Commission Votes to Seek Rights To Use More of Clinton's Water
By KAREN HILKER
Kenan Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission voted yesterday to seek rights to 4.9 million more gallons of water daily from Clinton Reservoir for municipal water supplies. The move supplements an earlier request for 10 million gallons daily.
"We're at our maximum right now in getting water from the Kansas River and various city wells," said Commissioner John Emick.
If approved by the Kansas Water Resources Board, the new request would provide 14.9 million gallons of Clinton water daily to the Lawrence water supply to supplement what is now being taken from the Kansas River.
Water consumption in Lawrence averages 12 million gallons a day, City Manager Buford Watson said during the meeting. During the summer, consumption reaches a peak of 15 million gallons a day, be said...
Watson said after the meeting that the water from Clinton would be high quality and easier to treat than water from the river.
WATSON RECOMMENDED that, after the Clinton water supply was available, the river water be used only during peak consumption periods.
The Clinton water supply and a treatment
plant that would be built near the reservoir wouldn't be ready until 1980, he said.
The cost of maintaining a system for the 10 million gallons already requested will be about $20,000 a year. Watson said. If the additional request for 4.9 million gallons is approved, the annual cost for maintaining the system will increase to $122,000.
Watson said the city would attempt to plan a water system that would allow the city to pump water from either Clinton or the Kampas River.
Turning from the water supply issue, the commission voted to instruct the city staff to prepare an ordinance that would prohibit smoking in Lawrence theaters.
The smoking issue was mentioned at the Aug. 28 commission meeting by students.
"MORE AND MORE people are considering the rights of non-smokers," said Mayor Harlem堡 at yesterday's meeting. "I personally would like to see this
Commissioner Barkley Clark said Kansas City, Mo. and Wichita already had city ordinances to prohibit smoking in enclosed areas.
Commissioners Fred Pence and John
Enick voted against preparation of the ordinance.
"You're going to drive a lot of people up the wall who smoke cigarettes." Emick said.
The commission awarded a $18,468.90 contract for paving of the North Lawrence Industrial Lane to Brown Brothers Construction Co., Lawrence.
The road will pass through an area near the East Tumpike entrance, Watson said. The property is owned by the Lawrence Industrial Foundation.
THE AREA was set aside to encourage and assist new business and industry in the region.

regain its earlier degree of excellence and if faculty salaries were to become more competitive with those paid by other universities.
1983, the per capita appropriations for higher education in the state of Kansas were the fourth highest in the nation," Dykes said. "Today, in 1973—ten years later—we rank 27th in per capita appropriation for higher education and that per capita income has risen dramatically... Some predict that by the end of this year we will be tenth in terms of per capita income."
DYKES SAID the purchasing power of appropriations made to the University also had declined rapidly. He cited a study made in 1980 that a former dean of the School of Business.
Clark's report concluded that state support of the University had declined since 1963 by $8 per student credit hour taught, Dykes said. Dykes said the report indicated that University funding had not kept pace with inflation by a significant margin.
Dykes said Clark estimated an additional $4 million would be needed to restore funding.

LEGISLATORS ARE more curious about higher education now than they were before.
“This, of course, adds to the urgency surrounding our whole situation,” Dykes wrote. “We are obliged to provide our programs and our services to our students and to the people of the state will begin to erode unless there is a dramatic improvement in the level of financial support.”
"This means that we're going to have to develop more adequate and more complex data structures."
Dykes said he was cautiously optimistic about the prospects for approval of the 30 per cent faculty salary increase proposed last spring by Regent Jegent Jes Stewart.
"Most of the people we (Dykes and Conard) have talked with have had an understanding of what is happening," Dykes said. "We have provided a great deal of information to them about the cost of our organization, and I have had to purchase. I think they see it is essential for us to have some substantial increases in our state appropriations."
Conard said the eight dinners were arranged and paid for by the alumni.
dividual regents also have paid for part of the extenues. Conard said.
A typical speech features a 10 to 15 minute speech by the host regent, followed by a question and answer session with the condescension. Conard said.
"The HOST points out how relative funding of higher education has declined in recent years with respect to the various schools' peer groups." Conard said.
"They (the hosts) also point out that they salary are substantially below auctions."
At least one staff member from each school also attends the dinners, Conard and
—Agreed with the report of the Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities committee of the Faculty Senate that the faculty is not being given more fine tuning than a major overhaul."

-Saw no need for administrative reorganization of the University but he was decentralizing administrative responsibilities.
- Would offer no opinion on the proposed student lobbying organization, the Association.
KU-Y Sponsors Weekend Outing For Freshmen

Freshman Discovery Weekend will begin Friday, Oct. 5 and continue until Oct. 7.
