KU pharmacy helps students fight illness
Sickness and pain rear their ugly heads in different forms, but Watkins Hospital pharmacy has the medicines to combat many of them. James Gillipse, Watkins Hospital pharmacist, said yesterday.
"We have all types of medicine for all types of sickness," Gillipie said. "We're stocked with antibiotics, pain medications, muscle relaxers and any other medicine a retail drug store would carry."
GILLIESPI SAID if a student needed medication that the pharmacy was out of or didn't stock, the pharmacy could obtain it within 12
"The pharmaceutical warehouses and distributors we rely on for medicine can get their product to us in fairly quick time," Gillspee said. "If there is a possible substitute for the medicine a person needs, we can deliver it directly or ensure it is all right to make the switch."
Gillispie said most prescriptions were written by doctors at Watkins, but any valid prescription written by
a doctor would be filled at the pharmacy.
THE PHARMACY, which fills almost 650,000 prescriptions a year, has been busy dispensing pain and fever relievers, antibiotics and cough medicine because of the flu epidemic that swept the campus, but doctors said the pharmacy had been three times as busy as usual.
Medicine is generally cheaper at the pharmacy than at a private business, according to Gillispie.
"The health fee helps subsidize the cost of medicine, so the student gets a break with the price," Gillispie said.
The pharmacy is staffed by Gillispie and one other full-time pharmacist. In addition, three KU pharmacy students in their fourth or fifth years are also employed at the pharmacy.
"The time they put in here counts toward the 1,500 they must work to satisfy the requirements of the state pharmacy board," he said.
Bond grant creates a stir at city meeting
The Lawrence City Commission opened up Pandora's box last night, and out popped the beginnings of a new industrial revenue bond policy.
By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter

On a 4-1 vote, with commissioner Marci Francisco abstaining, the commission granted Lawrence award and拨款 576,000 in industrial revenue bonds.
"Since we began issuing industrial revenue bonds, their purpose has changed a lot," commissioner Bob Summam said. "I'm not sure whether that's good or bad, but I think it's good."
However, it was rather the amount not the project that caused a stir. It was the fact that the bonds were granted to
a retail rather than an industrial enterprise.
Commissioner Con Binns, while not directly disputing Schumm's statement, urged caution on the matter.
"We're opening up Pandora's box here. I don't think we've ever offered it to a retail enterprise before, and we look at this concept very carefully."
Scholarship for blacks offered
A new black scholarship, offered through the Kansas University Alumni Association, is now available to black students.
The award is two scholarships, both $200. It will be given to two students, one to a continuing KU student, and the other to an incoming freshman.
"The Black Alumni Committee decided to use some of the funds they've collected over the last few years for a scholarship," Clantha McCurdy, Assistant Director for the Office of Financial Aid, said yesterday.
The Bruce-Smith Award, named in honor of honor Ketene Kencee Bru, KU's first black graduate, and Lizzie Ann Walker, was awarded to the University, will be awarded
sometime during the 1981-82 academic year.
Applicants will be judged on academic achievement, leadership ability and an essay competition.
Application forms and additional information are available at the Office of Financial Aid. 26 Strong Hall. The home for applications is February 27,1981.
Gould, whose firm is located at 704 Massachusetts St., sought the money to rehabilitate the former Nickel Building, 704-710 Massachusetts St., which was gutted by fire in 1979. Gould renovated building to expand his firm.
Remaining space would be devoted to retail and professional offices, Gould said in his original Jan. 20 request. He estimated that the space would be needed for the new building.
Birns said he was worried that the Commission would not be able to grant all future IRB requests for retail businesses, and that those granted the bonds would have an unfair competitive advantage.
"Unless we formulate a strict policy on this, we're going to be put in the position of granting the bonds to some people, denying them to others," Bain said.
He pointed out that no competitor of Gould's had objected to his getting the bonds, and that the project did not have plans for downdowne development.
Commissioner Barkley Clark said that passage of the bond proposal would reverse a stagnant mentality about the downtown that has developed.
Mayor Ed Carter said he understood and appreciated Binn's reservations, but emphasized that Gould's business bad been on hold for three weeks.
"It's been frozen for so long that we've got to get something going," Carter said.
make people excited about downtown." Clark said. "We need to reverse the psychology about development that exists now."
The commission directed the city planning staff to formulate an IRB policy statement in two weeks.
"We need a study session on IRB policy."Clark said.
He said that several factors were involved, including the location of the report station.
In other action, the city accepted a downtown redevelopment study from its consultants, Robert B. Teska Associates of Evanston, Ill., and only cut Teska's earlier proposal to draft a downtown comprehensive plan.
The comprehensive plan proposal, which city planning director Garner Stoll estimated would be completed in 2015, was submitted to the city Jan. 26.
"The plan called for market studies, traffic access and parking studies that we didn't need," Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, said.
The redevelopment study, in urging the construction of some major new retail shopping space downtown, estimated that such a downtown rejuvenation would increase the downtown's market share from 12.9 percent to 25 percent its share of Lawrence retail business.
The study noted that Lawrence lost $4.8 million in retail and $1.1 million in advertising revenues.
