with answers to these questions. It's not my responsibility to ask these questions, but I'm taking responsibility because I think it has to be done.
"I'm disappointed that more of this information wasn't provided earlier." he recalled.
In other action the City Commission:
*Amended a city ordinance dealing with moving houses within the city limits. Last month
the commission approved on first reading an amendment that would limit the height and width of buildings moved within city limits. Further research by city staff uncovered a state statute that prohibits such limits. Therefore city staff rewrote the amendment, adding some additional financial burdens, which are similar to those in other Kansas cities.
- Stopped demolition of a house at 725 New
Jersey St. owned by Robert Brown. The city told Brown two years ago to repair the house, but officials have said that little work has been done despite repeated attempts by the city to have the work done or demolished. In light of damage on the house, Commission relented to give Brown an extension.
- Approved selection of Capital Helicopter Inc.'s Air Services branch to become the new
fixed-base operator at the Lawrence airport. The airport has been without a permanent operator since May, and Air Services has been the temporary operator. The city will now negotiate with Air Services for a three-year contract beginning Jan. 1.
- Approved a staff recommendation raising trash pickup rates for Lawrence residents by 40 cents, to $5.40. The commission also raised the
minimum commercial rate to $7.32, a 2% cent increase.
- Adopted an amendment to the city's ordinance relating to dancing and dance halls. The revision eliminates the need for double safety inspections for establishments that serve alcohol and also eliminates a second fee for a dance permit in addition to a liquor permit.
Museum

director, Gates will be a courtesy art history professor. In the past, he has taught classes in Baroque art, European landscape art, the art of England and 19th century American art.
Tilghman said he hoped that Gates would help strengthen the museum's resources.
"I think he will continue the fund-raising efforts that we have already undertaken," he said. "We need to do some long-range planning in setting budgets and goals."
The Spencer Museum has been without a
permanent director since Charles Eldredge left the University to become the director of the National Museum of Art at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington in July 1982.
The University conducted an unsuccessful search for a permanent director last spring and hired him as its president.
Elizabeth Broun, former curator of prints and drawings at KU, served as acting chair until Sept. 1 when Tilghman took over.
Broun last week was named chief curator of the National Museum of Art at the Smithsonian.
Payroll
continued from p.1
The process could take as little as two days, Cartar said.
IN THAT PROCESS, he said, the association pays employees from 50 percent to 70 percent of their checks, intercepts the next check from the employee and refunds the balance in two to four weeks.
Some students who got their checks found that mistakes had been made. About a dozen people milled about the payroll office yesterday afternoon with questions about their checks.
One was Alex Paula, Rio dejanero graduate student and a graduate teaching assistant in the department of Spanish and Portuguese, who said he had completed 677 in 16 taxes that should not have been withdrawn.
"You have bills and groceries, and you expect to have money on a certain day," Paula said. "I have my paycheck in my hand but I don't have money. You've worked for this money and it's just not there."
PAULA SAID he would have to wait to cash the check because the payroll office might issue him a new one for the right amount, but that he could not wait more than a few days.
Another student, Mona Lee, East St. Louis,
Ill., junior, said £25 in state and federal taxes had been withheld from her paycheck although she had filled out documents stating that taxes would not be withheld.
Yesterday's payday was the first to be done at any university by KIPPS, the Kansas Integrated Personnel-Payroll System, which provides services to state employees in several agencies.
The first Board of Regents school to go on the KIPPS system was the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina, for the Oct. 1 payday. Donald Cravens, director of personnel, payroll and employee relations at Emporia State University, said Emporia State was also to have used the system for its paychecks yesterday.
HOWEVER, CRAVENS SAID, the system caused problems in its first round at KTI. About 25 percent of KTI employees missed their paychecks entirely, and many more had checks in the wrong amount because of errors in withholding money for taxes or for benefits.
"We were glad to hear we wouldn't be on it for awhile." Cravens said. "This eventually could be a really great system. Probably, in my opinion, they just pushed it too hard."
