Construction on Haworth to start soon
Construction on the $14 million addition to Haworth Hall is scheduled to begin early next week, Modig, Mim. of facilities planning said yesterday.
A pre-construction meeting was held yesterday to coordinate efforts of the contractor and the University of Kansas, Modie said.
The addition to the department of biological sciences will include laboratories for classes and faculty research and a large lecture hall.
R. D. Anderson Co., Inc., the general contractor, met with the architects, an advisory committee and several KU and state agencies involved with the construction of the emergency station, which is scheduled to be completed in July 1985, he said.
ALLEN WIECHERT, director of facilities planning, said meetings were held before any construction on campus was done by private contractors, in order to coordinate activities with facilities operations and planning, and ensure the contractor will meet security practices and University regulations.
Brower Burchill, chairman of the Haworth addition advisory committee and professor of cell biology, said the committee helped the architects, Peters, Kubota, and Glenn, P.A., plan the addition.
He said he was delighted because the new building would replace out-dated facilities in Snow Hall.
Jim Whitehead, a construction observer from the architecture division, said he would be on the site daily to meet with his team, but was built to proposed specifications.

Social service groups oppose proposed state assistance cuts
By DIANE LUBER Staff Reporter
Cuts in general assistance benefits proposed by the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services will place a burden on social service organizations that they will not be able to bear, the director of a social service coalition said yesterday.
Paul Johnson, director of the Public Assistance Coalition of Kansas, said, "Those who think the private sector has the biggest general assistance are mistaken.
ROBERT HARDER, state SHS secretary, recommended to a Kansas Senate committee yesterday that able-bodied people between the ages of 18 and 51 who have no dependents no eligibility for general assistance benefits.
"There are people who want to work who can't find jobs. You have to be damned destitute to receive general assistance."
PACK is a coalition comprising church organizations, emergency social service agencies, the League of Women Voters and labor groups.
The proposal, which would cut benefits to as many as 6,000 people, is an attempt by SRS to stay within its budget. It will be made in which ends June 30. In his report to the
committees, Harder estimated that more than $11 million in general assistance payments would have been made by the end of January.
Bessie Nichols, office manager at Pem House, a local organization that helps low-income people, said, "What are we going to do? It will affect a lot of our clients, especially older ones, who are not eligible for other programs.
"Social service agencies are going to break, and I don't know what it will take. Until then, we'll just carry on the best we can."
Ernest Dyer, SRS income and maintenance section chief for the Lawrence office, said 85 people had applied for general assistance benefits in Douglas County between mid-November and mid-December.
"THAT IS the highest number of applications that have been received since I started working here two and a half years ago." Dyer said.
The number of general assistance recipients in Douglas County decreased from 180 in July 1983 to 130 in November 1981. But there has been steady growth in the number of recipients since that time, with some exceptions, he said.
One exception was the decrease from 184 to 174 in the number of recipients from mid-November to mid-December 1982.
figure will be back up because of the large number of applications we have."
Edson Mills, manager of the Law-
rence Job Service Center, 833 Ohio St.
said that 1,500 people were unemployed
in Douglas County and that the rate of
unemployment had been holding at
4.3 percent for the county since
November 1981.
HE SAID that unemployment insurance recipients, who receive between $41 and $163 a week, could not draw benefits for more than 26 weeks.
Dver said, "I anticipate the January
Some unemployment insurance recipients might be eligible for federal money, which would extend their benefits for 13 weeks, he said.
Fred Rice, chief of research for the Department of Human Resources in Topeka, and 15,000 unemployed people work in the region as part of an unemployment benefits as of January.
He said he did not know how many of those were eligible for or were receiving the federal supplemental benefits. Those benefits will end in March unless Congress extends them, he said.
STATE REP. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, and State Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington, members of the House Ways and Means Committee, each said they wanted more time to study the proposal to reduce general assistance benefits before deciding how they would vote on it.
Briton jailed for plan to sell secrets to USSR
By United Press International
LONDON — A British soldier who planned to pass military secrets about the Falklands war to the Soviets was sentenced yesterday to four years in jail and lectured by a judge for considering betraying his country for the price of a used car.
Lance Cpl. Philip Aldridge, 28 broke down and cried while pleading guilty in Old Bailey, London's famous central criminal court. He was the fourth person convicted of spying in Britain in the last year.
Justice William Mars-Jones rep
rimanded Aldridge as he sentenced him to four years in prison.
"You knew you could have caused exceptionally grave damage to every man, woman and child living in this realm." Mars-Jones said.
Prosecutors said the document Aldridge intended to sell to the Russians dealt with Exceet missiles
"BUT YOU saw this as an opportunity to take money to buy a car. That was the price you were demanding for betraying us all."
- the long-range, surface-skimming weapons Argentina used to sink two British ships during last year's Falklands war.
