If at first you don't succeed, invest more money.
Jacobs, Viscsoni and Jacobs is doing just that after the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission dealt a setback to JVJ'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 an annual investment of
Some of JVL's dollars are already paying indirect dividends, as two plump managers envisioned them.

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.

The University of Kansas won't be helped by the Senate Ways and Means Committee's relaxed attitude toward individual universities' lists, 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 committee committee cut those requests deeply last month.
HESS SCHEDULED committee hearings for
the individual campaigns, requests for next year.
After committee action this week, the campuses and Regents budgets will be sent to the board.
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

KU 1982 budget request tied to Regents budget

"We'll just wait and see," he said. "I have no seen the subcommittee reports, I don't know if ours (KU's) is done."
Von Ende said he "had a good talk" with KU subcommittee chairman Ronald Hein, R-Topek, last week, but Hein gave no indication which programs the subcommittee supported.
EU 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 also voted for a 15 percent average increase in tuition for all state colleges.
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 8 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 can't get because the governor don't recommend them, are $3.6 million for the Haworth Hall project and $0,000 for a feasibility study for second library.
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.
