County grants $122,047 to Lawrence programs
Local service groups were allocated $122,407 in county revenue-sharing funds yesterday by the Douglas County Commission.
Commissioners awarded the funds to 16 groups from a total of $432,607 in re-reviving grants granted to Doughas County. These grants were also needed for county capital improvement projects.
The purpose of the revenue-sharing funds is to return a part of the tax dollar to the local community for use as the local officials see fit. Such action avoids red tape in Washington and brings the decision back to local government.

myth
"In deciding which people-programs should be funded," Robert Neis, county commissioner, said, "the county has to avoid giving money when there is a possibility that funds could be found elsewhere."
AN EXAMPLE of this came yesterday when the commission refused to allocate $10,000 requested by the Elizabeth M. University charity Museum, 1047 Massachusetts St.
Commissioners said the next funding period,starting Jan. 1,1979, probably would help fund that program.
Ann Clausen, museum director, said the money was needed for a "master plan of development," which had the goals of im- plementing the building to allow use by the handicapped.
"We plan to go on seeking funding," Chosen said, "and have other means, such as scholarships."
GROUPS RECEIVING revenue-sharing funds were: Planning Council for Services for Aging $21,800; Douglas County Visit Nursing Nurses Homeworker Program, Nurses Association Homemaker Program,

Caldwell recently was nominated for the permanent job by Steve Leben, student body president, after having acted as treasurer since mid-June.
Senate to consider Caldwell for treasurer
A measure of "continuity" will be provided for the Student Senate treasurer's office if the acting treasurer gets the job, or to Chris Caldwell, acting Senate treasurer.
And if Caldwell is approved by the Senate when it concludes Sept. 4, he will be the first beneficiary of a $50-a-month raise for the position. As acting treasurer, he made $90 a month — $10 less than the regular treasurer would.
Originally he had planned to resign from the office Sept. 15, he said, but urging Senate members and worry over "the integrity" of the office led him to try to stay

Four treasurers have come and gone in the last year.
"I FELT some continuity was necessary." Caldwell said.
Leben said Caldwell was the logical man, because of his experience and fiscal conservatism.
Lauwen, an Overland Park junior, spent the summer preparing a $33,361 internal budget for the Senate — almost $10,000 less than the Senate had appropriated to run
itself. Surplus money goes back to a Senate general fund.
Tom Mitchell, Senate business manager,
will resign Sep. 1 or 2. The manager's
position was developed last year by Tedde
Tasheff, former student body president.
Leben took advantage of the resignation to drop the business manager's office from the payroll. The abolition of this office has been made possible by the creation of a new position, administrative assistant to the treasurer.
The treasurer's monthly salary of $150 and the assistant's of $240 will be higher than those of Leben ($125) and Rajph Munyon, student body vice president ($100).
The former position of business manager was listed at $650 monthly.
