Group seeks alternative to aid cuts
Kansas students work to create counterproposal
By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Kansas student representatives next week may recommend to Congress an alternative to President Reagan's proposed student financial aid cuts, a Student Senate officer said yesterday.
The student body vice president, Jeff Polack, said the representatives from Kansas universities would meet within the school to together their recommendation to Congress.
Seven Kansas students, including Polack and William Easley, student body president, traveled to Washington, D.C., last week as part of a Board of Regents committee. The group went to express its concerns about Reagan's proposed cuts.
While there, Polack said, the students met with representatives from the offices of Sen. Nancy Landon Kassbeau, R-Kan., Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., and Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan., asked them to present the students' counterproposal to Congress.
EASLEY SAID THE Student Advisor Committee to the Regents had begun planning the trip to Washington in mid-January. At that time, its primary purpose was to respond to raising the drinking age, he said.
After Reagan announced the proposed cuts, the purpose of the trip changed, and committee members concentrated on the task that the cuts would have on students, he said.
Under Reagan's proposal:
- Students would have to give up any federal aid over $4,000 a year.
- Guaranteed student loans would be cut off for students with family incomes above $32,500.
- Students with family incomes of more than $25,000 would be prohibited from receiving Pell grants.
- A student under 22 years old with at least one living parent would be classified as financially dependent, regardless of the amount of parental assistance received.
Jeff Weinberg, associate director of financial aid, said last month that about 3.200 KU students would lose financial aid if Congress approved Reagan's proposed cuts.
Polack said the Kansas student group would consider changing some of the financial aid programs and developing a curriculum for students to understand diverse tests for various types of financial aid.
The changes may make financial aid harder for some students to receive, Polack said, but aid would still be available to those who need it.
Polack said the group would prepare the proposal and present it to Dole when he speaks at Kansas State University at the end of next week. The group then will send copies of the proposal to other congressmen.
Polack and Easley said that most of the people they talked to in Washington said that Reagan's financial aid bill probably would be amended to make the cuts more reasonable.
Easley said the Kansas group's concern and dedication to the financial aid issue had led the Kansas Department of Education to
The trip to Washington showed legislators that students can be a political force, he said. Other students representing Kansas in Washington were Dave Ramsey, Pittsburg State University; Jeff Kahres, Wichita State University; Mark Jones, Kansas State University; and Mark Bannister and John Allen, Fort Hays State University.
"They were shocked that we would be out the lobbying for something of this nature," he said.
The day after spring break leaves Rod Roberts, Olathe freshman, and Shannon Stube, Leavenworth freshman, competing head-to-head in front of Hashinger Hall in the
race for a great tan. They said yesterday they were outside because they didn't go anyplace for spring break.
Riverfront mall seeks financing
By MIKE GREEN
Staff Reporter
Developers for the riverfront mall project have begun to seek financial backers to make their plans a reality, one of the developers told the Downtown Improvement Committee yesterday.
Steve Clark, president of Lawrence Riverfront Mall Inc., said the mall project was moving from the planning stage to the point where he could obtain money to begin construction.
On March 8, Clark announced that the department store that would anchor the mall would be a locally owned store that will be named Cromer's. The department store would be headed by Art Cromer, 1525 Alvamar Drive.
Cronom has lived in Lawrence for the last 19 years. He was a vice president with Gibson's Discount Center, 2825 Isa St., until he designed in February to work on the mall payroll.
CROMER TOLD THE DIC yesterday that his store would be a "Macy's or Jones Store type of operation." It would carry brand-
name merchandise and offer large selections, he said.
The department store would be on two levels, Cromer said, with escalators connecting the floors. It would be built east of City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
Cromer told the DIC that the advantages of a locally owned store were that money would stay in Lawrence and the store would be more responsive to customer needs.
Clark predicted that the total mall project would create 500 jobs in Lawrence. He said the developers hoped to stop some of the "leakage of millions of dollars out of the city which is caused by people going to Kansas City and Topeka to shop."
He said he and the other developers, Larry Chance, 2108 Invent Drive, and Craig Patterson, 1142 Rhode Island St., were looking for people who could provide financial backing and who had business expertise to join the corporation. Clark said he met with meeting that he thought the corporation eventually would have about six members.
