Fraternity House Rezoned
A request to rezone approximately 1.8 acres of property at 1329 West Ninth Street to allow for conversion of the former Theta Chi fraternity house into an office facility approved Wednesday night by the Lawal and Douglas County Planning Commission.
Richard Zinn, attorney and representative for Dan T. Prebott, owner of the property, presented the request, which asked that the property's present zoning as RD (residence dormitory) be changed to RO-2 (residence office).
Zinn said Plebb has "specific plans" to change the building on the property into a "very well done office facility." Zinn also said that hopefully the office building would be filled with tenants planning to hire University of Kansas students.
"Mr. Plebeth has several tenants tied up contingent on the approval for restoring." Zinn said, and is a "nonfunctional building."
Besides being the former home of Theta Chi, the building was used as a nursery before Pleboth acquired the property a few months ago.
ZINN SAID the commission should approve the request on the basis that approval would "make a non-functional building functional," and also because rezoning to RO-2 would generate less traffic flow than currently permitted under the RD zoning.
The planning commission will send the request to the City Commission with a recommendation for approval. The city commission will then make the final decision.
The planning commission also informally discussed a tentative list of planning priorities submitted by commission chairman Barkley Clark.
The ten-point list suggests development of a "mini-comprehensive plan" for the church, including the "possibility of a development association site planning, and appropriate amendments to the

county zoning resolution to better fit this unique area."
THE LIST also recommends:
- Working for the opening of Riverfront Park as soon as possible.
—Investigation of ways to encourage further renovation and restoration of Massachusetts street building facades in connection with the city's urban renewal program.
Exploration of possible amendment of city and county zoning ordinances to allow cities to extend their jurisdiction.

Art Project Proposes Five-Story Jayhawk
By DEAN CHERPITEL Kansan Staff Writer
A model of a proposed 20 story cultural-informational center, which would be a monument to the University of Kansas Jayhawk, was unveiled Wednesday at Strong Hall. A large Jayhawk would constitute the ton five stories of the building.
The project was designed by Jennifer Hennell, junior, and Lauret McLane, Fruillie Winn, and Danielle design class project for Roger Shimnura, assistant professor of painting and sculpture.
Although the Jayhawk monument was just a class project and will not actually be built, the two students investigated many of the angles and problems involved in locating and constructing such a monument in Lawrence.
The two students applied for loans to finance the project, interviewed residents in Massachusetts, Louisiana and 12th streets, informed the residents that they would have to move, made building schedules, appraised houses and cleared all legal comp

signed by several persons against the construction of the monument.
"One lady wrote us a letter saying we couldn't make her leave her home and that she would write President Nixon if she had to." Shontz said.
According to the designers, the building was intended to give community organizations such as the Jaycees, Optimist Club and Boy Scouts a place to meet and would also display the Kansas Jayhawk so would be seen from all over Lawrence.
Shontz and McLane estimated that the cost of the entire project would have been about $2 million, while the first 15 stories of the building was estimated at about $7 million. About $1 million each would have been spent for the big Jayhawk, a home-burrowing home owner and leasing the site.
The other major part of the project was devoted to the history of the Kansas Jayhawk and its influence on the entire community.
THERE WEERE also plans that 12th St. be renamed Blue Ave. and 13th St. would be renamed Green St.
"This is the most magnificent project I've ever undertaken in my life," Shontz said.
