Alumni Association to mark centennial
By AMY CRAIG
Staff Reporter
In June 1883, a small group of people met after KU commencement exercises and formed an alumni association.
Now that group would be proud and probably surprised to know that the University of Kansas Alumni Association is celebrating its centennial year.
Dick Wintermote, director of the Alumni Association, said last week that the Alumni Board of Directors had approved plans for the centennial year.
Those plans, Wintermorte said, will be "low-kay because the centennial is a major thing, but it is nothing to dwell on. We purposely tried not to drag out celebration. We need to be looking at our next 100 years rather than the past."
Included in the plans for the centennial year are:
- The graduating class of 1983 has been designated as the Alumni Association's centennial class and will be honored at Commencement events.
*A special Alumni Association membership rate of $12 a year will be offered to the centennial class. Graduates will have the option of paying that rate up to three years in advance. The regular membership rate is $20.
*The annual Commencement dinner, designated the Alumni Association's 100th birthday party, will be May 14 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. The dinner will feature service and teaching awards, comments by Chancellor Gene A. Budig and a program on the history of the Alumni Association.
*Special guests will be invited to Commencement, including the 28 former Alumni Association presidents, the Alumni Board of Directors, Alumni Association officers, Kansas University Endowment Assistant K.S. Booth, Endowment Assistant K.S. "Booth" Adams Alumni Center, former chancellors, alumni, faculty, staff and students.
issued for 1983. The card is gold and features artwork to let members know about the centennial. Wintermote said.
- A special membership campaign will be conducted throughout 1983.
The alumni center, which is now under construction, is a significant part of the centennial. Wintermote said. The $5 million center, he said, is the largest in nearly 10 years and considered to be the alumn's gift to the Alumni Association.
The alumni center, is expected to be in full operation by mid-August. will house new offices for the Alumni and its faculty club and meeting and activity rooms.
An outdoor dedication of the alumni center will be May 14, and open houses will be scheduled after the building is in operation.
ALSO AS PART of the centennial year, Alumni Association president Dolph Simons Jr. is appointing a study committee to the future of the Alumni Association.
The committee will consider the
organization, staffing, activities and financing of the Alumni Association and plan how it should approach its second 100 years. Wintermote said.
The Alumni Association now has 12,000 paid members, and the mem-
bership program.
The Alumni Association has had its offices in four locations, has had five directors and has grown to be one of the most prestigious alumni associations in the country over the past 100 years, Wintermote said.
KANSAS ALUMNI, THE Alumni Association's magazine, began in 1902. The magazine, published eight times a year, is the 13th oldest continuing alumni publication in the country, Wintermote said.
Among the Alumni Association's achievements are its help in founding
The Alumni Association established the Distinguished Service Citation for service to humanity in 1941 and the Distinguished Service Citation for service to the University in 1975.
Planning board OKs home sites for handicapped
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER Staff Reporter
Despite the protests of area residents, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission last night unanimously approved a permit that would allow the building of two homes for the handicapped.
The commission's approval of a request for a use permitted upon review, will allow Cottonwood Inc. to build two group homes, each of which would house six handicapped people and the groups" "parents."
ONE HOUSE WOULD be at Harvard Road and Jana Drive and the other would be on Trail Road. Several residents from the Trail Road neighborhood complained to the committee about building non-family homes in an area zoned for single-family residences.
"I have no feeling of animosity toward the handicapped people who
would occupy the residence," said Shelley Bock, 405 Tall Grass Drive. "The concern I have is that the variance will be used by developers in an effort as an argument for getting other variances to build multi-resident housing."
Bck presented the commission with a letter signed by 16 area residents opposing the recommendation of the permit.
Louise Brunelle, 416 Sierra Drive,
said, "I feel our privacy would be greatly impaired if the home is built. These people are overly friendly, and I am not sure how they build a yard and they know you, they'll be over in your yard talking with you."
LINDA MANN, president of the Douglas County Citizen's Commission for the Handicapped, supported the recommendation, saying, "It is very important for our mentally retarded to live in a community and it is beneficial to both the community and the handicapped people."
Vicki Thomas, commission chairman, said that it was very rare for developers to use variances as a method of changing the layout of their neighborhoods would put a stop to it as soon as they saw it happening.
Cottonwood Inc. had originally asked for approval of four sites, withdrew two of the sites. Cottonwood representative Howard Hasler said that they had never intended to build on all three lots but had purchased three to insure getting approval for one.
HASLER ALSO SAID that Cottonwood had tried to fit into the community, and that if it could find another site where the neighbors were more receptive, it would withdraw plans to build on the Trail Road site.
The recommendation will go before the Lawrence City Commission April
In other action, the commission voted to correct the minutes of its last meeting.
must be met to build a rock quarry six miles south of Lawrence.
The commission amended a condition about upgrading the road into the quarry to county standards. Originally all the burden was placed on quarry owner Robert Bigsby. Now, the county and two townships involved must meet with Bigsby to draw up an agreement about how they will work together to upgrade the road. Then they must send the agreement to the County Commission along with the planning commission's recommendation.
COMMISSIONER DEAN Harvey said the revision was necessary because Bigsby could not be held available for maintaining a public road.
The commission also unanimously approved a permit allowing the daycare company Kindercare to construct a building on Crestline Drive. The commission required that a bell tower be deleted from the site plan although about 750 other Kindercare centers across the country all had bell towers.
