Developer continues mall battle
By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter
If at first you don't succeed, invest more money.
Jacobs, Viscisoni and Jacobs is doing just that after the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission dealt a setback to JV's bid to rezone a south Lawrence lot for a shopping mall.
"We've got $300,000 invested in this." Don Jones, JV vice president for mail development, said. "We're targeting a 25 percent return."
Some of JVL's dollars are already paying indirect dividends and they want to present an enduring investment that's charging more money.
THE ENVELOPES contain coupons, clipped from a full-page JVJ advertisement published in the Feb. 22 Lawrence Journal-World. As of March 2, the planning office had received 450 coupons, many with letters and other comments attached; 376 supported, JVJ sponsored project.
However, the fruits of the Cleveland developer's efforts won't be known for at least two weeks. A March 18 City Commission hearing date set for VJJ's request is "still tentative" according to assistant city manager Mike Wilden.
Meanwhile, Richard Zinn, JVJ's Lawrence attorney, is preparing to argue his client's case before the commission. Two weeks earlier, despite an hour-long presentation by Zinn, Jones
KU 1982 budget request tied to Regents budget
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas won't be helped by the Senate Ways and Means Committee's relaxed attitude toward individual universities' assets, according to the committee chairman.
The chairman, Paul Hess, R-Wichita, said yesterday that KU's requests for a faculty pay raise, an increase in the operating budget and money to cover increased enrollment were tied to the board of Regents system-wide proposed Board committee cut those requests deeply last month.
HESS SCHEDULED committee hearings for
norrow and Friday to consider the individual
committees.
After committee action this week, the campuses' and Regents budgets will be sent to the board.
Since the individual request, as proposed by Gov. John Carlin, did not entail the large sum of money that the Regents proposal did, Hess said the committee probably would go easy on the cuts.
"I suspect that the subcommittee reports certainly will not be higher than the governors recommendation." Hess said. "But don't expect a rubber stamp of the governor's proposal."
Hess said all individual requests probably

When a bad case of sunburn makes the beach out of the question, Key West offers a variety of interesting and inexpensive tourist attractions. One place is the Hermann Beach lodge Ernest Hemingway, now inhabited by the 42 cats that the novelist provided for in his book *The Historic Turtle Kraals*, a small but fascinating mariana toze feature a 750 pound logger boat, which can be used as captivity—as well as sharks, Florida lobster, conch, sea turtles, and many other varieties of fish and marine life.
Night life in Old West Key ranges from classy discotheques like the Maestro to sleazy pool hall complete with favorites of the college crowd include Captain Tony's, Shoppy Joe's, Maynard and the Bull, all featuring live entertainment. Cover charges vary and the ball is $1, $2 or more for drunk drinks.

Another interesting place to visit is the Key West Cosmetic Factory, which manufactures and sells all natural skin care products made with aloe; a tropical plant known for its burn-healing properties. A warning those who are badly sunburned should not walk in direct sunlight or moment a sunburn victim walks in the door, he or she is assaulted by aggressive salespeople who insist on shattering aloe lotion all over the visitor's hand. The aloe lotion is sunburn, but all the attention made me feel like a heel for not buying any of their outrageously expensive products. A single bottle of aloe bubble bath
A terrific way to wind up any Florida vacation is to spend a day at Disney World in Orlando. A whole day of fun costs about $25 per person, and the most sophisticated student will have an opportunity to break up the long ride back to school.

COSTA RICA IS NOT NICARAGUA
BY MANFRED WOLF
Costa Rica may seem somewhat out of the way to student-planing their Easter or sum
her visitation but several new possibilities for traveling this little Central American country open up often from occasional charter flights to low weekly fares on LACAO, and other destinations. You should know a few things first.
2. Costa Rica is not Mexico. Americans often find to explain the discomforts associated with american travel or eating at the table of the above. Drink the water, eat the lutenze, and don't bother peeling the tomatoes on that score—and on others' it's a little like roaming the streets. The further pleasure is the unabashed enthusiasm for Americans that obtains in Costa Rica—macho means both blood and a blonde woman is *may macho* in Zacateca or Torreon or Tooraco!

Some tourists have been staying away in the mistaken belief that there's trouble in all of paradise, however the problem of it is not affect Costa Rica, which any prides own on being as different from Nicaragua as possible—democratic, peaceful, or怜 Homestay has something to do with Costa Rica's sadly non-violent history. It is truly descended from Spanish and more recent European settlers.

