KANSAS CITY, Kan. The relocation of a methadone clinic affiliated with the University of Kansas Medical Center will not be a problem, David Waxman, executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, said yesterday.

Methadone clinic site is offered
The clinic is in a house near the Med Center, but the house must be torn down to make room for a parking lot for the new Bell Memorial Hospital.
Waxman he received a letter yesterday from Robert Hickey, director of a methadone clinic in Kansas City, Mo., who offered to lease space at his clinic to the Med Center. He also offered the use of his clinic He also offered for treating Med Center patients.
WAXMAN SAID he would not make a decision on the letter's offer until he sent it
He said the use of methadone clinics to help addicts break their habits was one of the most successful.
HE ESTIMATED THAT 60 percent to 70
and that most of them had low-paying jobs.
He said there was no definite date for the start of the parking lot construction, so there was also no definite timetable to find a new location for the clinic.
Under the present system, there is a 24-hour lag while computer discs that record library transactions are processed at the computer center. Only after these have been converted to a print-out and returned to an librarian determine a book's location.
"There's not much choice," he said. "The biggest criticism of the program that don't come. We get way less than 50 percent. We need to reduce the barriers."
Computers to keep tab on books
Waxman said that he did not know where the money would come from to pay for the new location but that he was not worried about it.

Haka said that Watson processed more than half a million such transactions last year and that time savings under the new system would be "tremendous."
One barrier would be to close the KU clinic, he said. Waxman agreed with Mr. Perez.

Waxman said the quick response was proof that there would be no problem in dealing with it.

Those who refuse to pay library fines or return overdue books will find their path to knowledge blocked by a new computerized check-out system designed for installation next fall.
According to Cliff Hake, circulation librarian, the new system will have two main advantages over the semi-automated one in use for the past few years.
Under the new system, the librarian will know immediately if a person owes fines. If that is the case, the librarian will not allow the person to check out books.
THE NEW system also will provide a description of the location of a book not in the stacks. The circulation librarian will be checked whether the book has been checked out.
"I don't see how you can give a service and then stop it," Waxman said. "You have to understand that."
The letter came in response to an article in Thursday's Kansas City Times, in which Waxman asked for help in finding a new location for the clinic.
"The new system will provide better checks on user identification and absolutely up-to-date information on a book's use," he said Monday.

"We'd have to find the money somewhere, either through the department or from somewhere else," he said. "It would have to come from the state."
THE BUILDING housing the clinic is
the property of the University of Kansas, but the clinic is funded by a $500 grant.
McKenny said, "All we need is a room and a bathroom. We hope it will be close to the kitchen."
McKenley has been director of the clinic since it opened in 1068. For the first three years, it was in the emergency room of the hospital and, afterward, it moved eight houses similar to the one it is in now.
"Our main concern is for the patient. I want any patient to think that the place is good."
There are 150 heroin and opium addicts involved in the program, which is the largest in the area. McKenelly said the patients came from scattered areas, such as Johnson County, Topeka, Sedalia, Mo., and Kansas City.

THE SYSTEM planned for the Library will hook terminals in Watson to the main computer center. It also will employ bar codes on library books, which will be read by light wands similar to those used in grocery stores.
According to Jim Ranz, dean of libraries, the benefits of the new system's automation are:
"It will be a real improvement," he said.
We think we can do it, and it's not going to work.
The additional $10,000 needed for the new system would be a small percentage of the initial cost.
Library officials and analysts from the KU Office of Information Systems met yesterday morning to discuss the specifics of converting from one system to another.
In the next two weeks, the information systems analysts will try to develop a method for entering the approximately two systems of Watson's collection into the new system.
HAKA SAID the computerized inventory would be a gradual process. However, once the codes have been purchased, all new书籍 will be coedited instead of being given a book card.
Gary Harvey, information systems analyst who is heading the team that will design and program the system, said perimeter requirements should be ready to go in about January.
Harvey also said there was a possibility that once the basic system was installed in August, additional hook-ups to various branch libraries would be made.
Haka said the library could decide how far it wanted to expand the program. The program could include not only the branch tables but also sections of Watson such as the reserve room.

The five Lawrence city commissioners comprise the Building Commission, which accepted the bid, jointly submitted by five bond companies. The bid stipulated an interest rate of 5.35 percent with a return of $148,192.50 on a principal of $1,970,000.
The four-lane parkway will run from 23rd and Iowa streets to Clinton Lake. The project will take an estimated eight to ten years to complete.
IN A MEETING held before the Building Commission's meeting, the Lawrence City Commission gave final approval to the Clinton Parkway in temporary notes for the Clinton Parkway.
In other business, the City Commission faced stiff opposition from West Hills residents to a proposed apartment complex in the city's central business district behind the DeltaGamma society house.
The Commission unanimously voted to

reject the site plan for the complex after several residents voiced concern about increased traffic flow, parking and drainage problems.
WESTER GOLDEN, 1132 West Hills Parkway, said the complex would violate the neighborhood's covenants, a declaration of restrictions made in 1922. He said the West Hills neighborhood association would go to court to keep the covenants.
The Commission also accepted bids on six items. The bids included $7,500 for sanitation equipment and $7,285.70 for microfilm equipment.
"They are still in effect and we believe that they are still legally enforceable," Golden said.
