Architects offer plan for airport
The design for a new terminal at the Lawrence Municipal Airport was designed for reaction from Lawrence to Cincinnati connectors at a study session yesterday.
Michael Treanor and Allen Belot, local architects who have prepared the drawings, presented them yesterday to the commissioners.
"I'm very pleased I think we've come a long way," Mayer Ernest Angusti said.
The building is divided into space for commuters and airport personnel.
The plan, which was approved by the Lawrence Aviation Board of Lawy is for a 4,500 square ft limestone terminal costing $567,421.
The commuter side includes space for a vending and dining area and a baggage room, and the other side houses a pilots' lounge and office space.
The center of the building is devoted to a passenger waiting area. A landscaped outdoor viewing area and people watch airplanes take off and land.
There are 45 parking spaces in the design, and Treanor said that a large sundial could be built in the middle of the lot some day. Treanor said the parking could be expanded if necessary.
"This is enough to meet the needs right now," he said.
Treanor said that the plan could accommodate future expansion on each side of the building. A separate building at Nagar west of the building, he said.
The design includes an angled overhanging roof with several large skylights, which could be used for passive solar heating. Treanor said.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said she was pleased with the design, and Commissioner David Longhurst said he and Belot had done a "nice job."
The interior design for the terminal was approved by the board in July.

KU wins civil suit against McMurry
The University of Kansas has been granted a default judgment for $257,051. 17 plus court costs in a civil case. The former, guardian of KU on Wheels.
"All the judgment really does at this point is establish our right to the money, if the judgment becomes final." Mary Prewitt, assistant general counsel for the University, said yesterday.
The judgment, issued Thursday in Douglas County District Court, was granted because McMurry did not reply to the summons for the suit within 20 days after receiving it. The University filed the suit last month, and McMurry received the summons on Sept. 13.
McMurray, who was transferred to the Topeka Pre-Release Center from the El Dorado Honor Camp last month, probably will be paroled in December.
Authorities at the Topeka Pre-Release Center said McMurry did not want to talk to the press.
Prewitt said the judgment was not.
The judgment in the civil case has a legal effect on the criminal case. Precedent
The University filed the civil case because criminal case orders, such as those issued in McMurry's original trial, and civil case orders, such as those issued Thursday, are enforced in different ways. Prewitt said.
Prewitt said that Thursday's judgment could be used as grounds for putting a lien on property McMurry owned or as grounds for garnishment from any wages he might earn if he became employed after his parole.
Drilling may reveal new side of Kansas
On July 8, 1983, McMurry was sentenced to eighty to 20 years in state prison on five counts of embezzling funds from the KU bus system. He also was ordered to pay the University $257,651.17 in restitution.
final because McMurray could move to reopen the case in district court at a later date, or he could appeal to the Kansas Court of Appeals.

"There will be revision of our view of the mid-continent because of this." he said
A geological formation targeted in a multimillion-dollar oil and gas gamble is changing ideas about what underlies the central United States, a Kansas Geological Survey official said recently.
Dean Lebestky, associate director of the survey, said samples taken at a Texaco drilling site in Washington County eventually would provide data about previously unexplored depths in Kansas.
TEXACO BEGAN DRILLING last month on a well authorized to be 13,000 feet in depth. The state record
"The sesame data became available in the last two years," he said. "It allowed us to present the presence of

Oil and gas - hydrocarbon deposits - usually occur in sedimentary rock Sedimentary formations developed only after the earth's crust cooled and usually rest upon cooled igneous rock.
Below that lies the bedrock, he said, which is about 1 billion years old. Texas is drilling through that sedimentary rock to another another sedimentary formation.
Done Steeples, adjunct associate professor of geology, said recent studies had raised questions for geologists.
"Common wisdom in Kansas is that all sedimentary rocks are at 3,000 to 4,000 feet." Lebeshtk said.
different layers and entrapment of hydrocarbons "
Ernest Angin, professor of geology and civil engineering, said sedimentary rocks were the lightest kind of rock.
STEEPLES SAID GEOLOGISTS wanted to confirm depth readings and learn about temperatures at meteorites. The geologists metipy, rock seemed to alternate.
It now appears that two gravity lows sandwich a gravity high, he said. Variations in gravity indicate different densities and different kinds of rock.
He said interest in the formations began about 50 years ago when an anomaly, or deviation, in gravity became known.
"With a big stack of sedimentary rocks, you would expect to have a
gravity low." he said.
Angino has worked with a Geary County gas deposit related to the same formations.
But the gas is not methane, or natural gas, but a mixture of hydrocarbons.
He said research was at a lull until money and time brought a chance to explore the origin and source of the gas.
"IT'S RELATIVELY UNUSAL right now," he said.
Steeples said the anomaly, which extended northeast into the western Great Lakes region, might go as far north as Alaska. Some believe it goes into Oklahoma.
Lobesky said Texaco had bought oil lease rights in several states because of data from tests done in the late 1970s.
A large research consortium known as COCORP conducted the tests in Washington and Nenama and tested their pattern like the stitches of a football.
HE SAID COCORP, which was based at Cornell University, wanted to develop a national map of deep formations.
Drilling samples will confirm or modify the data COCORP has collected in the Kansas tests, he said.
"It's the perfect validity test," he said.
Lebestyka said seismological tests usually involved creating vibrations and measuring the time it took for them to reflect to the surface.
"If you get consistent data from a number of locations, the chances are you have a sedimentary formation," he said.
