around noon and offered the job to Clark a short time later.
White House officials said no timetable has been set for finding a successor to Clark, who joined the administration as a novice in foreign affairs and, through his close ties to Reagan, became one of the most powerful figures in the administration.
Speculation was on Clark's deputy, Robert McFarlane, who has been serving as Reagan's special envoy to the Middle East. Clark, McFarlane and Secretary of State George Schultz March yesterday at the State Department, three hours before the announcement by Reagan.
CLARK'S NOMINATION to the $80,000-a-year post vacated by Watt came in the face of reports of conflicts with Shultz over primacy in the institution and stewardship of U.S. foreign policy.
However, Speakes denied that Clark was being pushed out of his NCS post. He said that Clark had achieved his objective of reorganizing the NSC, and indicated that he had accepted the nomination out of loyalty to his political mentor. Reaction was swift.
Senate Republican leader Howard Baker said, "I am confident he will be confirmed."
House GOP leader Robert Michel, reflecting the surprise felt at the White House, called the announcement "incredible and baffling." Sen. Elizabeth R-Nev., termed it "a superb appointment."
"I don't know what his qualifications are in this field, but then again I don't know what they were as national security adviser, said George McGovern, a Democratic presidential contender in a Harvard debate. "But he can't be any worse than Watt."
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS THAT campaigned against Watt and his policies for more than two years saw Clark as a new target. William Turnage, executive director of the Wilderness Society, called it "a preposterous appointment and an insult to the environment."
"This is the third time that President Reagan has appointed Clark to a job for which he has no qualifications," Turnage said. "It appears Reagan has an awareness of changing Watt's political policies."
Denny Shaffer, president of the Sierra Club, said, "The only thing about his environmental interests that I've found on this short notice is gone horseback riding with the president."
GEOFFREY WEBB, a Washington official of Friends of the Earth, said Clark's background "increases the likelihood of a major confirmation battle."
"This is a man who doesn't known anything more about national parks or endangered species than he did about Angola or Zimbabwe," referring to Clark's earlier foreign policy posts.
Ft. Scott continued from p. 1
AFTER LEAVING HIS job as managing editor of the Kansas City Star in 1979, Eblen spent a year as the KU Gannett Professional in the magazine he moved into the small Tribune editor's office.
Eblen, who was the Star's managing editor for four years, said that publishing sensitive news stories could be difficult in communities where just about everybody knew everybody.
"The truth is sometimes painful," he said.
Last week a resident involved in two accidents on the same day, one in which he allegedly damaged three cars and another in which he knocked a 12-year-old boy off his bike, came to the newsroom and requested that the Tribune not print anything about the accidents.
THE NEXT DAY the Tribune ran a six-paragraph story about the accidents, Eblen said, including the fact that the resident was booked for driving under the influence of alcohol.
"We don't print these stories to slap people in the face," he said. "But we surely don't want to face them."
"If we make an exception for one person, we'll
have to make an exception for everybody. Pretty soon, we won't have news."
One thing that seems to have helped the Tribune to provide excellent community service is the help it provided.
But as many members of the staff point out, what is news in a small community like Fort Scott is usually different from what is news in cities like Kansas City, Mo.
"I if I were selecting a story for page 1 in a city of one million people, I'd look for something that would make a big splash," said John Beal. Tribune news editor since January who also worked at the poster, a copy editor and an assistant city editor for the Kansas City Star from 1975 to 1980.
"But in a small community like this, you don't do it that way," Beal said. "You think more of the concerns of Fort Scott.
"The premise is that a local story on anything about anyone is better than a wire story, unless, of course, the wire story is a significant national or international story."
Hearing
continued from p. 1
Holt has proposed a third downtown redevelopment project, which is indirectly competing with Sizerel and Town Center. His plan calls for a climate-controlled retail shopping center east of Waukee to serve the Kanas River. He has plans to refurbish buildings owned by the Bowersock Mill and Power Co.
Lawrence attorney, were the most vocal about the project. Both have been involved in redevelopment before.
HOLT OBJECTED TO several parts of the Town Center plan, saying the city had previously rejected the area for development. He also said the style of the mall was one that traditionally had not shown much strength in the mall industry.
Holt said that he could continue his development if the city adopted the Sizerel plan, but could not if it picked the Town Center proposal.
Burr said, "The city appears to have three plans now. I would like to see the city set a time to make a declaration of blight. I can assure you that I will ask the courts to enforce the law if the city does."
The plan may call for acquiring land by declaring it "slum or blighted," he said.
Burr has issued similar threats about the 700 and 800 blocks of the mashpee, which would be located near the Siegel.
limiting themselves to questioning Schwada and his group of architects, planners and engineers.
"Some people are trying to intimidate me and I resent it," he said.
COMMISSIONER ERNEST ANGINO became angry that Burr and Holt were using the hearing to make subjective statements instead of
Robert Phillips, 363 Rowstring Road, said he saw a great deal of enthusiasm about the Town Center plan in the community and urged the City Commission to accept it.
However, several citizens showed concern about the feasibility of the plan.
Rivalry
Bruce Heckman, vice president of Robert B. Teskia Associates, Evanston, III, reiterated his feelings that the plan could work. He also said that the city should look at similar mall configurations in other cities to see what effect they had on downtowns in those cities.

