH A FEMEN in April, but nothing big," he said. "Amy May before you can consider doing any major repair jobs. You have to plan it by ear till then."
Another common problem with the increase of bad weather is a corresponding increase in traffic accidents. In the first twelve days of March, 70 traffic mishaps have already occurred; 38 were at least partially the result of weather conditions. This number is well ahead of last March's pace, in which 115 accidents occurred.
Despite the poor conditions of the streets, Lawrence Police Sgt. Miguel Garcia said, most of the accidents were due to errors in driving.
Deliverance Coalition
"Anytime it rains or snows, there's going to be an increase in accidents," Garcia said. "People are used to driving in normal weather and they just fail to adjust."
IF THE RESULTS of the recent imnation are many, then the explanations are fine.
"The rain usually should begin in the latter part of the month or around the first of April," said Ted Stimach, KU weather observer for the National Weather Service. "Every 22 years there's supposed to be more rain correspond with the sunspots cycle. Maybe this is the 22nd year. I don't know."
Does the early rain mean an early spring?

"Where is the vocal minority that we have heard from lately?" he asked.
One person took issue with him at that point, saying that she thought the criticism
that was leaved at the department would be helpful in the long run. She said that the critics had thought out their points and were confident in the assessment of what they saw as a problem.
Nancy Hambleton, a Lawrence city commissioner, said she thought the critics were not the "trouble-maker and complainant" of her comments on "good things will come out of all this."
Connally to Speak to Chamber
John B. Connally, former secretary of the treasury and former three-term governor of Texas, is expected to speak at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce annual banquet Marcus B. McClure, who said, "hot!" He will be to Odd Williams, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce president.
The Chamber banquet will be at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
"Connally has complete control and flexibility in choosing the topic of his speech," Williams said. "We didn't request any specific topic because we didn't want to tie him down and get John Connally's Speech No. 1 from his file cabinet.
Williams said Dick Maggart of Agency Records Control in Lawrence and Jim Whalley, president of KANEZ Services, called the group's making possible Compulsiv's appearance.
"Anything this man says is news, and I'm sure the people of Lawrence will be glad to have such a well-known figure at their banquet."
"Connally, who launched the "Democrats for Nixon," campaign in 1972, is said to be on
the verge of switching to the Republican in 1976, mentioned as a 1976 Republican president.
