"To me, the fact that they signed a 10-year lease shows that they still have interest in downtown," Angino said. "If they were interested in a free-standing location, they would have signed a 20-year lease or something more concrete."
A Colorado trust company now leases the present J.C. Penney store property, 830 Massachusetts St. Gottlieb Realty Co., Kansas City, which the former Montgomery Ward building.
Miles said the move was made because the company wanted to expand its store in town.
"We do not have adequate space in our existing location," he said. "We need additional space and we could agree with the new landlord."
THE NEW LOCATION will contain about
47,000 square feet. Wles said, up from the 26,000
square foot space in the basement.
Miles said the net selling area would increase from 13,800 square feet to 38,000 square feet, which would enable the new store to carry three times as much merchandise as the old store.
The store will carry jewelry and cosmetics and will have a beauty salon, Miles said, and the company will expand present lines of merchandise.
Relocation and expansion of the new J.C. Penney building, begin at once, and the other will be in place in time.
Bob Schumm, president of the Downtown
Lawrence Association, said yesterday that the DLA was disappointed to see the store leave
HE SAID HE HOPED the DLA and the City Commission would give high priority to filling
"We would hope the space would be filled with a retail business," Schumm said. "That block is the No.1 block for retailing. It would make sense that retail would prevail in that space."
He said he did not think the J.C. Penceney move significance regarding downtown developments
In December, shortly after the City Commission chose Town Center Venture Corp. as the new downtown developer, J.C. Penney announced it was negotiating a move out of its downtown alley.
Bob Gould, an architect for the developer, said last night that Town Center would still contact J.C. Penney. Town Center also plans to negotiate a lease with Sears, Macy's and Dillards department store.
THE TOWN CENTER plan calls for two large department stores, to be situated diagonally opposite each other in the southwest and northeast corners of the project.
Gould said Town Center had intentionally kept the plan general because it was waiting to talk to department stores. He said information from the department store center plan either details in its development plan
"I think it will require a lot more investigation than I can determine what J.C. Pengney will do," he said.
"You would have to eat the soil." Traiger said. "I don't see how it would be a problem. There might be a problem if you ate food grown from it."
EPA

The soil was removed from the site in September, as part of the cleanup.
Frye said that long exposure to high concentrations of PCBs had caused infertility in laboratory animals. PCBs have also been found to affect the ability of the immune systems in
"We know without a shadow of $a$ doubt that PCBs are an environmental contaminant of some concern for mammals and fish," Frye said.
Because PCBs do not disintegrate naturally, Frye said, they can remain in the environment forever. Wind and rain can also help spread PCBs to other areas.
EPA GUIDELINES SPECIFY that transformers containing PCBs be stored in buildings with concrete floors to keep the PCBs from being released into the environment.
However, the University stored its transformers outside in a 200 square-foot storage area on West Campus. The transformers stood on wooden stands. The EPA cited the storage area as a violation during its investigation in January of 1983.
The EPA inspector also cited the University for not properly identifying more than 60 transformers that contained PCBs. EPA regulates the labeling of transformers that contain PCBs.
About 40 of the transformers were stored for disposal at a West Campus storage area. The rest of the transformers were either in use at the rest
time of the inspection or were being stored elsewhere to be used again.
None of the transformers in storage were marked as PCB containers.
THE UNIVERSITY ALSO failed to keep records of quarterly inspection reports or annual reports for (1978, 1980 and 1981. Frye said. The 1979 records were incomplete.
EPA regulations require that transformers containing 50 parts per million of PCBs must be inspected quarterly and that records of the inspections be kept for three years. Records of any changes in contents are to be used as the basis for an annual report that details the disposition of PCB transformers.
Anderson said that quarterly inspections and reports had been made, but that the reports had not been compiled in the manner that the EPA required.
Security
"All they are trying to do is collect bills owed the state and prevent fraud," said Gene Cox.

David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the administration had requested that the policy not apply to those students who had already given their Social Security numbers on admissions forms without the qualifying statement.
Stanley Kopik, Regents executive director
said schools would not automatically provide the numbers to the state.
"If the state requests that the University of Kansas provide Social Security numbers for debt set-off, we would provide them," he said.
CASPER SAID SCHOOLS would keep the numbers they had on computer tape and would give them all to the state at one time, rather than on a case-by-case basis.
He said the state already had on Social Security numbers of students who were on the state payroll.
Ambler said, "Certainly, the University wants to cooperate with other state agen
But, he said. "Our preference is to collect only the information that we need to know and use it for that purpose. It's a way of keeping the faith with students and faculty."
