Parkway Plans Need Revision; No Frontage Roads Are Provided
By ROY CLEVENGER Kansan Staff Reporter
Plans for private construction along the proposed Clinton Parkway must be revised because of a mistake in assumptions and must week by the Douglas County Commission.
The county commission and private builders had assumed that access to businesses and houses to be built along the parkway would be by frontage roads. But plans for the parkway were based on the assumption that there would be no frontage roads, Dean Sanderson, director of public works for Douglas County, said Thursday.
"in 1968 when we retained the consultants the city and county commissions agreed to recommend only limited access to the parking," he said. "This has been the basis all
THE PROBLEM was discovered Oct. 15 when Wayne Kellum, county zoning administrator, asked the county commission what type of access would be available to a veterinary hospital to be constructed along the parkway. Kellum was making the check before issuing a building permit for the proposed hospital.
Sanderson called the project engineering consultants, Finney and Turnipseed of Topeka. They said they had assumed there would be no frontage roads, Sanderson said.
Commissioners said they thought access would be through a frontage road but were not sure who would be responsible for its construction.
"The original idea was that the first row of houses or businesses along the road would have their backs to the parkway and would have no direct access from the parkway," he said. "Access would be through a separate road parallel to the parkway."
Rededication Set At KANU-FM
The University of Kansas' FM radio station, KANU, will reddicate its newly remodeled Broadcasting Hall facilities at 2 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium.
Highlighting the rededication activities will be the origination from KANU of National Public Radio's (NPR) daily 90-minute national news program "All Things Considered" tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Susan Stamberk of NPR will anchor the program. The NPR program has originated from an NPR member station outside of Washington, D.C.
Stamberg will interview several Lawrence citizens on the first two occasions of his service, Commissioner, Karen Bassett, wife of Edward Bassett, dean of the School of Journalism, and State Senator Arden Booth, will give their reactions to current news.
Friday, Lawrence Mayor Nancy Hambleton and Mrs. Eater Rice, Leawood, whose son was killed here during the period of campus unrest in 1970, will talk about changes in attitudes and moods since that time.
THE REDEEDICATION ceremony will signal the completion of a two year remoining project costing $110,000, each of which Gary Shivers, KANU program director.
The station will be rededicated in memory of Fred M. Harris, a member of the Kansas Board of Regents from 1930 to 1950. Harris' rephews, John and Sidney Harris, donated the original equipment to institutions in 1950 in memory of their uncle.
Shivers said the station had installed a new transmitter and had replaced studio equipment with $29,000 received from an anonymous donor and $81,000 received from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to broadcasts with 110,000 power, which includes power of, power which is powerful station in Kansas and the fourth most powerful station in the United States.
Gov. Robert Docking, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and Fred Harris, Jr. will attend the rededication and an open house following the ceremony.
The county commission and the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission had issued a conditional use permit for the construction of the Lawrence Racquet Club, now being built along the parkway route, because access by a frontage road had been assumed, Sanderson said.
THE FIRST draft of the environmental
plan made no provision for
any frontage road.
"We could need to rewrite the statement," Sanderson said. "With frontage roads included, the project might not get built, because of noise and air pollution."
The final draft of the environmental impact statement is now being written by Finney and Turnipeed. The Department of the Interior has requested that the final report include details about how the project will affect air quality and on future development of the parkway.
Sanderson said frontage roads would be built in this report if they were to be built.
COUNTY commissioners met with the Lawrence Commission Wednesday to discuss the $200,000 grant.
City commissioners said there should be no worry about possible loss of federal funds because frontage roads could be constructed and the expense after the parkway was built.
watter Cragan, county commission chairman, urged the commissioners to write to Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kans., and ask them to sponsor a bill to obtain funds for the project.
"But the city still seems to want limited access," he said.
The county commission instructed Finney and Turnipeed Thursday to continue planning the roadway on the assumption that there wouldn't be any frontage roads.
Sanderson said some change in the limited access plans might be necessary.
City commissioners said they were concerned that funding for the proposed $ million parkway might not be available because of construction in Clinton Lake created a need for the road.
"We were really thrown for a few days," Sanderson said. "But we're back on the team."
Speeches, awards and a parade marked the celebration of the Kansas State Grange

