Regents okay final building plans
By STEVEN STINGLEY
Staff Writer
Final plans and specifications for a satellite Kansas Union, an addition to Robinson Gymnasium and a radiation therapy center at the KU Medical Center were approved by the Kansas Board of Regents Friday.
The Regents also gave the University of Kansas authorization to request more than $1 million for energy-saving projects from the state legislature. The University of Lawrence campus and $346,718 for the Med Center, were included in a package of legislative requests for energy-saving projects totaling more than $500 million. Seven Regents institutions in fiscal year 1979.
Now that the Regents have approved final plans for the satellite union, the addition to Robinson Gymnasium and the radiation therapy unit, the acting state architect will place the three projects out for bids. Bids dates will be added before construction. Regens facilities officer, and construction will begin on the projects within the next two months.
CONSTRUCTION time will depend on the results of the bidding, but KU officials expect each project to take from 18 to 24 months to complete.
The satellite union will be built near the new law building between Jayhawker Towers and Allen Field House and is intended for people living on the west of the main campus.
The plans approved by the Regents call for 31,000 square feet of space with areas reserved for a book and supplies store, food court, library, area schools and student programs and services.
The satellite union, which will be funded by bonds supported by student fees, was approved in a student referendum in 1976. There is a $2.5 million construction ceiling.
THE KANASS Legislature last session approved funding for the Robinson Gym addition and the Med Center radiation center.
The $6.7 million addition to Robinson Gymnasium is expected to ease crowd conditions caused by recent sharp increases in health, physical education and recreation classes. The Kansas legislature last week approved a $20,000 for Robinson addition plans.
The addition will include a number of classrooms and research laboratories.
The $3.5 million Med Center radiation therapy center will have sophisticated
cancer examination and treatment equipment. Most of the building will be underground to provide energy conservation and radiation shielding.
INCLUDED IN the energy-saving projects the Regents approved is a power management computer system. The Regents authorized KU to request $165,000 this year from the legislature for the system and $440,000 in the next two years.
The computer system will operate from a central location, controlling more efficiently the power for 12 to 14 buildings, Max Lacas, director of facilities planning,
In other Regents business affecting KU, a revised voluntary early retirement plan for faculty members at the seven Regents institutions was given initial support.
THE PLAN would pay up to 60 per cent of a faculty member's annual salary to his retirement fund and would extend health benefits for faculty members to age 62 for faculty members who retire at age 62.
members who will be bengal. The proposal will be sent to faculty governance groups at all Regents institutions for further examination, at the
urging of Regents' chairman Walter Hirsteiner.
"The faculty anoun be immeiren, and it should be impressed upon them, that we are looking on herely on this as palatable one," he said. "Friday. I hope they receive it in that vein."
The Regents also approved the onboarding:
* The awarding of contracts for part of fixed equipment and casework to be installed at the $5 million installation on the Med Center. One contract for $404,199 went to the American Desk and Manufacturing Co., and another contract for $74,713 went to Hamilton Industries. Two Rivers, Wis.

The hospital is scheduled for completion late next year.
- A STATEMENT expressing the *maintenance of quality in graduate education*.
- A request to the State Finance Council for $30,000 in emergency repair funds for curbing and resurfacing of Burdick Drive, which is between the new law school building and Jayahawk Towers. The drive was damaged recently by heavy rains.
Food budget rebate checks probably will be delivered to residents of five University of Kansas scholarship hall this week, as the rebate will not be as large as the residents expected.
- Funds of $3,000 to pay for repairs and repairing on the campground door of two vehicles

resignation yesterday.
Sen. Abraham Rubico, D-Conn., chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, said last night that Lance was "looking worse" as a result of the testimony, which focused on reported improprieties in Lance's private banking practices.
A spokesman for Sen. Charles Percy, R-III, said earlier that Percy thought Lance should resign because the investigations continued to raise questions about his actions.
On Labor Day, Ribcoff and Percy had told President Jimmy Carter that Lance should resign, but Lance came away from last week's testimony determined to stay in office.
Report blasts fire safety officials
The report added that in 1971, Southworth approved specifications for remodeling the club—despite 10 violations of the state fire and safety code. The report, prepared by the state fire marshal's office, is to be the basis of an official subcommittee hearing in Cincinnati on a proposed national fire code.
Kentucky Gov. Julian Carroll announced at a briefing last night that fire marshal Warren Southworth and two other officials had been suspended for "ineffective enforcement" of fire laws.

