City won't close street for party
Plans for a campus-wide party on Stewart Avenue ran into problems last night when the Lawrence City Commission unanimously refused a request to close the street.
The request to close Stewart Avenue for the party was made by representatives from some of the parties that were invited even after the party was scheduled for April 12.

But these promises weren't good enough for some of the neighbors. Brad Dick, 1745 W. 20th St., said he had experienced contirpual problems from parties thrown by the Greek houses on Stewart Avenue.
One of the organizers of the party, Richard Hayes, Wilmette, III., sophomore who lives at 1911 Stewart Ave.
told the commission that extensive precautions were going to be taken for the event. He said there would be people on duty during the party to prevent guests from walking through nearby residents' yards.
DICK SAID during previous parties, the fraternities had promised to post guards to prevent people from walking across lawns, and this didn't work. He also complained about the
parties continuing past their stated ending times.
Mayor Ernest Angio reminded the neighbors that the commission was only voting on whether to close Stewart Avenue. He said the commission couldn't prevent the party from occurring.
The proceeds from the sale of tickets to the party are scheduled to go to the KU Hilltop Child Development Center.
Hayes said after the meeting that the party would probably still take place. But he said the organizers would talk to the neighbors to try to solve the potential problems.

Communities in several states
Smith said 16 states had now made formal proposals.
Majority Leader Bob Dole, who was the host of the session, called it a very worthwhile meeting.
"Governor Carlin made a good statement supporting a Kansas location," he said, "and some members were able to come out in support of specific locations."