Young travelers warning to test the warmth of the Costa Rica should know that diecochete in and around San Jose welcome single men mainly on beach and area Baracoa (near the Playboy Club) were favorably mentioned by young Costa Ricans who also said that if they wanted to meet someone of the elite e.g., El Gran Parque in San Rafael or Los Mimosos in Caragua, it is a measure of the modern influence on Costa Rica that there's even a singles bar in Dolores, which is also strongly San Jose's only vegetarian restaurant.
lesser known excursions out of town are hereby strongly recommended: a bus ride to the old colonial capital of Mazatlan, where they can be visited, Heredia, or to the mountain village of Acosta. Centrally located San Jose will probably be headquarters despite reservation requirements for five dollars a day at the Pension Nizza, on the western end of the Paseo Colon, or on the pension Costa Rica near the Morazan Park, for a little time.
Most vacationers will inevitably be drawn to the spectacular tropical beachs. The Caribbean town of Liébana stands on high mountains and jungle, is very worthwhile but not for swimming. Go south from there to Cabatua for the beach where you can spend a short side of the country, a short bus ride from San Jose, is Puntarenas, which has a fine beach—though the more famous destination is Gran Canaria, Costa Rica's Wild West. This has become a favorite meeting place of the young. At all of these and many others, rent cabinas if luxury is desired. You will also enjoy the county's deserted beaches.

After offering several doser readings from his latest book, the *Wonderland* series, he crept an amazing series of questions from the audience: "Are you trying to make a statement?" "Have you ever actually done much trout fishing?" and so on. "Does your mother read your poetry?" A few of these stunned Braultan momentarily, but he endured them all with patience and surprising good humor.
What does a best-selling author do when he has a new book to promote? The usual answer, taking to interviews, interviews, and talk-show appearances, may be fine for Jake Kranz, but for a former cult hero like Richard Brutan, a promotion junker seems a good idea. He demands something more digitized.

This came into focus during a visit to the University of incineration and his used old travel innery (Tacoma, Washington to Eugene, by way of Meridian, Mississippi) to excuse the lapse.

The only anomaly on the scene was ontage—a 38-year old black jazz guitarist, James Bloodu. He was also wearing a burgundy, bulky earring. African garmb He stood nearly still to play, and out came a challenging music at once similar to what he had seen in some iron-patients respect—he
Umer first picked up a guitar at age three, because a professional musician at 17, then hit the road for a ten year career. He played in all kinds of bands, R&B, R&B and jazz outfits.
He eventually hooked up with saxophonist Ornette Coleman, whose composing and playing style (called 'tales') is so brilliant that influence—as is quite evident on Ulmer's new solo albums *Tales from captain Black* (which featured Coleman as player and coproducer)—has become his best holiday套装 on Summer Trade
At the Stone, Ulmer powered through an hour of music that was as distinctive and rewarding as it was striking. The guitarist played in jazz, but it branched determinately into fery shoots of rock, R&B and, particularly, funk. His charged-up synthesis of various musical forms does not seem to be limited to his most stuff people think of as "fusion."
Ulmer performed with only two sidemen, the brilliant rhythm section of bassist Amin Alin and Calvin Westen, a 19-year-old drumming prodigy. When a number demanded it, Alin and Westen performed a very synchronous rhythm foundation to support Ulmer's cascading guitar runs. But most of his compositions call for more active, prominent participation by bass and drum, which mean Alini and Westen were often laying down a sturdy rhythm instrument in the instrumental forefoot with Ulmer
The set was heavy with turbulent in instruments. Ulmer mixed up things a la John Mayer, who number Jaz is the Teacher, Funk is the Preacher* and *Are You Gad to be in America*, a glitting tune that could possibly unsequenced into a grave dead Tace.

Von Ende said he "had a good talk" with KU subcommittee chairman Ronald Hein, R-Topke, last week, but Hein gave no indication which programs the subcommittee supported.
KU asked the governor for $8 million more for a 10 percent faculty salary increase and higher classified pay and $12.5 million more for its education and operating budget.
But Carlin cut both requests before sending them onto the Legislature. The committee in effect reduced the amounts more last month by trimming $3 million from the Regents proposal.
THE COMMITTEE decreased Carlin's proposed 8 percent faculty pay increase to 7 percent and his proposed 6 percent operating budget increase to 5.5 percent.
The committee also voted for a 15 percent increase in tuition for all state university students.
Money to cover increased enrollment this year was eliminated and the committee told universities to manage with what money they had if future increases were minor.
The increase would mean KU students, who now pay about 20 percent of the total cost of their education, would pay around 23 percent next year.
Two other projects KU wants, but probably won't get because the governor didn't recommend them, are $3.6 million for the Haworth Hall and $400,000 for a feasibility study for a second library.
The Haworth Hall expansion would allow the biology department to move from the outdated and cramped conditions at Snow Hall into more modern facilities.
The feasibility study would see whether a second library, needed to take the load off Watson Library, could be built near the Military Science Building.
