Lawrence Minimum Housing Code Applied to 44 Houses This Month
By CHATHY SHERMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
The Lawrence Building Inspection Department is inspecting 44 houses this month in an area directly east of the University of Kansas to determine where the buildings compete with the city's minimum density. Ed Wilson, city attorney, said Monday.
The 44 houses are part of an original 77 in an area between Louisiana, Kentucky, 10th and 14th streets selected more than a year ago for inspection by the city. Wilson said. This inspection is the city's third inspection of the houses.
Wilson said that during the past week he had inspected seven of the houses, but only one of the landlords had made the necessary repairs to comply with the minimum
He said several other landlords he had contacted this week for inspection appointments had indicated that the required work had not been completed.
THE INSPECTION of the 44 houses has been completed by the end of the month, but no repairs have been made.
Rep. Michael Glover, D-Lawrence, will speak to the College Young Democrats tonight at 7:30 in the Pine Room at the University of Chicago Law School's Veteran's Bill and the National Guard Bill.

Brazilian Film
A Brazilian film, "Land in Anguish," will be shown tonight at 7:30 in Dyche Auditorium. The film is the third in a series sponsored by the Center of Latin American Studies. It is in Protuguese with English subtitles. Blauer Rocha, a leader in Brazil "Cinema Novo," directed the film. Admission is free.
Wilson would not release the names of the landlords.
City officials will meet personally with those landlords who still have not complied with minimum housing requirements upon third inspection to determine whether they had any intention to make repairs City Manager Buford Watson said Monday.
Watson said the city preferred not to serve notice to vacate the property to landlords who refused to make the necessary repairs, although, he said, this was a basic way the city could enforce compliance with the housing code.
"We would rather work with the landlords at the least inconvenience to the tenants."
Some of the minimum standard standards required by the code, Watson said, were that dwellings must have vented stoves, hot and cold water, screened windows, a minimum ceiling height, adequate toilet facilities, and adequate trash and garbage receptacles. Electrical wiring must be in proper order, he said, and baggages must be stored properly. Exterior of buildings must also be in good repair, he said.
The first inspection of the area began in January 1973, according to Gary Montague, Chief of Building Inspection, who was then in charge of the inspection.
Montague said the area was first brought to his attention by the findings of a University team of the Institute of Social Environmental Studies (ISIS).
There are 182 dwellings in the area. Montague said.
The first inspection made by Montague was a "windshield" survey from which he made a list of 77 houses. City inspectors then personally inspected these houses.
This inspection narrowed the number of buildings that needed repairs down to about 60. Montague said, Letters were then sent to the county sheriff and he made to repair within about 60 days.
A FOLLOW UP inspection began in September, Watson said and another letter was sent to landlords in December. In this second inspection, the landlords of 4 dwellings had either not completed or not begun repairs to comply with the code.
The general inspection was the first the city has undertaken, Watson said. In the past the city has usually just inspected vacant and abandoned buildings or made inspections when persons registered complaints.
He said that in the near future the city planned to make general inspections of other areas but had not yet selected the areas.
Women's Convention Urges Political Gains
Achieving political power for women was the major goal of the first convention of the National Women's Political Caucus last fall. It was a demonstration by the Lawrence, representative said Monday.
Robinson, of 1230 Mississippi St., was one of more than 1,500 women who attended the convention from every state in the district, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Robinson said the convention had reached agreement on three major points:
- Politics means women. Women must get away from what Shirley Calison called the 'bake-me mentality' and start launching campaigns for women candidates.
—Women have to rely on grass roots organization. Power should flow through the local organizations up to the national level and not the other wav around.
The National Women's Political Caucus should be an umbrella organization enveloping all of the various feminist movements. The Caucus should cut across all political and philosophical divisions and provide a focal point for the feminist movement.
Carpenter, former member of the Johnson administration, Rep. Shirley Chisolm D.N.Y.; Bella Abbrig representantative of the writers Bettie Friedan and Gloria Steinem.
Speakers at the convention included Liz
The National Women's Political Caucus was formed in July 1971 to organize the political power of women. The organization is a coalition of women from various backgrounds, economic levels and political affiliations Robinson said.
"The goals of feminism are not just women's goals, they're humanist goals," Robinson said. Every issue is a women's issue. We didn't just talk about abortion and the need for housing, education, poverty and all the other issues that concern the country."
The convention included subcaucuses to consider topics of Blacks, Chicanos, Republicans, Democrats, labor unions and the right to sexual privacy and workshops on the different ways women can exert political power.
Robinson said she didn't expect to see any radical changes in the near future.
Officers Burdened . . .

Clinton Meeting

This coalition of groups and individuals is expected to work together to examine the problems and opportunities inherent in the lake and to create needed organizations and individuals interested in the development of Clinto Lake are welcome.

learn: not only do you learn to organize your time, but you learn to compromise."
But, she added, "It's too bad you have to compromise."
The only way to avoid compromise is to reduce the workload of the executive-officer. The problem is that the executive-officer
Allen says other improvements in the workload must be made. Other Big Eight schools restrict the number of classroom hours their student executive officers may carry while in office, she says. She recommends that KU adopt a similar position or perhaps increase the opportunity for independent studies.
"I do not think that the vice president should be chairman of the Reclamation Center because it's a full-time job," she says. "It's cut down my effectiveness in other projects because I've had to put in so much time for these projects, it's unnecessary job for the vice president."
"If you sit on a committee on which you're one of two students, and you have a class at that time, I wonder where your responsibility is," she says. "A faculty would say we, it's in my class." A student would say, We'd better not lose that vote."
A strong conflict often confronts the officers, Allen says, in the form of a committee meeting and a class that meets at the same time.
The end of her term of office is now only a few weeks away and Kathy Allen says she is unhappy that the load made the compromises necessary so often.
Correction
it was incorrectly stated in Monday's Kansan that advertising for student body president and vice president candidates would cost $55. The correct amount is $550.
We start with a quarter-pound of 100% pure beef . . . cook it up [just right] . . . serve it with bacon and on toasties we种子 seed bun. The Quarter-Pounder Cheese comes with all of the above plus two slices of melon, golden cheese.
After you have tried them, we know you will agree. They're a great McDonald's menu addition.
