Demolition request would clear center's way
By CECILIA MILLS Staff Reporter
A request by the University of Kansas to demolish seven old buildings and sheds to clear a site for a proposed Human Development Center will go before the facilities committee of the Board of Regents today in Toeka.
Facilities operations, which uses the seven buildings, was planning to move its offices even if the committee does not approve them. A director of facilities planning said yesterday.
Allen Wiechert, the director, said facilities operations would move the following offices to other campus locations: the temporary landscaping office building, the temporary Venetian blind repair shop, the landscaping office building, the temporary laboratory building, the facilities operations employee building and the University garage.
WIECHERT SAID the proposal to destroy the buildings had to be approved first by the Regents and then by the Legislature before the creation of the Human Development Center.
The buildings are located on Sunyside Avenue and Worth Hall and across from the Computer.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., announced in October that $9 million in federal funds had been allocated for the center, which will provide research and training for the education, rehabilitation and treatment of handicapped people.
Wiechert said most of the offices would move to a previously undeveloped site on West Campus, but some of the operations would find new homes on the main campus.
Wiechert said the area where the seven buildings were now had always been marked
"It may be that we don't need to tear down all these," Weecht said, "but that is the

proposed site for the center, should it come along and be funded.
THE SEVEN BUILDINGS that may be destroyed also contain offices that belong to the human development program, Wiechert said. These would have to move temporarily until the center was completed.
Wiechert said the employee building was built in 1920 and was the oldest one scheduled to be demolished. The motor pool, which provides cars for department needs, and the time cards used by facilities operations are located in the employee building.
The time cards should stay on campus,
these said but the motor pool could
relocate them.
One of the seven buildings, a semicircular structure with a corrugated metal roof, was built during World War II as a temporary military hut, Wiechert said. The Quonset hut
now contains a laboratory that will move to the Haworth Hall addition.
"That was going to be relocated anyway. It's not like we're displacing anyone." Wiechert said. None of the buildings have been altered ability. They'll virtually have to be demolished."
Wiechert said the University would detail the mobilization plan during the next two weeks.
The Regents also will decide today whether the architectural architect for the renovation of the Kansas University is
James Long, union director, said the Regents wanted an architectural plan for the renovation that would keep the Union open and give it a more distinctive look to stay within the $5 million projected budget.
The architect probably will finish the plan by June or July, Long said. Renovation will not begin until the summer of 1986. Some information for this story was provided
Book trading reorganized for referrals
By NANCY HANEY Staff Renorter
Staff Reporter
The student-run book exchange designed last semester to eliminate the 25 percent markup of campus bookstores was changed to allow 25 percent markup by organizers of the exchange said yesterday.
The exchange, backed by the Association of University Residence Halls and campus living groups, originally was to run on a point system. Students who wanted to participate in the exchange listed the classes they would take and books they would contribute to the system.
Each book a student contributed would have received two points for every dollar the book was worth at the present purchase price.
But Tom Van Holt, a Rochester, N.Y., senior who organized the exchange in November, said the point system didn't work out as well as planned. Book exchange workers entered point values into the APRH use of which a use of which AURH donated to the exchange
"THE PROBLEM WAS the computer couldn't match the matching up." Van Holl said. "Even if the computer could, it was just too much work for the exchange."
Scott Francis, Fresno, Calif., senior, said he and other organizers of the exchange tried to iron out the problems for five days during December.
Organizers decided to match up students with common classes and let them work out an exchange on their own. The students were notified through the mail.
About 400 people received referral letters. Van Holt said.
Although Van Holl said he didn't know how many students would use the referral service, he said he thought the system would be a success if at least half of the students used it system. If this happened, he said, he estimated that at least $4,000 would be saved.
FRANCIS SAID, "We got a late start with the sororites and fraternities. I think we would have had better support if we had more time."
James Jeffrey, AURH president, agreed that the exchange could have worked better if organizers had started earlier in the semester.
THE KANSAS UNION Bookstore provided the student volunteers a master list of books ordered by professors for spring semester classes. The book exchange organizers used this list to accept books that would be used during this semester.
Along with its endorsement and the use of its computer, AURH allocated $1,300 to the system for the installation.
"We'll probably help them again. If 400 people were able to realize a benefit, then

TV 30 to begin broadcasting tomorrow
By BETH REITER

Starting tomorrow night, students will have a new form of entertainment. Lawrence's first low-power TV station broadcasts the program to KU students.
TV 30 will begin broadcasting at 9 p.m. tomorrow with a sign on celebration at the Alvamar Golf & Country Club, 1809 Crossgate. The station will sign off at 2 a.m. Sunday and begin broadcasting again at 6 a.m.
"Lawrence needs free local television, someplace you can turn on to when a tornado comes by, for local information, road conditions." Kaitch said.
The bulk of the station's local newcastles will be controlled by KU students who will have a rare opportunity to test their broadcasting skills, Katch said. Students will report, edit, produce, direct, operate cameras and do sales promotion.
TEN STUDENTS IN broadcast journalism will comprise the news staff at TV 30 under the supervision of Dennis McCullock, the TV 30 news director. The
students will be working as part of their advanced broadcast reporting class.
Bill Winter. Hutchinson graduate student, one of the students who will be working for the station, said it would be his first professional experience.
"I actually graduated in December, but I decided to take this to better prepare me," she said.
"You can make your mistakes while
you are at TV 30, and you won't make
queen."
Faculty members, the news director or graduate assistants will edit all copy before it goes on the air, said Max Utler, associate professor of radio, television and
Utsler used newscasts to be at noon and every hour from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
UTSLER BOTH the television station and the University of Kansas would benefit from the operation. In return for the lab experience broadcast students would receive, Utsler said, KU was able to move 30 to broadcast from its KANU tower.
People in the Lawrence area can receive the channel by turning their UHF tuning
knob to 30. For more information about recoction, call 841-8830.
The signal for TV 30 will extend in a 20-mile radius from Lawrence. In about 100 days, Katich said, TV 30 will broadcast to Toeka through channel 40.
TV 30 will broadcast from 6 a.m. to midnight on weekdays. TV 30 might broadcast until 2 or 3 a.m. on weekends, and then until 30-90 days. TV 30 will broadcast 24 hours.
TV 30 is owned by Low Power Technology Inc. of Austin, Texas. It was granted a license to broadcast in February 1964. The station had expected to start broadcasting last December, but construction work to prepare the KANU tower for TV 30 delayed the station's first broadcast.
Katich said the station's programming would target a specific audience — mostly people with hearing loss.
"People are more sophisticated in their taste now. TV is starting to 'narrowcast,' just like radio has in the past," Katich said.
Some of the programming will include performances by local artists, Kaitch said.
