Winter seeks support from state for Haskell
By The Associated Press
TOPEKA — City, state and school officials earlier this week told lawmakers that northeast Kansas would benefit if the state were to expand its aid to community colleges to include Haskell Indian Junior College in Lawrence
State Sen. Wint Winter, R-Lawrence, told the Legislative Educational Planning Committee that Haskell was a resource that could be of great value to the state in training Kansans for high technology jobs if a vocational technical training center were established at the school,
And in all fairness, he said the state also should compensate Haskell, as it does community colleges, for residents of the state who attend school at its 320-acre campus on Lawrence's southeast side. The total package would cost the state about $100,000. Winter estimated.
"The bill would treat Kansas students at Haskell the same as we treat Kansas students at the other two-year institutions," Winter said. The bill, which Winter introduced during the last legislative session, is still alive in the Senate.
"And we're also seeking state funding to establish a Technical Job Training Center to take advantage of the resources there. We've got existing teachers, existing facilities and existing equipment at Haskell we could use instead of building new facilities somewhere and having to hire new teachers and buy new equipment."
The bill is part of an attempt by Haskell officials to expand more into the Lawrence and Douglas County in addition and greater state and local involvement.
The state currently pays $26.25 a credit hour to the 19 community colleges and Washburn University. Winter said it would cost about $40,000 if Haskell were added to the list. However, school officials point out that the state already pays for Kansas Indians who attend other community colleges and should pay for Kansas Indians who attend Haskell.
Winter said that Douglas County would pay the bulk of the vo-tech center funding through property takes or a countywide levy, with the possibility that Lawrence would add funds.
Federal budget cuts have reached the century-old school, which became a comprehensive junior college in 1970 and operates on a $7 million budget.

Store named by developer to go in mall

A Lawrence clothing store will be the anchor store for the proposed riverfront mall, a spokesman for the Texas company in charge of the project said at Tuesday's City Commission meeting.
A. J. Cromer's, the clothing store, and Two Crowns Inc., the Fort Worth, Texas, developer for the proposed mall, had not been able to reach an agreement despite an announcement in March that Cromer's would anchor the mall.
Commissioner Ernest Anglo said the significance of the announcement depended on whether A. J. Cromer's would expand to become a full-line department store.
Angino said he thought the riverfront development and a separate development proposed by Town Center Venture, Corp. and Jacobs, Viasconi, Jacobs would be good for Lawrence. He said Two Industries company that had not asked for city financing for the project.
"I think it's a good idea to have the two shopping centers under development at the same time," Angino said. In other business, the commission approved the site plan for the addition to Lawrence Paper Co., 2901 Lakeview Road.
The only dissenting vote was cast by Commissioner Howard Hill, who voted no because he wanted a guarantee that paper stored outside the company's building would be placed out of sight behind the building.
Ed Collister, an attorney representing Lawrence Paper Co., said the company would have to spend a lot of money to meet this request.
the commission also approved a site plan for a Dillons Super Store at the northeast corner of Lawrence Avenue and Sixth Street.
The commission granted the approval on the condition that the Dilbons store would be built 10 feet farther south than indicated on the plans, creating more screening area between the store and the northern residential neighborhood.
Another condition required Dillons and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co to work together to place telephone caples underground.
legislative help, his institution could more effectively reach out to Kansas Indians, reducing unemployment among the state's Indians and the number of Indians on Kansas welfare rolls, and producing trained, skilled employees.
"We're talking about serving Kansas residents," Gipp said, noting that in Douglas County alone, the 1980 census showed unemployment among Indians stood at 17 percent, the highest of any category. He said that is representative of statewide employment figures.
"There is a need to address with unemployment. We want to prepare Indian people to become more productive and self-supporting. But we're not here begging for resources. We want to play a larger role in serving Kansas residents."
Haskell now has an enrollment of about 800, of whom 50 are Kansans. Gipp said he would like to double the number of students from Kansas and draw upon large Indian populations in Wichita, an estimated 18,000, and other urban areas. Currently, Haskell's Kansas students come from the Kickapo and Pottawatomite reservations and Douglas and Brown counties.
The committee took no action but is expected to make a recommendation on the bill to the 1986 Legislature before it convenes in January.
Construction flurry almost over

The scaffolding that has surrounded Naismith Hall for the past year and a half will be coming down in the next couple of weeks, Naismith Hall's resident director said Monday.
Brad Tennant, the director, said workers had been weatherproofing the building's brickwork since the spring of 1884 and soon would finish work on the south side — the last to be completed.
"Every once in a while you have to do some general maintenance on buildings, especially since this one is 20 years old." Tennant said.
The work on Naismith Hall is one of several campus construction projects nearing completion.
Naimish Hall is privately managed and operated by Allan O'Hara Developers of Memphis, Tenn., which pays for the building's construction and maintenance.

Tennant said there had been very
"There really isn't a lot of noise," he said.
On West Campus, construction of Youngberg Hall, new home of the Kansas University Endowment Association, is nearing completion, said Martin Henry, vice president of property management for the association.
Henry said only some interior work and landscaping remained. Henry could not release cost estimates for the project, but said financing had come from a private source.
Along with the building of Youngberg Hall on West Campus, facilities operations will also begin moving its garage, motor pool and landscaping offices, now south of Stauffer-Flint Hall, to West Campus this fall, Allen Wiechert, university director of facilities planning, said.
The move will make room for a new Human Development Center after the buildings that facilities
operations occupied are torn down, Wiechert said. The center will be an extension of Haworth Hall's east wing.
"We expect to accept bids starting Jan. 1." Wiechert said, "So far we've received about $12 million for the project from the federal government and private sources."
An eight-story, 104, 900-square-foot addition to Haworth Hall was completed this summer, said James Canole, campus director for facilities planning.
The building's expansion will provide additional space for programs including biology, botany and entomology.
of construction on campus in the past three years, which has included the Boots S. Adams Alumni Center, additions to Summerfield, Moore and Malott halls, the new engineering building, and the Hall and the Anschutz Pavilion.
"Of course, the facilities are needed." Wiechert said, "especially the libraries to make room for new books and students."
These.projects are part of a flurry
Projects still in planning stages are a new science library, which will cost about $13.9 million, and renovations of Snow Hall, planned to begin next summer. Renovations are also planned for the Kansas Union. A date has not been set for the beginning of the project, Wiechert said.
