"When you put dioxide, hello carbon monoxide, the air, the air is everywhere," the lyrics of an antinollution song tell us.
The air in Lawrence is still relatively free of pollution, and there is almost no danger to plants and art treasures, acclimatized students, and Kansas university professors and the director of Spooner Art Museum.
The Lawrence situation is contrary to other cities in the United States and the world, where researchers have planted that air pollutants may harm plant life and damage works of art.
RICHARD EASTMOND,
professor of botany, is involved in a study concerning the effects of carbon dioxide on Lawrence area. So far he has found that the plants in and around Lawrence are harmed by pollution. He said
Lawrence had fairly clean air. EASTMADD sound air pollution effects on plant life. He said it was difficult to pinpoint this effect because of all the other factors involved in damage. These other factors included the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and the damaging effect of carbon dioxide.
Rufus Thompson, professor of botany, also said Lawrence was the plant life in Lawrence was not by air pollution. Thompson said.
ANOTHER ASPECT of pollution damage is the cause of cancer in Charles Eldridge, director of Spooner Art Museum, even in the relatively pollution-free air of Lawrence, pollution damage does
"Over a period of time art is damaged by even the dust in the air. Some of the paintings we
have here in the museum need cleaning now. Unfortunately, on our small budget we can't afford it. We also cleaned that need it," he said.
In an air-conditioned, humidified environment such as Spooner's paintings do not have an uncontrolled environment. Eldridge said. He said the temperature in Spooner was kept roughly between 68 and 72 degrees and the humidity at 50 per cent.
In an uncontrolled environment, such as the old cathedral and a dwarf monastery, deteriorate at a much faster rate, he said. In Vienna, Eldridge said, pollution in the air and water causes algae to grow on Sulfur, found in both the water and the air; the earth is at limestone and rocky surfaces, so sculpture to deteriorate and crumble.

Administration.

"In fact, the committee may demand that enrollment is satisfactory," Calgaard said. "SenEx just made it worse; the war was worth discussion."
ACTING CHANCELOR Reynolds Nichols said, "I think such a plan of pre-enrolment is a bad idea," he said. "Concept isn't new and I hope

some kind of pre-enrollment will be in effect by the fall semester, 1973."
"This issue of pre-enrolment is just too big for our committee to do anything decisive concerning this program, so open hearings for faculty and students during our committee meeting to discuss pre-enrolment."
Emick said the commission had called the meeting to get the views of Lawrence citizens because the commission had considered for months what to do and did building and could not decide.

Commissioner Jack Rose said that the building, which stands on the 50-bay-117 feet lot, was unofficially appraised at "sub-$20 million" and that the estimated cost of renovation was about the same.
"It looks like a typical Carnegie library. I would not move into it because of the beauty of the museum." Nancy Hambleton said.
Kelly said he was glad the Academic Procedures and Policies Committee was going to meet the pre-enrollment proposal.
The prospective price the building is set at will, said it was "most significant" in the commission's deliberations. Buford Watson, city manager,

Presently, KU has no general pre-employment program. Bain University and Wichita State University utilize a pre-employment program.
Wiley said the Academic Procedures and Policies Committee couldn't pattern its study after the systems at K-State or other universities, so committee could learn from the other university's programs.
"I just hope something will come out of the discussions," Kelly said.
Hambleton also pointed out that the current city offices in the First National Bank building was more than the unable space of the old branch.
Butford Watson, city manager,

He said that the department's present facilities at 701 New Hampshire were supposed to be moved to a new library building had more room.
The department would need only the ground floor, Clinton said, and renovation could be done without a ground level entrance, the rololoisation of the light fixtures, painting and refinishing the floor.

Judge Walton granted the junction on the grounds that the court required him to for his land within the 30-day period of the tenure, an element domain law. The law requires payment of land owners within 30 days after notification of their request.
Brunn had also charged that the commission disregarded the law in appraising and making him an offer for the land.
