Discontinued air service alters free trip flights
By LISA GUTIERREZ
By LISA GUTIERREZ Staff Reporter
KU students who won free trips to Mexico last month in a contest sponsored by Texas International Airlines may have to change their flight plans.
Trips must now be made by the last day of February, because the airline is terminating its air service to Kansas City, according to Bruce Hicks, staff vice president of public relations for Texas International.
"We didn't know we were pulling out of the market at the time of the contest," Hicks said. "In fact, we'd certainly hoped it would turn business aces."
The service termination was announced on Jan. 28, five days after the airline gave away 69 trips to Mexico and U.S. territories. The records in Overland Park, he said.
TRIPS WERE awarded to the first 50 people who showed up at the record store in bathing suits.
Hicks said the Houston-based airline, which has serviced Kansas City since June 15, 1978, terminated its service because of economic reasons.
"For some months we have not been
boarding as many people as we'd like," he said. "It's never met our expectations."
He said the air traffic controller's strike in August had an adverse impact on the service.
People now must use their round-trip tickets before services end on Feb. 28. Hicks said.
"Fewer controllers means fewer flights," he said. "And in order to do some new飞ying from Houston, we can give us some slips in the least expensive cars."
Many of the 50 people who won trips were KU students, he said. Only 28 people have been notified of the changes in flight deadlines and service terminations. Hicks said, because the students had won the tickets, the students who had won the tickets.
"They were originally told they had to travel by Feb.28," he said.
BUT BECAUSE many were students who had spring breaks during March, the airline required to extend the deadline to April 15, Hicks said.
"That was all fine and good until they made a determination a week later to suspend services," he said.
Labor officials review KU's affirmative action
By ANN WYLIE Staff Reporter
Labor Department officials are conducting the first review of KU's affirmative action policies, Mike Edwards, director of affirmative action,
The Office of the Federal Contract Compliance Program has reviewed specific KU policies before, such as TITLE IX, but has never reviewed KU's affirmative action policies generally, Edwards said.
"This is routine. They have been routinely reviewing educational institutions." he said.
The OFCC has reviewed, or is in the process of reviewing, all the Kansas Board of Regents' institutions except Kansas Technical Institute, Edwards
In January, the OFCP began looking at KU's affirmative action plans and goals to see if they were sufficient. It will also check KU for its implementation of these plans and goals.
KU's affirmative action plan includes policies for salaries and benefits, recruitment and selection, and training, transfer and promotions.
There are separate policies for administra-
tion, unclassified staff and staff staff.
The first stage of the review's three-stage process is a desk audit, Edwards
in the desk-audit review, the OFCCP reviews the written affirmative action plan, guidelines for hiring, work force analysis, and job group and availability analysis, among other things. Edwards said.
"Basically, we're still in the desk audit stage," he said.
This stage could take as long as two months. Edwards sent the desk-suited materiality report to the mid-afternoon and expects the office to complete the review by March 1.
Then the OFCP will begin an on-site review. Edwards said.
During the on-site review, representatives from the OFCCP will spend from several days to several weeks in March interviewing University officials, employees and students.
In the final stage, the OFCCP will determine whether changes will have to be made.

West Library plan delayed
Dean Jim Ranz was planning funds for the $23 million library were requested in last year's University legislature but had not been allocated.
The Kansas Legislature probably won't allocate planning money for a new West Library this year, the KU dean of libraries said recently.
SAMUEL H. ASHER
(818)-421-5808
"In the last 100 years this is probably the worst time to be asking for money, when government funnels it is being cut everywhere," Ranz said.
Even though the Legislature has not yet allocated any money for the library, he said, it hired the academic staff. The library's Mitchell last year to study the plans.
"The study is now in process, and it alone will cost the University $100.000." Ranz said.
THE WEST LIBRARY, which is to be built where the military science building now stands, was endorsed by the University administration and the Board of Regents in 1977 when they also endorsed the renovation of Watson Library, he said. It has not been decided where the military science building would be relocated.
Watson, he said, is used mainly by students and faculty in the humanities and social sciences; the West Library will be designed for students as well as the sciences of professional school, including the School of Engineering.
"Presently, the School of Engineering is trying to raise private mouses to build more space in the new West Library is built."
"The engineering library's facilities are atrocious," Ranz said. "The library is very cramped, and the lighting is poor."
After the library is built, Ranz said, the engineering library will be turned into classrooms.
On the night of Friday, June 19, Mike McAfee looked outside the kitchen window of his trailer house and watched debris blow by.
