Commission to review Indian Center proposal
By SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
After waiting almost a year and a half for the city to approve a location for its community center, a Lawrence Indian Center official said yesterday that he thought the quest was almost over.
Last week the Lawrence City Commission deferred action on the center's proposal because of disagreement over the location of the center and over its cost.
Commissioners asked Virgil Free, a home counselor at the center, to meet with the city's staff to resolve differing location and to cut costs in the proposal.
The City Commission will review the center's revised proposal at its meeting
The problems developed at last week's meeting when City Manager Buford Wanted objected to the site that proposed building
Watson said then that he objected to the site because a previous City Commission had allocated it for city landscaping.
City commissioners also questioned the proposed center because it would exceed the $55,000 budget the city had set for the project.
But those two problems have been solved in the nast week. Free said.
"We're still optimistic about the thing," he said. "The need is there, the money is there, and we hope to get it going soon."
Center officials changed the proposed location of the project from a site at 19th Street and Haskell Avenue to a site several blocks west on Moodie Road.
Free said that the plans for building the community center were presented in December to the commission, and boards had been made since that time.
He said that before that time Indian Center officials had tried to buy a building but that their attempts had been based on because of neighborhood opposition.
To cut the budget for its proposed building from the $57,568 presented last week to the $55,000 that the city allocated in community development funds. Free said he had cut the number of spaces on the plan from eight to six.
He also said he decided to leave the interior unfinished, a suggestion made last week by Commissioner Ernest Angino.
In order to further cut the budget,
Free said he had reduced the size of a sewer line that would run from the center to the street.

The trial began yesterday in Douglas County District Court for a KU anthropology professor and two former research assistants who were named in a personal damage suit filed in 1980 by a KU professor.

Dale Niklas, Crawford's attorney,
said yesterday that because the trial
was complex, it might last as long as
two weeks.
Crawford filed the lawsuit after the former research assistants, Liz Murray and Nancy Sempoli, lodged a complaint with KU's Advisory Committee on Human Research in January 1977 and later sued KU. The research methods on human subjects
The complaint also accused Crawford of misusing federal grants during a 1976 expedition to Belize, formerly the British Honduras.

Henry Lundsgaarde, the anthropology professor named in the suit, testified to investigators from the National Institute of Health.
Murray and Sempolski said in their complaint that Crawford had misled blood donors by allowing them to believe that he was a doctor. They also said in the complaint that donors weretes told that they had a genetic disorder
The Institute first ruled that KU would have to pay back funds that they saw Crawford had misallocated. How should the institute decide the Institute overturned that decision.

In other parts of the state, lightning and rain yesterday knocked out power to a few Kansas Power & Light Customers. Power companies in the states are still working to restore outages caused by last week's ice storm.
"In some instances crews made temporary repairs to get power back on (after the ice storm)," Hudson said. "The system is in a weakened condition. Crews are continuing to work, do more permanent repairs. The instability and spring ruin caused the situation that wouldn't normally happen."
Hal Hudson, a KP&L spokesman in Topeka, said he was unsure how many people across the state still lacked electricity.
KP&L retained about 150 out-of-state workers to help with repairs, he said.
