Former Jayhawk to coach; Jo Jo replaces Norwood
By CHRIS TODD Staff Reporter
KU basketball coach Ted Owens announced yesterday that former Jayhawk All-American Jo Jo White of the coaching staff next season.
White, who recently retired from pro-basketball, will replace Lafayette Norwood as assistant coach.
"We're very happy to have Jo Jo on our staff," Owens said. "He shares the same deep feeling for Kansas basketball that I do. I know he's a good basketball player, and the basketball will be of great benefit to the young men on our squad."
DURING HIS CAREER at the University of Kansas White was named All-American twice and All-State twice. In junior year White played point guard on the 1986 Olympic team that won the gold medal in Mexico City.
White joined the Jayhawks in 1968 in the middle of his sophomore year and led the Jayhawks to the Big Eight championship and the Midwest Regional finals of the NCAA tourney.
The following year the Jayhawks captured the Big Eight crown and a berth in the National Invitational Tournament.
White said that he expected to use his basketball knowledge and experience in his coaching duties and that he was glad to be back at KU.
"I really haven't had time to meet with Coach Owens, so I don't know exactly what I'll be doing." White said.
AFTER HIS COLLEGE career White was drafted by the Boston Celtics. He spent nine years with the team, and then them to two world championships.
During his twelve-year career in the NBA, White was named to the all-pro first team seven times and the all-pro second team twice.

After being deluged with residents' complaints that federal floodplain districts were inaccurate, the Lawrence City Commission voted unanimously Tuesday night to defer the rezoning of two flood-prone areas.
The rezoning, recommended by the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, would have affected the Naismith area south of 23rd Street between Ousdahl Road and Arkansas Street, and the tinker road. The Kasilward Road to 26th Street east of Kasold Drive, a total of 25 acres.
Ernest Angino, KU professor of geology, concurred. "You can tell very definitely that there will be more if you build on the floodplain," he said.
The proposed rezoning of the floodplain would change the flood zone to residential and multi-family zones.
BOTH THE NAISMITH Valley and Yankee Tank Creek area residents said that further development in the park would provide more flooding and drainage problems.

complained that flooding had occurred more frequently than a Federal Insurance Administration study predicted.
William H. Douglas, KU associate professor of civil engineering, said, "If the FIA report has delineated a 500 year flood and it recurs once every one or two years, then it is not a 500 year flood."
Commissioner Barkley Clark said that Tuesday's deferral did not mean that development would never be allowed in the two areas.
City Manager Buford Watson said that the Burns and McDonell consult firm would not have the results of the study for several months.
The city commissioners had already deferred separate requests for reasoning the two flood-prone areas, pending the study of the city's drainage problems.
A $10 YEAR flood is one which has one-fifth of one percent chance of occurring in any given year.
Marshal Crowter, representing the Indian Hills Neighborhood Association, said, "Three times in the last month I saw a woman who was backyard to a death of two feet."

Ed Collister, an attorney representing Ed Naismith landowner, said that the city commissioners had delayed rezoning for 13 years.
THE COMMISSIONERS said they wanted adequate safeguards such as erosion control, grading, and stream sedimentation in any rezoning plan.
"If the city doesn't want this flood-prone land used at all, they should buy it." he said.
"I don't consider a no vote on this a

permanent denial of rezoning," Clark said.
Residents of the Naismith area agreed.
Mayor Marci Francisco agreed with Clark.
Francisco said the city's development policy for flood-prone areas will be overseen by a director Garner Stoll said his office was working on a pamphlet for developers.
WATSON SAID THAT an existing city ordinance requires a landlord or a developer to tell a prospective tenant that an area is flood-prone.
Many residents felt that development in either area should not be allowed

unless the potential for harm had been considered.
Commissioner Tom Gleason agreed that the commission would have to study any development carefully.
Police said the thief or thieves entered the unlocked car and drove away. The keys were left in the vehicle.
Lawrence police said yesterday that a vehicle was stolen Tuesday from a parking stall at 2525 Iowa St.
However, Collister said that the city can never ensure that there will not be flooding.
"You want a guarantee?" he asked.
"You can't get one."
THE STOLEN VEHICLE was a 1967 olive-green Ford, with side panels and dents in the front, police said. The car was valued at $300.
"The problem is that we won't know whether it causes further flooding until after it occurs." Gleason said.
Four hubs were stolen from a 1979 Ford Thunderbird at 730 Iowa St. on Tuesday, police said.

Police have no suspects.

Safety Hints from your gas company.
If you detect an odor you think may be natural gas—
(1) Open windows and doors to dilute the air to a safe level.
(2) Call for aid or advice from the gas company or fire department.
(3) If the oidor appears to be very strong, leave the house or building immediately. Go to a telephone and notify the gas company — do not turn on any electrical appliances, including light switches.
(4) When the problem is solved, have a qualified person from the gas company, plumbing or climate control firms relight appliances.
(3) In the event a leak is detected anywhere outside of a building notify the gas company immediately and describe the location and approximate level of the odor—a quick check of the area will be made to determine the problem and corrective action needed.
If you have any questions please contact our office.
