Shirt sale to aid city flood victims
Designer says tour of North Lawrence spawned his idea
By Katie Greenwald
Kansan staff writer
A T-shirt might not make a great sandbag, but it could help Lawrence flood victims.
Midwest Graphics Inc., 500 E. 2:3rd St., has designed a T-shirt that will be sold to benefit the victims of the July 10 flood.
Chuck Sinks, sales manager for the store, said that the shirts would sell for $10, and that half of the profits would be donated to the Douglas
County Chapter of the American Red Cross. The other half will be used to cover costs to the graphics company and retailers, he said.
Sinks said that the goal was to raise $10,000 and that all of the proceeds would stay in Lawrence. He said he the shirts would sell for a few weeks.
"We were just driving through North Lawrence, and we saw all the yuck and realized that these people would need help," he said.
Jo Byers, director of the Red Cross in Douglas County, said flood victims would receive assistance in the form of vouchers. After victims apply for assistance, their needs will be assessed and the Red Cross will write a voucher to a store of the victim's choice. Then the victim can take the
voucher to that store in exchange for products. The store will return it to the Red Cross, which will reimburse the store.
"We can't replace everything that's been lost, but we can determine what they need."
Byers said victims would be given money only for what they needed.
T-shirts can be purchased at Alvin's IGA, 101 Iowa St.; Checkers Foods, 2300 Louisiana St.; Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.; Kmart, 3106 Iowa St.; Roger's Food Center, 608 N. Second St.; and the Kansas Union Bookstores. Radio stations KLZR and KLWN and Cable Channel Six also are sponsoring the T-shirt sale.
Storms cause costly damage to city trees

July's storms have taken a lot of trees and some beauty from South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets.
Fred DeVictor, Lawrence director of parks and recreation, said South Park's trees had suffered damage estimated at $35,000.
Total damage to trees in Lawrence's parks and along city streets since a storm July 2 has been estimated at $80,300. Deviant said.
Cleanup has cost the city more than $35,000, and $44,000 may be spent before the work is done, he said.
DeVictor said replacement of the full-grown trees with younger ones would cost an estimated $52,000.
"We don't have that kind of money in our budget to replace those trees," he
The city budgets about $25,000 a
year for tree addition and replacement, he said.
Many of the damaged trees were big and old, and normally they would be replaced by trees that are only about 6 inches in diameter. DeVictor said.
"There's a loss that you have that will never be replaced," he said. "We just start over again."
Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations, said the University of Kansas had not suffered as much damage.
The biggest problem at KU was water leaking into buildings, he said. The main expense was paying employees overtime to clean up the
He said 17 trees at an estimated value of $1200 were damaged dur-
DeVictor said he hoped the city's new trees would be around for future generations to enjoy.
Former journalism professor dies at 92
Kansan staff report
Thomas "Mickie" Rythe, a former KU journalism professor, died last Thursday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. He was 92.
Ryther, who graduated from KU in 1926, was superintendent of the KU Printing Service and part-time faculty member in the journalism school for 16 years. He became a full-time associate professor of journalism in 1966 and retired four years later.
After retiring, he volunteered at the Spencer Research Library and indexed the contents of more than 70 boxes of University papers and letters. He also made a reference file of every article printed in the University Daily Kansas since 1935. In another project, he compiled a 20,000-name list of all Kansas athletes since 1890.
For his volunteer work, Rythre received an award of excellence from the Kansas City Area Archivists in 1988 for over 18.000 hours of volunteer work.
