Several offices move in Strong
If any University of Kansas student or faculty member would have wandered up the stairs to the second floor of Strong Hall about two weeks ago, they would have had to weave in and out of desks, chairs and file cabinets packed in the corridor.
Several offices in Strong Hall were relocated during the week of Aug. 7 because of a reorganization in the office of student affairs.
David Ambler, vice cemerchant for student affairs, said recently that all but two of the offices in the division were permanently relocated.
Those two offices, the student assistance center and the office of foreign student services, will be moved from temporary classrooms as space is available in Strong Hall.
The student assistance center is now located in 235 Strong Hall, and the office of foreign student services is located in 200 Strong.
Ambler said he did not know what the office changes cost.
"The only cost so far would have been the relocation of telephone and the moving, which Facilities Operations did," Ambler said.
He added that construction was in progress on the third floor of Strong Hall for a new budget office. The student assistance center will move into the old budget office as soon as construction is completed, Ambler said.
To aid students and instructors in finding new office locations, Amber said, his office had compiled an addendum to the student directory. He said faculty members listing the new locations.

Police accept new contract
Lawrence police officers last week accepted a two-year work contract with the city—agreement they have twice rejected. Included in the package is a 15 percent pay increase and an increase in benefits.
Under the new contract, patrol officers, corporals and detectives will receive a 15 percent increase in pay through 1800 and increases in benefits related to health care.
The 15 percent increase in pay will affect about 60 members of the force. The increase will be broken into a 4 percent increase and a 20 percent increase. July 1 and a 6 percent increase Jan. 1, 1980.

and discontentment within the department.
Police officers originally had sought a one-year contract with the city, but agreed to a two-year contract after the city companies removed them from its insistence on a two-year agreement.
TENTATIVE ACCEPTANCE of the pact came after Mayor Don Bimns proposed a cut in the package, saying that he had serious questions about "professional" some of the policecrime.
Binns later said he made the proposal in
Thirty-two members of the LPOA voted to ratify the agreement after the city agreed to delete one word seen as objectionable. All votes were needed for ratification.
Starting salaries for patrol officers will increase under the new agreement from 1987 to 1990.
The city also agreed to pay part of the cost of a health insurance program for employees' dependents, which officers can accept on an optional basis. The health insurance part of the agreement will be extended to all city employees.
Officers who have reached the top of their respective pay scales will be able to qualify for skill incentive pay raises for the next three years, under the new contract. Officers who have been with the force for more than three years will begin to receive longevity pay.
Donald Knight, Jr., president of Local 1596 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, has said that his group would accept the police's call to city as soon as the police sign their package.
Delay causes loss of fall sports fields
Because of a delay last spring in starting improvements on intrumral fields at 23rd St., the field will be ready for use this fall, according to Tom Wilkerson, University of Wisconsin.
With the three fields at 23rd and Iowa, there will be nine fields available.
"We're not expecting an increase in the number of teams, but if there is, we have talked to the city at renting some of its equipment that would be needed, indicated that something could be worked out."

THE CITY FIELDS are lighted and could be used for night play if necessary.
At that time, the fields were unlevel, gutted with holes, and barely covered by grass. The Senate appropriated the money because of numerous complaints about the fields'
Wilkerson said he hoped the loss of the four fields would not cause scheduling problems.
Problems with the fields at 23rd and Iowa date back to spring 1977. The Student Senate then appropriated $79,850 to improve the fields.
Wilkerson said that with the four fields south of Wattins Hospital and two more fields east of Robinson Gymnasium, there should be enough fields to accommodate the fall intramural football program and KU's soccer and rugby clubs.
The Senate had hoped the project would be completed by last fall. But problems arose when Facilities Operations, which the Senate was depending on to do the work, said it could not have the fields ready in time.
The money, which became available after the Senate cut women's athletics from its budget, was to be used to regrade and improve the fields and to install a sprinkler system.
KU's ENROLMILD should remain at about the same level as last year, according to Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and total of 23,250 students enrolled leftfall.
LAST FALL the fields were used for in-
vestigation, though the improvements
had not been made.
"It's hard to say if we'll have a scheduling problem until we see what enrollment does. With last year's increases in enrollment, we have increased the number of teams in the number of teams." Wilkerson said.
Rodger E. Oroke, director of Facilities
As long as enrollment is stable, KU will have about the same number of teams this year.

Operations, then informed the Senate that a private firm could do the job.
Bids were accepted and the Senate selected B.A. Green Construction Company Inc., 1207 Iowa St., to do the grading and to install the sprinkler system.
However, the seeding will be done by facilities Open access, according to Mike Heyden.
ACTUAL WORK on the fields finally started July 13. The sprinkler system should be completed by the end of this week and the water should be done by Sept. 13. Harper said.
In May, the project was further delayed when University architect Al Thomas, who originally was to plan the project, was unable to take on the job because of other commitments. A private architectural firm, at a cost of $2,000, to plan the project.
Although the project will be completed this fall, only three of the fields will have enough turf to be used. Harper questioned whether even those fields would be ready.
Wilkerson said the other four fields would be ready for spring intramurals.
