Group changes expansion request
By MIKE GREEN Staff Reporter
A Muslim student group's request to expand its mosque was withdrawn last night at a Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.
Harned Ghazali, president of the Muslim Students' Association at the University of Kansas, withdrew his request and told the board he wished instead to demolish the building, at 1300 Ohio St., and build a new one the same size as the current one.
On Jan. 7, the group went before the board asking for permission to expand the present structure. The original plan was to remove some walls and expand the house to make
way for a large prayer room, Ghazali said.
THE DECISION WAS deferred for a month so the group could meet with the Oread Neighborhood Association to try to iron out some differences.
He also said the association didn't want the present building's exterior altered in any significant way.
"We want to preserve older buildings," Ruda said. "We don't want their character changed."
However, the neighborhood association disapproved of the plans. Alan Ruda, president of the organization, said he would appeal to support the expanded expansion.
At the meeting, Ghazali said another option would be to remove all the interior walls and leave the outer shell. However, after the meeting
Ghazali said that the group wanted to build a new structure and that he thought the group would start drawing up a design with an architect.
The house is used for worship and lectures, Ghazali said. He said the walls inside the house made it difficult to use for these purposes.
There was some confusion at the meeting when Ghazali asked the board if he needed its permission to build a new structure.
David Gunter, city planner, said that if the structure were demolished, the site then would become undeveloped property and the group would need to have a site plan approved by the Lawrence City Commission before it could build a new structure.
State pay raise plan attacked
By NANCY HANEY
Staff Reporter
KU classified employees must address legislators both independently and as a group if they want to get a fair increase in salaries this year, the director of the Kansas Association or Public Employees said last night.
Charles Dodson, the director,
spoke to nearly 50 state public
employees at the Lawrence Public
Library, 707 Vermont St., about
the need to be heard in Topeka concerning
Gov. John Carlin's recommendations for state employee pay raises.
Carlin's budget recommendations include a cost of living raise for all state employees. A decision on the raise will not be made until spring,
after the legislature decides the state of the economy.
Dodson said the governor's plan also would give benefits to employees who have had up to 15 years of service. For employees who have worked longer, he said, there were no increases.
"WHAT THEY ARE saying, is that it is cheaper to get rid of employees with experience and replace them with new ones." he said.
A merit pay plan also is included in the governor's plan. These plans are based on job performance ratings employees receive from their supervisors. The higher the rating the employee receives, the greater the raise.
Dodson said his organization would like to see the merit pay plan replaced by a guaranteed annual step program. Under the step program, an employee would be evaluated on a satisfactory or unsatisfactory scale. If the employee were found to be satisfactory, he or she would receive a raise of a set amount.
HE ALSO SAID State Rep. Sandy Duncan, R-Wichita, would hold a public hearing from noon to 1 p.m. Feb. 18 in the old Supreme Court chambers at the Capitol. He encouraget the state employees to attend.
Dodson said Kansas was the 12th-richest state in per capita income, but the state employee military ranking was 36th in the nation.
Dodson said the proposal to give a 7 percent pay raise to faculty and student employees while classified as non-qualified was not a fair plan. 5 percent raise was not a fair plan.
