Residents face $20 fine for roaches
Bv PATRICIA SKALLA

A $20 fee will be charged to Stouffer Place residents who leave roaches behind when they move, the director of housing said last night at a hearing of the Stouffer Neighbourhood Association.
J. J. Wilson, the director, said the purpose of the fine, which would be charged only to residents who had not tried to exterminate the pests, was to have everyone "show interests and attempts to join in the campaign for eradication."
Fabricio Balcazar, chairman of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association, said he met with Wilson to discuss the charge, found it unacceptable and received any complaints from any residents.
Wilson said the fine was intended to encourage residents to make extra efforts to get the apartments cleaned up for the next tenants.
The feeding stations would be used in addition to the monthly spraying for roaches, which also is free, Willmann said.
Joe William, assistant director of housing, said the fine was part of a new extermination campaign that also included use of "feeding stations" where people would be free to Stouffer Place residents.
Balcazaar said he knew of one apartment in which the residents could not turn on the oven because the odor of burning roaches was too horrible. In another case, he said, the roaches were everywhere, including in the family's clothing.
Wilson said, "We're not after that charge." Instead, it will serve as an inducement to remain on a pest control program.
Lumley said the fine and the convenience of the feeding stations would provide added incentive to exterminate the roaches.
Ruth Lumley, resident hall manager of Stouffer Place, said that although residents had not complained continually of roaches, some apartments did have serious problems. Therefore, the housing department wanted to start a continual extermination program.
Balaczar said that if the residents didn't care to use the feeding stations or spraying, neighbors would be affected. Residents will have to illustrate some concern to avoid the fine, he said.
Everything came up roses for Laura Moore, above, Lawrence junior and employee of University Floral, 2103 W. 28th St. Terrace. Chad and Sylvia Lawton, owners of the flower shop, said yesterday that although they bought 3,000 roses for Valentine's Day, business was more than they could handle. Balloons declaring one's affections are becoming as fashionable as flowers and chocolate on Valentine's Day. Tena Santaularia, owner of Balloons 'N More, 603 Vermont St., said she expected to be busy today filling balloon orders for special valentines.

Computer terminates sleepy interview lines
Staff Reporter
By CINDY McCURRY
The days of waiting in long lines to sign up for interviews are over for business students. The placement center at the School of Business has turned to computerized sign-up to avoid the early morning lines.
in past semesters, business students started waiting outside Summerfield Hall as early as 2 a.m. to sign up a week in advance with recruiters from visiting companies.
Beginning this semester, students can fill out an interview request form in the placement center as early as two weeks before a company is scheduled to interview, Fred Madaus, placement director for the School of Business, said yesterday.
"There is no need to stand in line now," Maudesa said. "It doesn't matter if they bring their form in at 8 Monday morning or at 8:59 Thursday.
"STUDENTS HAVE ENOUGH things to do. Sleep is better for them than sitting out there in the cold."
Susan Parrish, Big Piney, Wyo., senior,
said, "I think it works a lot better from our
standpoint. At first I was hesitant, but I've
gotten all the interviews I've requested so
Under the old system, students signed up on a first-come-first-served basis. Now students turn request forms in between 8 a.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Thursday. This week students were requesting interviews with companies scheduled to be at the placement center the week of Feb. 25.
"I like it because it's much more organized," said John Andrew, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior. "The business office is very helpful in getting us interviews the fairest way possible."
Students can request four interviews a week in order of preference. The form also allows them to request preferred time slots that are available.
If the student is not qualified to interview for a job, the computer will ignore his or her request. If the student is qualified, the computer compiles the students' company priorities, time priorities, number of previous interviews and a random number and produces an interview schedule.
"Logically, if one student has had 15 interviews and another has only had one, the
student with one would get the chance to interview. It usually works out that way, but not always." Madaus said.
EACH WEDNESDAY, THE placement center updates a student master file of students who are interested in interviewing. There are about 350 students in the master file, Madaus said. The center also has a master file of about 100 companies.
"Not everyone is pleased," Madaus said. "There are some people that would rather get up at 4 in the morning to make sure they got the schedule they wanted."
Maddus said the business school bought the sign-up computer program from Iowa State University. Payless Cashways paid for 60 percent of the Zenith-100 computer and printer, he said. The placement center covered the remaining cost.
County to proceed with study of interchange
Staff Reporter

Douglas County will go ahead with plans to finance a study to determine the best location for a new Kansas Turnpike interchange in Douglas County. Commissioner Nancy Hillebrand and wendysta
On Monday, the County Commission voted to help Lawrence finance the study, which is expected to cost about $15,000. In Tuesday's Lawrence City Commission meeting, a proposal to have the city pay for half of the study was defeated.
the county already had voted to finance the study in Monday's meeting, no matter what the city decided to do. She said the motion, as well as the vote, would finance either all or part of the study.
County Commissioner David Hopper said the proposal for the city to split the cost was less than $50,000.
"The city is an entity of its own." Hopper said. "They're completely within their rights. There are no hard feelings."
County Commissioner Warren Rhodes said he was surprised that the City Commission had not approved the motion to finance half of the study. Rhodes, in the County Commission meeting Monday, voted against
County Commissioner Nancy Hiebert said
financing a new study on the proposed interchange.
HE ALSO SAID that he doubted a $15,000 study would be comprehensive enough to answer the many engineering questions involved in building a new interchange.
Last Thursday, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce asked the city and county to finance an updated study on the best location for the interchange.
In 1980, a study financed by the city and county recommended building the interchange near Lecompton. But the Chamber of Commerce in its proposal said economic growth in Douglas County merited a new study.
STEVE GLASS. A chamber member, said yesterday that the chamber wanted a new study done to show the Kansan school district in Douglass County could support an interchange.
One site proposed by the chamber would place the interchange directly north of County Road 13, which provides access to Clinton Lake. This site is two miles closer to Lawrence than the Lecompton site.
Glass said that the Clinton Lake and Lecompton sites would be studied but that the chamber thought the Clinton Lake site might be the better location.
Hiebert also said the study would examine both sites.
