Lonborg remembered for warmth, kindness
Py CECILIA MILLS Staff Reporter
Those who knew him said Arthur C. "Dutch" Lomborg, athletic director from 1960 to 1964, was not only a great man in athletics, but also a man of humor, warmth and kindness.
Lonborg died at his home in Lawrence on Thursday afternoon after a long illness. He was
Many of Lonborg's friends remember him from his early days as a three-sport athlete at the University of Kansas and later as head at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.
The funeral for Lonlong will be at 10 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist Church, 1299 Vermont Ave.
While attending KU, Lonborg, known as "Dutch" by all, lettered in football, basketball and baseball and gained nationwide attention. Lonborg also was a member of
Former chancellor Raymond Nichols became friends with Lonborg in college.
"I KNEW DUTCH for 50 years. We'd be fraternity brothers," Nichols said Saturday. "I think of him as a warm individual, with affection and friends all over the United States."
In 1950, Nichols made the phone call to Evanston that brought Lonborg back to KU from Northwestern. Nichols arranged Lonborg's job interview with Deane W. Malot, who was chancellor at the time. Lonborg was hired in 1962 and served for his retirement before the 1964-65 school year.
While at Northwestern, Lonborg helped found the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament in 1939. He served as chairman of the tournament for 14 years.

"HE LOVED education, sports and working with young people." Krische said. "His call from God was to be in education and athletics."
Elfriede Rowe, a lifelong friend of Lonborg's, knew him when he was a KU student and when he was coach at Northwestern
"Iowe to go with a boy in his fraternity," itowe said. "Dutch was two years younger than Iowe."
July 30, 1924. Lonborg married Edna Stansberger in Horton.
"He was madly in love with Edna. They were high school sweethearts," Rowe said.
"He was always a gentleman," Rowe said, and "loyal as a friend. I don't think he had an enemy. He had a hearty laugh. He was very firm but always with a smile or laugh."
ROWE SAID SHE and her husband, Ivan, knew no one when they moved to Evanston in the 1920s. Rowe said the Lonborg started taking them to all the athletic events.
"I remember the first time we were going to go to a football game," Rowe said. "Dutch told Ivan to drive and pick Dutch and Edna to watch." The game was also a traffic cone would wave and say Hi, Dutch.
"It was just like having a police escort. Even the traffic cops in the Envista area jumped up."
Rowe said that after she and her husband moved back to Lawrence in 1930, they kept in touch with the Lonborgs. In 1950, Lonborgs married and the Lonborgs returned to Lawrence.
‘Most of the people living in Lawrence were unable to return their kindness. Now they are able to return their kindness.’

Laurence Woodruff, former KU dean of students, said Lonborg had been one of his best friends.
"HE WAS VERY popular with the coaches and the players," Woodruff said. "His popularity was due to his fairness with people at the University. At least he didn't medle."

