Classics exam stolen; test postponed
By the Kansan Staff
About 120 students yesterday were supposed to have taken the test in CLXS 148 — Greek and Roman Mythology. But someone apparently stole the exam after entering the classes office by opening the box outside the outside balky, KU police said.
An examination for a KU classics course was stolen yesterday from the department of classics office in Wescoe and the exam was postponed until tomorrow.
Michael Shaw, associate professor of classics and the instructor of the course, said that the burglar either fell through the ceiling to get into the office.
The police have no suspects, but an investigation is continuing.
SHAW SAID THAT students who were supposed to take the essay exam yesterday would be placed at a disadvantage, because they would have to take a more difficult multiple-choice examination.
Also, Shaw said that the test was worth only one-eighth of the class grade, and he didn't think anyone would go through such trouble to get a
He said he doubted that a student took the exam because the student would have known that a different answer was given if the original were missing.
He said it was unusual that he decided to leave the exam in
department office. A secretary was supposed to make copies of the exam yesterday morning, he said.
Shaw said no student knew he had been working on the exam in the mythology office.
James Denney, director of the KU police, said that about one exam test is reported each year. He said this was a number of exams given at the University.
Denney said that a person might decide to take an exam for a variety of reasons. As an example, he said, someone could have broken into the office looking for cash, seen the test and decided to try to sell it. Or, he said, someone might steal the exam just to inconvenience the instructor.

Developer plans private mall
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER Staff Reporter
Although much attention has been focused on the city's public downtown development project, a local developer said yesterday that he was continuing with plans for private redevelopment along the Kansas
local developer Ron Holt intends to
build an enclosed shopping mall with
one department store along the river
new Hampshire Street, next to City Hall.
However, Holt said his project was being hampered by city officials.
Holt has an agreement with the Bowersock Mills and Power Co. and with the Reuter Pipe Organ Co. to build a new power plant in New Hampshire Street for the project
BOWERSOCK HAS 25 years remaining on a lease for the city-owned property its buildings are on, and in which the city extends the city to extend the lease to 99 years.
n the Lawrence City Commission has said it would prepare a letter of intent for Holt, agreeing to the increase, but Holt said she had been unable to get a grant.
"They don't seem to be doing anything," Holt said. "They're dragging their feet. I make phone calls every week asking them when I'll get
it, and they always say it's in the mail. It's disgusting.
"The council people aren't interested. They're afraid that if we get our project built, theirs won't be built."
Steve Clark, a local real estate agent, is working with Holt on the project, and he has also expressed interest in delay in obtaining the letter of intent.
DEAN PALOS, CITY planner assigned to downtown redevelopment,
The council people aren't interested. They're afraid that if we get our project built, theirs won't be built.
— Ron Holt
Local developer
blamed the delay on city officials being out of town.
Palos said the letter was in the hands of city attorney Gerry Cooley, who has been out of town most of the last two weeks. Cooley has to give city officials approval before they can send the letter to Holt.
Palas said the city also wanted evidence of Holl's ability to undertake the project because the city wanted to protect its investment.
Although Holt has not been able to a signed letter, he has seen the rough draft. Palos said the only area
of contention in the draft dealt with subordination of the lease.
If the lease were subordinated, the city would be responsible for Holt's project loan if he defaulted, which is something the city doesn't want to do. However, a subordinated lease would lower the interest rates on the loan
However, his partner, Clark, said he was continuing to talk to department store officials about leasing space.
"I don't want to waste everybody's time." Holt said.
WITHOUT A SIGNED letter of intent, Holt has been unable to actively pursue a loan or to make an offer to a department store to anchor the mall.
Holt said that he wanted to develop the property downtown but that there would be no profit for him without the lease extension.
Clark said that they hoped to have their project built before the city completed work on downtown redevelopment with Town Center Venture Corp and that he thought the river mall would satisfy most of the available consumer demand in the area.
Although he is being held up on his project, Holt is busy developing Business World behind Gibson's Discount Store, 2525 Iowa ST.
"I'll continue to build in the suburbs if I can't build downtown." Holt said.
