Downtown continued from p. t
city parking lot on the west side of the Reuter building.
HOLT ALSO wants the city to agree to vacate Rhode Island Street at the end of the 600 block. Rhode Island Street is the property on both sides of Rhode Island Street, which he plans to turn into an entrance for the mall.
The City Commission plans to make the letter of intent good for six months, with a possibility for it to be extended.
All five commissioners agreed to granting the letter, but they have not all put their full support behind it.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said, "We have to give him a chance to do the project together or work with him."
"We have to be a little vague at this point so he can go ahead and do his homework. Without the letter he wouldn't be able to get a department store to listen to his proposal. We haven't committed yet, we've just said he has six months to work on it."
ALONG WITH his agreement to lease the Bowersock building and the Reuter building, Holt has also made initial contact with proper department stores and he said six candidates.
Holt also has a plan to help the Weaver department store at Ninth and Massachusetts streets expand. And he has proposed that stores on Massachusetts be enclosed in groups of three
In addition, Holt wants to create a tram system that would run through downtown so that commuters could get around.
At yesterday's meeting, Holt told the City Commission that he could carry out a portion of his plan without any subsidy from a special benefit tax district, but that the entire plan would require more building and expanding department stores, and in the development of the tram system.
to six, using glass atriums to create "mini- malls."
IF THE PLAN is approved and the lease is extended, Holt wants a special benefit tax district established on Massachusetts, Vermont andampshire streets between Sixth and 11th streets.
A special tax would be levied against businesses that fall within a benefit tax district. The tax revenues would be used to subsidize building the department store and tram system, which in theory would attract business to the district.
Holt has maintained that his project would not interfere with the proposed downtown mall on the 700 and 800 blocks behind Massachusetts Street, which is being built by Sizer.
The projects could compete with each other, Holt said. But Clark said Lawrence could not participate in the project.
HOLT PLANS to send letters to all the owners of downtown property asking them whether they are interested in his downtown proposal and whether they would participate in the tax district.
department stores that would be involved in the two projects.
Holt, who owns property downtown, has complained about the proposed benefit district for the Sizeler project, saying he would be put in a benefit district without receiving any benefit.
He said his project would benefit the storeowners who would pay for it. He also said the district for his project would cost the average store owner about $50 a year.
Although the commission has given the goahead to the project, Shontz said many members remain unaware.
"There is some confusion about the benefit district," she said. "I also question some of the benefits."
SHONT2 SAID she thought that the Sizerel project was a stronger project and that Holt didn't really want to compete with Sizerel, but to capture the entire market.
Both Holt and the City Commission said that a fair system of payment would have to be devised for the lease after the current lease of $1 a year. The city must then lease the lease to be determined by the inflation rate.
Several from the crowd climbed on the 6-foot blue wings while others pushed forward with such force that police locked the gates to the berth to stop the mlee.
Members' of the New York Yacht Club Americup Committee, who tried for five weeks to expel the yacht with the claim that the keel was illegal, were among the first to congratulate Bertrand and his crew, who set naval history during the treasured trophy from the United States.
Race continued from p.1
Conner, the first defender to lose the Cup to another country, climbed aboard Australia's flight.
"You'll get it back the next time," shouted one man. "Thank you." Conner said.
BERTRAND AND the crew shook his hand and hailed the downcast Conner, the successful 1980 defender against the Australians. As Conner made his way toward his berth, hundreds of disheartened supporters stopped and shook his hand.
Also offering consolation was President Reagan. According to a White House spokesman, Reagan called Conner from Washington "to offer his congratulations on a race well run." Reagan also plans to congratulate the Australians.
Bertrand, Australia II Syndicate Chairman Alan Bond and Executive Director Warren Jones
Reagan continued from p. 1
several delegations didn't join in the applause that filtrated the assembly Hall at the end of his speech.
The contingent from Moscow — the seat reserved for Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko conspicuously empty — seemed inattentive. By contrast, Secretary of State George Shultz listened closely from his chair next to U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick. First lady Nancy Reagan, noticeably drawn and pale, was in the gallery.
AFTERWARD REAGAN met with Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi and was asked during a photo session whether he had placed the 'on the defensive' with his revised proposal.
Reagan's conciliatory tone included a re-affirmation of "unwavering support" to the mission of the United Nations, coupled with tempered criticism of a recent trend away from traditional values and a responsibility to "speak with the voice of moral authority in condemning violence and aggression."
NOTING THE DREAM of world peace envisioned when the United Nations was founded has not been realized, Reagan, pointing to the attack on Korean Air Lines Flight 007, said, of recent weeks have presented new, unwelcome evidence of brutal disregard for life and truth."
The report recommends that students who need remedial English after junior high should attend remedial classes in the summer before high school.
Carnegie continued from p. 1
IN THE LAWRENCE system, students who fail a writing test administered in the eighth grade have to catch up the following year.
Tate said recent reports, including one published by philosopher Mortimer Adler and "A Nation at Risk," would have a definite effect on the nation's schools because they had drawn a lot of attention to the educational process.
The recommendations in the Carnegie report, he said, were "not much different from what people have been advocating for a long time."
Another recommendation in the report called for a "community service" requirement for students, which is administered in work in the community or at school."
Tate said Lawrence High could give a student one credit, of the 40 required for graduation, for completing 90 hours of school and work. He had ever, he said, only a handful of students
had chosen to do that in the past few years.
"I THINK the concept is a good one," Tate said. "Kids here probably do a lot of it."
The report recommended that teachers be rewarded by salary raises and merit awards, and that superior teachers be rewarded with cash grants.
"I wonder what they would base that on," Tate said. "Without working with someone all the time, it's hard to tell. I just don't know how they'll recognize outstanding people."
Dole helps begin effort against stereotypes
By United Press International
Perlman said Interior Secretary James Watt's use last week of the word "cripple" in a joke describing minorities represented on a government commission revealed a prevalent attitude.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Robert Dole and concert violinist Itzhak Perman announced a campaign yesterday to stop Americans from thinking of disabled people like themselves as "cripples."
"Verbage is like the window of the soul," said Perlman, a polio victim who must use crutches. "His obvidence is that he was a black person a nigger or a Jew a joke."
Dole, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee whose right arm was left paralyzed by a machine gun burst during World War II, frankly told Watt on the telephone what he thought of the joke.
no one had used the word 'cripple' in 30 years. Modern folk use words like disabled," Dole said. "I'm offended by his language. I told him so.
The campaign to raise money and educate the public includes a Kennedy Center benefit Saturday featuring Perlman and a public television program about the country's 36 million disabled.
"I told him as far as I could recall,
Sponsored by the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, the campaign was planned long before Watt's gaffe.
