Thom Davidson, Senate Elections Committee chairman, election would not last. Voters at Fraser Hall were among was worried that the supply of ballots for the Student Senate hundreds who voted yesterday.

While Allen held Westar, Gardner worked under it in the payload bay, first attaching a plastic cover over the craft's dirty rocket nozzle and then bolting on a mounting ring.
AT ONE POINT, Gardner lost a wrench.
Walker spotted it floating against a bulkhead
and gardner — attached to a safety line — dove after the wrench and retrieved it.
With the mount attached, Allen lowered the satellite gently into three open latches.
The two spacewalkers had returned to the safety of the cabin by 12:10 n. m. and Hauck
gave an update to Ross to be relayed to mission controllers:
"You can tell them the airlock is depressurized and all is well with the world."
"Roger that, give 'em a good handshake and a slap on the back." Ross replied.

do the work, but it takes time to put a project of this magnitude together."
Sith said it was important for a city to stick with its developer until the developer could convince department stores that the city was committed to its downtown project.
"Department stores are predisposed to going into suburban malls," he said. "It's hard for them to do that."
MANHATTAN HAS SUPPORTED its downtown project through thick and thin, he said, although citizens at times have complained of no tangible progress on the downtown cities, city commissioners have rejected proposals for malls outside the downtown area.
In city elections, voters continually have supported candidates favoring downtown areas.
Sith was designated as the city staff person primarily responsible for seeing that the downtown mall became a reality. Sith serves as the liaison between the city and the developer, helping the project to be viewed as the city's, and not just the developer's.
Manhattan's example shows that two things are necessary for a community planning to develop a downtown mall: time and commitment.
THREE YEARS AFTER Manhattan's developer of record was selected, department stores committed to the project. In 2015, the developer nine years after the developer was chosen.
Lawrence settled on its developer of record about 10 months ago. Since then, there have been complaints within the community that nothing has happened with the TCVC project because department stores have yet to commit to the project.
But Manhattan's successes thus far seem to be the exception, not the rule. It is far more common for communities to succumb to the problems of building a downtown mall, and allow a mall away from the downtown area to be built
Four years ago, Topeka was planning to
build a 325,000-square-foot downtown mail
BUT TOPEKA CITY commissioners shocked the city by allowing a group of property owners in an area west of downtown to pursue plans for a suburban shopping mall. This was to be a temporary agreement but was later extended.
Topeka's downtown developer quit the project in anger because he felt he'd lost the job.
Paul Glaves, executive director of the Capital City Redevelopment Agency, said Topeka had worked for three years on the downtown project. At that time Topeka faced the same problems Lawrence is facing now. "We're constantly knowing when things would get done downtown."
"The public at large in Topeka wants things to happen downtown and is impatient." Glaves said. "But there are so many steps in the process."
DEVELOPERS STILL DO not have commitments from department stores for the mall west of downtown Topeka, leaving retail development in Topeka at a standstill.
Although Topeka's developer of the proposed mall west of town has done a study indicating development would not significantly benefit Glaves area, Glaves said this was a "joke."
The downtown area in Topeka accounts for one-third of the total retail sales for Shawnee County, he said. White Lakes Mall, about five miles south of downtown Topeka, and the surrounding area make up another third. The rest is dispersed throughout the county.
In spite of the failure of the downtown plan, Glaves said he was still optimistic about the future of downtown Topeka, where about 29,000 people work Downtown redeveloped. He cut back to plans for a mixed use development with a hotel, office and retail space.
"The history of downtown Topea has been frustrating." Glaves said. "Some things we've wanted to accomplish we haven't accomplished.
