City awards $700,000 in grants
By STEPHEN BLAIR Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night unanimously approved $27,800 in federal funds to help some East Los Angeles start a cooperative grocery store.
"The community will have to come with at least that much on its own." Barry Shalinsky, 833 Connecticut St., an organizer of the planned store, said.
The commission also approved $6,000 for the Oread Neighborhood Association to hire a half-time coordinator.
Those projects were among 27 requests that the commission concluded in June that it would $700,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds from the federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In other business, the commission unanimously approved City Manager Buford Watson's employment agreement.
The approved version was a compromise between Watson's original proposed agreement and one submitted by Mayor Marci Francisco.
The employment agreement followed an evaluation in February of Watson's job performance. It provides severance pay if Watson is fired.
During the allocation of CDBG funds, the Oread Neighborhood, which includes the area of older houses east of the KU campus, received $15,008 more than any of the other five neighborhoods.
"Our anti-crime grant and our VISTA grant expired, which were the sources
of all our staff funding," Sharyn Brooks Katzman, 1642 Tennessee St., an association volunteer, said.
The association's new half-time coordinator will organize volunteers for projects such as the neighborhood's spring cleanup on April 24.
During the discussion on Oread funding, Commissioner Don Binns objected to the Oread Neighborhood Association's request for more funds than the city's other five neighborhood groups.
But after the meeting, Commissioner
Binkley Clark defended the larger
alliance.
Oread gets more money because Commissioner Tom Gleason's there. Tom Gleason's there.
"Oread is the largest," he said. "It has the most complex programs."
Dos-a-dos could be Kansas state step
TOPEKA-A House committee yesterday gathered for testimony on a bill to establish square dancing as the state dance, then, without any goings-down of debate, swung the bill back to the House floor on a 12-4 vote.
No one testified against the bill. State Rep. Keith Farrar, R-Hugeton, who proposed the move, said the lack of opposition was understandable.
"You can't find a better bunch of
people than square dancers," said Farrar, a former dancer dancer
Farrar said he proposed the bill at the request of a few constituents, but also because he thought the Legislature should to "do something for the people."
"We haven't done anything to improve the state roads, school or
economy," he said, "so I thought we might as well spend some time on this."
Square dancing would be an appropriate state dance, said Farrar, because it involves people of all races, corps and social classes across the state.
"There's not a district in this state without a square dancing club," Farrar said.

Telenet offers college credit via TV
By TOM HUTTON Staff Reporter
Students can earn college credit while watching television—as long as that television is part of the Teletet program of six Kansas schools, Bob Senecal, dean of continuing education, said yesterday.
The Telenet program, which uses 33 closed-circuit television monitors throughout Kansas, is designed to offer a specialized curriculum to those who might be too far away to enroll in courses on university campuses.
The courses offered through Telnet range from nursing to music history and can be taken for either a foreign or undergraduate credit, Senecal said.
Each of the Regents schools is known for expertise in certain areas, Senecal said. However, many well-known KU courses cannot be found in Senecal format because research materials are only available on the campus.
"KU has a spotty history of participation," Senecal said. "In many of the KU programs, law for example, there isn't an undergraduate program. And there isn't another library that can provide materials for extensive research opportunities."
Programs in which KU does specialize, Senecal said, were special and music education courses and social welfare.
Senecal said that the Telenet program, which started in 1970, was not designed to replace traditional education, but to supplement it.
"It just not enough to say that a television course can replace college," Senecal said. "In reality, we have a mixture of the college settings."
Telenet courses are offered for equal credit as courses taught at a university, Senecal said. But mentionation for the courses is far different.
"There is no room for a professor to change his course in the middle of it," Senecal said.
Professors must prepare the entire course, which usually lasts 15 weeks, four weeks before the start of a semester. You can distribute the course materials.
The program is based at Kansas State University and is subscribed to by KU, Fort Hays State University, Pittsburgh State University, Emporia State University and Wichita State University.
Two KU students honored for rescue
Two KU students who pulled a woman from her burning home received fire department distinguished-service awards and were made fire Department last night at the Lawrence City Commission meeting.
Fire Chief McJim McSwan and Mayor Marci Francisco gave the awards to Craig Jarrett and Michael Hall, both Kansas City. Kan., juniors.
"This is the first time we've made such a presentation." McSwain said.
kitchen, where she had collapsed from smoke inhalation.
Jarrett and Hall rescued Margie Atteby from her burning home at 1417 W. 19th St. early in the morning March 6 as they were returning from a party. The men saw smoke pouring out of the house and immediately took action.
While Hall called the fire department, Jarrett checked to see if anyone was in the house. After discovering that the man had been into the house and pulled her from the
"We were very surprised about the award," Hall said. "It really wasn't anything anybody else wouldn't do."
"We knew they were going to congratulate us, but we had no idea they would do this," Jarrett said.
THE BOOK END
"The action they took at that time surely saved the life of the occupant of the house," McSwain said. "They performed a quite difficult task."
