Construction planned
Construction sites have become familiar scenes on the KU campus, and three future projects may keep them around a little longer.
Additions to Haworth and Moore halls and replacement of steam lines near Allen Field House are well into the planning stage, Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning, said yesterday.
Lawton said the Haworth addition was high on the list of priorities for campus construction.
"We have the funding money for the Haworth addition," he said. "But we do not have the construction money."
He said that funding money, or project money, was not a part of construction funds and could include architectural designs and printing.
Lawton said that the Haworth construction proposal was before the Kansas Legislature and scheduled
for consideration during the current legislative session.
ALSO BEFORE the Legislature were plans for an addition to Moore Hall, the geological survey building on West Campus.
Funding for construction of University buildings is a long, drawn-out process, Lawton said.
"This project is a project for which plans are complete," he said. "Construction on this project may begin sometime this summer."
Summer construction could also include the replacement of old underground lines that provide steam heat in buildings. Allen Field House, Lawton said.
"This project is already funded and it's in its final stages," he said. "Last year's Legislature funded this project."
"The Legislature many times takes three or four years to fund a project," Lawton said.
Staffs move in Flint
The office staff in Flint Hall began moving into the newly remodeled portion of the building yesterday, and today, the University Daily Kansan moves into its new office in the west end of the first floor.
Renovation of the second floor and part of the first floor has been completed. Workers will begin renovation Monday on the space formerly occupied by the Kansan, a university Dthit journalism library and staff offices.
Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Journalism, said he was extremely satisfied with the progress of the renovation so far.
"The architects have done a fine job, and construction work appears to be very well done also." Brinkman said.
The Kanasan has not moved since February 1952. The newspaper had been housed in a building known as "The Shack," east of Watsonville, California, 1952. The Shack" built in the 1800s, was demolished in 1963. It had also housed the chemistry department and medical classes.
"The complete project will be finished sometime by the end of the spring semester, so we're going to be moving and involved in the disruption we have now until summer session."
Brinkman said the new floor plan would allow for some classrooms to be on the first floor and less traffic on the second floor.
"What we've done is improve the space available for the things that need the space and improved the traffic flow." Drinkman said.

King ruled that a local ordinance giving the city commission final approval over development land maps, or plats that already had been approved by the planning commission, conflicted with state law.
"But up to now, our ordinance called for the city commission to grant the utility and right of way easements."
City Commissioner Don Binnis said the state law in question "very clearly gives the filing and approval of plats to the planning commission."
City Commissioner Barkley Clark said, "I think it's fair to say that all the commissioners are concerned about the decision and the general relationship between the city commission and then planning commission."
AN EASEMENT is dedicated when an developer provides the city and utility companies, streets, alleys, and rights of way. It also helps provide water systems such as waterways and other utilities.
Clark said, "Our concern is that if the planning commission has total control over plats, the city has no say on
"It's very important for the city because it involves maintenance costs that the city is going to have to live with for years and years."
dedication of rights of way for streets and parks and other things.
City Commissioner Tom Gleason said the ruling shifted power from elected officials to appointed officials.
"It certainly has that effect," Gleason said. "And, as a matter of fact, (to) officials that are not even all appointed by the city.
"We've got a planning commission that's half appointed by the county commission, and their membership generally comes from outside the city."
THE RULING also has the effect of removing much of city planning from public view, he said.
"This ruling essentially eliminates all public comment from the process of determining where parks are going to, where streets are going to be, because it's not a public item at the planning commission," Gleason said.
According to the Lawrence-Douglas County planning commission agenda, some items are designated as "non-public."
The ruling could affect similar statutes in other Kansas cities, and the effect would be greater if the ruling were to be appealed and upheld by higher courts, City Commissioner Nancy Schtz said.
"Our own district judge made a ruling about our local ordinance," Shontz said. "His decision, unless we appeal it and are successful, will alter our use of our own local ordinance."
Uprising remembered

Today marks the 50th anniversary of a popular insurrection in El Salvador in which 30,000 peasants were massacred.
A KU campus group is working to make people more aware of the situation today in El Salvador.
This week has been an international week of solidarity in support of the Salvadorean people, Rhonda Neugebauer, spokeswoman for Latin American Solidarity, said yesterday.
"We support their right to determine what they, the Salvadoreans, want." she said.
Nuebauer said the purpose of the solidarity activities was to show support for the Salvadorean people their fight against the government.
THE KU GROUP is aligned with the Committee in Solidarity With the People of El Salvador. This national committee, along with solidarity committees from other countries, and solidarity today for El Salvador.
Neugebauer said each group was asked to have some activity to show
The group also sponsored an information table at the Kansas Union.
their support. Wednesday night, the KU group sponsored a slide show, "People in Struggle," depicting events in El Salvador and groups involved in the struggle, including the military leaders, the Roman Catholic Church and the people themselves.
"The national committee develops ways to get Americans more information," Neugubera said.
Neuebauer said it was very hard to find out what was happening in El Salvador. She said the movement supporting self-determination in El Salvador was more active in Europe than in the United States.
"We have to support the Salvadorean right to try and stay alive by organizing in the work places and the communities for new political and economic structures," she said.
The committee serves as communication network and an information clearinghouse. She said the best information about El Salvador came from this national committee.
