City votes to let group buy books
A Lawrence neighborhood association will be allowed to use leftover special project money to buy books and store them in an elementary school library, the Lawrence City Commission decided last night.
The Commission voted 4-1 to approve the request from the East Lawrence Improvement Association. The Longhurst voted against the proposal.
The Commission approved the neighborhood association's proposal to use the unspent money, totaling $1,009, which had accumulated over the last few years, to buy books for the library. The books will be stored in the library of the New York Elementary School, 936 New York St.
Stephen Bunch, 1005 Rhode Island St., spoke in favor of the proposal. He said the neighborhood association wanted to place the books in the school library to make them most accessible for children in the area. He also said it would be a good example of a school-neighborhood relationship.
LONGHURST SAID THAT providing books was important, but that the city was not responsible for purchasing them for school libraries. The school district has certain responsibilities, he said, as does the city.
"We already support a public library," Longhurst said. If the city started financing books for schools,
he said, it might become difficult to deny similar requests.
In its written proposal, the neighborhood association said it realized that the money was not supposed to supplement the school district budget.
Commissioner Howard Hill said he hoped using the money in this manner didn't set a precedent. He challenged the local school board to match the $1,000 amount to help the New York school.
Mayor Ernest Angino said he didn't see any significant problems with the neighborhood association's action because it was to benefit the people in East Lawrence.
Taxi service for game proposed
By MICHELLE T. JOHNSON Staff Reporter
Providing a taxi service for the KU — K-State basketball game in Lawrence on Feb. 20 was proposed last night at Hashinger Hall during the semester's first Association of University Residence Hall's general assembly meeting.
Mark Unger, AURH vicepresident, said he had proposed the resolution to establish a taxi service for residents between residence halls and bars on the night of the basketball game. No doubt serving. If the service is successful, it may be used at other games.
Unger said he had made an arrangement with Yellow Cab Co. of
Lawrence to charge a flat rate of $2.50 up for five residents to ride in each taxi with the cost shared by AURH and bar managers.
Some assembly members voiced concern about the idea.
"I BELIEVE THAT it promotes irresponsibility because the means to get there have been provided," said Brenda Burkett, Kansas City, Kan., junior. "I want people to know that I want them to drink and drive."
But James Jeffley, AURH president, disagreed.
"If we can provide the opportunity for people to still have a good time and not take their lives and their friends' lives into their own hands, then we've done them a favor," Jeffley said.
Also at the meeting, the general assembly nominated and appointed Unger as the Elections Committee to vote in the AURH elections March 4 and 5.
at the next general assembly meeting in two weeks.
The taxi resolution will be voted on
UNGER, WHO SAID before his appointment that he wanted the chairmanship, said he would not run for any AURH office in the next election. But because he now serves as AURH vice president, Unger offered to decline the nomination for committee chairman if any general assembly members disapproved.
In other business, Jeffrey said he wanted to establish an AURH scholarship program to provide academic scholarships and community service scholarships for residents.
