Oread neighbors build mini-park
By KATHY BRUSSELL Staff Reporter
Sunday may be a day of rest for some people, but for diligent residents of the Oread neighborhood, it has become the day of the weekly work party.
Fifteen neighborhood residents fought the hot sun and peaks gnats yesterday afternoon as they continued work on a mini-park they are building at the southeast corner of 13th and Louisiana streets.
The group, which includes KU students and a KU law professor, labored yesterdays of a firm that makes 12-foot beams and then hoist it into position.
THE CLIMBING TOWER is the latest addition to the park, which is being constructed by residents of the Oread neighborhood.
Since May, the workers have cleared and graded the lot, put in gravelled walks and a square play area, built a sand box and assembled park benches.
The Oread Neighborhood Association is supervising work on the park, according to Nan Harper, director of the ONA's anti-crime program.
Harper, 1209 Tennessee, said the ONA had received $2,000 in Community Development funds and $400 in funds to finance the park's construction.
The Kansas University Endowment Association owns the corner lot and is leasing it to the ONA for about $10 a month, she said.
Harper said the park project was a joint effort of KU students and other students from other schools.
which includes the area east of the KU campus to Massachusetts Street between Ninth and 19th streets.
"Our neighborhood is 45 percent students, and half of all the people involved in every project are students," she said.
KNOWLES SMITH, Topeka senior, and Buck Renofeld, Westport, Conn., senior; were two of the students who attended an evening to assemble the climbing tower.
"Buck borrowed some tools from some of the people working on this, and they asked us to help out," Smith said. "I look really good. I'm impressed."
Another weekend warrior was George C. Coggins, professor of law. Coggins, 1147 Ohio, said his children would use to use the park when it was finished.
"We had more people out here last weekend doing the actual leveling and landscaping," he said. "I expect it will be one of our work parties to get this into shape."
The lot at the corner of 13th and Louisiana used to be the site of the Faculty Women's Club, according to Dave Broyles, 1108 Ohio.
THE CLUB DISBANED about 10 years ago and gave the property, which included a house, to the Endowment Association, he said.
"The Endowment Association had no use for the structure and tore it down," Broyles said. "It's been a vacant lot ever since."
Broyles said he was pleased with the new residents, were working together to build a new house.
"We've been seeing a lot more of this kind of cooperation all around the
country," he said. "People are saying the government isn't responsible for everything and are digging in them." He really happy to see this happening."
A public dedication for the park will be Oct. 26. The ONA is sponsoring a name-the-park contest, and entry is welcome to be available in the group's October newsletter.
Christoffersen finalist at CSU
Ralph Christoffersen, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said yesterday that he would go to Colorado State to interview for the job of president.
Christoffersen is one of six finalists for the position at Colorado State in Fort Collins. He was chosen from 290 nominees.
He said he would go to Colorado State Oct. 13 and 14 to interview for the job because he wanted to learn more about the university and the job.
ALTHOUGH HE WAS pleased to be nominated, Christoffersen said, he was "quite happy doing what I'm doing at KI."
Christoffersen said he was notified about the nomination earlier this fall and had sent a resume to Colorado
State. He said he did not know who nominated him.
Other candidates for the post are Steven Sample, executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Nebraska; Bruce Poulton, chancellor of the university system of New Hampshire; Garry Hays, chancellor of the Minnesota State University system; George Christensen, vice president for academics, affairs at Iowa State University; and Ernest Briskey, dean of agriculture at Oregon State University.
The position should be filled by early
according to the Colorado
State Law.
Colorado State is 66 miles north of Denver and has an enrollment of more than 13,000 students.