Crisis not gone with the wind
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
"I think it's a tornado," he said to his wife, Susan. Shean helped his house move and explore the land.
Staff Reporter
Mike Reese said that he left his unharmed sons Jason, 10, and Dustin, 15 months, in the bedroom of their trailer house and walked into the living room where his wife, Jeannie, and son Mike, 14, were trapped under a television and couch. Peach pulled the T.V. and couch off his wife and son. An ambulance arrived 10 minutes later and took his wife and son to the hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries.
But although most of the residents and owners of these buildings have recovered, some mental and physical scars linger.
People whose homes and businesses were destroyed by last summer's tornado have rebuilt them now. The most severely damaged buildings were 1000 W. 31st St.; 1500s in the area of 27th Street and Lawrence Avenue; K-Mart, 3106 W. St.; Commerce Plaza, Gas and Mini-Mart, 3049 I. St.; Jim Clark Motors, and Jan's Interiors, their Furnishings Inc., 716 Connexit St.
Lyman Wiley, president of Jim Clark Motors, 2121 W. 29th St. Terrace, was at a golf course that night when his wife called at about 7:30 to tell him a tornado hit his business. He arrived at his 10-year-old firm to find a destroyed show room, demolished cars and fallen lights and fences.
Wiley also began putting things back together as soon as he could. The day after the tornado, the management of Jim Clark Motors, including Wiley, began a three-day 24-hour surveillance of the destroyed car lot and showroom.
The surveillance could not stop all the vandals, however, as good ornaments, wheel covers and other parts were removed from damaged cars left in the lot. Wiley said.
The first week after the tornado struck was traumatic for the McAfee family. Laundry detergent in the room left its mark on the eyes of Mike McAfee and his son, age 6. The detergent burned 90 percent of their eye coverings, McAfee said, blinding them for two weeks. The two have since recovered their vision, he
After the tornado, victims moved their belongings into a storeroom at Gasliight Village and cleaned up what was broken. Some began looking for new homes.
By Monday, Tom Fish moved into an apartment at Meadowbrook Apartments. Two months later he moved into an apartment at his home apartment, his present residence.
Aster the federal government denied Gov. John Carlin's first request for financial aid on July 11, President Reagan, on the recommendation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, declared Lawrence a disaster area on July 18. Homeowners were then eligible for loans of up to $260,000—$196,000 from the federal government and $65,000 from the state.
The tornado damaged $18 million of property in Lawrence.
"I never figured out why," he said.
Unlike Reese, most of the owners of the destroyed businesses didn't need financial aid.
Most of the trailer houses were insured. Mike Reese wasn't so lucky, however. Because his house wasn't insured, he was given a grant from the state. However, he was denied a federal loan.
Jan McCullough found a temporary location for Jan's Interior. Draperies and other furniture are also in use.
Roger Flory's gas attendants at the Commerce Plaza, Gas and Mini-Mart were pumping gas within a week. The rest of the plaza opened Sept. 15.
K-Mart, the most severely damaged business, with a torn-off roof, was the last business to reopen. Stanley Pittman, made 's own only victim, was in K-Mart.
reopening with T-shirts that read. "K-Mart: I survived the 1981 Lawrence Tornado."
susan McKelvey, a K-Mart Corp. publicity director, said it was the store manager's decision to sell a local item such as the T-shirts.
K-Mart christened its Nov. 19
K-Mart manager Ron Swanns refused to comment on the T-shirts.
Hubbel said the T-shirts were only used to us who survived it and didn't get hurt.
"I think that K-Mart is trying to capitalize, but I'm not offended" Alicia Fitzgerald.
"Fish called the T-shirts a "good gimmick" and a "badge of courage." He said he'd probably wear one if he knew it, moving to move away from Lawrence.
Although the victims are in new homes and are back in business, they say they can't completely forget July 19.
Susan McAfee still dreams about the tornado.
Phil Rankin and Fay Sanders have physical reminders of the tornado as they walk to their home.
Rankin, the assistant director of personnel at the University of Kansas, was driving in his car when its windshield caved in. He then alerted fellow Skywarm volunteers of the tornado, broadcasting over his face. As windshield recognized by Gov. John Carlin and the National Weather Service for his heroic warning, has not regained vision in his right eye.
Sanders, a custodian for the KU office of housing, suffered a back injury and lost her trailer home during the tornado. She said she still had a lot of pain in her back, which was broken in two places. Sanders is retiring from her job because of her injury, but said she was planning to retire anyway.