litigious, such actions probably would have legal consequences.
"It probably wasn't perceived as a legal problem then," he said. "People just accepted it at the time."
In the more outrageous rival days, according to articles in the University Archives, nothing less than a civil war seemed to erupt within the university. Students trapped tractors if they weren't true to their schools.
Baugmertal said that because today's students seemed to be more diversified than those of the past, they were probably less likely to interpret attack on the school as a personal slap in the face.
NOW THE ONLY bad blood between KU and
K-State seems to appear in a large game-day party with name-calling on the side.
Yetman said that the rivalry possibly exists because the two schools used to perceive each other as rivals.
"The Silo Tech and Snob Hill labels refer to a real difference seen between the student bodies as to where they get their clientele," he said.
Baumgartel agreed, saying, "People start attributing desirable characteristics to themselves and undesirable ones to others. They feel the weakness in the opponent and exaggerate it.
"It's like a mirror image. Each side sees its own virtue and the good and the asl."
BUT DESPITE THE occasional heated
emotions, neither Baumgartel nor Baur said they thought that conflict was necessary bad.
"The KU/KState rivalry is constructive because each is trying to excel." Baumgartner said. "It's better than a monopoly that could get involved in racist activity. It keeps on institutionally on them."
But riots no longer rock Memorial Stadium and annually broken peace pacts no longer make
However, neither expect the rivalry to end. Baumgartel said that the rivalry might increase, especially now that each institution was more competitive for state funds.
Baur said he also expected the rivalry to flare again.

effectively making all three moves at once. Heckman said.
Sizerel was originally the developer of record from March to July, and has continued to work with the city on redevelopment. Last month the City Commission chose not to rename Sizerel as the official developer and also opened the door for local developers to present new plans before Tuesday's developer selection deadline. Last week, Town Center presented its downtown plan.
choosing the 700 and 800 blocks as the prime site for redevelopment.
The City Commission met with Tom Davidson, president of Sizer, yesterday to discuss the latest changes in Sizer's plan, now known as Option 3, which is a variation of the plan accepted by the city in March, known as Scheme 4.
He also reminded the city that two big limitations were placed on site selection by the city.
AT VESTERDAY'S meeting Heckman reviewed the two years of decisions that led up to
Massachusetts Street could not be closed and the Lawrence National Bank, 647 Massachusetts St., should not be removed for redevelopment. The Town Center plan defends both limitations
Heckman said that both plans were workable, however he placed more faith in Option 3, saying that it was integrated with the existing stores more than the Town Venture proposal.
He said that the Town Venture mall could pull people into it, away from stores at the other end of the downtown, and that it would place a large entrance in front. But the wall could become a detrimental monolith.
"Based on my experience, the 600 block plan has more potential for trapping shoppers in the mall," he said.
HECKMAN SAID THE 600 block was more appropriate for related development such as a
Heckman also said that he was unsure what made the city turn away from Option 3, which he said was highly regarded in the development industry.
Mayor David Longhuser indicated that it was because of a general dissatisfaction with the pilot.
Commissioner Ernest Angino said that those people who objected to Option 3 did so because
Longhurst also said that the reality of the situation was that the Town Center proposal had people fired up and the Sizerer proposal did not.

Concerned club owners in Lawrence.
If you use false identification to gain entrance to a private club,you are guilty of a crime. That's a fact. You may be fined up to $200.00. You may spend thirty days of your life in jail. You may be fined and jailed. Those are the facts. So the next time you think about using a fake I.D. remember this: It may get you into a club,but it may also get you into the slammer.
