Officials seek parkway funds
By Todd Seifert
Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has asked its members and other citizens to write their U.S. legislators to show support for the proposed Eastern Parkway.
The chamber published the addresses of Senators Bob Dole and Nancy Kassebaum and Representative Jan Meyers in its April newsletter.
The proposed parkway would run northwest from Kansas Highway 10 and Noria Road to Seventh Street.
"The Eastern Parkway has been a top priority for a long time." said Gary Toebben, president of the chamber. "For a number of years we have believed it is a necessary roadway that will help move people around town."
Lawrence voters approved $4 million for the project in 1990. The project has been estimated to cost between $14 million and $15 million.
"The Eastern Parkway would be good for the downtown." Toebbien said. "That's one of the reasons we support it. If it's more convenient to get downtown, you probably would have more business."
Bob Schultle, mayor; John Nalbandian, vice mayor; and Bob Summum, a city commissioner, lobbied for the parkway while they were in Washington, D.C., early last month as part of the annual Congress of Cities conference.
Schulte said the three talked to Doie and Meyers about supporting the project.
"We think we did a good job of convincing our delegation that this is a project worth funding," he said. "I think they understand that this is important to our city."
Schulte said the city was asking for about $8 million. The rest of the needed money probably could be obtained from the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Schaite said the funds would have to come from the Transportation Appropriations Bill that will be
An attic in Dole's Washington office said the senator agreed with the City Commission that the parkway was a worthwhile project.
Dole had placed the parkway at the top of his priority list for state projects, the official said.
Toebben said he was confident that the area's representatives would work hard for the parkway.
"Our representatives care," he said. "They want to help their constituents like everyone else."
Students flee basic courses
Traditionally, Math 101 and English 101 have determined whether a student belongs at KU. But some students have eliminated the possibility of being "weeded out" by taking the courses at a junior or community college.

The exodus to community colleges is partly because of perceived myths that the classes are easier at community colleges and that the instruction is more personalized at community colleges, professors at KU and Johnson County Community College said.
Erin Kessler, Pataline, ill, sophomore, said that Math 101 at KU did not offer the structure and instruction that she needed. Facing the threat of being disenrolled because she had not completed 101 by her sophomore year, she took Math 101 at a community college in her hometown last summer.
Joe DiCostanzo, director of math at Johnson County Community College, said that he saw many KU students taking Math 101 at JCCC.
DiCostanzo said that the personalized instruction at JCCC was the prime reason students took its course. And all the Math 101
instructors have at least masters degrees in mathematics, he said.
At KU, 16 Math 101 instructors are undergraduates.
Charles Himmelberg, head of the math department at KU, said that enrollment was high in the Math 101 program and that the department did not mind losing a few 101 students to a community college.
"Of course we feel more confident that we can prepare students better for higher math courses if they take 101 at KU," he said.
Jack Orch, associate director of freshman and sophomore English at KU, said that often students perceived English 101 would be easier at a junior or community college.
But Bill Lamb, program director of writing, literature and media communication at JCCC, said that the department worked closely with KU to make sure that the class was on the same track as English 101 at KU.
Lamb said part of the reason students may choose JCCC over KU is that all the professors have master's degrees in English and have teaching experience.
At KU, many of the instructors are graduate teaching assistants with an undergraduate degree in English, Oruch said.
Senate approves child-care fee

Putting politics aside, student senators last night compromised and rallied behind a bill for implementing a restricted fee that would generate money to expand Hilltop Child Development Center.
"We've been trying to raise support for this, and it has been an uphill battle," said Kristen Lange, off-campus senator. "If students don't stand up for child care, it won't be there."
Provisions of the bill, which could generate about one-third a million dollars for the purpose of expanding Hilltop, would require students enrolled in six or more hours to pay $2 a semester from Fall 1994 through Spring 1996. For Fall 1996 through Spring 1999, the fee would drop to $1. Students enrolled in fewer than six hours would pay a fee proportional to their number of hours.
can be implemented.
Lange said she thought the University had ignored the child-care issue and said she wanted the fee to be put on the Board of Regents' agenda this month to be consideration for next Fall. The Regents must approve the fee before it
But Jason McIntosh, liberal arts and sciences senator, said that the Regents legislation deadline had been maissed and that the plan could be improved if Senate could work on it next year.
Senators wanting immediate action and those looking for matching funds agreed to ask the Regents to consider the fee for next Fall, and if they failed, would allow a fee advisory board to push for matching fees from the University for Fall 1994.
Joan Reiber, director of Hilltop, said the center was serving 168 children now and had 282 on a waiting list. She said the center was looking to rent available space in Templin Hall's cafeteria, but the University Space Committee needed proof of monetary support before it would grant Hilltop the room.
In other business:
Senate passed the revised revenue code budget proposed by the finance committee. The committee added $4,000 to Legal Services for Students budget, which brought it to $198 000
- Senate passed the $130,000 student organization's budget.
