Senate funds would boost Hilltop center
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
Financially, the past year has been a strain on the KU Hilltop Child Development Center, the director of the center said yesterday.
But the recent recommendation by the Student Senate Finance Committee to allocate $3,019 to pay for four nap aides was a pleasant relief, Joan Reiber, the director, said. The nap aides are required by law.
The allocation must still be approved by the fall Senate during budget briefings.
Hillop is a kindergarten and preschool that was started for the children of parents who attended the University of Kansas, but has since expanded to offer care for children of local residents. Reiber said.
In the past year, the center has been hit with several financial burdens, including being cut from last year's Senate budget.
But the big crunch came in January when Hillap had to start paying Social Security taxes for employees because they were not eligible. All nonprofit corporations, Reiber said.
Sandy Binyon, finance committee member, said the center's recent financial burdens influenced the committee members to recommend that the center be given the total amount requested.
Reiber said that the additional funds would enable the center to hold down the rent.
During early deliberations, the committee decided to only recommend an allocation for two aides, Binyon said but later decided to recommend a third. He would choose
But even with the Senate money, she said, rates will have to go up in the fall.

Archdiocese joins city in Catholic center suit
St. Lawrence Catholic Center officials have decided to get involved in a battle between the city and the Crescent-Engel Neighborhood Association over the center's proposed church and expansion of its student center.
By SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
The Rev. Vincent Krische, director of the St. Lawrence center, said yesterday. "We are intervening on behalf the court because the court's decision will affect us."
Archibishop Ignatius J. Strecker, of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kan., filled a counter-appeal last week in Douglas County District Court. It included 11 defenses against the neighborhood association's appeal of a Feb 2 Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals decision.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD association's appeal was directed to the city's zoning board, and did not legally involve the Catholic center.
The archbishop's counter-appell includes 11 defenses for approval of the court.
Center officials have decided that even though the appeal, which has not reached the court yet, did not legally involve them, its outcome did directly involve their plans for a $2 million project to build a church and expand their student center at Crescent and Engel roads.
Bill Barr, president of the neighborhood association, said yesterday he had not seen the counter-appeal and declined to comment on it.
The counter-appeal says that "the instant suit is a rivolous one brought to harrass intervener, and to delay the construction of the church and accessory buildings upon the site owned by the intervener."

- the Douglas County District Court, the court in which the appeals have been filed, lacks jurisdiction over the district court and in the subject matter of the case.
- the neighborhood association's appeal is moot, because it is based on a site plan that has been revised since the zoning board ruled on it.

St. Lawrence Catholic Center
The the Lawrence City Commission approved a revised site plan for the church, which provided for a reduction of 32 seats, to a 392-seat church, and a reduction of eight parking spaces, to a 98-space parking lot.
The zoning board's Feb. 2 decision enabled the center to proceed with plans to build without seeking a special permit from the city. The decision did not require the center to include additional parking.
