Bicycles offer two distinct advantages over cars, as far as the University of Kansas student is concerned. First, the vehicles can
be reidden and parked on campus without permits. Second, most bicycles are smog-free, as the sign on this bike claims. Unfortunately, there still is a shortage of parking space on campus, so it may be hard to have to find other smog free vehicles when cold weather arrives.
City Inspection Campaign Forces Repairs in Off-Campus Housing
By BOB LITCHFIELD Kansan Staff Writer
Students living off camp immediately north and east of the University of Kansas may have movements in their neighborhoods.
Property owners in the area bounded by 10th, 14th, Tennessee counties are notified in June by the city housing department that they must make repairs in 60 days to the city's minimum housing code.
The area was singled out for a neighborhood inspection in a neighborhood completed last year by the Environmental Social and Environmental Studies
A door-to-door inspection of the neighborhood was conducted from January through March by City Building Inspector Gary Montague. Of the 182 buildings in the city were found to need repairs. This was the first inspection of such scope in Lawrence.
Many owners have been granted extensions, Montague said, because of financial hardships. He estimated that improvements to some of the properties cost them more than thousand dollars. Three persons own 28 of the structures, one person owns 13 of those, he said.
OWNERS WERE notified in June that they had 60 days to make the repairs and improvements. Montague said Monday that although the 60-day period was over, it would be three to four weeks before the city return to inspect the property.
Montague said the city was seeking voluntary compliance, a policy that requires flexibility.
"This is the first time we've attempted this, so what we are
doing is feeling our way," he said.
THE CITY can use force against uncooperative property owners by moving in and com- mitting the owner from filing a lien on the property against the owner's name. This action cannot be required, Montague said.
"We are mainly seeking to make owners aware that they must maintain and repair their property in accordance with the minimum housing code and to prevent them from being demolished than some have been in the past.
Montague undertook his personal inspection because of the area's unique nature.
"We have done spot checks of the area in the last few weeks, and they are being done there," he said. "I know of several of the owners have taken out electrical permits or improved the on- improvements."
"THEY ARE Mostly multiple-
lipoproteinase-IV walking distance of the campus, and the residents are more transient, than in other areas of the city."
In his study, originally presented to the Lawrence City Commission, Montague found numerous violations of plumbing, electrical and ventilation maintenance and accumulations. The City of Lawrence Minimum Structures Code was used as a guide.
The study showed that 38 per cent of the buildings had improperly water heaters with rain heaters without relief valves, and 56 per cent did not have enough water heaters.
Volations of minimum ventilation requirements were noted in the room and the screens or screen doors were down 51 per cent of the room.

'Who's Who'
Of '73 Class
Being Readied
Cliardi has taught on the subject of children's literature and has translated Dante's "Divine Comedy" into distributing a new magazine.
Resumes are now in the process of being collected for the job he is seeking. John Hackney, senior class president, the Who's Who is a booklet that lists the resumes of those who are looking for employment.
Started last year by the class of '72, the Who's Who included each senior's picture. However, this year's government ruling that bans pictures as a requirement for interviews, photos will not be
The booklet, to be completed in February, will be sent to every chamber of commerce in Kansas
John Waecher, Overland Park senior and a member of the jobs committee, is compiling the resumes.
"At almost any college in the United States you can get a B.A. without learning much of anything." Clardi said Monday. "We rumor statistics everywhere where are low—low three C's and a D."
"If a student is motivated to exceed the minimum it is still possible to get an education," he said.
INADEQUATE TOILET facilities were another problem area. Improper enclosure or ventilation of bathing and toilet facilities were found in 37 percent of the buildings. Four dwellings substituted kitchen appliances in violation of city code.
"A person motivated for more it can be if it wants," Clerdii said. "A person not motivated can get his piece of paper.
Clardi said many people in college received a good education in name only.
Montague said that he found no value in the measurements required of 150 square feet for each person in a unit and 50 square feet for each square foot.
"If a student is prepared to learn, he can," Clardi said. "That's an individual decision."
