Penal Center Diagnoses Felon's Needs, Behavior
By GINNIE MICKE Kansan Staff Writer
Experience demonstrates that any attempt to rehabilitate a person convicted of a felony before he is understood as an innocent victim, will produce negative results, according to George W. Thompson; superintendent of the Kansas State Reception and Diagnostic Center. The diagnostic center, in which he is part of the Kansas Penal System.
"This diagnostic understanding is essential before rehabilitation or treatment indicated." said Johnson recently.
The purpose of the diagnostic center is to evaluate a convicted felon, outlining his needs, assets and liabilities. The staff at the center concentrate on inmates who are inmates in an anti-social manner.
Thompson said only 26 states had some type of evaluation of convicted felons and that most of the programs for the prison program as the one in Kansas
THE CENTER uses the team approach in evaluating an inmate's readiness to work, psychiatrist, psychologist, psychiatrist and chaplain were assigned to each inmate, and that the evaluation was on "a very good" basis.
The social worker gets the social history of an inmate by interviewing his parents and family and through community agencies, former employers and military services.
The psychologist evaluates va-
terials with a pittitude of
achievements and clinical
personality tests and
personal counseling are also a
THE CHAIPLAIN researches the religious background of each inmate, as well as providing an understanding of his life. He is also responsible for conducting worship services and interpreting the work of the inmates.
The psychiatrist is the team leader, and the amount of time he spends directly with an inmate depends on the individual case

Kansas Rivals To Run Race On Kaw River
The third annual canoe race is

Kansas State University residence

held on Friday, April 16.
We've never had any restrictions about who can enter the residence hall, but anyone aimed primarily at the residence halls, but anyone can enter." John Hill assistant to the residence hall system, said Monday.
Hill said each cane must start and finish the race. The crew must go in the same direction the race, but there must be three people, representing both sexes, in the canoe at all times, he said. Coast Guard safety rules will be enforced.
"One thing we want clearly understood by the contestants is that you are in a position to take responsibility for their safety," Hill said. "The enter at their
"We'll start around noon on Saturday and finish up sometime on Sunday," he said.
To enter the race, which will run from below the bridge in Hallettsville, Lawrence bridge, a student should contact Ben Mann, vice-president of the KU Association of University Resident Halls, at 844-9875.
The average stay at the center is about 45 days, said Thompson. By the fourth week, the staff tries to pool its knowledge and resources. By the fifth week, he reports that report should be finalized.
ALTHOUGH MOST of the inmates at the Diagnostic Center stay there for evaluation purposes only, there are about 25 prisoners assigned to the on-site work on a permanent basis.
Since 1982, when the center began operating, over 4,700 cases have been evaluated. Thompson said a sample survey of these cases led to the recommendation of inmates was 26 years old, with a ninth grade education.
Most inmates have a history of broken homes and poor job stability.
Some 37 per cent on the survey were Kansas residents all their lives, with 47 per cent having married before juveniles. Thompson said. Thirty-five per cent had been in correctional institutions before
Thompson said there had been a marked increase in the number of children in the care group. The young adults, ranging in age from 18 to 25, compose about 75 to
“IN SUM, the inmates’ self-image is of having failed in everything, including crime,” he said. “Our motivation is often bereadness and despair, and they are wrongly held by aging out by ageing up their aggressions.
"Ninety per cent have plead guilty to the crime as charged or

to a lesser charge.Most have had a court-appointed attorney."
When the center was first authorized by the state in 1861, it was originally planned to have all three judges on the bench. Because the maximum capacity of only 120 made this impossible, the statute was modified. The district court judge now demands that he refer to the center.
JUDGE FRANK R. GRAY,
district judge for Douglas
County, said he determined
which people to recommend for
diagnostic evaluation on the basis
of their performance in a ceer's
pre-sequence investigation.
He said the lack of adequate space did not enter into his decision. Rather, he referred a lawyer to the court whether he would benefit from it.
As a general rule, Gray sends young and first-time offenders. Diagnostic Center is the biggest Kansas in determining whether a person convicted of a felony should stay in a penal institution or leave.
Most of the cases referred to
the center from Douglas County
are recommended for some type
of probation, said A.D. Davidson,
and parole officer, and
these accommodations are
adhered to by Gray.
A SENTENCE can be modified up to 120 days after sentencing. A judge can lessen a sentence by not having it cannot lengthen it. If a person goes on probation before the 120th day, it may not loss any of his civil rights.
"In addition to evaluating persons who come directly from the courts, we also examine prisoners who have served their sentences and have been referred to the center by the Board of Probation and Parole," Thompson said. "We also examine inmates at the request of institutional institutions for purpose of helping to implement the rehabilitation prescribed for them within the prison system or inmates who may have difficulty in their adjustment to prison."
City to Build 'Sawtooth' Curbs

Editor's Note: This is the first of two articles about the downtown redevelopment of Lawrence.
By CHRIS MILLER
Kansan Staff Writer
In its analysis of the condition the central business district the Massachusetts Street between 6th and 11th streets the plan for the city's downtown.
Efforts to improve the overall appearance of the central business district can be traced back to 1964, when a St. Louis firm of city planners developed a growth of the city of Lawrence.
"IF THE Lawrence central business district is to maintain a strong position in the future, it must offer service areas, it must offer those shopping and service facilities desired by the population it will serve. Beauty and convenience are found in parks, offices and disorder . . . The Lawrence central business district should become an exciting object of civic pride, spreading its fame across the additional limits of its trading area.
After eight years of effort and two different attempts to obtain federal funds for development, the Lawrence downtown business will be revitalized this year with help of the federal government.
The plan goes on to describe the

