of the erosion since 1975, when the Corps completed Perry Reservoir, which is also on the Kansas River. But he said that Clinton Reservoir has accelerated the problem in the past few years.
The Eudora bend has not been the only place the Kansas River has eroded away large impressions.
ANOTHER SPOT where the river shifted and severely eroded the land is Larry Schaake's property, three miles east of Lawrence on 15th Street.
Schaeak, too, said that the reservoirs along the river caused his property to erode. He said that his property just like the bank at the Eudora bend — a straight 10- to 20-foot dropoff.
Schaake lost the majority of his property during the '60s and '70s, after the Tuttle Creek fire.
He said that when the rivers were full the water put pressure on the banks, so hardly any erosion occurred. He said that erosion took place, however, when the rivers were not full
Schaeke said he could remember when, after

saturated," he said. "When they lowered the level of the river to two-thirds full, there wasn't any more pressure on the banks so the soil dropped off into the river.
The Corps must get Congressional approval of any project before starting on it. The only time the Corps may go in without consent of the Board is if that area endangers public property.
Schake said there was a township road adjacent to his property at the time his land was
SCHAKE SAID the Corps offered permits for people to work on the bank themselves, but getting permits was "easier than said done." He said it took him six years to obtain the permit because there was a lot of "haggling back and forth."
He said that erosion had slackened since he got the permit and spread rock, but out of the 310 acres Schaake once owned, only five remain. Some of the land floated down the river and some

of it shifted to his neighbor's property on the other side of the river, he said.
Corps officials said they had studied the bend, but the money needed to stabilize the bank outweighed the advantages that would be gained.
Dave Day, Corps engineer, has worked on the Eudora problem. He said that when a riverbank study was conducted three years ago, it would have cost the Corps $800,000 to stabilize the bank. HE ALSO SAID that there was no real federal interest in the Eudora band.
Tom Burke, chief of the River Development Section of the Corps, said, "Congress did not authorize the project because it was not economically feasible. The Corps is only authorized $250,000 for such projects at each separate location."
Burke said that because only one farmhouse was in the immediate area, the Corps considered the county road as a private drive.
"We don't have a plan for the Eudora area right now," he said. "It would have been cheaper just to have moved the road. That would have been one-tenth the cost of stabilizing the bank."

However, Charles Carlsen, president of Johnson County Community College, said the state should not have authority over the colleges because it was not the primary financer of the college.
"IF THE STATE funded them, it would be appropriate," he said. "But for that reason, I think it's appropriate that local boards of trustees, as they do now review the budget."
"If they want the money, I think it's about time we coordinate how they govern," he said.

Walbourn said he did not think that the bill would give the state any more control over the air traffic. "We don't know what this is going to do," he said.
now. State payments to community colleges are audited in the same way as payments to Regents
"There's a great deal of difference between governance and accountability," Walbourn said. "Unless we change the whole system, I don't see any need to unaccountability under the Board of Regents."
Walbourn said he would not object to a detailed study of the proposal, but feared the bill might be hurried through the Legislature.
Other states divide control of community colleges with local officials, Walbourn said. The department is working on a plan.
HESS SAID THE proposal would allow the

Haley said he was aware of the erosion when he sold the land, but that at the time the erosion had slowed to the point where he didn't think it would affect the land he sold.
The land on the Weaver Peninsula was appraised at about $350 an acre in 1964. In Kansas, 30 percent of the appraised value is land. The remaining 70 percent is multiplied by the mill levy requested that year.
The erosion on the peninsula started about 1866 and has increased significantly in the last
BOTH HIRD AND Haley have each lost 10 to 12 acres.
I sure wouldn't have bought it if I had realized the erosion was going to hit that land." Hird said. "It's a case of 'Let the buyer beware.' I wasn't bright enough to talk to people and investigate before buying it. I would like to sell the land, but it's almost unusable."
Hird, who bought 92 acres from Hakey in 1979, was unaware of the erosion when he bought the land.

had gone into the general fund instead of being used to increase the Social Security fund.
Now the federal government wants to draw new federal employees into the Social Security system to use their $10 billion retirement fund to cover its shortage of Social Security funds. Greens said.
THE PRESIDENT'S National Commission on Social Security has said that the Social Security fund would be short by almost $200 billion in 1990 and that beginning in July, the fund shortage would force the federal government to send out benefit checks late.
Some members of the commission wanted to cut benefits to solve the problems, Slatter said, and others wanted to increase taxes. All agreed that the Social Security system should not be altered.
One proposal would require Social Security recipients who are single and have a taxable income exceeding $20,000 a year to pay federal income tax on 30 percent of their Social Security benefits. The tax would also apply to married individuals whose income from other sources exceeds $25,000.
Although the commission proposed that participation in the Social Security system be made mandatory for all newly hired federal employees, Slattery said, the commission is committed to making sure that federal civil servants get their federal civil service benefits.
GREEN SAID that unlike Social Security recipients, retired federal civil service employees had always paid income taxes on their benefits.
"That has been an inconsistency and an unfairness in the system," he said.
A member of the American Postal Workers Union said that federal employees had always paid a larger percentage of their salaries into a retirement fund than the participants in Social Security.
One person attending the forum said that according to President Reagan, Social Security benefits were never meant to be more than supplemental. The retired federal employee's benefit program was designed to fully support its beneficiaries, he said.
