Head Start bemoans budget
"The Head Start program was not one we discussed in great detail after the summit," she said. "I know Governor Hayden support is strong and it is shown it does make a difference for children enrolled in Head Start."
By Holly Lawton Kansan staff writer
"But my guess is that he thinks $250 million is enough."
Apt said Hayden considered Bush's proposed increase adequate because
Many underprivileged children in Lawrence will not be reached if financing for the federal preschool program Head Start is not increased, local Head Start director Charline Freling said yesterday.
President Bush proposed an increase of $250 million for Head Start at last week's education summit in Charlottesville, Va., but many governors attending said the increase was not enough for a program on which $1.2 billion was spent last year.
However, Denise Apt, education aide to Gov. Mike Hayden, said Hayden thought the proposed increase was adequate.
situation sometimes was a hindrance for the children. Dental services offered free through the program, must be limited to those who need them most.
Frettag said parents have had to raise money themselves for field trips and classroom equipment.
Since Head Start has proven itself through research and data, it deserves more money to help disadvantaged children face a tough world, Freitag said.
"That's really bad. They certainly don't have the money to pay for things like that," she said.
"We're supposed to provide them with transportation, but we just don't have the money for that," Freiting said. "It would cost about $80,000 to pay for a bus, insurance, gas and more staff members."
"It's really valuable for parents and children alike," she said. "Not only do we give the kids a head start, but we allow the parents to set goals for their own lives and work for the kids. It benefits everybody."
"Staff salaries are way below a decent wage, considering all the years the people have been here and all the time they've put in," she said. "I've been here 19 years and I still get only $25 per month for my retirement."
Staff members also suffer, Freitag said.
Freitag said Head Start's financial
Hayden's opinions were not good news for Freitag. She said that at least 20 more local children were eligible for Head Start but that not enough money was available for all of them.

She said Head Start experienced several problems because of limited money. She said the local program often ran short of supplies and equipment and could not always give the children what they needed.
The National Education Association estimated about $6.3 billion was needed to serve all eligible children through Head Start. The federal program provides preschool education for low-income children below the poverty line. Flaxted said the local program paid for exactly 78 children at $1,900 a child.
"Money is going to be very tight next session," she said.
Fast action helps catch filmmaker
By Steve Buckner Kansan staff writer
And the word would be "film."
At the rate things are going, the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau may add another word to its title.
And the word would be "film."
"We've been getting into film more and more actively since 1982," said Judy Billings, director of the bureau.
The bureau is a division of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
The most recent success for the Kansas Film Commission and for Billings was a concerted effort to persuade Michael Landon to shoot a made-for-television movie, "Where Pigeons Go To Die," in Lawrence and Douglas County.
many other programs deserved money as well.
"The initial call came to us," said Jerry Jones, coordinator of the Film Commission. "They wanted photographs of Leavenworth, Lawrence and Manhattan in the fall."
featuring Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited from Zimbabwe and Sekou Diabate and Bembeya Jazz National from Guinea
Billings said Jones contacted her about the project and asked her for pictures of farm houses and trees. Photographs and a quick response helped persuade movie makers to choose Lawrence as the film site.
"There's the pure economic revenue-generating aspect and the general publicity when the movie is made and when it airs. And it lets the production community in California know whether Landon had a positive experience here," he said.

Landon will star in the movie with Art Carney. Other cast members include Ronne Troup, Cliff De Young, Robert Gorman and Bruce French. "Where Pigeons Go To Die" is based on a novel by the same name and takes place from the 1950s to the present. Billings said.
Production crews are working in town, Billings said. The principal filming will begin Oct.16 to take advantage of the fall colors.

Jones said a project of this scope was important to Kansas for several reasons.
Hollywood has filmed in Kansas several times during the 1980s for full-length feature films and television movies. Lawrence has basked in the white lights on more than one occasion during this decade in movies such as 1983's "The Day After" and "Cross of Fire," which was filmed in *i'e area last spring*.
"He had some reservations, and then he spent two days here," she said. "Finally, he decided that those locations would work for him."
"We took them scouting where they wanted to see," she said.
But none of the proposed sites worked.
"So we spent more time with them and looked for what they wanted," she said. "They wanted the 'feel' for places. We kept looking for the location they were excited about."

She said she sent Landon's company two packets of photographs of panoramic views of the county's countryside. The company's executive producer, location manager and art director visited Lawrence after visiting Boston and Northern California, the other two areas under final consideration. Billings said.

Billings said the findings were presented to Landon in California.
Braniff spokesman Sandy Smith said the carrier was not likely to consider boosting service until mid-October. Braniff's $49 one-way fare will end tomorrow, but $99 fares will be in effect until Oct. 31.

Braniff International Corp. filed for bankruptcy in 1982, shortly after industry deregulation, and emerged in 1984 as a smaller carrier. It relocated its headquarters from Dallas to Orlando in May.
MIAMI — Braniff Inc., using $49 one-way flights to lure passengers, yesterday resumed about 20 percent of its 258-flight network, which was virtually shut down when the carrier filed its second bankruptcy reorganization in seven years.
The list of creditors against the cash-squeezed airline continued to grow as laid-off union workers prepared petitions for back wages and benefits.

Branniff filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Thursday and announced plans to cut its work force to about 2,000 from 4,791. Officials at the Orlando-based carrier say they plan to reorganize as a smaller
On Friday, Branif operated four flights linking its Kansas City, Mo., hub with Dallas and Orlando. Eight flights were run daily on the weekend using 160-seat Boeing 727 aircrafts, and 46 flights were scheduled yesterday.

Before the bankruptcy filing, Braniff flew to 39 U.S. cities and to Nassau, Bahamas.
