Commission Approves Statement Against Shift in Mud Creek Plan
BY BOB MARCOTTE
Kansan Staff Reporter
A statement to be sent to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers protesting a recent change of plans for development of flood protection along Mud Creek was approved unanimously by the Lawrence City Commission last night.
The statement is in the form of a joint city, county and drainage district letter to be signed by Mayor Nancy Hambleton; Walter Cragan, chairman of the Douglas County Commission; and George Pauer; Douglas County Co. Kraw Valley Drainage District.
The Corps recently announced that it was abandoning its original plan to channelize (straighten and ditch) a section of Mud Creek extending about five miles north of
the Kansas Turnpike. The Corps said that it would use an alternate plan that would save the federal government about $2.18 million but would involve an additional cost to the city and the drainage district of about $265,000.
The alternate plan, Hambleton said, "is not something that we can live with."
The city and the drainage district already have completed the purchase of land needed for the original plan, she said. "We're going to do it because we say these purchases are not necessary."
The alternate plan, she said, would require additional prime farmland and would upset the protection of other farmland.
Commissioner Jack Rose noted that the original plan was the idea of the Corps and
that the local authorities had fulfilled their part of the plan.
"The Corps has put us in a very bad position," he said.
The joint statement says, "This community has always placed a high premium on the matter of honoring commitments and contractual agreements and it would seem a poke example for the Corps of Engineers to take." The rules relative to this worthwhile project.
"There is no doubt that if the contractual relationship existed between individuals or private corporations an action for specific damages would be required, and damages would bring quick results."
Price Survey Accents Family-Style Dinners
The Lawrence Consumer Protection Agency has restructured its weekly food price survey this semester. The new survey will emphasize items needed for family-style dinners rather than individual foods and snacks. Store brands will be included on
CPA volunteers survey 62 items weekly in
nine Lawrence supermarkets. Only a partial list is published to prevent stores from systematically lowering prices of surveyed items.
The letter notes that the original plan calling for the channelization of mud Creek from its mouth to the upper limit of a levee was established in 1957 and from its entrance into the Kansas River had received the approval of the water resource board of the State Board of Water in 1966.
Several beef items will be surveyed each week because of recent predictions for record high beef prices in the next few months.
According to the letter, an environmental impact study of the alternate plan prepared by the Kansas City District of the Corps had reported that the alternate plan, which would require more natural state, would leave 480 acres of land between the clover and a keeper under the
The city of Lawrence and the drainage district already had spent $1.5 million for land purchase on the project when the city called it a canal, and plan for reconsideration, the letter says.

NATIONAL BALLET HERE TONIGHT
FREE to Students
This Wednesday evening, February 6, at 8:00 p.m., the highly-acclaimed National Ballet of Washington, D.C., will present "Coppelia," at Hoch Auditorium as the Concert Series' fifth program of the season. The dancers, under the artistic direction of Fredrick Franklin and Ben Stevenson, are some of the best trained in America. Six were prize winners at the International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria in 1972—the only contingent of Americans ever to be so honored. Clive Barnes of The New York Times says "it is almost certainly the best classical ballet company in North America outside of New York . . . The National Ballet is a national treasure."
"Coppelia" is a colorful story of a doll that comes to life. The appeal of the program will be further enhanced by the National Ballet's own fine orchestra.
The National Ballet has been exceptionally well-received throughout the country as they always perform to sellout crowds. The opportunity to enjoy such a production is indeed rare, and as the Wednesday performance is certain to fill Hoch Auditorium, it is advisable for KU students to either obtain their free reserve tickets, with ID, at Murphy Hall Box Office or, if those become unavailable, to arrive sufficiently early to gain free admission at Hoch Auditorium the night of the performance.
