Brule would limit towing in Oread area
Rule would limit towing in Oread area City OKs parking exemption
By NED STAFFORD Staff Penester
Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission in a lengthy meeting last night approved on first reading an ordinance that would exempt some Oread neighborhood residents from the city's 48-hour parking limit.
If than approval is given on second reading next week, the ordinance will allow cars to be parked for up to seven hours without being subject to towing.
The area covered by the ordinance is between Ninth and 14th streets from West.
The rest of the city would remain under the current law, which allows cars to be given tickets and towed if they are not driven more than 48 hours without being moved.
HOWEVER, A REPORT from Ronald Olin, assistant chief for the
Lawrence Police Department, said local police normally waited at least 96 hours before a car was towed.
The commission had originally drafted an ordinance that would have made the seven-day parking limit citywide, but decided to confine it to the Oread neighborhood after hearing complaints from the public.
Oread residents have complained in the past that the 48-hour limit posed problems for car owners in the area because of insufficient off street park
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said the area needed more off-street parking, but said because the commission was not addressing that issue it should vote
Commissioner Binns said that he thought the ordinance was a mistake and that it would only aggravate the parking situation in the neighborhood.
IN OTHER ACTION, the commission deferred until next week consideration
BURGLARS STOLE $300 in cash and $115 in locker early Monday morning from Schneider's Liquor Store, 1610 W. 23rd St., police said yesterday. The burglars apparently entered by prying open a door.

A LAWRENCE RESIDENT reported to police Monday that his car had been vandalized in the 2100 block of Virginia Street, police said. Vandals shot out one of the car's windows with a pellet fired from a B.A.B. gun, police records said.
The lots could not be sold for less than their appraised value of $6,435 a lot.
The city will accept proposals for the purchase and development of the lots until March 8 and the commission will consider the requests at its meeting.
of guidelines the city should follow in selling nine lots in the 800 block of Pennsylvania Street.
The lots were to be a part of the Haskell loop project that was to provide an alternate route to downtown. The project was dropped after many residents opposed it.

THIEVES STOLE a Lawrence woman's purse containing $300 Monday, police said. The thieves ran off with the purse at Sixth and Alabama streets, police said.

Grants for foreign study grow
By SALLY JOY OMUNDSON Staff Reporter
Despite poor economic times, op portions for studying, abroad are growing in programs for sophomores, graduate students and even professors, the KU director of study abroad said this week.
Anita Herfeld, the director, said the University had also been invited to send two students to take part in a summer seminar at the University of Colorado featuring European and Japanese Fulbright scholars. The students will spend five weeks researching and discussing democracy.
The seminar, sponsored by the Academy of Independent Scholars, will include 40 Western European and Japanese Fulbright scholars and 20 American graduate or outstanding undergraduate students, she said.
THE DEADLINE for applications
available in the study abroad office, is March 15.
Students with previous work in political science, social sciences, philosophy or humanities are eligible for the seminar, she said.
**STUDENTS WOULD need to spend**
$1,100 for room and board for the five
weeks unless the university can get
grants, she said.
Ten new Fulbright grants to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are now offered by the Institute of International Education for graduate study in all academic fields, Herzfeld said.
The university is still trying to help reduce student costs. Students should apply by March 11 in case more money becomes available, she said.
Sophomores can still apply for the International Exchange Program to study abroad during their junior year even though some placement appl-
cations were due last Friday, she said.
PROFESSORS CAN get a grant to study in Spain through the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, which recently announced space for six to 10 postdoctoral grants in Spain for next year.
Students would need to pay traveling expenses, in-state KU tuition and room and board for the program, she said.
The council said the grants were possible because of money that was not used from the expired Treaty of Paris between the United States and Spain.
The University pays professors only one semester's salary whether they take a half-year or full-year sabbatical, she said. Professors who want to take a full year's leave may find it too expensive, she said.

In addition, any student who drops a graduate school course after today will receive either a "W" or an "F"
Gary Thompson, director of student records and registration, said yesterday that students needed to present drop cards at the Enrollment Center in Strong Hall before any drop would be considered official.
Students may pick up drop cards from their adviser, the dean's office or the Enrollment Center.
