Officials of Three Cities in State Endorse Airport Expansion Here
By LYN WALLIN

City officials of Manhattan Salina and Newton agreed yesterday that an enlarged airport in Lawrence would be an advantage to Lawrence and the University of Kansas.
Jan Roskam, a member of the airport committee and professor of aeronautics, said a larger airline in Lawrence would permit more University research.
They said that because of Lawrence's good location in relation to Kansas City, an enlarged airport would fly more industries to fly directly into Lawrence. They also said that with the large amount of space available at Kansas City and faculty members a larger airport would permit shuttle service between Kansas City International Airport and Lawrence.
Without larger facilities and aircraft capacity at the Lawrence airport, the aeronautics department cannot grow beyond what it is now." Roskam said.
Manhattan officials told reporters of the ways the airport there had helped travelers.
The Airport for Lawrence Committee of the Chamber of Commerce arranged a tour yesterday of the airports in Newton, Salina and Manhattan for members of the Lawrence press, to promote the proposed expansion of the Lawrence airport.
Brent Kitchen, airport manager, said he thought the airport had encouraged economic growth in Manhattan by 5 to 10 per cent.
The Lawrence airport improvements are contingent upon the success of a bond agreement.
one three airports had different facilities and offered various economic and transportation opportunities. All were larger than and superior to the Lawrence airport.
"I know it has helped the city, the University (Kansas State University) and Fort Riley to grow," Kitchen said. He said in a recent survey of the 500 largest

industries in the United States, 90 per cent said they wouldn't locate in a community where they lived.
Kitchen said that the Manhattan airport handled about 100,000 passengers annually. He said that this number was exceeded in Kansas only by the Wichita airport. The main passenger airline serving Manhattan is Frontier Airlines. Kitchen said that the expansion of the Manhattan airport would depend upon additional Frontier flights.
The Salina airport, which has a runway almost three miles long, is a sharp contrast to the Lawrence airport. It was originally built by the U.S. Air Force to accommodate B-52s, but has since been given to the city of Salina.
When the Air Force left the Salina base in 1965, the economy of the city suffered. With the departure of 5,000 troops (a total of 13,000 people counting dependents), the city faced the problem of attracting new industry to compensate for the loss.
There are now 22 industries near the Salina airport, which have a total payroll of $17 million. Officials said they thought that those new jobs had filled the void left by the military and that the new firms were still growing.
McKean Scallan, vice president of the Salina Airport Authority, said he thought that the existing utilities and the huge aircraft capacity of the airport were the main
factors responsible for the rapid replacement and growth.
Among the organizations near the Salina airport are Kansas Technical Institute, the Kansas Rehabilitation Institute, a vocational high school, Beechcraft Company and Tony's Pizza Company, Salina's largest employer.
Scanlan said that the facilities at the airport provided 2,500 jobs.
Paul Wall, Salina airport manager, said he thought there was a demand for more commuter service between Salina and Lawrence. He said that he received calls every year from KU students to fly to Lawrence. The only way to do this now is to charter a small plane at a cost of about 40 cents a mile, he said.
"We would just have a big white elephant if we let this thing stand," said Jay Newton, city manager. "We have gone out to get it." He's ground and locate their business in Newton.
In Newton, the city has taken over a territory where the land hoving strip and is alternately it to run
Officials in all three cities agreed that their airports had encouraged economic growth in their communities. They also said they were investigating the possibilities of expanding their airports to serve wider area around their communities.

KU by Any Other Name Just Isn't Quite the Same

Richard Von Ende has nothing against KU.
It's just that Von Ende, executive secretary of the University of Kansas, thinks that the initials "KU" are overused and somewhat misleading in press releases and other University writings because there is no Kansas University.
So Von Ende sent a memo last week to the heads of the Office of University Relations, the KU News Bureau and radio station KANU asking that those agencies "demasphize the use of the initials 'KU' when referring to the University of Kansas." Was it possible that "of the University of Kansas," "Kansas" or "the University."
Such an uprather followed his recommendation that Van Ende must have his license to work.
Some accused him of striking at sacred tradition and accepted practice. Others interpreted his memo to mean that the University should call itself "UK."
Extremists even accused him of trying to murder the famous Rock Chalk chant.
"There was never any intent to keep people from using the initials," Von Ende

is referred to as the University of Kansas"
Oldfather said. The last time it appeared
in a newspaper, it was in 1952.
Cora Lee Price, assistant professor of cora classes, said the incipitation, "Sillum Universitas Kansiensis," must be translated as "the Seal of Kansas University."
"Kansiens is the adjective form of Kanaas." Price said.
