NEWS BRIEFS From Area Staff and Wire Reports Study of mall plan to come after city reaches decision
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission is to review a plan for a proposed shopping mall in the 600 block downtown. But the planning commission's review will take place after the Lawrence City Commission has reached a decision
The planning commission will review the plan proposed by Town Center Venture Corp, at its Oct. 26 meeting and will decide whether the plan fits the city's master plan. The master plan calls for the main shopping area to be between Seventh and 10th streets.
However, Tuesday the City Commission will choose between the Town Venture proposal and a plan for the 700 and 800 blocks made by Sizerle Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La. Sizerle was originally the developer for down town redevelopment...
The City Commissioners said this week that they did not want to usurp the power of the planning commission, but that they wanted to stick to their plan.
If the planning commission rejects the plan, the city could still go ahead with the project. However, City Manager Buford Watson has said rejection of the plan could complicate financing for the project.
Liquor store robbed of $73 and beer
Two men robbed a Lawrence liquor store of $73 and a 12-pack of beer around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. Lawrence police said.
A clerk told the police that one of the men entered Else's Liquor Store, 315 F. 7th St., and picked out a 12-nack of beer.
A second man then entered the store, walked to the counter and asked for a half pint of liquor. The clerk said that when he turned his back to get the liquor, the second man held a box knife against his back and told him not to turn around and cash register. The first man took the money, and both men fed on foot.
The clerk said that one of the men was black, in his mid-20s, about 5-feet-9, of medium build and had a short hair style. The clerk described the other man as black, in his late 20s, about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds.
The police have no suspects.
War memorial contest announced
The Student Senate yesterday announced the rules and deadline for a contest to design the Vietnam War memorial fountain. The fountain, planned for next summer, will be built in the Chandler Court of the Frank R. Burge Union.
The contest is open to all enrolled students, with a prize of $250 for the winning design. Cash prizes will also be awarded for second and third place.
A project specifications sheet will be available tomorrow in the Senate office at the Kansas Union.
Watson adds express copving lane
In an effort to shorten long lines at duplicating machines, copying services at Watson Library has taken a hint from the supermarket. The department has added an express lane.
Martin Miller, copying services director, set a 10-copy limit on one of the department's six machines and reserved another machine specifically for customers who have a large amount of copying to do.
The machine designations are two of several changes that Miller's office considered over the past year in an attempt to reduce customer waiting time.
Miller said he was able to limit the machines' uses because three new copy machines had been added to the department's original fleet of three.
Miller said also that three microfilm copiers had been added to the center and that they would print copies of micro-film files for 15 cents.
ON THE RECORD
THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS was stolen sometime between 2:20 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday from Westlake Ace Hardware, 711 W. 23rd St., police said. The money was taken from a cash drawer. Police have no suspects.

Scientists predict hunt for polar oil
First bus to use fuel of the future promptly stalls
SAN FRANCISCO — The nation's first methanol-powered commercial bus was unveiled great fanfare at the inauguration of Gate Bridge — and prominently stalled.
The findings were reported in two papers presented to the conference, which opened a three-day meeting at the National Academy of Sciences.
But drilling for oil and mining for ores in what may be the world's most desolate region will be enormously expensive and hazardous, U.S. Geological Survey scientists told a conference on polar research.
WASHINGTON — Mankind's unceasing search for energy and mineral resources may turn to the frozen continent of Antarctica by the end of this century, government scientists predicted yesterday.
By United Press International
WHILE CAUTIONNING THAT no proven petroleum or mineral resources have been found in Antarctica, USGS geologist John Behrendt of Denver
in addition, a lack of international agreements exists on exploitation of the resources in such areas.
"Technology to exploit resources, particularly in the Arctic, has been developing at a rapid rate, and much of its applications applied to Antarctica." Behrendt said.
Under a voluntary restraint policy adopted by nations that have signed the Antarctic Treaty protecting the coniferous forests or mineral exploration is taking place.
said, geologic investigations had become intense in the last two decades.
"Economic and political considerations may change the industry's interest in the next few years," he said, adding that exploration and drilling "are possible within one or two decades."
The vehicle symbolized California's sizeable investment in what proponents see as the fuel of the future. It was supposed to be driven across the Golden Gate but problems developed.
Those nations, however, are negotiating an antarctic mineral resources exploration plan that is expected to be finished in several years.
Antarctica "has the most severe environment on Earth in which to carry out petroleum exploration or exploitation."
And because of a "moving grounded ice sheet several kilometers thick that covers most of Antarctica," the only practical areas for exploitation are on the continental margins such as areas bordering the Ross, Amundsen, Bellingshausen and Weddell Seas in West Antarctica, they reported.
IN A PAPER ON antarctic oil potential written with Geological Survey geologist Charles Masters of Reston, Va., Behrendt noted that
"I don't know what they are, but our technical people are looking at it," said Bridge District marketing director Bruce Selby.
Given the extreme cost of operating on the frozen continent, the only petroleum resources in Antarctica that are available for use there are to be extremely large oil fields, they said.

Seby said the trip was supposed "to dramatize the need for more clean-burning, fuel-efficient vehicles of this type."