Former Senate committee member questions new rule

Staff Reporter
A Student Senate Finance Committee policy that limits speaking time of noncommittee members during meetings may have to be changed a former committee member and vested yesterday.
The policy, adopted last week, says non-committee members cannot speak at Finance Committee meetings except when making presentations to request funds. The Finance Committee makes recommendations to Senate on financing student organizations.
Sandra Binyon, former Finance Committee member, said, "Unless the committee adopts another change, this policy could be a problem. It could delay decision-making
because people in the committee will be arguing whether they can ask non-committee members a question.
THE SPEAKING policy allows non-committee members to speak before a meeting begins if they have received permission from Tim Henderson, Finance Committee chairman. Permission will be granted on a first come, first served basis.
"So many people on the Finance Committee are new and they need to be able ask questions."
Non-committee members who speak at meetings are usually representatives of student organizations requesting Senate funds. The policy states that a maximum of four people from each organization may speak at one meeting.
Henderson said last week that the policy was adoted to make the meetings more
"THE FINANCE Committee deals with controversial issues. People feel strongly about receiving funds, and meetings can get emotional and out of hand," he said.
Luca Jellinek, a member of the Finance Committee for the last five semesters, said he thought the policy was a good idea that would prevent meetings from being chaotic.
efficient and help all groups receive fair consideration.
"I think the policy will prevent haggling and discussion while still retaining some answers."
Any O'Reilly, Student Senate treasurer, said, "It's a little unfair that time can't be yielded to non-committee members.
"If someone is confused and verification is needed — no time can be yielded."
Lynn Anthony, former Student Senate
treasurer, said she was also concerned that people wouldn't be able to answer questions.
"Last year it was helpful to have people in issue issues. People can do this it could downsize."
Ruth Lichtwart, president of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, said, "It isn't terribly fair if groups can't have time yielded to them. Some rules are somewhat like this, but the other ones are more appropriate."
The Finance Committee will hear presentations by revenue code groups requesting Senate funds 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
Revenue code groups are large organizations such as the Associated Students of Kansas and KJHK-FM that request large amounts of money and serve many students.
Bomb blast wounds 78 in Athens
59 Americans hurt; explosion is latest in series of attacks
By United Press International
ATHENS, Greece — A homemade time bomb, possibly slipped beneath a counter, ripped through a bar crowded with U.S. servicemen and injured 78 people, including 59 Americans, officials said yesterday.
The explosion Saturday night was the latest incident in a rising wave of terrorism across Europe directed at NATO and U.S. military installations.
Thirty of the injured U.S. servicemen were hospitalized, two in serious condition, police and military officials said. Twenty-nine military slight injuries and were not hospitalized.
Nineteen other people of various nationalities, including five Greeks, were injured, police said.
THE BOMB NEARLY leveled "Bobby's Bar," a tavern frequented by American servicemen in the seaside suburb of Glyfada, about two miles from the Hellinikon Air Base operated by the United States. Police said as many as 200 patrons were in the bar at the time.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast.
"A bomb crater near one of the building's pillars, parts of a watch and pieces of wire indicate that the explosion was caused by a homemade time device," a police spokesman said.
A witness who requested anonymity said he noticed a "dark-skinned man" leave a package under a counter in the center of the building, and he said the bomb exploded just before midnight.
WITNESSES AT the scene said the wooden facade of the building and most of the interior was destroyed. About 30 policemen guarded the bar yesterday while investigators searched through piles of broken glass for more clues.
Sgt. Linda Flythe, public information officer at the air base, said 13 servicemen suffering from burns and puncture wounds were flown to Landstuhl Army Medical Center in West Germany because "their injuries warrant that facility."
"They are in good stable condition with a good prognosis." she said.
Seventeen others were treated at the Hellmink base hospital and a local Greek heath center.
Relations between Greece and the United States have become strained in recent years. Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou pledged Greek withdrawal from the Common Market and NATO and the removal of U.S. troops from Greece when he took office in 1983.
Last week Papandreu pledged to have U.S. nuclear missiles removed from Greece.
In the last few weeks, terrorists have staged more than 60 bombing and arson attacks on NATO or military targets in Iraq and Syria, where they invade in an apparently coordinated campaign.
In West Germany, the Red Army Faction claimed responsibility for Friday's killing of a West German armaments executive. On Jan. 25, the terrorist group Direct Action claimed responsibility for the slaying of a French general.

KUPD updates patrol cars; fleet hits streets this week
By KATHY FLANDERS Staff Reporter
There's a new look to the KU police. They're cruising in new 1985 Ford LTD's, and hope to have all five new cars on the road by mid-week.
James R. Denney, director of police, said the department put the first car on the road Thursday, and two more went on patrol the last two should be rolling by Wednesday.
The lowest statewide bid came from Laird
noller Ford, 23rd and Alabama streets. The
other winners were Terry Kendrick and

The new cars are 1,000 pounds lighter
"We filled out a purchase requisition in September," Denney said Friday. "We put down what we use the car for, but couldn't name a brand. We saw what cars met the specifications we put down, and took the lowest bid."
DENNEE SAID THE cars being replaced were 1982 Ford LTD four-door sedans. He said the only difference was that the 1982 vehicle was sized while the new models were mid-sized.
than the old ones," Denney said, "and that will increase the gas mileage.
"When a car is new, we get about 12 to 14 miles per gallon. When they age, we only get about 4 to 7 miles per gallon. We trade about every two years, when the cars have 70,000 to 80,000 miles on them. That's what we had on these cars.
*As maintenance costs go up and we get
loan gas mileage, we go ahead and buy new car
Denney said that in the past, the department sold the cars and bought new ones. This time, the police traded in the old cars for new ones in trade in $2,000 per car, which he said saved money.
HE SAID THE department bought the cars with some extras — heavy-duty suspension, heavy-duty electrical system, heavy-duty brakes, high-quality tires and an instrument package that includes a speedometer that is more accurate than conventional ones.
"It costs a couple of hundred more at first, but saves a lot of money in the long run." Denney said. "Before we bought the police package, we would put in at least two