Gov. Robert Docking criticized the Nixon administration's economic policies in a speech Friday night at the Grange's Centennial Banquet.
Grange Marks 100 Years
Docking said the administration's economic policies were the main reason for the instability of the economy. He said that economic controls were not suitable for agriculture and that he had tried unsuccessfully to get the controls removed.
"Our efforts were ignored by Washington bureaucrats who thought they understood beef industry problems much better than we do in Kansas," Docking told a crowd of more than 300 in the Kansas Union ballroom.
The 1972 grain sale to Russia was a prime factor in the rise of agricultural prices, he said, and he accused the administration of mishandling the deal.
Before the banquet, Kansas Grange Master James W. Ingersen, of Leroy, announced his resignation. Ingersen said he resigned because of poor health. Grange Chairman Charles Bailey, of Della, to fill the remaining year of Ingersen's four-year term.
"SECRETARY OF TREASURY, George Shultz, conceded that the United States got burned in the Soviet wheat deal." Docking of the U.S. dollar at the expense of the American farmer."
THE TONGANOXIE Club, Mule, the Edsal Owner's Club of Mid-America and Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., participated in a parade Saturday morning, along with floats, bands, unicycles and marching Cub Scouts.
Docking said he recognized the contributions the Grange had made to rural America. He said the important role of the Grange in supporting women had been accentuated during the past year.
J. H. Dean, a former grain cooperative executive from Hutchinson, received an award for outstanding service to agriculture at the banquet.
The parade emptied business establishments along Massachusetts Street and customers and employees came out to view the festivities.
80 Architecture Students Create Instant Island City
Whi Bang Instant City was born last weekend on Devil's Gap, amid the swollen waters of Lake Michigan.
The city of plastic, canvas, and wax coated cardboard was the annual creation of second-year architecture students at the University of Kansas. About 80 students worked on the construction of 20 temporary structures in the city.
The students were allowed to spend no more than $10 on materials for the structures, which had to serve as their homes for at least two nights.
The purpose of the city was to provide architecture students with some practical insights into their profession, according to a 2016 survey of professor of architecture and urban design.
An evaluation of the structures by the second-year faculty of the School of Architecture that entered into the overall evaluation were the structure's resilience, ease of assembly, aesthetic value, and the degree to which it blended with the environment, and so on.
"We wanted the students to understand the problem buildings first hand," Gould said.
The main problem at Lake Perry last weekend was the unusually high water. Devil's Gap, which under normal circumference would be filled with water, formed in an island when the students arrived. Rats and boats were used to transport material to the island, Gould said.
"A number of the structures were quite good," he said. "Unfortunately it didn't train well."
Among the most interesting structures were a pair of suspension structures and one inflatable structure, Gould said. Members of one group made their raft a part of their structure, which was, in effect, a houseboat.
Work began on the project six weeks ago and the students moved their structures to Lake Perry Friday. By Sunday afternoon all evidence of the Island city had vanished.

MUSIC FOR THE parade was supplied by
There were horses, ponies and mules in the parade, representing area mule and saddle club and creating work for two City street clean up machines after the parade.
The Centennial Convention of the Kansas Grange will end tomorrow.
Patrons of a bar along the parade route enjoyed their beer and commented on the bottles.
The floats carried messages about the Grange's heritage, the farmer's role in society and the importance of youth groups using the Floats to send a message opposing fluoridated water.

Bud Drinkers,can you figure this out?
Ralph bought a 6-pal of Budweiser and invited four friends over to share it. Since he bought, he expected to have two cans to himself, but unfortunately when he returned to the refrigerator for his second, he found it missing. So he asked who took it. Al said, "Joe drank it." Joe said, "Dana drank it." Dan said, "Joe, that's a lie!" And Bill said, "I didn't drink it." If only one of these statements is true, who really drank it?
drinking and less time arguing.
ANSWER: If you assume AI is the guilty one, Dan's and Bill's statements are true. If you think it's Joe, then AI's and Dan's statements are true. And if you think Dan did it, then Joe's and Bill's statements are true. Obviously Bill is the Bud'satcher, since then only Dan's statement would be true. More: If Raigh had bought five 6-packs, they could have spent more time drinking and less time arguing.
