Slattery to attend meeting on excellence in education
Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan., has confirmed that he will attend a conference on excellence in education that will be conducted Dec. 1 at the University of Kansas, the conference's organizer said.
Chris Edmonds, KU director of the Associated Students of Kansas, said Slattery would join several other national, state and local leaders at the conference, which the lobby group is sponsoring at the University of Kansas.
Edmonds said the conference would focus on the findings of the April "Nation at Risk" Report."
Also attending the conference will be Robert V. Haderlein, of Girard, one of the report's authors, and Cindy Harris, the Midwest regional director of the U.S. Department of Education.
State Sens. Wint Winter, Jr., R-Lawrence, and Jan Meyers, R-Overland Park, will be among the local leaders present at the conference.
Edmonds said that former Kansas Gov. Robert Bennett had also been invited to moderate the conference, but had not confirmed his appearance.
KU chemistry professor wins award
The American Chemical Society has chosen another KU professor as the recipient of its American Chemical Society Midwest Award.
Jacob Kienberg, professor of chemistry, will receive the award for his research work and educational contributions in chemistry. He is the fourth KU professor to receive the award since 1944.
Kleinberg has been doing research on oxygen compounds since he came to the University of Kansas in 1946. He was chairman of the chemistry department from 1963 to 1970.
In addition to his research, Kleinberg has written more than 100
napers and textbooks and has advised about 50 doctoral students.
Ralph Adams, professor of chemistry, received the society's award in 1979. Takeru Higuchi and the late Ray Q. Brewster are other KU professors who have received the award.
Charges filed in mauling of woman
ANTHONY — An involuntary manslaughter charge was filed yesterday against the 19-year-old owner of two dogs that mauled an elderly woman to death in Harper, officials said.
Warrants were issued in Harper County District Court for the arrest of David S. Reynolds, saidHarper County Attorney Phil Unruh. Reynolds also is charged with two counts of permitting a dangerous animal to be at large, which are misdemeanor offenses, Unruh said.
Harper police are accusing Reynolds of owning two pedigree American pit bull terriers that mauled 67-year-old Grace Parsons to death early Saturday. Police said they thought she had stepped outside to pick up her morning newspaper when she was attacked by the dogs.
He said this case as a whole was unusual and one in which the traditional application of the law did not apply.
"You just have to apply what fits," he said.
Election committee to have forum
The Student Senate Elections Committee will conduct a forum today for candidates running in the Nov. 16-17 student body elections.
Jim Clark, the committee chairman, said the purpose of the forum was to inform candidates of election rules that had been decided by the committee.
The forum will be at 4 p.m. in the Council Room of the Kansas Union

Residents block Indian Center plans Commissioners reject zoning variance request
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night by a 3-2 vote rejected approval of a zoning variance for a new site for the Lawrence Indian Center.
Last month the commission had approved a variance for the site at 101 E. 23rd St., also by a 3-2 vote. At the time, a protest petition filed by residents of the Frasier freeze neighborhood was considered invalid and did not affect the vote.
WITH THE PETITION in effect, the City Commission needed a three-fourths, or 4.1, vote for passage of the zoning variance. Mayor David Longhurst and Commissioner Mike Amyx hastest the variance, as they did last month.
Members of the Breezedale Neighborhood Association went to court to have the petition declared valid and received a favorable ruling last week.
Commissioner Howard Hill said that the issue had come full circle, but that the need for the center still existed and he urged the commission to move quickly to find another site in the Indian Center. now at 2236 Louisiana St.
Immediately following the vote,
Virgil Free, a counselor at the center, said that the vote would set back Indian Center plans by at least a month, but that the center would immediately begin working with a Manager Bufford Watson to look for another site.
The Indian Center is a non-profit center that provides emergency servicenetworking for the poor.
Several Breezedale residents were on several Breezedale center's being moved to the nearby neighbor.
WILLIAM BELL. 2309 Massachusetts St, said 94 of the approximately 110 area residents had signed two protest petitions. He also said that they were trying to preserve the character of the neighborhood.
"We don't want to see the neighborhood taken over chunk by chunk," he said.
Don Gilbert, 111 E. 23rd St., said the residents were not opposed to the Indians, but to any building that was not reflective of single-family zoning.
In other action, the City Commission voted 4-0 to approve the creation of city enterprise zones — areas where economic expansion and redevelopment are encouraged through state and local incentives.
Those incentives include job creation tax credits, investment tax credit, targeted capital improvements and industrial revenue bonds.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz abstained from the vote, calling it a premature decision.
SHONTZ ASKED TO have the item deferred to let residents in affected areas have time to learn about enterprise zones.
"It seems grossly unfair to tell people they must take this gift whether they read it or not, but even had time to read the law yet, all we've read is a summary of the law."
Commissioner Hill said it was not
necessary to have a public hearing before adopting the enterprise zones
"It is a clear economic tool with many potential advantages," he said. "There will be ample opportunity for future development, it comes time for actual development."
Shontz was concerned that the incentives would encourage rezoning of residential neighborhoods in the zones for commercial use.
THE OTHER MEMBERS of the commission said they thought this could be prevented at the planning stage by the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and the City Commission.
The commission also briefly discussed downtown redevelopment, as Amryx asked that the city attorney be required to make a list of legal procedures.
Longhurst also asked that downtown redevelopment he put on the agenda next week for the purpose of determining where the city has a developer of record.
ASK proposal aims to improve freshmen quality
By Staff and Wire Reports
TOPEKA — Lobbyists from the Associated Students of Kansas yesterday told a legislative committee to impose tougher academic requirements on high school graduates.
Mark Tallman, ASK executive director, presented a proposal that would allow state universities to specify requirements for admission. The proposal is aimed at improving the quality of incoming freshmen.
Under the ASK proposal, high school students would be required to take four
years of English and three years of math and science.
"WE MADE THE proposal in the thought that the schools could make the subjects and the requirements that they now recommend, requirements." Tallman said. "It would make the pool of students better. The Board of Regents has adopted a college prep curriculum. But the schools have not made their own requirements beyond this.
"We're not necessarily advocating a system like there is in California, where only the top 10 percent of the high school students can get into the
Stanley Koplik, Regents executive director, went before the committee to outline the Regents intent to scrutinize the Indiana Department of Education and the Kansas Technical Institute.
AFTER THE FIRST year of its
University of California system. But we think that just graduating from high school should no longer be enough."
At the same committee meeting, a spokesman for the Board of Regents predicted that the board's investigation of teacher education programs at state universities would "upset a lot of people" in the coming year.
