Commission asked to form transit board
Forming a board to solve the city's transportation problems will be one of the main topics at tonight's three City Commission meeting.
Members from four social agencies met with the commission earlier this month and requested the formation of a transportation advisory co-ordinate existing transportation bank for new modes of transport.
Federal budget cuts have forced Independence, Inc., a resource center for the severely disabled; the Douglas County Association for Retarded Citizens; Cottonwood, Inc., a vocational rehabilitation center and the Douglas County Planning and Society for Aging to pool some of their resources and look for transportation help.
The agencies have been meeting for a year to identify gaps in service and barriers to increase transportation efficiency.
The commission also will review a request by the Appropriate Technology Center for support of its drive to obtain federal funding to start its home winterizing and energy conservation program.
THE COMMISSION has planned a Nov. 12 study session to hammer out the specifics of the board-how many members will be selected, and what transportation businesses will be represented.
Ken Lassman of the center said yesterday that his agency had already obtained $10,000 from the city and that $5,000 was still needed to hold public workshops on winterizing homes.
Commissioners will also consider adopting a resolution that would allow local lenders to use some part of the $35 million surplus from a Leavenworth County mortgage revenue bond issue.
"We've already applied for the money, but there is some kind of hold-up." Lassman said. "We are not sure how to respond, but the city will speed the process up."
THREE LOCAL lending agencies, Lawrence Savings Association, Anchor Savings Association and American Savings Association of Kansas, are interested in the project.
The commission will meet at 7 p.m. in the commissioners room at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.

Library gets volunteer staffing
By MARK ZIEMAN Staff Reporter
For the second time in little more than a month, area volunteers have pitched in to help operate the KU special education library, which was closed this semester because of a 72 percent cut in the department's budget.
Steve Jones, Neenah, Wis., senior and a member of the Circle K Club, a student voluntary service organization sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Lawrence, said yesterday that his group heard about the closing and decided to help out by staffing the library three evenings a week.
children in the department's pre-school program volunteered to staff the library during the day.
"We found out that they didn't have anyone to run the library (at night)." Jones said. "We felt that we could provide them with an open library on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings."
H. Rutherford Turnbull, chairman of the special education department, said he was very pleased with the club's offer.
The group started staffing the library last week, and from now on will keep it open from 4 to 9 p.m. during the three evenings. Jones said.
"They decided to operate our library three nights a week," he said, "which is
"They're prompt, cheerful and glad to help. We are awful glad to have them aboard."
at a time when many of our students need access to the building.
Turnbull said the department's budget this year was cut from $600,000 to $950,000. In addition to closing the library, in Haworth Hall, the department was forced to discontinue all student scholarships and stipends, cancel courses and limit supplies and faculty travelining expenses.
Jones said that he did not know how long his group would staff the library.
"For the semester for sure," he said,
"but then as long as they need us. We'll run it until they have a librarian."
On the record
Thieves stowe 900 gallons of diesel fuel from a Eudora man's fuel tank sometime between Oct. 7 and Oct. 21, sherriff's deputies said yesterday.
The fuel was valued at $625, deputies said.
THEIVES ALSO cut down and hauled away about 21 walnut and hickory trees from a farm about three miles west of on Highway 40, deputies said.
They said they suspected that the
trees had been disappearing over a period of time.
Many times thieves sell expensive wood such as walnut to furniture manufacturers, deputies said.
There were no suspects in either case.
LAWRENCE POLICE are attributing an almost doubled amount of weekend accidents to the rainy and drizzl weather.
Police said there are 20 accidents on the average weekend, including KU
football weekends, but this weekend there were 38.
None of the accidents resulted in serious injuries, police said.
**REFIGHTERS** were called to 1145 Louisiana St. about 7 p.m. yesterday for what turned out to be an innocent rooftop barbecue.
One of the residents of the house was cooking on a bibachi when a neighbor saw fireworks shooting from the roof of the building. The upstairs windows, firefighters said.

Student loan forms available next week
Students who have waited a month for the new guaranteed student loan forms will be able to fill them out next week—but they will have another six- to 12-week wait before the checks come in.
Students have not been able to apply for the federal loans during October because the financial aid office has been drawing up an application that conforms to new regulations requiring GSL candidates to complete a financial needs test.
However if a student has already received loans or grants, and the student's family's income is more than $30,000, he or she qualifies for only the difference between the financial aid award and the
Anyone from a family earning less than $30,000 will qualify for the full amount of the loan provided he or she has owned any campus-based funds this year.
estimated cost to attend the University of Kansas, which is about 84,000.
Previously, students could borrow up to $2,500 each year regardless of family income or other financial awards.
FOR INSTANCE, a student who has already received $1,200 from the financial aid office and who only qualifies for $2,500 according to the annual funds test may only borrow $1,300 under the new guidelines.
Financial need is determined by family income, tuition, living expenses, the number of children in school and the amount of other financial aid received by the student.
Students who qualify for the loan must find a private lender to finance the loan, which should take only six weeks to process. Rogers said.
If a private lender cannot be found, the student must get a letter of denial from a bank and get the loan through the Higher Education Loan Program of Kansas, which takes up to 12 weeks.
