Law Review Includes Poor, Ecology Topics
The University of Kansas Law Review for winter, 1972, was released last week by the School of Law.
Comments in the winter edition concern "The Poor. Equal Protection and Public Housing" of New York City. Anssets of Flood Plain Zonnie "
This issue contains articles on "The Legal Status of Under-graduates in Secondary Schools," "Incompatibility: A 'New' Approach to the Dissolution of Marriage" and "Health and Kansas School Finance."
Dick Bernasek, Manhattan third-year law student and editor of the Review, said Thursday the Kansas Law Review, published by third-year honor students who, on the basis of their academic standing and demonstrated writing ability, were invited to compete for staff positions after first year in the School of Law.
He said faculty assistance was also provided.
This is the 20th year of the law school and contains critical and analytical articles written by practicing lawyers, scholars, judges and educators.
Discussions of developments in the law, in the form of comments and notes on current problems, are provided by second- and third students under the supervision of the student editorial staff.
The objective of the Review is to offer individualized training in the use of legal research techniques and analysis of authorities, critical and independent thought regarding legal problems and administrative tasks. The University of Kansas Law Review is distributed to most attorneys in Kansas, as well as law schools in the country.
each year. Outgoing members are ineligible for re-election for two years. There are 12 positions to be filled this year.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said each faculty member was three of his colleagues. Each nominee was asked if he would be averse to running and the names on the ballot are those that agreed with willingness to run, he said.
NICHOLS SAID there were fewer people running this year than last. Thirty-eight petitions compared to 49 last year, he said.
One person for whom a petition was received this year declined to be considered for the council, and James on the ballot, Nichols said.
If a particular school is not represented after the votes are tabulated, Nichols said, the student from that school would be elected in place of the nominee lowest in order on the original list, if the displacement does not result in the school not being represented.
The new University Council will meet for the first time April 6. The meeting was originally scheduled, but the date was changed to allow the Student Senate to elect the student members to the Council, Nichols said.
Budget request forms for student organizations and departments which seek money from the 1972-1973 student activity fee are available in the Student Senate treasurer's office in the Kansas Union basement.

Editor's Note: This is the second of a three-part series on child care and day care centers in Lawrence.
By MARTI STEWARI Kansan Staff Writer
The Community Children's
Center, Inc. is located on the
second floor of the Plymouth
Congregational Church. Walking
down the corridor, a visitor can
see children from behind
background doors.
Turning, the visitor discovers the owner of the voice, 5-year-old Aaron Horton, who has outstretched for a bug. Hug accomplished, she disappears
"Hi." pipes a small voice behind the visitor. "Who are you?"
"Jackie had a problem of being timid and back and backwards when she first came to the center," said Charline Fretag, a social worker relating to people better and showing her feelings more."
JACKIE IS 15 of 24 children who spend their days at the Head Start Program. The Head Start and financed mainly by a grant from the Department of Health, Education and Self-Defense has been operating since 1966.
All children enrolled at the center are from families who fail under the government poverty rate. A third family of four. All mothers who take their children there must be working or students. There is no problem.
Under the stipulations of the HEW grant, Frettag said, 20 percent of the financing for the church to be made to the community. The Plymouth Congregational Church donated the space, she said, and other "in kind" contributions take the form of non volunteer supplies and supplies.
"SOME PLACES in town are strictly baby-sitting, and a lot of people are doing day care without being licensed." Freitag said.
"Our workers are trained," she said. "We try to develop the child completely. We try to expose them to as many experiences as possible and to help them succeed in what they experience."
The center has two light, airy classrooms with 12 children in them. There are no windows by a teacher and a teacher's aide, so that unless there are volunteers in the classroom, a ratio of one teacher to six children is
The far corner of one classroom is a housekeeping corner. Here the children can sit and relate to others. Fretting said.
"You have to knock before you come in," said a little girl in the housekeeping area.
TWO SMALL BOYS sat in the block building area. They had constructed a low barrier between other eyes, eyeing each other over the ton.
"I'm not sure what they're building." Freitag said. "This activity is helpful in developing large and small motor skills."
One boy sat by himself on a child-sized bed in an area set off from the rest of the room. He was

"MOTHERS are too tired to "read them at night and too tired to "play with them, so mothers normally do. The parents are not physically or financially able to give them comfort." Frieag said. "It isn't that they don't love their children. They bring them here because they need it."
Hazel Patten is one of three women in Lawrence who are licensed to provide day care. Her children play at the backyard of Lawrence, has a large backyard with swings, sandboxes, seesaws and slides. When the children play in the yard, they watch from window over her kitchen sink.
"MOST OF THESE children are only children. I try to make them self reliant. This also gives them the opportunity to play with other children," she said. "I don't care how many times they work out their own works."
Day care for children in a poor home provides many the same benefits as the large centers, but there are fewer children under the care of one.
Patten and her husband were formerly missionaries to the Congo, where he was a Christian education director at the First Christian Church in Lawrence. When Patten began teaching at St. James' College, all of his own children were in college.
children to the center because they knew the children would have experiences there that they would not have at home.
Day Care Financing Tied to State Grant
The allocated money for the subcommittee included $2,500 to match state funds, but if the allocation was not be met by the subcommittee, then Oldfather would not be able to approve the allocation, O'Neill
Numerous problems concerning the funding of a proposed day care center must be resolved before the $3,200 allocated by the Student Senate on March 1 to the Senate Day Care Subcommittee could be established in establishing the center.
Lucille Paden, social welfare lecturer and a member of the subcommittee, said Saturday the subcommittee might have some concerns about the funds. A number of requirements would have to be met, she said.
Bill O'Neill, Bailinw, Mo. junior and Senate treasurer, said Monday that allocation must first be based on the student's Oldfather, university attorney. The questions that Oldfather would have to consider, O'Neill said, would be whether or not the student should have appropriate student activity to be funded from the student activity fee and whether or not the money allocated could actually be used for purpose for which it was intended.
THE LAST FACTOR depends on the receipt of a state grant to the Day Care Subcommittee which will establish a center for the student.
Paden said the State Dept. of Social Welfare, to which he was supposed not accept money directly from the Senate, because it was university based. The allocated amount for an incorporated board, which would then submit a request for funds to the State Dept. of Social Welfare. Paden said
The day care center would have to be a community based center, Paden said. She said it could service the university, but it was not yet a university operated or run by any university department.
"The money I brought in beed with the expenses she then paid to buy the land the money as much, and I do this mainly to fulfill a need in the business."
THE STAFFING of the center would have to be non-university personnel or university personnel in a non-official capacity
The Day Care Subcommittee is working with Faith Spencer, who is a specialist in child care facilities in the division of child services of the State Department. Of his responsibilities, he has the application, Paden said.
PADENSAID any financial aid outside of the Student Senate would help the situation considerably.
No state funds will be available until July 1, when the new fiscal
Paden said an incorporated board had not yet been selected.

year begins, Paden said. All funds earmarked for day care have already been spent, she said.
O'Neill said if the Senate allocation could not be approved, the Senate might ask the Republican to a private and independent association, to pledge the $2,500 to match the state funds. The Senate would then subsidize an institution's association university project.