housing department records indicated that last year's residents in five halls would receive checks, but that no resident would receive more than $20.
That statement contradicts accounts kept by the scholarship hall directors of 1976-77, who estimated that most residents would receive more than $20. OneAIL, Grace Pearson, thought its residents should receive at least $50 each.
A $2 DIFFERENCE could mean a $1,000
house payment, housing department
facilities or those of the other.
Kent Ervin, all Scholarship Hall Council (ASHC) president, said that the six halls operating under the rebate system were Sellards and Douthart, the two halls, and Battetton, Grace Pearson, Peteren and Stephenpen, the four men's halls.
In those halls, Ervin said, nearly a third of the overall budget—about $350 a person a year—is allotted for food.
The other two women's halls, Miller and Watkins, do not have the same budgeting system. Their residents pay a smaller amount than the other halls, but have to buy their own food.
If the residents of the six halls overspend their food allowance by more than $5 a man, each resident must make up his share of the difference. If the budget is underspent by more than $5 per man, the University must refund the excess.
THAT ANY CHECKS will arrive at all is
the result of a dispute this fall between the ASHC and the housing department. At the end of the last school year, Ervin小姐 officers of the ASHC said they would be under the food expenditures and decided they were under the budget. But the officials in the housing department disagreed and told the halls that no money would be returned, because they had stayed close to the building.
But Candiin said last week it appeared there would be some small rebates in the B18
"It didn't seem strange at all that they all met the budget," Candlin said. "Last year they all had some kind of refund, but the costs went up so drastically."
The food budget was the same this year as last year.
Ervin said that the residents each got between $20 and $70 last year.
between this time, Grace Pearson counted on a 500 rebate for each resident, Sellars, $35; Pearson, $25, and Stephenson, $20.
Douthit residents will check their books this week to determine any claims, and Ervin said Battenfield's resident director from last year failed to keep usable records.
"ASHC asked for an accounting of the food expenditures." Ervin said.
Candin promised him the accounting more than a week ago but it has not arrived.
Candlin said that the accounting department had been sluggish in answering the request, but that he was on the floor at the time. The results would be sent to the halls then, he said.
Black Greeks considering ties with Panhellenic, IFC
Although the six black sororites and fraternities at the University of Kansas have considered joining the Panhellenic Association or the Interfraternity Council (IFC) as associate members, no decisions have been made in that direction.

THE BLACK sororites and fraternities have considered associate membership, rather than full membership, in Panhellenic and IFC because of differences in rushing and pledging procedures. Rush activities vary with each of the six groups and only one, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, has a house. With associate membership, the

Two Owls to quit over vote to stay all-male
BY JOHN WHITESIDES
Staff Writer
At least two members of the Owl Society, a junior men's honorary group, will resign from the organization because of its recent decision to remain all-male.
"I find it hard to justify staying in the group if they won't allow women in," Robinson said. "I don't believe in that and I'd feel like a hypocrite.
Reggie Robinson, Robinson junior, and Chris Caldwell, Overland Park junior, said yesterday that they were preparing to submit letters of resignation to the group.
"I don't think it was even given serious
attention. I just knew the points were just
taken about in discussion."
Robinson and Caldwell said their resignations were not attempts to persuade or dissuade them.

Gregory, Kansas City, Kan., filed suit
Student denied injunction in bias case
Iac Gregory, a black student at the KU Medical Center, has been denied a temporary injunction against him to remain in his apartment during a discrimination suit Gregory filed against KU.
Word of the Day: Friday from the office of David Dysart, legal counsel to the Med Center, that Gregory would be allowed to remain in school until he was ordered under order forbidding the University from keeping Gregory out of school will run out.
against the Med Center in July in federal district court, saying he had been racially discriminated against. He had failed his first year of medical school for the second time and was recommended for dismissal, a recommendation that he said was caused by discriminatory grading procedures in his Gregory. While his case was pending, Gregory was attending classes on a temporary restraining order.
frank P. Barker III, Gregory's attorney,
Saturday would not comment on whether
further action would be taken against the Med Center. Dysart said Gregory would have to file an appeal of the decision by Tuesday if any action were to be taken.
If no action is initiated by Gregory, the decision will stand and Gregory will befered to leave school. If he appeals to the U.S.Court Court of Appeals, the case could go to trial. But Dyatt asserts in the case, the district court's refusal to grant an injunction was an indication that Gregory's case did not have enough merit to go to trial.
