Lawrence stays in top ten of highest-employed cities
In a report released recently by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Lawrence maintained its position as one of the 10 U.S. cities with the lowest nationwide unemployment rates for December.
The unemployment figures indicated that Lawrence had the seventh-lowest unemployment rate in the nation. Lawrence tied for seventh with Burlington, Vt. Both Lawrence and Burlington had an unemployment rate of 4.2 percent in December.
The unemployment rates gathered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are seasonally unadjusted figures.
Cities with lower rates than Lawrence are Stamford, Conn., and Nashua, N.H. 3.2; Raleigh-Durham, N.C. 3.8; Lincoln, Neb. 3.9; Austin, Texas 4; and Manchester, N.H. 4.1.
Senate panel tables multi-bank bill
TOPEKA - In a 6-5 vote, a Senate panel today voted to suspend indefinitely its consideration of a bill that would authorize multi-bank holding companies in Kansas.
Supporters of multi-bank holding companies said they interpreted the vote as killing the bill for the session — at least in the Senate Commercial and Financial Institutions Committee. But the bill's sponsor said the bill was not dead.
The bill would do away with the unit bank system in Kansas, which prohibits corporations from owning more than one bank and more than 25 percent interest in any other bank. It would authorize bank holding companies to own more than one bank, with the approval of the state banking commissioner.
House panel to vote on reappraisal
TOPEKA - The House Assessment and Taxation Committee will vote this week on a reappraisal bill that languished in the final days of the 1983 session and had opponents saying yesterday that they didn't oppose property reappraisal.

The bill would require county appraisers to revive property during a three and a half year period. However, the new figures could not be used for calculating the required annual rent.
Gov. John Carlin has threatened to veto any reappraisal bill unless it is accompanied by a classification amendment.

Costume's party to cost campaign
By CINDY HOLM Staff Reporter
The Costume Party will throw a costume party tomorrow night, but it must declare the party as a $250 campaign expenditure.
Because the party might be interpreted as a political rally, the Student Senate Elections Committee ordered that all candidates as an expense on its campaign audit.
Roy Goldberg, chairman of the committee, said yesterday that the committee decided on the $250 amount, which is less than the party will actually cost, because the Costume Department planned the party as a political rally.
The Costume Party would have exceeded its $400 limit on presidential campaign expenses if the committee had unanimously cost total of the party, Goldberg said.
The Costume Party Friday asked the Elections Committee whether it would be required to declare the party as a campaign expense.
Carla Vogel, Costume Party presidential candidate, said that last month the Costume Party had planned a party for Feb. 17, thinking that the party would have more
The University of Kansas Judicial Board recommended in December that a new student body presidential election be held on or before Feb. 15. The Student Senate voted Jan. 26 to conduct the election on Feb. 29 and March 1.
VOGEL SAID THAT two bands had agreed to play at the party for whatever they could make from a $4 admission charge. Rent for the Kansas Union Ballroom would also come out of the admission fee.
THE STARTING OVER Coaltion Tuesday sent a letter to Goldberg asking the committee to declare the party a campaign expense.
"The intent of the party was not to get vies," she said. "We just wanted to hate them."
BUSKIRK SAID, "Some people will see the party as a political promotion. We want the band's time and the cost of their advertising declared as a political expenditure."
In a Feb. 14 letter to the Elections Committee, the Starting Over candidates said, "We are indifferent as to what the actual purpose or theme of the party will be. We do realize, though, that regardless of any such intent or purpose, the party cannot fail to promote the candidates running under the coalition name of 'Costume Party.'"
Vogel said that although the Costume Party did not intend the party to be a political rally, advertisements for the party did include a statement that the Costume Party had paid for the publicity.
She said she was willing to declare the cost of the advertising and Union rental but not the bands because they had donated their time.
However, Vogel said she would accept the decision of the committee.
Valuable painting missing from GSP
She said her party probably would spend only $60 to $70 on the campaign.

A $5,000 painting, valued by the KU Office of Housing, has been stolen from Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall where he was living. He was also 34 years, KU police said yesterday.
The last time someone could remember seeing the painting, which was stolen from the parlor and living room area of GSP, was June 10, 1983, according to James Denney, director of the KU police.
The 34-by-40 inch landscape painting titled "Mount San Jacinto" was confirmed missing in a routine inventory check Friday.
Julie Gross, the residence hall director said that neither she nor the housing manager recalled seeing the women when they began their jobs in August, 1983.
The painting, which features predominantly blue and gray tones in its depiction of mountain and desert terrain, was first noticed missing on Oct. 13, 1983. Denney said. However, the staff thought that it might be in storage.
Notices have been posted throughout GSP and Corbin halls, requesting any information about the painting's disappearance.
KU police have no suspects in the case.

"Can he really create?" I heard a girl whisper to Arthur.
"Heavens, no!" Arthur exclaimed "He never created an ad in all his life. But just you watch him. This is going to be good."
I decided to make the most of the situation. With mock dignity I took a blank piece of paper from the drawer and with a flourish inserted it behind the platen and rolled it in place. Then adjusted the chair and threw back my neck.
