Greeks to party despite setback
By MIKE GREEN Staff Reporter
A large party along Stewart Avenue probably will take place April 12 despite a decision Tuesday by the Lawrence City Commission for the event, the leader of the party, planning the party said yesterday.
Doug Keller, leader of the group and Garden City junior, said the committee would try to work out a plan for the residents who had objected to the party.
Tuesday night, city commissioners refused a request from the Greek houses sponsoring the event to close Stewart Avenue for the party. The commission heard complaints from representatives of residents living to the north of Stewart Avenue who recalled past problems with parties in the area.
Six fraternities and one sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, are sponsoring the party, which would benefit Hilltop Child Development Center on campus. The fraternites are: Alpha Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Theta and Tau Kappa Epsilon
KELLER, A MEMBER of Tau Kappa Epsilon, said the committee would try to meet with the neighbors in the next few days to work out a
solution. He said the committee would propose hiring off-duty policemen to prevent guests from walking across the residents' lawns.
If the students and neighbors find a solution, Keller said, the committee would make another request to have the street closed.
Keller said the committee had made extensive plans to avoid potential problems. He said that the group planned to stop music and beer at 11:30 p.m. and have all the guests gone by midnight.
Keller said he wanted to resolve any differences because he wanted the party to become an annual event. He said he would want an important part of the party's plan.
"We want to use the street because
the party will be more successful."
beats.
HE SAID THAT if the Greeks and neighbors weren't able to resolve their differences, the party probably would take place in a parking lot of one of the fraternities. Several fraternities have parking lots between Stewart Avenue and Iowa Street.
Brad Dick, 1745 W. 20th St., on Tuesday told the commissioner that he had a petition with signatures of more than two thousand who opposed closing Stewart Avenue.
"I think the city refusing their request was a very positive thing," Dick said yesterday. "They recognize there are problems that need to be dealt with."
Dick said he had filed complaints with the City Commission last fall about the problems caused by parties on Stewart Avenue. But he said he was willing to work this year with the Greek houses to try to find a solution.
DICK SAID HE was notified by Commission Howard Hill last week that the request was going to be on Tuesday's agenda. He said all but one of his councillors had surrounded streets whom he had talked to had signed his petition.
Hill said he alerted Dick about the proposal because he was aware of previous complaints about parties on Stewart Avenue. Hill said he had received late night phone calls after a party there last fall.
Hill said he thought the idea of the neighbors and the Greeks meeting to talk over their difficulties was the best answer to the problem.
He said that if the Greek houses could resolve their problems with the neighbors, the commission probably would approve a request to close the church.
Keller said he had been unaware of neighbor complaints about noise and other problems. He said he had not expected neighbors to be at the commission meeting to argue against the proposal.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said she also had received complaints.

lessness the day you realize that you
will die, she said.
Dan Lykins, Topeka, endorsed the bill on behalf of the Kansas Head Injury Association and said it promised to up to $25 for failure to wear a helmet.
The bill would also make failing to wear a helmet a moving violation.
