Developer continues mall battle
By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter
If at first you don't succeed, invest more money.
Jacobs, Viscosa 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 have a great program."
Some of JV's dollars are already paying
in the office. The company envelopes
in the jersey's shipping 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; 375 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 JVJ's request is "still tentative" according to assistant city manager Mike Wilden.
After committee action this week, the campuses' and Regents budgets will be sent to the full Senate in one bill for debate.
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 chair.

KU 1982 budget request tied to Regents budget
HESS SCHEDULED committee hearings for tomorrow and Friday to consider the individual candidate.
The University of Kansas won't be helped by the Senate Ways and Means Committee's relaxed attitude toward individual universities' 1982 budget requests, 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 number of Resegs system-wide proposed budget. The committee cut those requests deeply last month.

"I suspect that the subcommittee reports certainly will not be bigger than the committee."
Von Ende said he "had a good talk" with KU subcommittee chairman Ronald Hein, R-Topeka, 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.
"We'll just wait and see," he said. "I have not seen the subcommittee reports, I don't know if they are."
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.
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 also voted for a 15 percent increase in tuition for all state universities.

Daniels as CBP. Perry Kirk will portray Han Solo, Brock Peters will be Darth Vader, Ann Sachs, Princess Leia. The first 15 episodes will be a "greedy expanded" version of the first film; new characters will be introduced who may appear in fourth films, so pay attention. About 200 National Public Radio stations will carry Star Wars starting with the second week of season 4. Check your locals. Oh yes — the series will also incorporate sophisticated stereo sound techniques, including the nifty John Williams score.

ROHMAN DREYFUS will portray Albert Einstein, age 26 in a Disney production — described as a cross between a "straight biography and Fantasia." The untitled picture will use animation and special effects to show how Einstein devised his theory of relativity. Dreyfus' brother Lorin and David Landsberg are the project developers.
STEVE MARTIN. Bernadette Peters and Christopher Walker are starring in *Pennis from Heaven*, about a sheet music salesman in the Thirteens. Although full of song and dance, the film is dramatic; D Martin's dull, boring life and unhappy marriage send him into musical fantasies. Peters starts out as a schoolteacher, has an abortion and ends up a prostitute, while Walken plays it hinted by all this. The movie is not a typical Steve Martin film. "This is his first draft," quoth the film's publicist, "he's definitely not playing this with an arrow through his head." Martin spent four months on tap dancing lessons, but no one
in the film sings, rather, they all lip-sync to original recordings of the Thirties
Digital Delay
And after that, Martin is supposed to revert to type, playing a private eye in *Suck the bullet* (a tentative but memorable title)
RY COOBER has sworn off digital recording. Though his recent Borderline is digitally recorded and last year's Bop Till You Drop was promoted as 'rock' first digital LP. "Coocher wants to go back to the sounds of the pre-transfer era. Never less, digital has several new converts to its clean, lively & (expensive) sound. Billy Joel, Jefferson Starship, Rickie Lee Jones, Williams, the Outsiders, The People (remember them). So Outsiders Jones are all making digita! Do. Digital studio time is about 40 minutes more costly than stand-alone recording. "I like the clean, perfect sound of digital," Grammy winner Christopher Cross told Billboard recently, "especially for my type of music. Of course," he added, "if I was Matt the Hoople I probably wouldn't think it was such a good idea."

ANTICIPATION is high for a new Garland Jeffries album, his first for Epic *Escape Artist* will feature the 7 and the Mysterians classic, "96 Tears" as well as "Miami Beach," a song about the recent Freedom City riots, and a 4-song reggae EP including contributions from David Johansen, Lou Rowe Big Wheat, Linton Kewlson (Jesus), Eve Bentan Band, Danny Rittenhouse and Ribbon and a number of members of the Walkers.

BLESMAN ARBERT COLLINS, a great, sweaty showman who likes to crowp audiences with a long cord on his Fender, tossing off insinuating glances with his nasty riffs, just received the 1981 'Prize Big Bill Brooney' in Paris.

Tom Petty, triple platinum a year ago with Tommy the Torpedoes, an album made in the midst of legal battles, is deliving completion of his newest album because MCA, parent label to his Backstreet Records, wants to retail the finished product at $9.89. Arguing that a shopping price would damage his personal image, Petty adds, "For once in my life, I'd like to make a record without a legal battle. It isn't just fair to the kids."
maybe, countered an anonymous MCA spokesperson, "if he'd burn up a million dollars making the record, it wouldn't have to cost so much."

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 don't get because the governor didn't recommend them, are $3.6 million for the Haworth Hall project and $300,000 for a faculty study for second school.
The Haworth Hall expansion would allow the iology department to move from the outdated nd cramped conditions at Snow Hall into more modern facilities.
The feasibility study would see whether a second library, needed to take the load off Vatson Library, could be built near the Military science Building.
