Clinton Coalition Hears Concerns
By DIANE YEAMANS Kansan Staff Writer
A variety of concerns were voiced Wednesday night by about 80 concerned citizens at the Citizens Coalition for Clinton Lakes and the Downtown held at the Douglas Fair Grounds.
Although the represented interest groups said they wanted everyone to be able to enjoy Clinton Reservoir, each group had a special concern it wanted taken into consideration by the Corps of Engineers in planning the reservoir.
Representatives of Clinton residents and landowners around the lake were first concerned about the road network and their accessibility to the Lawrence area.
There is only one road leading to Clinton. The residents there feared the road would be closed during the construction of a new highway, making it difficult for them to reach Lawrence.
Ed Dischner, regional recreational director of the Corps of Engineers, said it was not the practice of the corps to cut off the only access road residents had. However, he said he did not know the plans and would probably find a possibility that the road might be closed.
THE SECOND ROAD to the reservoir,
which must be constructed, was also of a
type not previously known.
Walter Cragen, county commissioner, said no financial source for the road has been found yet. The problem is now before the state government, he said. The funds should come from the federal government, he said, although he did not know if they would be available to solve the problems in financing their percentage. He said the county could only afford about 20 per cent of the costs, although they may have to pay up to 50 per cent.
The motorcycle paths, which have been proposed for behind the dam, were also of concern to the area residents. They were concerned about the noise and traffic
problems involved.
Representatives of Hare and Hare, Kansas City, Mo., landscape architects contracted by the Corp of Engineers to draw the basic plans, assured the residents that there was enough space between the motorcycle paths and their homes to eliminate the noise. Buffers of trees and shrubs would also help the situation, they
THE LAND in the proposed area for the motorcycle paths is flat and many citizens at the meeting said it was not appropriate for the tough cycling desired. They
suggested the motorcycle paths be moved to the west end of the lake where there would be no homes or schools to interfere with the cycler's fun.
Again, the Sierra Club expressed their interest in having more primitive camping and hiking areas. An integrated set of trails encompassing the area around the lake and allowing for a three or four day hike is their goal, they said.
However, other citizens expressed disfavor of the primitive camping grounds saying they preferred campsites suitable for mobile campers.
Voter Drive Urged By Relations Board
By C. C. CALDWELL Kansan Staff Writer
University of Kansas students may be offered new avenues to interest members of lower income groups in voter registration and voting, if proposals made Wednesday night by the Lawrence Human Relations Commission (HRC), come to fruition.
Ray Sanuel, executive director of the Office of Human Resources in Lawrence, proposed that the commission consider the possibility of cosponsoring a voter education program with a group such as the League of Women Voters to teach much more of the necessary groundwork
Sarneli could be had spoken to students on the campus who would be willing to assist in his study.
HRC member John Purcell further
member that KU and Haskell students
will benefit from the new
program.
Throughout their regular monthly meeting, the members expressed consistent
interest in furthering HRC ties with Haskell. Tom Beaver, HCR member, and Carl Johnson, assistant director in Samuel's office, said that Haskell students they had talked with wanted the commission to continue working on Haskell's behalf.
The commission has asked Haskell to select a representative to the HRC, but as yet has received no word about Haskell's design.
"I think it is fairly obvious that in the past Haskell students) weren't welcome in the present."
In other discussion connected with voting and the current elections, Beaver suggested that the commission invite all candidates in the upcoming April election to answer commission members' questions on various minority group issues.
Partner Selection Method Of Rock Chalk Modified
The HRC members agreed with the proposal and Claude Norris, HRC chairman, said that he would try to arrange separate meetings with the city commission candidates and those for the local school boards.
The Inter-Fraternity Council voted Wednesday night to change the selection process for the fraternity.
Instead of the fraternities informally asking sororites to participate with them in their Rock Chalk entry, they will now have to submit an interest statement and preference list, according to Evan Olson, Salina junior and vice president of the college chapter, with sorority preference lists to determine the partners, Olson said.
The Panhellenic Council will be consulted on the program before it is initiated, Olson
This proposal, initiated jointly by the council and Pamillenki, sets up these university units.
- From these statements, preference lists are submitted on a given bidding date;
A statement of interest may be submitted by any living group;
3 Polling Sites Set for Students
Ploling places for spring student elections at the University of Kansas will be established in the Kansas Union, Strong Hall and Summerfield Hall.
The Union poll will be on the north side of the main lobby. The Strong poll will be located in the first floor foyer and in the second floor lobby. The Business office near the School of Business offices.
The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 14 and 15. Special evening polling places will be established for the polls, their locations have not been determined.
To vote a student must have a KU ID and a valid spring registration. Each voter will receive a senate ballot for his school and an aunt's ballot. The ballots must be marked in nencl.
Sterling Hall, Sublette sophomore and elections committee chairman, said the committee was seeking volunteers to help with the polls. The committee was at one of the polls should contact Hall.
-Only presidents of the living groups can make any commitments:
—Each group may list three groups that it wants to be matched with.
Judy Long, Panhellenic rush chairman, said this step was necessary because of the prank calls received this year which caused confusion between sorites and fraternities trying to commit themselves to partners for next year's Rock Chalk.
The commission also received and discussed Samuel's report on the National League of Cities and the U.S. Conference of Mavors.
Samuel said there was "no way" that revenue sharing funds could satisfy existing problems and that the HRC and his office have had to deal with the billabilities which have been borne by OEO.
In other actions, the commission:
—Received a report on the Summer Teenage Employment Program, which stated that this year's program will place more teenagers in more youth coordination than in the past.
—Introduced Linda Ramirez, Lawrence High School's new HRC representative.

She's the kind of young girl that feels lonely. Feels left out. Feels the whole world is a hostile place.
The SISTERS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD who are relentlessly committed and professional are dedicated themselves to guiding adolescent girls who face a variety of social, emotional, and physical challenges.

As psychologists, child care and social workers, teachers, nurses, recreation leaders, and in other fields, the sisters strive through love, understanding, and to Christ to help these girls find themselves and God again. Do you have a daughter in others? Would you like more information on our apostate caries?
