leaving a 40 feet by 20 feet multi-purpose room unfinished. The room will have bare insulation, and the ceiling will be unfinished until the center raises money to finish it, he said.
City staff members and Free agreed on the location in meetings last week. The location that was approved by the commission last night was 1240 Woodland Avenue near Haskell Avenue area since December, Free said.
In other action the commission declared the week of April 2-6 "Prisoners of WarMissing in Action — Vietnam Memorial Awareness Week" in Lawrence. The commission made the announcement after a brief hearing at the University of Kansas for a Vietnam Memorial, Mayor David Longhurst said.
THE MEMORIAL WOULD honor veterans of the Vietnam War and those missing in action. So remember to watch the memorial.

John Mingrave, 61, Indiana.
The goal the committee has set for the fund drive is $30,000. he said.
Musgrave, a veteran of the Vietnam War, spoke in favor of the proclamation at the City Hall on Friday.
"It is an unfortunate chapter in our history that the Vietnam veterans returned to our country after the war to hostility," he said. "Those who had died, who paid the extreme cost of their lives, were overlooked, and the students at the University of Kansas are now honoring those veterans."
Activities for next week include speeches given by a former POW in Vietnam and the wife of a Vietnam veteran who is still missing in action, said Brett Loyd, Hiawatha junior.

the hearings ended. She said that she would look into ways of bypassing the committees.
The original bill would have dissolved the Finance Committee and asked the Committee Board to appoint a new committee that would exclude members who had expressed bias against certain groups. Members of the present committee could apply to the new committee.
THE ORIGINAL BILL also restricted members of the committee from presenting organizations' budget proposals, made Senate finance Committee recommendations and, when Finance Committee to strictly follow the rules.
In the letter to the Senate, the Free Speech Movement said that the Finance Committee
violated Senate rules by planning to hold closed meetings, violated the civil rights of student organizations by requesting membership lists, and lacked a quorum at one of its meetings.
The letter also said that some committee members had presented budget proposals for groups that they were members of, while other members had not. The groups they would take funds away from certain groups.
Gilchrist said Monday that although members of the committee could present budget proposals for organizations that they were members of, they could not vote on the allocation of funds to the group if they were officers in that organization.
She also said that the word "jurisdiction" had been the main source of conflict among the BSU and Finance Committee members, but she said she would not define what she meant.

"BSU serves as a protection and as a representative if they want to use it," she said. "It is a support group for black student organizations.
"BSU is an open forum for students who have problems to come to."
OF THE NINE organizations listed, four black sororities and fraternities were listed on the request as being under the jurisdiction of BSU.
But Karen Jeltz, Black Pan-Hellenic council adviser, said, "I advise the council, and it is our responsibility," he added.
"I don't think anyone would say they have final say over anything."
She also said that in the past year the two groups have participated together in some activities.

Ellie Watson, SORMEB president, said that the organization was not directly related to the company.
Some of the groups listed, however, said that the BSU did have strong ties to their own
Brian Tolefree, Minority Assembly of Students in Health president and Omega Psi Phi fraternity president, said that black students who were active in any organization would consider themselves a part of the Black Student Union.
"I LIKE TO THINK of them as an umbrella organization," he said. "If we had a gripe, our students would go to the Black Student Union to air their grips."
"They are the spokesperson for black people," he said, adding that the term, "umbrella" meant that it is an organization that encompasses all minority organizations.
James Jeffrey, former president of Joseph B. Pearson Hall Black Cucus, said, "Black Student Union is there to represent all black students and black student government."
Wanda Ferguson, president of the black caucus at Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall and Corbin Hall, said that although no official relationship existed between BSU and the caucus, BSU protected the interests of all black students.

Gilchrist said that proposals that were as specific and complete as possible were easier to decide upon.
The Finance Committee can only utilize information submitted to it or that is mentioned in the hearing, he said. The conference was planned as an activity the BSU planned to do this year.
Harrison said, "I can't justify her reasoning for her mentioning that the funding was for the RBI."
He said that the conference, which the KU BSU will host, was going to cost more than $10 million.
"THE MAJOR INCREASE is due to the major projects we're trying to do," she said. The BSU plans to sponsor two memorials next year, according to the proposal.
Two proposed budget expenditures listed were $2,000 for a memorial in honor of poet Langston Hughes and $3,000 for a memorial to the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
However, Brown said that the increase in the budget request was only partly because of the

member and BSU recording secretary, also said that the publicity did not reflect the intensions of BSU. She did say, however, that the intention could have been used in the original request.
"What the students had to read did not justify positively the projects that BSU wanted to do."
Deneen Brown, Minority Affairs Committee
"I think the way it was calculated presented a negative image," she said.
In the budget request letter, Cheri Brown said that she arrived at the $19.343 amount by multiplying the amount of black students on campus by the $24 activity fee.
Tom Ballew, committee member, said that despite the circumstances surrounding the request, if the RSU needed the money to pay for his medical equipment, it should be able to get a reasonable amount.