A pictorial essay of life in the United States on Tuesday, March 21. Mr. Keller put together by William Put together by professor of photography at photographic school.
THE RESPONSE has been thin. Seventeen photographers from 13 states have submitted pictures. The largest contributor is a young woman.
In the letter which was sent to the faculty members and alumni, the nominee should provide a successful model for KU women students in the choosing of their positions in becoming effective citizens.
The book, tentatively entitled "A Split Second in the Life of the U. S.," will be the result of a mutual effort of over 800 newspaper articles and college photographs of 50 states who photographed one aspect of life at exactly 2 p. m. E. S. on March 21.
"The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has promised to expand the country laid by its own over-Windy, Utah." Seymour said.
Publication of the proposed book is still "up in the air."

The three documents will be presented at a general meeting of the committee in Topeka. Skenandore said that the best points of each would be incorporated into the final constitution

Declaring that the worsening welfare mess has become "a social and political time bomb," President Nikon demanded that Congress complete action this year on his WELFARE REFORM Act, which would ban the amassed $480 million in the ramshackle welfare system, patchuped on many times in the past but still basically unchanged since it was first enacted as emergency legislation in the mid-1930s. "Among its provisions, the act requires that welfare programs be a figure associated by welfare rights groups as too low.

A bill to raise about $2.5 MILLION ADDITIONAL STATE REVENUE from a surtax on individual incomes is being prepared for introduction in the Kansas House today, Speaker Calvin Strowig said. He said this would give the legislators a choice.
In August of 1966, city officials submitted plans for a renewal project estimated to cost $350 million. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of the federal Department The Project was not approved for federal funding, called for development of Massachusetts Street into four separate block-long parking spaces requested $630,182 in federal funds.
THE PROPOSED project is covered pavilions, shelters, textured sidewalks, a new surface for Massachusetts Street, underground utilities, numerous plumbing outlets and up of the arcades, landscaping along Massachusetts 7th, 8th, 9th streets, 'scramble' type traffic signals, enabling pedestrians to cross an intersection any direction at the same time.
In 1968, city officials submitted a similar plan with an estimated cost of $1,743,846 to the federal government under the authority granted in 1968. Again, federal authorities refused to fund the project.
Recently, $550,000 in federal funds was made available to the city through the Neighborhood Development Program (NDP) of HUD.
Although plans have not been finalized, Schaake said the project would tentatively be funded by a $30,000 four-funded by HUD through the NDP and one funded by the city of Lawrence. About the same amount of money will be invested in the project by the city and the NDP.
DON SCHAKE, executive director of the local office of the NDP, said recently this federal money would be used for some type of revitalization of the area, possibly this summer.
The city's contribution of about $400,000 will pay for removing the 'trown' of Massachusetts Street streets and repaving of the streets and repacing of the streets.
SCHAKE EXPLAINED that over the years, the paving in the middle of Massachusetts Street was removed without removing the old places. In places originally buried in the 1805 may still be buried under the paving. As much as two feet of paving may need to be removed.
New 'sawtooth' curbing and guttering sloping away from the curbing, some sidewalks at the curb, and the other constructed with federal money.
Federal funds provided through the NDP will pay for several improvements.
Some underground utilities including waterlines and conduit
for street light wiring,will be federally funded.
NDP funds will also furnish street furniture and plantings, including benches, benches, receipetables, telephone booths, improvements in the existing side areas, according to Schake.
SCHAKE SAID the loca- office of the NDP was budgeted $50,000 for 1972. The city, he said, had to expand the private market to raise capital for the project. The federal government repays the notes, deducting interest paid to the government and some supervision charges.
Actual engineering and construction costs of the project must be $40,000. Schaake said, because the downtown project, planned by Downtown project, will require local NDP office, and interest paid on the project must be based on the cost.
If all of the money is not used in this project year, he said it will be spent on other forms of government. All of the funds will be spent, he emphasized, only if they are used for the needs of the community.
Much of the results of the project, Shaake said, will depend on the participation of local merchants.
SCHAKE SAID $50,000 was a minimum figure for federal paralegal projects. He described it as "kind of a drop in the bucket to the employer."
To obtain uniformly new sidewalks in much of the area, 51 per cent of the merchants must have a district office district to finance construction of sidewalks. Although the city could require about 25 per cent of sidewalks because they are hazardous, Schaake said 50 per cent of the sidewalks should be hazardous, but they are not hazardous.
Under a benefit district, the merchants as a group pay the cost of the new sidewalks using their own equipment, and the merchants more. Schaeke said, since it would involve repaving large areas of sidewalk than uncoordinated individual efforts, that would uniformly excellent sidewalks.
ABOUT 25 per cent of the sidewalks are in excellent shape now, he said, and need not be replaced.
Convincing the downtown merchants of the advisibility of forming a benefit district will be a function of the Chamber of Commerce, rather than any other group, according to Schake.
He said it would also be up to the Chamber of Commerce to allow its owners a businessman to to shop improvements in their storefronts. They must be shown, he said, the appearance of their stores.
Many stores, such as Weaver's, have recently completed remodeling of the store's shape. Schake said, Others, however, need reconstruction, he
The theory behind the redevelopment, Schaake said, is, "There is so much private and public investment (in the central business district) that you can't afford to waste it. It is a matter of economic survival in the strictest sense."
