Commission to reconsider Indian Center site approval
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission tomorrow will reconsider its zoning approval of a new site for the Lawrence Indian Center.
The commission approved a Use Permitted Upon Review zoning variance for the site, 101 E. 23rd St., by a 3-2 vote Sept. 13.
The commission meeting will be at 7 p.m. tomorrow at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
Last week, however, Associate District Judge Mike Malone ruled that a petition from residents in the Breezedale neighborhood opposing the zoning was valid, and that a 4-1 vote was needed for approval.
William Bell, 2309 Massachusetts St. submitted the petition to the city in late August. The petition carried enough signatures to require at least a three-fourths vote approval by the board to pass the zoning variance.
PRICE BANKS, city planning director, returned the petition to Bell because it lacked the necessary notarized signature on the second page. Bell took the petition back, and did not resubmit it.
Bell presented the petition to the commission on the night of the vote, but it was not binding because petitions must be given to the city two week before a meeting to affect a vote.
Bell later filed a second petition with more than 70 signatures, asking the commission to reconsider its touch with the commission declined to do.
When the commission approved
one zoning variance, it also approved spending $55,000 to purchase the house. The city was planning to rent the house to the Indian Center for a nominal fee.
The center, 2328 Louisiana St., is a non-profit organization that has provided emergency aid and counseling to local Indians since 1971. It continues to continue financial trouble, which has forced it to move at least twice.
IN LATE SEPTEMBER, a few days before the city was going to complete the purchase of the house, she made the sale with a restraining order.
Bell requested the delay, saying that the neighborhood petition was valid and should not have been ignored. In a hearing last week, Malone ruled that the petition was valid.
A 4+ vote by the commission is now required to pass the zoning variance. Mayor David Longhurst and Commissioner Mike Amyx both voted against the approval, and have said that their votes would remain the same unless new information was presented.
The people protesting the zoning approval have said that the Indian Center would create parking and traffic problems, and that having an office in the area would change the neighborhood's character.
BELL AND HIS Breezedale neighbors have been involved in other zoning disputes. Earlier this month they protested a zoning variance for a chapel that was to be primarily by 25 Catholic students at Haskell Indian Junior College. The group has also opposed other chapels planned for the neighborhood.
Football at Ellsworth not a washed-out tradition
By DONNA WOODS Staff Reporter
Flashing a smile that showed off her mud-caked teeth, the young woman slowly got to her feet and patted an opponent on the head, deliberately rubbing the dirt into his hair.
He crengled slightly but did not respond until the next play, when he picked up a handful of mud and tossed it in her direction.
Within a matter of seconds, mud was being hurled from all directions. But no referees blew a whistle to halt such umpersmian-like conduct on a football field.
Players don't get mad in this game, said Charles Wheeler, Overland Park freshman. They just get revenge.
THE PLAYERS IN yesterday's mud
football game behind Ellsworth Hall
were just working towards the goal of the game - to get dirty.
MONDAY MORNING
By the middle of the game, the prime tackling targets were not the ball carriers, but whoever had the cleanest clothes.
"I still see blue," someone yelled across the field. Three seconds later the blue-jersey player was receiving a facewash in the mud.
Wheeler said that in playing the football game, the players didn't really care whether they used a football, soccer ball or basketball.
And although a half-hearted attempt was made to keep track of the score in yesterday's game, that didn't seem to matter much either.
"What's the score?" a player yelled across the mud patch.
A few players scratched their heads and a variety of responses followed.
NO ONE KNEW when the first or second quarter ended, but a few
intentional bely slides across the field were enough to prompt half-time intermission.
Spectators on every floor of Elsworth lined the windows to watch the seven individuals sliding and oozing through the wet mud patch.
"You're sick." someone yelled from the second floor.
Players said that they didn't mind comments from spectators. In fact, they agreed that the best time to play was between 3:30 and 6:00 p.m., when residents walked by the field on their way home from classes.
LESLIE DAVIS, Broken Arrow,
Okla, senior, said that although a
dozen students at the hall were mud
football regulars, a lot of other residents tried the game at least once.
Gawsh for five or six years, she said.
Wheeler said, "The girls kind of go yuck, but the guys think it sounds neat."
Davis threw a clump of mud at him in obvious disagreement.

Valencia, Venezuela sophomore; Kent Gilbert, Kansas City, Kan., freshman; and Leslie Davis, Broken Arrow, Okla., senior.
