Seventh hopeful eyes Commission position
By JAS STROHMAIER Staff Reporter
City Commissioner Howard Hill announced yesterday that he would run for a seat on the Lawrence City Commission, making him the seventh declared candidate in the race to fill the three seats opening this spring.
Hill's addition and the filing of three other residents for candidacy Monday makes it necessary to have a primary election Feb. 26 to reduce the field of candidates to six for the April 2 general election.
Hill, the 51-year director of KANU-FM, told about 20 people at his news conference that he would file for candidacy later this week.
In other commission business, the Lawrence City Commission last night unanimously approved issuing $16.5 million in general obligation bonds to refinance the city's outstanding bond debts.
CITY MANAGER BUFORD Watson said the city would save about $435,000 by issuing bonds to cover the current debt incurred by the city. The debt includes such city-financed projects as street repairs, park improvements and sidewalk repairs.
The commission also unanimously supported Stern Brothers & Co., a Kansas City, Mo., investment firm that originally proposed refinancing
the city's bond debts, to act as the city's agent to purchase U.S. Treasury securities to finance the new bonds.
At yesterday's conference, Hill, 3117 Tahawkam Drive, said in a prepared statement that he wished to continue to serve the community by promoting economic growth and enhancing the quality of life in Lawrence.
THIS WILL BE THE first election campaign Hill will face. The commission appointed him in May 1983, after Barkley Clark resigned.
Terry Summers, 42, 539 Tennessee
St.; Sandra Praeger, 42, 1087 Toulon
St.; and James Kerr, 42, 603 Third
St.; on Monday filed for
candidacy with the city clerk.
Summers, manager of a home typing, editing and graphics business called Word Artists, filed a petition with 92 signatures of registered voters. Praeger, currently chairman of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, and Hertsch, owner of Picture Works, 1246 Haskell, filed by paying the $120 filing fee.
Mona McCoy, 50, 516 W. Sixth St., director of Instruction Inc., 1910 Haskell Ave., Bob Pulliam, 57, 3727 Trail Road, a real estate agent for Stephens Real Estate and a former Bay Area real estate agent for Williams, 27, 901 Avon Rd., a KU graduate teaching assistant are the remaining candidates.

Group to give its proposals for program
Recommendations on the future of the radiation biophysics program, proposed for discontinuance last semester, will be revealed today by the University Council Committee on Academic Procedures and Policies.
F. Allen Hanson, professor of anthropology and the committee's chairman, planned to hold a news conference this week to announce the committee's recommendations.
Hanson said the committee finished its report on radiation helped lift awareness, Monday.
"We'll send reports to program faculty, the University Council and the vice chancellor for academic affairs Tuesday. We're right in the midst of this process now," Hanson said.
On Dec. 12, Robert Lineberry, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, formally requested that the university's physics program be discontinued.
the proposal to discontinue the radiation biophysics program began the first test of the University Senate's guidelines for discontinuance of a University program, which took effect last spring.
