A house rests on a trailer beside its former foundation near the Saint Lawrence Catholic Center on Crescent Road. The house is being moved to give the center room to expand.
Catholic center plans to grow
Companies are kept in what used to be the maid's room. The auxiliary garage is now a chapel, and the bedrooms are now offices.
Despite these changes, the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Street, has remained the same.
"Over the years, the activities have changed, broadened and expanded, along with the Catholic population at the University," Cleo Langley, the center's office manager and accountant, said yesterday.
WITH FINANCIAL HELP from the Kansas City Archiochec, of which Lawrence Roman Catholic churches part, the center will keep growing.
The Rev. Vince Krische, a priest at he center, said that since 1970, the
archdiocese had purchased four adjacent church center. The last lot of churches was purchased in its place.
Langley said the houses should be moved from the lots by the end of this week to provide room for the center to expand.
THE CENTER MOVED to its present location in August 1972 from 1434 Engel Road. The house at 1631 Crescent Road, which the archdioceae bought in 1972, originally belonged to a Lawrence lawyer.
The center does not have plans to move from that location, Langley said.
"Our plan is to build a church, a chapel and an educational center," she
expected to cost $1.5 million and should be finished in 1985, she said.
THE CHURCH AND chapel are
The construction, Langley said, is being financed by the archdiocese and by donations from students, parents and alumni.
She said that $113 million had been pledged to the project.
what we would like is for the graduation Mass for the class of '85 to be held there," she said.
Mexico repays Swiss bank debt
THE NEW CHURCH will seat about 400 people, whereas the room used for Mass in Smith Hall seats 130.
An increasing number of Catholics could not afford to go to private, university schools and attending large public universities like the University of Kansas, Langley said.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico repaid a $1.85 billion debt to the Bank of International Settlements yesterday, three days before the scheduled signing of a $4 billion debt bond agreement with 300 private foreign banks.
The Banco de Mexico said Mexico had repaid in full its $1.85 billion debt to the Bank of International Settlements based in Basel, Switzerland. The loan was extended a second time on central banks of Western nations.
"This is additional proof of the recovery of the Mexican economy, particularly in the external sector, and the positive results of the recovery of recording the economy," spokesmen for the Banco de Mexico said.
MEXICAN FINANCE Minister Jesus Silva-Herzog will travel to New York Friday to sign a debt-restructuring agreement with about 500 private foreign banks, a government spokesman said.
The restructuring will roll over $20 billion of short-term debt owed by Mexico, allowing for the repayment of years with a four-year grace period.
Exactly one year ago yesterday, Mexico sent shock waves through the financial community when it announced it could not make any principal payments on its foreign debt of about $80 billion.
Threatened with financial collapse, the administration of President Miguel de la Madrid implemented an austerity program and imposed a lid on new foreign debts.
A $3.96 billion, three-year standby loan from the International Monetary Fund was also conditional on a series of bolt-tightening measures
Navy disclaims charges of involvement in coup
By United Press International
GUATEMALA CITY — Two U.S. Navy planes landed at the Guatemalan air force base during the Aug. 8 military coup, fueling suspicion about a possible American role in the takeover, airport sources said.
In Washington, the Navy confirmed that two $o_1$ C-1A Trader aircraft were present at the airport Aug. 8 but said they were waiting to take to then President Erain Rios Mont to visit the USS Ranger.
“When news of the reported coup was received by the aircraft commanders, they departed Guatemala with no one present on board or personnel onboard,” the statement said.
A U.S. EMBASSY official, who asked to remain unidentified, said Monday the arrival of the two planes was not related to the coup.
"I can give you a whole list of things — our man with the walkie-talkie inside the palace, planes landing that morning, Melija (coap leader Gen. Oscar Humberto Melija Victores) visiting the Ranger the Saturday before —
they all had absolutely nothing to do with the coup," said the official.
Mejia ousted evangelical Christian Rios Montt in the coup, claiming Rios Montt had allowed "religious fanatics" too much power in the government.
The U.S. aircraft landed at the international airport between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Aug. 8 and taxied straight to the side of the airport used by the air force, two airport sources said Monday, asking to remain anonymous.
THE AIRCRAFT, similar to those used as shuttles aboard aircraft carriers, took off together around 10:30 a.m., they said.
Guatemalan radio began reporting at 10:30 a.m. that Rios Montt had been deposed. Two soldiers and a civilian were killed in the takeover.
The coup occurred two days after then-Defense Minister Minje met with his counterparts from Honduras and El Salvador aboard the carrier.
The U.S. Embassy has confirmed reports that an embassy employee using a walkie-talkie was inside the National Palace at the time of the coup, but said he was simply there to monitor events.