"A man is what he does with his attention. Education is a way of shaping a particular quality of life, particularly every man is self educated."
Ciardi said there were two types of people—slobs and snobs. The slobs, though likely, do not try to educate the minums of education or literacy.
"What I would like to see is a woman with two children. I could join—to be familiar with Dante may be snobbish—butcome free is free to familiar."
Montague said spot checks in the last several weeks have shown definite improvements in the area.
Rooms and hallways in need of wall or ceiling repair or painting were noted in 42 per cent of the cases. Forty-seven per cent of the cases.
buildings had an inadequate number of garbage cans, and 55 per cent were without lids for the cans.
"You can't have signs of
the vote if you don't get the
feet of the ballot box on election
day. Then you run into titles and
deems when it comes to the
election."
"WHAT I'm trying to sell is the state," she says. "According to the statute, the only things the secretary of state can place on the ballot are the state legislatures."

The Kansas State Supreme Court has ordered that State Rep. Boehner to deliver a speech at Prairie Village, must show why his name should not be struck from the ballot in New York's primary presidential, according to Arthur W. Douville, the man who challenged his primary election victory.
M.D. Tag Stirs Dispute
Douville, also of Prairie wu-
lvers, served on the republican nomination for state representative from Johnson County. Brauchi won,
the county's primary.
Douville contested Brauchi's certification as the Aug. 1 primary winner on the grounds that allowing the initials M.D. to appear after Brauchi's name on the medal would unfair advantage for Brauchi, a psychiatrist at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"My main theme is that before the election every candidate can tell people of his qualifications, his background, his education and how much better he is than others for the job," Douville said.
The second was a writ of mandamus asking that the State Contest Board of Kansas recount the election votes. The board earlier disallowed Douville's third said that Douville should be certified as the Republican nominee in place of Bauchi.
DOUILLER SAID Monday that he had filed for three actions before the Kansas Supreme Court to unjustify relief to prevent the secretary of state from placing his hand on the general election ballot.
Convict to Be Arraigned In County Court Today
The arraignment for Frederick Donald Macon, 30, the convicted suspect in the Randolph County, Mo., deputies in lawrence and was recaptured by Lawrence police, was condened to death on Tuesday in Douglas County Court.
Mike Elwell, Douglas County
attorney, said Monday that he had talked with Randolph County women without through a jury trial. Macon would be tried in Douglas County before his transfer to the Arizona State Penitentiary.
Macon, charged with aggravated kidnap and baited batten during the delay before Judge Charles Rankin to consult an attorney and the county prosecutor. He was represented by attorney Jack
Macon was to stand trial in Randolph County for scavenging from the Missouri Training Center for Men, where he served a sentence for aggravated robbery. He is now a co-owner. He was serving a life sentence for first-degree murder in the Arizona State Penitentiary.
He remains in the county jail under maximum security.
Macon escaped Thursday from a drive-in restaurant in Lawrence which he and the two carry him from Arizona to Missouri, were stopped to eat. After overpowering one of the deputies while the other was inside the restaurant, Macon allegedly kidnapped the deputy and fled to a wooded area with a vehicle. 10 miles east of Lawrence.
The deputy was found unharmed, handcuffed to a metal post. Macon was arrested in a Lawrence ternew Saturday
"When people looked at the two names and saw the仪的 M.D. they would think, 'This is a man of position,'" Douville said.
Douville said he was convinced that the addition of Brauchi's title to the ballot was unfair.
"ONE LADY said she was standing by the lever and didn't remember who she wanted to vote for. She didn't remember
what made her do it, but she voted for Brauchi.
"DOCTORS ARE well thought of in the community." he said.
Doville said he was partied because he thought the underdog would probably vote for the man with the title M.D. after his
Brauchi was out of town and unavailable for comment.
Douville said he was unhappy with one other aspect of the election.
"The thing that's most disturbing is that after all the door and hallway, waking door and hallway, out only 35 per cent of the registered voters turned out. I think each vote is important, and you want a way someone can determine his day to dille for office." Douville said.
