Student office requests report on fatal accident at fraternity
The KU Office of Student Organizations and Activities has asked the Stigma Phi Epsilon fraternity for a report on an accident last week from when the incident occurred.
Tim Findley, Overland Park freshman, died of head injuries a week ago at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Findley had been injured the previous day when he fell from the roof of the fraternity house, 1645 Tennessee St., and landed on a concrete porch 10 feet below.
"There is no reason to think that this was anything more than an accident." Ann Eversole, director of the office, said yesterday. "This is just a reckoning for us to do. We don't know what happened."
Expelled cadet wants out of Army
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — An Ottawa man who was expelled from the U.S. Military Academy just before graduating as an officer wants a federal court to stop the U.S. Army from forcing him to serve three years as an enlisted man.
"They're saying, 'He's not good enough to be an officer, not officer material. He'd make a fine specialist Four.'" the man, Charles Hook, said in the Kansas City Star Sunday. "I say if I'm not good enough to be an officer then I'm not good enough to be in the Army."
Hook, 22, had finished his academic requirements before being thrown out of West Point for disciplinary reasons days before commencement. Late last month, he filed a motion for a temporary restraining order in U.S. District Court to prevent him from having to serve three years as an enlisted man under an agreement he signed in 1979 when he entered the academy.
The Army contends that Hook signed a contract with the government in exchange for four years of free room, board and education. West Point statistics in 1982 showed that it cost $151,000 to put a cadet through four years at the academy.
A decision on the motion is expected after both sides file documents with the court in Kansas City, Kan., supporting their positions.

Compromise sought on church building
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER
Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Leaders of the St. Lawrence Catholic Center and residents of the surrounding neighborhood are preparing to negotiate a compromise on the proposed construction of a new church at Angel and Crescent roads.
The negotiations are in response to a request by the Lawrence City Commission last Tuesday that the two groups form a commission using the commission as a mediator.
Paul Burton, a member of the Engel-Crescent Roads Neighborhood Association, said yesterday that the group planned to meet with church leaders to work out a compromise but that no date had been set.
Area residents, led by association president B.G. Barr, formed the neighborhood association to block construction of the church because they objected to the size of the proposed complex.
IN APRIL THE center announced plans to build a 424-seat church and a 100-seat chapel on its property near campus at the corner of Engel and Crescent roads. The plans also include expansion of the student center.
On Tuesday the church's site plan for construction came before the City Commission. Barr billed an appeal of the site plan, saying that it did not include enough parking spaces. The commission deferred the issue.
PRICE BANKS, CITY planning
Mayor David Longhurst urged the groups to renew negotiations and to reach an agreement before the issue was passed. The commission for consideration in January.
director, said that the site plan was properly filed, but that the commission was not present.
The Board of Zoning Appeals will hear Barr's appeal Jan. 5, and the City Commission will review the site plan Jan. 10.
"There is significant difference between your positions that can be reduced," Longhurst said. "Why would you want me to decide this issue? I don't live in that neighborhood. What do I care?" I'm not a Catholic. What do I care?
In spite of the delay, the commissioners said the church and the neighborhood should solve the problem on their own.
The other commissioners echoed Longhurst's sentiments.
Longhurst told the standing-room only audience of about 125 that the commission could solve the problem, but that it would be better if the two groups worked the issue out themselves.
The use permitted upon review would also be required of cemeteries, art galleries, museums and other public buildings and be constructed in residential areas.
Commissioner Howard Hill sums, "After hearing the insistence of this commission to work out the problem, we have this golden opportunity to work together."
The commissioners also said they would not consider any change in zoning laws pertaining to churches until the issue was settled.
William Salome, president of KPS, said he had asked the company's gas supplier. Northwest Central Pipeline has burdened lower rates to big customers.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission is considering an amendment of a zoning ordinance that requires the county to approve special use permits before building.
COMMISSIONER NANCY SHONTZ said the use permits were a planning issue, not a political one. She also requested that Banks review existing guidelines for the church complex tell under different guidelines than a single church building.
In other action Tuesday night the City Commission decided to go to arbitration with Kansas Public Service Co. a request to raise gas rates.
KPS asked for an arbiter two weeks ago when it made the request to raise its rates at 18.87 cents per thousand euro. The banks now pay $4.24 per thousand net.
The arbitration agreement, which is binding on both sides, will probably include a floating rate for KPS's largest consumers.
In a related move, the commission contributed $5,000 in services to the Warm Hearts program. Warm Hearts is trying to raise $100,000 to help needy children. The city will provide typing and duplicating services for the Warm Hearts.
City, Kan, consider rate relief for large customers, who can be notified that their gas will be shit off when the gas company runs low.
THE UNIVERSITY OF Kansas, which consumes about 9 percent of the natural gas in the city, would switch to fuel oil if the rates increased.
In her response, Shontz disagreed with seven of Longhurst's nine points.
Because of that, the City Commission requested that the arbitration firm of Larry Sawyers accept the claim.
Two weeks ago Longhurst read a statement supporting the Town Center Venture Co. and its plan for developing the 600 block
SHORTLY ALSO RESPONDED to a recent incident about downward pressure on the river.
She also said that she intended to place the issue of downtown redevelopment and the selection of Town Hall for the commission her Dec. 6 meeting.
Earlier this month the commission voted 3-1-1 to negotiate with Town Center as developer. Shontz voted against the motion.
Shontz said she wanted the other commissioners to explain to the community why she chose Town Center as her office location. The firm Sizerer Realty Co. in, Kemmer, La
