Developer continues mall battle
By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter
If at first you don't succeed, invest more money.
Jacobs, Visciosa 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.

Some of JVL's dollars are already paying indirect dividends. The telephone office can attest.
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 405 coupons, many with letters and other comments attached; 376 supported JVJ's proposed 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 Wildeen.
Meanwhile, Richard Zinn, JJV's Lawrence attorney, is preparing to argue his client's case
KU 1982 budget request tied to Regents budget
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
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 committee cut those requests deeply last month.
The University of Kansas won't be helped by the Senate Ways and Means Committee's renewed attitude toward individual universities' 1982 assets, according to the committee chairman.

After committee action this week, the campa-
men's budget grants will be sent to the full Senate in response.
Since the individual requests, 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.

The Spanish, French, Cajun, black and old southern cultures that shaped New Orleans provided the city with a cosmopolitan flavor. The city's diverse mix of the Superdome, a concrete monsieur looming above the downtown business center adjacent to the French Quarter, is one reason it doesn't detract from the character.
There are rooming houses in the French Quarter and along St. Charles Avenue (a min d'age) at fairly reasonable convention city so you can about reusing a car, to arrange it in advance. Even without wheels, you should have too much trouble getting around via buses. The St. Charles avenues are particularly of the typical tourist attractions — museums, souvenir shops, steamship cruises and horse-drawn carriage tours are centered around Jackson Square.
Bourbon Street is a lew'd Disneyland for middle-aged tourists. Apart from some hot Disneyland izz, the most interesting sounds come from the
sidewalk spellers — They got their daddies names and their manners frames, took the best honeys horizons due to their trying to try hiding into the clubs.
But, oi. yes, you will吃 well. Connoisseurs of seafood and spicy table fare will dig into Italian and Creole cuisine. You'll find jambalaya, gumbo, red beans and rice.
The Gumbo House (630 St. Peter's
near Jackson Square) offers a
representative taste of New Orleans fries
(jambalay, gumbo, etc.) for $5.6
Toney's Spaghetti House (121 Bourbon Street) is a functional place to score 0 for ambiance but serves good food in the $4.5 price.
Cake De Malone (800 Decur St or Jackson Square) is mandatory in the kitchen. The square doughnut covered with powder sugar — and chicory-laced coffee of sufficient strength to blast caffine into full consciousness with two cups.
Camellia Grill (626 S. Carrollton, off St. Charles) is a counter restaurant serving good short order food—bure-
ers, shakes and a great potato & onion
omelette — for $2-4

Pescal's Mandle (1838 Nixonpe) is the place to go if you decide to splurge on $1.02 per person dinner and $4.02 per person restaurant, you can get by on a button down shirt and blue jeans and then be prepared to wait for an hour or so.
Speaking of native places, Buster Holmes (721) burgundy St. in the French Quarter) is a cobalt collar that closes around 6.00 p.m. where the most expensive item on the menu is red shrimp and red beans & rice for $3.00; the next best food is good and you get enough to fill your belly. what more can you ask for?
Everyone automatically associates New Orleans with the Mardi Gras hat, on a native friend's recommendation, or in a music festival and Heritage Festival. Held over the course of two weeks in April, it’s equal parts state fair and music festival featuring everything from gospel and jazz to local homemets like Fats Domino.
Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers.
The weekend concerts are held on doors at the Fair Grounds Race Track where simultaneous musical programs can be played. There's no way to absorb everything so buy a program and place your priorities. A number of crafts teen tents offer activities for kids. Louisiana handicrafts, food treat everything from jambalaya to goat ribs and a healthy number of social club events bandes parade New Orleans style.
A special treat is the opportunity to see the Mardi Gras Indian tribes performing their funki, percussive street dance, in a horta that started as a homage to the bonds formed between native Americans and runaway blacks during slavery days. The horta has feathers and plumed headaddresses interfaith with orate semen and bead designs, are hand-made, and no one else on the same costume two years in a row.
to half a dozen locales around the city, including the SS *Pierce*, a bona fide steamship docked at the southern end of Gail Street. Many performers at the weekend also play club dates during the week, allowing the performers to see someone like zydeco long Clifton Chester in intimate surroundings.

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.
Von Ende said he "had a good talk" with KU subcommittee chairman Ronald Hein, R-Topea, last week, but Hein gave no indication which programs the subcommittee supported.
"We'll just wait and see," he said. "I have not seen the subcommittee reports, I don't know if anyone knew."

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.
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 COMMITTEE decreased Carlin's proposed 6 percent faculty pay increase to 7 percent and his proposed 6 percent operating budget increase to 5.5 percent.
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 project and $500,000 for a feasibility study for a second library.
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.
The Haworth Hall expansion would allow the biology department to move from the outdated and cramped conditions at Snow Hall into more modern facilities.

Residents have the option of a salad bar if they don't like the meat, Wilson said.
"There's enough at the salad bar at any hall for anyone to have a good, balanced diet," he said.
Hartman suggested the halls offer their residents optional food contracts.
The women said that salads did not provide for all of their nutritional needs.
"We complained about paying $70 a month just for saland," Miller said. "That is not a balance amount."
"If you aren't eating the food, then you shouldn't have to pay for it," she said.
