Traffic Study of Bridge Ordered
The commissioners authorized John Frazier, of Turnip and Turnip Seed Co., to conduct a traffic study of the area around the existing bridge. Frazier said that a cost proposal of the project would be completed and that the study would be completed in about 90 days.
The Lawrence City Commission and the Douglas County Commission yesterday authorized a Topaka engineering firm to conduct a traffic study on proposed reconstruction of the bridge located at 6th and Massachusetts streets.
The flow of traffic at 6th and Massachusetts streets has caused debate over construction plans for the new bridge.
The commissioners proposed three alternative plans for Finney and Turnosed to study. They are:
Divide the approaches on the south side of the bridge, with traffic flowing south from the bridge and with traffic flowing north onto the bridge from New Hampshire Street. This plan would call for Vermont Street to be one-way south and another to be one-way between both thirteen and 11th Streets.
- Make the new bridge exactly parallel to the existing one and use the present in
—Close Massachusetts Street at 6th street so that traffic must be routed around the
central business district to avoid congestion in the downtown area
Jack Rose, city commissioner, urged the commissioners to consider these proposals.
"This bridge determines the traffic pattern for a substantial section of Lawrence," Rose said. "Once the bridge is in place there isn't much we can do. In ten years the population will be so much the bridge cost, but they will know if we put it in the right spot."
The two commissions will meet after the proposals are received to determine which plan is the most feasible.
'Mr. Percussion' Comes to KU
Brake drums, clockcoils, thunder sheets and "Mr. Percussion." This is a musical program?
The University of Kansas Percussion Ensemble will demonstrate that the combination is indeed musical when the group performs at 8 p.m. Monday in the
University Theater under the direction of guest artist Paul Price.
Price, who has been called "Mr. Percussion" by Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the American Sym'hony Orchestra, is a composer, publisher and an authority on percussion ensemble music. Since 1961 he has been teaching percussion and conducting percussion ensembles at the Manhattan School of Music in New York
Speaker Urges Planning In Personal Financing
By STEVE BLEAU
Kansan Staff Reporter
The most important part of personal financing is planning, according to Duke Brown of the University State Bank loan department.
Borne spoken on personal financing last night at Oliver Hall at the Association of University Residence Hall's second Un-University seminar. He stressed the importance of personal planning in finance, particularly in the area of budgeting.
The first thing to do in establishing a budget is to outline priorities, he said.
"Establishing a budget is like losing weight," Brown said. "You usually don't do it until you have to. You keep putting it off until you can't put it on any longer."
"Everybody needs a place to live," he said, "so housing should probably be number one on everybody's list. After that, we have to talk about nutrition, medical bills and other necessities."
Bargain hunting is also important in planning a budget, he said.
In addition to conducting the concert, he will be working with percussion students tomorrow. He will lecture on percussion instruments and music from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, in Swarthout Recital Hall.
*Being a do-it-yourselfer is also helpful in this area.* You should be. "You should check everything."
"Most impulse buying is wasteful," he said. "You're more likely to save money if you shop around and look for the best deal on whatever you're buying."
Fire Causes Minor Damage
A fire in a trash can on the south wing of the third floor of Corbin Hall yesterday afternoon resulted in minor damage, an investigation by the KU Security and Parking department.
Noel said that the trash can was in a restroom and that the fire was put out with fire extinguisher. I spoke from the extinguisher caused minor damage to the room.
or calling in a pumber who'll charge you $10
an hour."
Personal planning also means having someone to help when help is needed, Brown said. Everyone should have an attorney, he said.
"You won't need a lawyer every day," he said, "but when you do need one, it's good to have a good one."
Insurance is an area that students should start investigating now, he said.
"You'll need a lot of different insurance policies," he said. "You'll need life insurance, homeowner's or apartment dweller's insurance, health and accident insurance, and auto insurance, among others."
Banks, he said, are always willing to advise people on any of these matters.
included in Monday's concert will be compositions representative of various trends that have developed during the relatively brief history of Western percussion music, according to George Boberg, associate professor of wind and percussion.
"Compositions strictly for percussion have appeared only in the last 40 years." Böberg said. "Consequently, there are always new techniques being introduced."
"Suite," a 1942 composition by Lou Harrison, was written for brake drums, two clockworks, and a thundersheet. The clockworks, which are springs from a clock, are mounted on a wooden box which acts as a sound chamber.
"Haiku Seasons," the final number on the program and possibly the most innovative, is a setting of sixteen haiku poems by four Japanese poets. It was written between December 1969, and December 1970, by Gardner Read.

Airport . . .
From Page One
City manager Buford M. Watson told the Airport for Lawrence Committee Tuesday that the property tax increase would be less than three-fourths of a mill. A mill is a $1 tax on every $1,000 of the assessed valuation of property. Watson said the tax increase would cost the owner of a $25,000 house $4.15 per year.
Only students who pay property tax in Lawrence would be charged directly. However, bond opponents landlords and tenant rent to cover their increased expenses.
Nichols said, "A modern, progressive city needs an adequate safe airport, and ours
The bond proposal asks authorization for the city to collect $664,000 in property taxes to match $1,266,000 from the Federal administration for the improvements.
One point of controversy has been the cost of the improvements to Lawrence residents,
Edward P. Bassett, dean of the School of Journalism, said this week that a larger airport would bring jobs to Lawrence and help stop the flow of young people out of the city.
Bussett said that more and better jobs might encourage some students to stay in school.
"Right now we're exporting our basic resource-young people," he said.
cark, however, said there was enough housing in Lawrence so that owners wouldn't be able to increase rents without losing tenants.
Wing Chow, Hong Kong senior and economics major, said yesterday that he thought taxpayers who didn't use the air conditioning to pay part of the improvement costs.
"Everyone would have to pay, even those
who oppose the bond. It isn't fair. The people who use the airport should pay a fee. Those who benefit from the improvements should pay for them," he said.
Nora Wilson, airport office manager, said yesterday that the only fees charged to airport users are for parking on days KU football games are played. She said the fees women hired to assist those days but didn't represent a significant part of airport expenses.
Douglas County commissioner L. J. Stoneback said yesterday that he didn't think the airport improvements were necessary.
"We're already less than half an hour away from Kansas City International and Topeka," he said.

"We're fortunate to be between two cities with airport facilities."
He said fast automobile travel made it unnecessary for every town to have an airport.
Sometimes also said he thought an all-pollen bond election would hurt the chances of a bond election next year on the proposed new policy. But his views should have agreed on one bond election.
"I think the airport bond has a hard flight," he said.
James L. Hammick, assistant professor of botany, said he wasn't sure the airport expansion was the best project the city could undertake.
"We do need a safe, good-quality airport
the small place we want, wonder
winter."

He said that other services provided by the city, especially sidewalks and snow removal weren't adequate. He also suggested that the bond election might be more worthwhile if it sought funding for bicycle paths or purchase of land for parks.
