Recall advocates, opponents set plans

Lawrence City Commissioner Tom Gleason's campaign to survive the May 11 recall election has received about 350 donations, donations, campaign, all dark night.
The campaign group has printed fewer than 200 signs, Gleason said.
Some of the money will be used to buy lawn signs that say "No Recall," Antonio, who is also a KU associate professor of sociology, said.
"We're trying to get the message across without cluttering up the city," he said. "We're facing the problem of more varduas than we have signs."
The recall election was placed on the ballot after the Lawrence Committee, a local group, led a petition drive to recall Gleason in response to Gleason's letter in February to City Manager Buford Watson.
Gleason suggested in the letter that Watson resign or face the possibility of
being fired, but he did not move to fire Watson during the commission's evaluation Feb. 18 and 20 of Watson's job performance.
The Lawrence Committee will begin a door-to-door campaign May 6 advocating the recall. Richard Harvick, the committee's board of directors, said.
But opponents of the recall election also are preparing for the election. Gleason said the No Recall Coalition had received donations from two groups of people, those who supported the recall and those who were opposed to the recall Election.
One example of a group opposed to the recall election is the Building Trades Council, which has donated $100 to the No Recall campaign, Gleason said, although it opposed him when he ran for office last April.
The council, which has a Lawrence membership of about 500 families in 11 trade unions, is opposed to Gleason's plan. The council will recall the recall election, Jim DeHoff,
DEHOFF SAID he signed the Lawrence Committee's petition to recall Gleason because the petition bearer told him its purpose was to prevent Gleason from moving to fire Watson.
executive secretary of the Building Trades Council, said.
It is difficult to tell whether there is increased voter interest in the May 11 election, Patty Jaines, Douglas County Clerk, said.
"We don't want to see something like this get started," he said.
The council's executive committee discussed the recall election and its members thought that the election could set an unwelcome precedent for recalling commissioners between elections. DeRoff said.
There are so more voters in Lawrence today than there were in January, she said.
Lawrence now has 27,672 registered voters, compared to 27,392 on Jan. 1 of this year.
On the record
A 28-year-old Lawrence woman was raped about 1:50 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the Country Playhouse, 800 W. 24th N., police said.
The victim met the suspect in the bar and offered to give him a ride home, police said. When the two went out to his car, the suspect raped the woman.
Police said they have a description of the suspect, but there have been no arrests.
Another Lawrence woman was raped sometime between 9:30 and 11 a.m. Saturday at a residence in the 2200 block of Harper St., police said.
The suspect, who was related to the victim, was inside the house before the rage occurred, police said. Police would not say anything more about the

once said
Police arrested Michael Ray
Singleton, Route 3, after he allegedly threatened a resident of the house.
Police said Singleton allegedly was speeding through an area where children were playing. The victim velled at Singleton to slow down.
Singleton then allegedly jumped out of the car, called the victim names and took her phone.
The victim got a description of the car and the suspect and called police. Police recognize the car and investigate blocks from the residence, police said.
Singleton is being held on $10,000 bond in the Douglas County Jud. His bond was doubled from $4,000 because he is a convicted felon, police said.
Police officers recovered the purse Saturday morning.
Faculty to set teaching goals at convocation
Burglargs entered the parked car and removed the purse which contained three rings, earrings and a wallet, police said.
Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, will hold a faculty convocation from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Stop Street to the Forum Room of the Kanaas Union.
Tacha and Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, will speak to faculty members and will answer questions.
BURGLARS STOLE a purse worth about $850 between 11:30 p.m. and midnight Friday from a parked car at New Hampshire streets, KU police said.
Tacha said they would talk about what happened this year and what next year's priorities would be.
She said the academic program would be discussed, "particularly as it relates to faculty members and their interests. We will be announcing several slightly new directions in the academic program."
Tacha also will announce the first of three new teaching professorships, meant to reward outstanding teaching. The winner will receive a $5,000 bonus. Two new professorships will be awarded, one in each of the next two years.

In a letter to the city, the railroad proposed to pay for half the cost of building the $200,000 overpass if the city pays the other half and all maintenance
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said yesterday that the master plan for the airport called for the construction of a terminal on a new site at the airport to replace the old one "pretty old and poorly designed."
If the commission approves a motion to request preliminary proposals, area architects and planners will be invited to attend a new airport terminal, Wilgadson sailed.
The railroad had originally offered to pay the entire cost of the overpass if the city agreed to close Fourth and Eighth streets at their interactions with the railroad, but Lawrence citizens protested the closing of Eighth Street, and the commission decided to only close Fourth Street.
The commission will begin at 7 p.m. in the commission chambers at city hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.

Also on tonight's agenda is a proposal from Union Pacific Railroad to build a pedestrian overpass at Fourth Street in North Lawrence.
said the remodeling would be finished sometime this summer.

The estimated cost for construction is $250,000, according to Wilden. Ninety percent of it would be paid with "unused funds" from a $1.5 million Federal Aviation Administration grant the citizen received in 1986 for the construction at the airport. The remaining 10 percent would be paid with city funds.
The new 5,000-by-100-foot runway, which is now under construction and is expected to be complete by fall, is being for about $1.3 million, Wildgen
THE COMMISSION also will decide whether to authorize City Manager Buford Watson to sign an agreement with N.R. Hamm, a construction firm based in Perry, to build a taxiway and airplane parking apron at the airport.
"The new runway will be able to handle smalllets." Wilden said.

DOUG HASSIG, co-owner of Johnny's, said yesterday that he and his partner, Rick Renfro, planned to remodel the upstairs of Johnny's, and open a private club with a maximum occupancy of about 70 people.
In other scheduled action, the commission will review a site plan for improvements at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.
The current runway measures 75 feet by 3,800 feet and is "a little too short for small jets."
If the commission approves it, Hassig
--and KLZR present:
The construction of a new ambulance station in Lawrence would bring the total number of stations in the city to two. Douglas County ambulances are now stationed in headquarters at 1839 Massachusetts St.
Commissioners also will consider selling land near Lawrence Memorial Hospital to the county so that a new Douglas County ambulance station can be constructed at the site located along the border between Missouri and Maine streets.
