Committee to pick firm for redevelopment plan
The second week of August will be a busy one for members of the Lawrence Department of Conservation.
In a three-day period the committee, which has coordinated the downtown development plans, will interview all projects interested in undertaking the project.
The nine developers who sent letters of interest to the city are: Steve Clark, Lawrence; Copaken, White & Blitt, Leewood; Development Control, Northfield, III; Leo Eisenberg & Co., Kansas City, Mt.; Forest City Enterprises, Cleveland Ohio; John Burke Inc.ams Kenner, La.; Sizler Realty Inc.; Kenner, La.; Ken Tucker & Associates, Skokie, Ill.; and Two Crowns, Fort Worth Texas.
THE FOCUS committee, a five-member subcommittee of the downtown committee, decided Thursday that the interviews would be open to the public.
town businessman Pete Whiteenight, has been working with the city's planning department over the past few months to attract developers to Lawrence.
Whitenight said that after the August interviews, the downtown committee would narrow the number of finalists to three or four.
From that group, the committee will choose one developer to recommend to the city commission, which will give the final approval.
The subcommittee, chaired by down-
According to a time schedule set up by the downtown committee, city commissioners will make their choice by the end of September.
The focus group will meet with the rest of the downtown committee Monday, July 19, to draw up a list of specific questions to be sent to each developer. We will be in the commission chambers at O'Hall and will be open to the public.
Lawrence a nuclear target. official says
Shelter, relocation planned
By ANDREW de VALPINE Staff Reporter
Lawrence is targeted.
As a population center of more than 50,000, Lawrence meets the requirement for a high-risk area in the event of nuclear war, Phil Leonard, coordinator of emergency preparedness for Douglas County, said recently.
"At least that is what our intelligence studies tell us," Leonard said.
Whether the Russians have a map indicating all the areas they would want to bomb, which we say they do, is another matter," he said.
BUT JUST IN case the bombs do begin to fall, two systems designed for self-preservation have been prepared, Leonard said.
The first system, based on the assumption that an attack will be a surprise, is a shelter program, he said. Scattered throughout Lawrence are 59 designated shelter areas. Leonard with a total capacity for 90,000 people.
The reason for such a large capacity was that planners could not count on a population base because of the University.
Shelters are housed in banks, mu-
tual buildings, and other university buil-
dings.
STUDIES ARE DONE by federally structural engineers approximate
building's capacity. The last study was done nine to 19 years ago, Leonard said, and another will be done in about a year.
"Time changes terrain," Leonard said.
Instability of a building might occur where it was stable before, he said.
Finding a shelter might be a problem if Lawrence is attacked, he said.
"The shelters are all marked as fast as we can keep them marked, but as many people steal the signs as I have (people) putting them up. It's a full-
THE SECOND SYSTEM, the one that has generated the most controversy nationwide recently, is the crisis relocation plan.
"This plan is set up on the basis that you know you're going to war before the war actually starts." Leonard said.
One critic of the strategy, Matthew Leighton, a member of the Traprock Peace Foundation, Mass., said that would be like the first chess move.
Leighton spoke June 29 to an informal gathering of about 50 people at Plymouth Congregational Church, 935 Vermont St. He said he was spending the day traveling around the country giving talks on the dangers of crisis relocation
duce tension is absurd," he said. "Instead, it would signal the opening of hostilities."
THE IDEA is to disperse people to other areas that are not target areas as designated by the federal government, Leighton said.
The controversy arose because people think that the government is trying to dupe the public into believing that a nuclear war is survivable. Leighton
Civil defense planning for disaster purposes is not what ranks him. Leighton said. Planning for a nuclear war does.
"The idea that evacuation would re-
I try to show that the plans don't hold water. It morally outrages me that certain aspects of the plans are given importance, and war are neglected." Leighdon said.
THE GOVERNMENT is trying to tell the public that if it follows crisis relocation guidelines then people can talk in front of him,anning a nuclear war, Leighton said.
"Our leadership is insulting us by offering a placebo of civil defense," he said.
Leonard said the reality was that nobody really knew how successful relocation would be.
"The United States has never even been attacked," he said. "Nobody has any idea what a nuclear holocaust means."
But that should not deter the government from having a plan, he said.
CURRENTLY, the crisis relocation plan is incomplete, Leonard said.
"If you can save one life, you could consider it a defense."
Crisis relocation is a step-by-step plan with three phases, he said.
Host areas for Lawrence residents are in Franklin, Allen and Anderson counties, he said.
The second phase involves the host areas. These are areas where people from high-risk areas will flee to, Leonard said.
Unfortunately, those counties would not know what to do with an influx of people as the relocation plan now exists. Leonard said.
"We've only finished with the first phase," he said. The first phase for Lawrence is having a plan of escape from his destinations predetermined, he said.
THEY DON'T KNOW where they are going to shelter the people, he said.
The third phase of the plan is to supply those people with what they need to survive while they are cloistered and waiting for things to clear up, he said.
Crisis relocation is based on the assumption that everyone will do what they are told to do, Leonard said.
KU supervisor dies after short illness
"It is a voluntary thing. I don't suppose you could convince everybody to leave and certainly not going to hold a gun to their heads and force them to evacuate," he said.
Norman C. Stuart Sr., supervisor of facilities for the athletic department, died Saturday evening at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after a short illness.
Stuart, 53, had worked for the athletic department for 14 years.
Floyd Temple, assistant athletic director, said yesterday "I think the University of Kansas, and specifically the UCLA football team, has lost a loyal and dedicated man."
'Everything that he did with our players and the supervision on the field
meant a great deal, because he did a super job," Temple said.
Stuart is survived by his wife, Mrs. Betty Stuart, three sons, Norman Jr., 21 Pine Cone; Michael and Lymn, of the Oakland School District, brother, George of Oksaloa.

Naismith's detour closes because of unstable soil
Unstable soil beneath the detour on Naismith Drive has caused city officials to close a portion of the street, as it has been impacted by Facilities Operations, said recently.
The Lawrence City Commission voted Tuesday to night close in Naismith Drive to through traffic from 19th Street to Sunsilyside Avenue. The road will be closed for about 30 days. Anderson said, but one lane of traffic may be opened in about two and one-half to three weeks.

One tunnel will be from Robinson Gymnasium to the northeast corner of Allen Field House, and another will be an extension of a tunnel between Summerfield and Haworth halls to Murphy Hall, Wierched said.
The tunnels will allow utility companies to put lines through the structures, he said.
