KU to give $40,000 to study
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
The University of Kansas will team up with Washburn University in an effort to help Kansas solve its economic problems, a KU professor of business said yesterday.
Anthony Redwood, professor of business, said KU would contribute about $40,000 in professional staffing time toward a study to develop an economic and job development plan for Kansas.
Redwood said that besides KU's contribution, Washburn was contributing $7,700 in staff time, the state was contributing $40,000 and an
additional $40,000 was coming from the private sector.
The project, which will involve KU's Institute for Public Policy and Business Research, will be used by the Kansas Legislature in making decisions that could bring more jobs to Kansas.
Redwood, director of the study, said the state's universities should start getting involved in helping Kansas get back on track economically.
"I don't think the state has used the universities like they should have in the past," he said.
Unlike many states, Kansas has not rebounded from the economic
problems of the 1970s. Redwood said it was time that people looked at the Kansas economy and did something.
"In Kansas we've been just sort of drifting along," he said. "People are getting concerned that the state's economy is not as good as they want it to be."
Redwood said KU should become involved in the state's economic matters, not only because it received money from the Legislature but because it was the University's responsibility.
The Strato-matic Baseball Club will meet at 7 p.m. today in Parlor C of the Kansas Union.
"We should be involved in helping the state deal with its problems," he said.
The Mount Oread Bike Club Racing Team will conduct training rides beginning at 3 p.m. today through Friday starting from Strong Hall.
The KU Women's Soccer Club will practice at 6 p.m. today and Thursday at the soccer fields at 23rd and Iowa streets.
The Tau Sigma Student Dance Club will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. tomorrow in 242 Robinson Center.

KTA approves a bid for new interchange
United Press International
OVERLAND PARK — The Kansas Turnpike Authority yesterday approved an Augusta firm's $1.77 million bid for the construction of a new turnpike interchange north of El Dorado.
The five-member KTA unanimously awarded the project to LA. Knebler Construction Co., which had submitted the lowest bid, said KTA Chairman Nick Badway, an EL Dorado oilman.
Rod Fogu, chief engineer and manager of KTA, said construction probably would begin in two to three months should be complete by August.
The interchange will be at the intersection of U.S. 77 and the Kansas Turnpike in Butler County in south central Kansas.
Fogo said that was the only intersection he knew of in Kansas which involved federal and interstate highways that did not have an interchange.
Badwey called a special meeting of the KTA because he said he wanted work on the project to begin as soon as possible, there had been made until the KTA's next meeting in late October, he said.
The KTA was surprised at L.A. Kneiber's $1.77 million bid. The KTA's engineering department had estimated construction of the interchange would cost $2.4 million.
Badwy said the interchange would relieve congestion in the El Dorado Lake area, especially on holidays. Approximately 77,000 people were at the lake during the extended Fourth of July weekend.
"Anytime you can offer them an alternate entrance or way to it, it's got to help," he said.
