The University of Kansas will receive $200,000 to plan a new continuing education program for teachers.
KU to plan continuing ed center
The money was appropriated in a $85 billion funding bill for the Departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare, signed by President Carter last weekend.
The bill allocated $500,000 in planning money to three universities for new construction projects. The University of Washington at Seattle, Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., and
KU'S SHARE of the funds is a little more than a third of the $500,000 because the U.S. government will fund The University of Washington will be funded to serve the entire Northwest region, and Old Dominion will have a smaller center designed to serve only the community of KU.
The universities had originally asked for $980,000 to divide among them for architectural drawings of the centers, but that figure was cut to $500,000 by Congress.
Planning, Weichert, director of Facilities
Allen, said KU actually needed $500,000
planning budget.
Weichert said that even if all the needed money had been received to draw the architectural plans, construction contracts could not go out until those plans were approved by the government and construction money then was appropriated.
THE PHASE WE'RE IN now is drawing up plans for the building to government specifications," Weichert said. "We have to wait for next year's legislative approval to complete this phase before going on to the next."

Lawrence city commissioners voted last night not to review any future site plans that do not include storm water drainage provisions.
Commission seeks drainage plans
The vote came after a site plan for an enclosed shopping mall south of the Holiday Inn caused controversy at last night's commission meeting.
The designer of the mail, Ron Holt, 322 Lawrence Ave., had not incorporated on water retention into the design of the mail box. He had to have the water drain onto a Iowa Street
"No one has ever done this before. I should have had at least thirty days notice," he said. "Tell us what the rules are before we change it to not change the rule in the muddle of the law."
Holt said he had not been informed until two weeks ago that the City Commission had recently begun to require that developers have on-site water retention in their plans.
The controversy began when commissioner Barkley Clark proposed that the site plan be rejected because it did not include a water retention system.
"DRAINAGE WAS NOT mentioned in the guidelines we received from the planning department." Holl said. "We did exactly what we wanted to do." In midstream we're saying add this.
AN ORDINANCE requiring that
devices incorporate on-site water
detention systems.
Until last night's decision not to accept any site plans without drainage provisions, decisions on project designs had been made on an individual basis by the commission.
the city planning staff but will not be ready for several weeks according to Buford University.
Commissioner Jack Rose protested what he called the arbitrariness of the commission.
"It is unbelievable," It Alice in Wonderland." Rose said. "We're doing away with it."
"We should concentrate on getting a constant drainage policy. It's not right to require people to adhere to some vague standards."
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the commission.
acted as expected in rejecting a request by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, a union affiliated with the city, to be allowed to represent city workers.
"Anybody can join any kind of group they want to, but we won't encourage any kind of bargaining unit," commissioner Marnie Argeringer said.
The commission also voted to waive taxes
the Lawrence Housing Authority
behind the project.
The Housing Authority, which furnishes low-cost housing for low-income families in the Lawrence area, is in danger of losing control of its budget to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare unless it cuts back on its expenditures.
