Now a murky stream, Lone Star Lake will soon reopen after repairs are completed.
Lone Star Lake to open soon
By CHRIS MYERS Staff Reporter
The 200-acre lake, 12 miles southwest of Lawrence, was drained in September 1980 so that a leaky floodgate could be repaired.
Lone Star Lake, a swimming and fishing spot for area outdoorsmen since 1934, will soon be ready to reopen.
"The lake is 23 feet below its normal level," now said Phil Moore, district fisheries biologist for the Kansas Fish and Game Commission. "We'll fill it as much as nature allows this spring. It will take a pretty good amount of rain."
The Kansas Fish and Game Commission started stocking the lake last summer by putting 7,450 fingerling large mouth bass; 25,168 one-inch blue bass; 19,030 three-inch bass; and 10,000 three-inch channel catfish into the lake, according to Moore.
Before the lake was drained, an overpopulation of crappie and carp caused a shortage of food in the lake. A study of the biocides of game fish present, Moore said.
"I wasn't around when it was drained but, from what I've heard, the bulk of fish left in the bottom of the lake were very small crappie," Moore said.

"It's kind of experimental in this
Moore said. He can get up to
15 pounds."
The lake will be stocked this summer with 12,000 more large mouth bass, 6,000 more channel catfish; and 2,000 of the new hybrid bass.
"The blue gill and red ear sunfish should be mature enough to begin reproducing on their own this year." Moore said. "Channel catfish and wipers will be stocked annually from now on."
Recreation Department will decide when to reopen the lake for fishing.
Moore has recommended that the department impose a 15-inch length limit on the wiper and large mouth bass. This limit, similar to one in effect at Clinton Reservoir, would require that all large mouth bass and wipers less than 15 inches long be returned to the lake. Moore said the large mouth bass and wipers were not likely to reach that length before 1984 or 1985.

"It's hard to say how the wipers will do, but if (the lake) should turn into a really good fishing spot, as opposed to what had been in the past," Moore said.

Extension lot now for all halls
Ask for Lee, Tish, or Sarah Waugh
By ANN WYLIE Staff Reporter
The Parking and Traffic Board decided yesterday to allow all residence hall parking permit holders to park in the Daisy Field extension lot.
Before the rule change, only residents of McColm Hall, Hashinger Hall, Lewis Hall, Ewells Hall and Tennilin Hall could park in the lot.
One reason for the rule change is that residents of other residence halls, such as joseph R. Pearson and he employed by the Office of Housing and work at the Daisy
Field complex. Torn Mullinazzi, board
need a place to park when they go to
park them.
Also, the parking lot has not been overcrowded this semester. Kearns said, so allowing more people to park in the conversion lot should not cause a problem.
In other business, the board decided to pay the 15 student traffic court judges for their services.
The judges are law students.
"I support it 100 percent," Kearns said. "It's never been brought up
Because this year's traffic budget is set, the judges probably will not be
paid until fiscal year 1983, which begins July 1, Kearns said.
However, the budget for that year has already been allocated, so it is possible that the judges will not begin to receive pay until July 1984.
Frobish suggested paying the judges $4 an hour.
The judges work between three and 10 hours a week, according to Kent Frobish, traffic court judge and Lawrence second-year law student.
"They could go off campus and make more money than that," he said. "They've taken themselves out of the job market."
New manager to run food service
A man with more than 20 years of experience in managing food services at large universities will be awarded the Kansas Union Food Service Feb. 1.
Bob Richeson will leave his manage post at Oklahoma State University to come manage food services at the University of Kansas.
Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Union, said Tuesday that he was looking forward to the change and that Richeson was well-versed.
Richeson, who also has managed the University of Nebraska food
service program, will replace Mariann Sheetz, who retired Sept. 1 after seven years at KU.
Richeson will direct the food services for both the Kansas Union and the Satellite Union.
Ferguson said Richelson had been extensively involved in designing new food services facilities as well as remodeling existing ones.
Ferguson said that Richeson was not new to KU.
"In the 1960s Richeson was in charge of the Prairie Room and Hawk's Nest," he said.
Richeson's arrival, but that the presence of new management always involved an adjustment.
"Anytime you have a management change you go through adjustment. We've done well-it works, we continue to function," Ferguson said.
Ferguson said the Kansas Union had expanded its menu to offer more variety to students, while the University would offer hours in the beverage section to 8 p.m., offering deli sandwiches, pizza by the slice and beer.
Ferguson said that he welcomed
