Radar Control Used by Police Throughout City
Next time you hurry to an appointment, you might consider slowing down. Rudar is
Radar control is used by the Lawrence Police Department in order to verify the issuance of tickets, according to Sgt. Mugel Garcia, director of the Traffic Bureau.

Garcia and the patrolmen had three radar units that were used throughout the city.
"We go by the accident reports," he said.
"We check out all the previous speeding violations and requests from residents and base our patrols from these reports."
He said the police concentrated the radar units in school areas because there was a crash.
Garcia said all units were accurate and checked regularly.
"All the control units must be checked before they are put into use," he said. "We have a machine that tests for inaccuracies, and you can see how well that show that any discrepancy on the unit."

Garcia said warnings attached to tickets were probably issued at times by the police.
He said that there was no strict procedure for issuing warrants and that it was usually not the case.
Bridge Replacements Proposed
By LARRY GREWACH Kansan Staff Reporter
The hearing, held at the Lawrence Public Library, was sponsored by the Douglas Church.
The Douglas County Commissioners said last night at a public hearing that they wanted to submit a package proposal in a ballot election for replacement of 51 county bridges.
Commissioner I. J. Stoneback said a package proposal would be necessary for passage of the plan, which includes replacing the Kansas River Bridge at Massachusetts and Sixth streets in Lawrence.
"The voters in the county won't approve bonds for the city, and by the same token, city voters won't approve bonds solely for the county." he said.
Chairman Walter Cragan and Commissioner Art Heck also said they favored a new rule for the city.
Cragan said he thought the bond election would be in November. He said he thought it was too late for the bond issue to be placed on the August primary ballot.
He said that after a geological survey by the Topeka firm of Barnett & Stewart was completed, there would be a joint meeting of the Douglas county and Lawrence city meetings. The proposal to propose proposed Kansas River Bridge on Massachusetts Street. Cragan expected this
meeting to be held during the first two weeks in July.
Heck emphasized the need for the replacement of the county bridges, and in particular the need for a new Kansas River Bridge.
"The bridge is not totally unsafe but it is rapidly deteriorating," Heck said.
The original estimates from the Topena consulting firm were $6 million for the total bridge proposal, but the commissioners said they thought the final estimates would be higher. Heck said they might be as high as $9 million.
Craigan said he wasn't sure how long it would take to build the 51 bridges.

KU Women's Athletics Improving, Coach Says
By CLARK CASE
Kansan Staff Reporter
The women's athletic program at the University of Kansas is on the upwiring and there is nowhere for the program to go except up, Marian E. Washington, assistant director of intercollegiate athletics for women's sports, said yesterday.
The women's athletic movement has grown because of greater interest by women in developing their physical attributes, she said, and because women have been able to shake off the stigma that used to make outsiders of women's athletes.
The women's athletic program has also received excellent support from the University administration, the physical education department and the athletic department. Washington said. She said that support from the students had been steadily improved in recent years, and support was very important to the success of the women's athletic program.
"DON'T THINK WOMEN are interested in being a threat to men," she said. "I think that we are basically interested in having the opportunity to develop. In order to do this, of course, we have to have to the coaches and the necessary funding."
Washington said she did not think that men and women would ever compete against each other on a large scale, although competition might easily occur in some sports, such as bowling and volleyball.
The main problem the women's athletic program faces is that it reaches only a small group of athletes.
"The program is open. We want new participants," she said.
KU will have one of the largest budgets for women's athletics in the country, and KU will be one of the leaders in the area, Washington said. That is the reason why support from the students is so important, she said.
"I think that the program should provide adequately for the needs of our women," Washington said. "And when we say that, I think it will be a dollar for dollar for the men's program. I will be doing a lot of speaking to students, but the idea in essence is to let students know what the program is."
THE WOMEN'S SPORTS PROGRAM will provide opportunities for women to compete in field hockey, softball, swimmer, basketball, golf, gof, track and gymnastics.
Washington will coach women's basketball and track.
Clyde Walker, a athletic director, said there was a good possibility of presenting women's basketball games prior to the varsity basketball games next season when there are no junior varsity basketball games scheduled.
Walker also said he thought there was little possibility of a woman occupying the athletic director's job at KU as long as men's athletics remained dominant.
