Snow causes 15 KU injuries
By ALVIN A. REID Staff Reporter
The remains of Saturday's snow has locked the KU campus in a blanket of slippery danger. Wattins Hospital and St. Mary's related injuries since last weeked.
"When we get a snow, there is a rise in injuries such as sprained and twisted ankles," O. Ertal, student health physician, said yesterday. "This stuff is unfortunate but some injuries are recorded without a cause being determined."
Ertal said that after a snow there were usually a number of injuries from traying and sledding. But this year is different.
"This weekend only two of the injuries treated were caused by sled or tray accidents." Ertal said.
Two KU students said that walking on
campus sidewalks was more dangerous than traving.
"People think a lot of students are hurt while tragging and in my opinion this is negligible," John Hadjis, Clarkburgh, W. Va. junior said. "I think a heck of a lot more students get slipped on sidewalk ice than tragging."
"I think it would make it safer if they move away as soon as possible trying to ship all the goods off the dwellings."
Ertal said a number of injuries happened on campus stairs.
"Between basketball season and the ice, we've seen a number of sprains, bumps and bruises." Ertal said. "You have to be careful on that ice."
KU pedestrians received a reprieve from the weather yesterday as temperatures broke the freezing mark for the first time since Saturday.

Bill urges big stores to locate downtown
A bill to aid businessmen in attracting well-known department stores downtown is being drafted for introduction in the Kansas Senate later this month Sen. Jane Eldridge, R-Lawrence, said yesterday.
The bill, which is adapted from an Iowa statute, would allow businesses to form special districts with city approval and to tax merchants within the districts, City Commissioner Bob Schumm said.
SCHUMM SAID that the bill would allow a district to purchase, upgrade and renovate property.
The money assessed from the businesses would finance projects ranging from downtown clean-up to a department store or parking lot.
Bob Radcliffe, president of the Downtown Lawrence Association, said that major department stores would draw business to other merchants in the downtown area through their advertising.
"They're trying to find some way that added retailing can be had in the city of Lawrence," Radcliffe hill will have a pull in the downtown area.
Schumm said that the bill was needed to provide organizational control among the downtown merchants. He cited such problems as uniform shopping hours, advertising and maintenance and upkeep as areas that businesses needed to coordinate.
Eldredge said that the bill stemmed from a recommendation by Robert B. Teska Associates Inc., the city's urban consultant.
IF EVERYONE is taxed in a certain district, Schumm said, there would be more merchant participation in downtown programs.
He said downtown needed this participation to compete with other shopping centers.
"It would do everything a shopping center or mall could do and probably more." Schumm said.

City grants 2.5% rate increase to Kansas Public Service Co.
By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter
Natural gas rates, up 44 percent in 1980, continued their vertical march last night at the Lawrence City Commission meeting.
In a binding recommendation, Lou Drees, city arbitrator, granted the Kansas Public Service an across-the-board 2.5 percent rate increase.
As a result, residential rates will immediately go up from $2.88 to approximately $2.96 per thousand square feet (MCF) of natural gas.
A rate breakdown prepared by Drees showed "some discrepancy in the rate structures of the big industrial users," he said.
Drees said natural gas prices would continue to climb spurred by price deregulation and increasing costs in gas drilling.
"They tend to pay more for what they get residential users," Drees said. "However, if this imbalance was to be done over a period of years."
Dress 'fire', Dunn, Lubow and Co., was hired by the city in November to arbitrate Kansas Public Service's proposed rate increase. The firm's proposal to arbitration was approximately 57 percent of the total requested increase.
If the arbitrators had corrected these
"Higher rates are going to work their way back to the consumer," Drees said. "In four of five years, natural gas will most likely be at a minimum of $5 per MCF. I think everyone should insulate, do everything they can to conserve. It will be necessary to survive those rates."

Sue Bryant, representing Women's Transitional Care Services, said most of her group's financing was ending June 30. Her organization which assists women and their children, desperately needed a low-rent facility, she said.
"We pay $500 a month for our present house," she said. "It's run largely by volunteers. I'm sure we could raise the money for regular upkeep of the building. It wouldn't cost the city anything."
Two other social service groups had requested use of the Nash building, vacant since last year when its owners moved to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
A representative for Lawrence Alcohol Recovery House, the third group interested in the building, said the structure would be ideal as a halfway house for recovering alcoholics.
discrepancies, Drees said, residential and small commercial users would pay a total rate increase of $484,000, above the company's $478,100 request, with industrial users getting a rate decrease.

In other business, the commission awarded temporary use of the Bert Nash Mental Health Center, 4th and 8th streets, to O'Connell Youth Home for adolescents. The city plans to rent the Nash center for $1 a year.
Drees recommended that Kansas Public Service pass on future price hikes based on a "cost-of-service study." The arbiters' report noted that they require requiring such studies to equalize the rates and cost of customer service.
