Commission Amends Sidewalk Plan By CHUCK POTTER Kansan Staff Writer played most played skipped appeared poised polled n. and m. and colorized could from could from would would cent of cent of standing A lengthy discussion of a skeletal sidewalk plan for the area bounded by 19th, 23rd, Louisiana and Iowa streets ended Tuesday afternoon when the City Commission authorized the city staff to prepare a new plan with two amendments. The amendments call for the removal of proposed sidewalks on the east side of Naishtim Drive from 19th to 23rd streets from the plan and for the addition of the southwest corner of Iowa and 23rd to the benefit district. Public Works Director George Williams had introduced the original plan at the Nov. 21 commission meeting. The plan, which Williams said was the product of several years of research and development for 10,997 feet of sidewall in the area, which Williams estimated would cost $9,733. The plan showed sidewalks on both sides of Naismith Drive from 19th to 23rd, on the south side of 19th from Iowa to Louisiana, on the north side of 19th from Louisiana on the east side of Carolina from 21st to 22nd, on the east side of Ousdahl from 19th to 23rd, on the north side of 21st from Iowa to Louisiana, on a small section of Greever, connecting Alabama and Carolina on 22nd. THE ASSESSMENT method proposed by Williams Nov. 21 was front footwear, with adjustments for irregular and cul-de-sac lots. Williams estimated the cost at $1.61 a front foot. The sidewalk will be four feet wide and four inches thick. The benefit district will include the school property of Centennial, Schwegler and Lawrence High, and is generally bounded by 19th, 23rd, Louisiana and Iowa streets. Commissioner Jack Rose strongly urged Tuesday that letters be mailed to each person in the benefit district outlining the plan. City Clerk Vera Mercer said that after the new proposal has been developed and the match is made, the new plan would be presented in a meeting, "probably sometime in January." If the commission should then pass a resolution ordering construction of the sidewalks, a public hearing would be set and persons in the benefit district would have 20 days to file a protest petition, Mercer said. Mayor John Emick said "You can't blame the commission. There seem to be a lot of people in this area who want sidewalks, and they initiated this." Lloyd Davies, of 1645 W. 19th, asked whether the proposed sidewalks would be made. Williams said they would not be made sanded. Williams said of sidewalk tended to wash out easily. SEVERAL AREA residents attended the commission meeting to offer opinions on the plan and to ask questions. Mrs. Arthur Chandler, a retired nurse, reported in mission why they were so anxious to put IN OTHER BUSINESS, the commission rejected two bids for the sale of the old library located on the northwest corner of Ninth and Vermont streets. Several residents backed the proposal for varying reasons. The increase in traffic in the area in the last several years and the increased number of pedestrians residents walking along Nassmith were cited more sidewalks in when people in other areas were having trouble maintaining the sidewalks. Rose said that both bids, which we received Monday morning, did not come up. Ms. Rhea was very happy. The commission accepted a bid from American LaFrance of Emira, N.Y. for an aerial ladder fire for the Fire Department. One woman simply said, "I'm tired of walking in the mud." A bid from Jim Clark Motors of $29,390 for 11 new police vehicles was accepted by the court. The commission accepted a bid for 15-five-row bleachers, five-10-row bleachers, and eight players' benches for the city park department from Miracle Equipment Co. of Baltimore to its manager Buford Watson said the bleacher was used in the Louie Holcom Sports Complex. IN OTHER business, the commission: the county are now approved a site place the Ballen's tail center to be located at the northwest corner of Ballen's property. --approved resolution No. 3885 ordering the paving and Lynn Street from Haskell Avenida Bayfront -approved a site plan for the Lawrence Country Club located on Country Club Terra. -authorized payment of $8,663.75 to the Douglas County Civil Defense Fund for the city's share of the cost of 12 civil defense warring sensors. - set 10 a.m. Dec. 27 as the date to receive bids for the purchase of several sanitation equipment items, including two packer trucks. - approved an ordinance ordering no parking from the south side of Greewer Terrace from Carolina Street to Louisiana Street. authorized the mayor to enter into a depository contract with the First National Bank of Lawrence for the purpose of depositing federal revenue sharing funds. Beer Now Permitted In 3 More Sororities By JOYCE PRUESSNER Kansan Staff Writer Beer was once forbidden in all sorority houses at the University of Kansas, but this year a few houses are changing their policies to make sorority life less restrictive. Alpha Phi and Alpha Phi and Alpha Chi Omega societies are allowed to drink beer in their houses. Delta Delta Delta recently was notified that it was one of 10 Tri Delta chapters chosen to participate in a pilot program that allowed beer in chapter houses. The chapter drew up a beer proposal in March and sent it to the national organization. At its national convention during the summer, Tri Delta's national policy on alcoholic beverages was scrutinized and the pilot program was established. The Kansas chapter was informed Nov. 7 that it would participate in the project. (continued from page 1) Academic Officers' Report .. BEER IS NOW allowed in any non-public area of the Pacific Delta region to drink, park or walk in public areas, for public use. director, Nichols said that other names he wanted to move fast on the appointment. "Lonborg was available, he was willing and his career as athletic director qualifies him to play." The chancellor said the initial work had started on the preparation of next year's budget. "The internal process is starting now," he said. "The vice chancellors have given the deans some guidelines for the preliminary work of putting recommendations together." "ALL 18-YEAR-OLDS in Kansas can drink, and there is no reason why we shouldn't also," said Barbara Rademaker, Kirkwood, Mo., senior and Tri Delta president. "The biggest worry of our organization is liability insurance." The Alpha Phi house has had a beer policy on a trial basis since October. The idea was first suggested last spring, but was defeated, according to Marty Hyten, Wellington junior and president of the house. In October the beer question arose again, Hyten said, and after securing approval from the governor in favor of an adviser, the Alpha Platinum beaten the house. The trial period will last until the end of the semester and the decision on the continuance of the program will be made in January. BEER IS NOT allowed on the first floor of the house or in the parking lot, and beer cans must be disposed of in designated waste cans. Hven said. "IT'S A GOOD possibility that having beer in the sorority may help in encouraging more girls to participate in activity," she said. "You can have beer in homes and apartments. Now you can see what it's like in our type of situation." Cathy Brown, Wichita senior and president of Alpha Chi Omega, said that during the summer the Alpha Chi Omega code of conduct at its national convention. "We have a fairly liberal national," she said. "They are quite reasonable." THE HOUSE made up a list of guidelines regarding the use of beer and sent them to its national organization and to the dean of women at KU for approval. The restrictions allow drinking only in the study rooms and on the back patio.
