Living groups to dance for muscular dystrophy
The KU organized living groups have banded together to sponsor a 24-hour Superdance for Muscular Dystrophy, scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Friday, April 2, and end at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 13.
Pankhelenic, the Interfraternity Council, the Association of University Residence Halls and the All Scholarship Hall Council have been working together to organize the marathon dance and have challenged Kansas State University to raise more money with its 64-hour Bum-a-Trom for MD.
"I don't know of any other activity that has involved so many different kinds of people," Jennie Seltz, Topanga Superdance chairman, said yesterday.
Setz said that planning for the Superdurance was in full swing, and that committee members would be con- dential to follow suit. But the end of next week to enlist support.

Seitz said the committee was hoping to attract 100 to 150 dancers for the
A weekend trip for two to Houston will be the first prize awarded to the dancer who raises the most money through sponsors, and the second most successful dancer will spend a weekend at the Hilton Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri.
Seitz said that officials from the Muscular Dystrophy Association's office in Kansas City, Mo., were in charge of lining up the prizes for the dancers.
Superdance committee members have been busy soliciting help from area businesses, asking them to provide meals for the dancers or prizes for the many events that will go on throughout the night.
Seitz said that the Superdance was not for dancers only. She said the programming committee was busy planning events for the spectators to get them involved and to give them something to do besides drinking beer.
Kansas residents can use their income tax forms to help preserve 16 endangered and eight threatened species of wildlife in Kansas, the director for state's Nongame Program said last night.
By GINA THORNBURG Staff Reporter
A special box on Kansas income tax forms, nicknamed the Chickadee Checkoff, allows residents to donate part of their taxes to the Kansas Nongame Wildlife Improvement Program, said Marvin D. Schwilling, the program's project director.
Schwilling talked about wildlife preservation—including the preservation of common wildlife as well as threatened and endangered species—to an audience of 50 people in the Natural History Museum.
"The Chickadee Checkoff is the only way we're going to have a successful, aggressive program for nongame wildlife," Schwilning said.
Staff Reporter
He said although other states, such as Colorado and Oregon, had had similar programs before Kansas had begun its program, Kansas program had become a common because of two unique provisions.
In the Checkoff's first year, Schwiling said, 23,000 people contend with a lack of wildlife Fund. This money provided capital for nongame wildlife work.
She said the format would be like that of a "town-meeting," an informal gathering to give people the chance to share their concerns and ideas about what affirmative action should be doing.
A completed three-year project, supported partially by the wildlife fund, was a study of the black-footed animal's rarest mammal in North America.
In Kansas, all state taxpayers have the opportunity to support the program, not just those eligible for a tax refund. Also, Kansas income tax forms each provide a special box in which to write larger contributions.

Although he does not have photographic documentation of this animal in Kansas, Schwelling said he has seen no evidence that the ferret still exists. each year that the ferret still exists.
Kansans' taxes aid wildlife
This is the first time the board has sponsored a public forum of this kind.
The advisory board is made up of 12 members, including faculty, students, and classified unclassified personnel. The Advisory Board is involved in the action and minority affairs and the
Chickadee Checkoff into law in May 1980, Schwilling said.
"In my tenure at the University, this is the first time we have had the chance to have this type of workshop," he said.
Mike Edwards, director of affirmative action, said Tuesday that he was pleased that the board was having the meeting.
The academic community of the University of Kansas is extensively involved in the Chickadee Checkoff.
Barbara Ballard, chairman of the Advisory board, said yesterday that the meeting would be this Saturday from 9 a.m. on Tuesday to the Big Eight Room of the Big Apple.
This weekend, students, faculty and staff members will have the chance to let their concerns and ideas be known to the Affirmative Action Advisory Board.
Schwilling said the heart of the Nongame Wildlife Program was contract work with qualified people, usually of the academic community.
Ronald McGregor, director of the KU Herbarium and State Biological Survey, leads the fund's activities at KU. KU employees hold positions on five of the committees reporting to the Nongame Wildlife Advisory Council, which assists and guides many of the program's activities.
Campus board to hold affirmative action forum
A project currently underway is one in which the swallowtail kite is being re-introduced to Kansas, Schwilling said.
"I'm sure they're still in western Kansas," Schwilling said. "We can't write them off yet."
The program has also assisted in nuisance wildlife control, according to Schwilling. For example, tapes of starlings' distress calls have been distributed to Kansas residents, he help disperse these problem birds.
executive vice chancellor are ex officio members.
She said that although this was the first meeting the board had ever held, he had always been open to suggestions from any member of the University.
Ballard said the board was hoping that this meeting would enable it to do a more representative job for the University of Kansas.
"We, by no means, know what the greater part of the campus feels," Ballard said.
"I am really glad to see a board moving in this direction."
Researchers offer reclamation plan
By VINCE HESS Staff Reporter
Two KU researchers, after studying abandoned coal mines in Kansas, have developed options for the reclamation of the land, they announced recently.
"We think the federal authorities will approve the reclamation plan in about a month," Rolfe Mandel, research officer at the KU Center for Public Affairs, said.
"Once approval is received, the plan will take effect immediately. It will last 10 years."
The options for reclamation are traditional agricultural use, fish and game use and alternative agricultural use, Mandel said.
BECAUSE OF sulfuric acid left behind by the coal, treatment with lime and fertilizer is necessary for the land and soil to recover. The treatment costs $1,400 an acre, he said.
Mandel and Lee Williams, professor of geography at the Space Technology Hall, explained their work to about 30 faculty and students at a seminar recently.
The cost of converting land to fish and game use is only $245 an acre because such areas can use acid-tolerant vegetation, Mandel said.
Such a use could resolve the problem of homogeneity of much reclaimed land, he said. Although farmers and ranchers like flat land with few physical obstacles, others, such as hunter and environmentalists, want the reclaimed land to have trees and other cover for wildlife.
The pair worked on three projects, Mandel said. The first, an inventory of abandoned mines in the state, 90 per cent of which were destroyed in Kansas, was completed last March.
THE SECOND, a detailed study of nine nails, is still in progress. Mandel Siegel
The third is a state reclamation plan that was finished in September.