MAYOR ERNEST Angino said he thought the idea of a riverfront mall was an excellent one but said he wanted to know what
financing the corporation had obtained or was about to obtain.
"Everyone is still talking in platinitudes," Angino said. "It's a terrific idea, but Lawrence has been waiting and watching on these assaults, which so far haven't moved ahead."
Clark said that the developers were talking to potential investors almost every day and that he hoped to be able to name some investors soon.
After the meeting, Clark said a lawsuit filed against him by Dillon Real Estate Co. would have no effect on the developers' attempts to find financial backing. The law suit was filed in Douglas County District Court on Jan. 29.
The suit alleges that Clark, who was acting as a real estate broker in a deal between Dillon and the property owners of a site near Sixth Street and Lawrence Avenue, had released the $2,000 he was holding for the real estate company when the deal was completed.
Clark said he could not comment on the lawsuit but said he thought the suit was close to being settled out of court. He said that the lawyer told him that he had nothing to do with the riverfront project.
Harry Bear's brings burgers downtown
Staff Reporter
By JEANINE HOWE
Make way McDonald's and Burger King — the gourmet hamburger and Harry Bear's have arrived.
Harry Bear's, a new local restaurant, will open the first week of April, Gary Potts, one of four owners said yesterday. The restaurant is named Stark St., the former site of Campus Hideaway.
Campus Hideaway, an Italian restaurant that was a popular hangout for KU students during the 1960s; closed last summer.
Harry Bear's will differ from other fast food restaurants, Potts said, because Harry Bear's gourmet burgers were not frozen hamburger patties. The restaurant will make its own pattys from fresh ground beef. The charcoal-broiled hamburgers will be cooked to order, and customers may choose from rare to well-done hamburgers.
Customers also may choose from several toppings, including grilled onions, sautéed onions, bacon, chili, guacamole and sour cream, he said.
POTTS SAID Harry Bear's would feature a five-ounce or 10-ounce burger served with six ounces of french fries. The hamburger and fries packages are priced under $3, Potts chips are included, include charcoal-broiled hot dogs, steaks, a salad bar, ice cream, malt and beer.
present a challenge to some of its customers — the Harry Bear's Grizzberry Challenge. Customers can receive a $12 meal free if they meet the challenge. If a customer can eat a 2-pound hamburger on an 12-inch bun and 1 pound of fries within a 45-minute time limit, they get their meal free, Potts said.
He said he had seen similar challenges at different restaurants across the country.
The restaurant's namesake and mascot is Harrison E. Bear Esq., better known as Harry Bear. A life-size billboard of Harry Bear — wearing a tuxedo and top hat and holding a burger in one paw and a beer in another — will be posted near the entrance, Potts said.
POTT'S EXPECTS Harry Bear's clientele to be students, families, and employees of downtown businesses.
"There's not really any place in Lawrence where you can get a good charcoal-broiled hamburger." Potts said. "There's a big burger market but there's nothing downtown. We thought it was a great idea."
The gourmet hamburger restaurant wil
Before Harry Bear's moved in, Campus Hideaway had its own niche downtown. The Italian restaurant was known not only for its pasta and pizza, but also for its nostalgia.
Gene Durham, a half-owner of Campus Hideaway from 1957 to 1977 was the sole owner from 1977 to 1982, said many KU
graduates came back to the restaurant during football season.
After 25 years of owning Campus Hideaway, Durham in 1982 sold it to North Star Corporation. Potts owned and managed the restaurant from 1982 to 1983. Bruce Scoural and Kate Dinnenne, a 180 KU graduate, then took over from 1983 to July 1984.
Dinneen, 822 Alabama St., said she remembered when her parents, KU graduates, took her to Campus Hideaway when she was growing up.
Jane Patrick, Lawrence sophomore, worked at the restaurant for Dineen and Scoular. She said KU graduates often visited away as they had when they were students.
Even though Campus Hideaway changed hands several times over the years, the name and the Italian menu remained the same.
Potts said he and his partners — Bob Laskey, Marvin Fine and Keith Robinson — decided to serve hamburgers because Lawrence has too many pizza establishments. The owners also decided to change the name of the restaurant.
Robinson said, "It was too associated with Italian food. We were going to a totally different menu so we made the change. It's a new restaurant, a new endeavor."
