City commission bars deck at local tavern
By STEVE BASKA Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night told the owner of the East Side Tavern, 900 Pennsylvania Street, to remove an unauthorized deck from his business. The commission also approved the issuance of temporary notes to begin construction on a fourth city fire station.
TOM HAYDEN, owner of the EAST Side Tavern, had requested the approval of a site revision plan. The plan included a deck that was built onto the tavern after the original site plan, not showing the deck, had been approved.
The commission unanimously denied the request and Hayden must now dismantle the deck.
Neighbors have opposed the tavern in the past, saying it would cause too much disruption and the predominately residential area of 9th and Pennsylvania Streets.
Commissioner Marci Francisco said that Hayden should have made sure the deck was in the original plans and that there had been ample time do so. The original plans had been discussed at several previous commission meetings.
Commissioner Barkley Clark agree "When we start rewarding violations
of a site plan we are in trouble," Clark said.
HAYDEN SAID to Schumm, "I've got a chain saw. I can just cut it down."
Commissioner Bob Schumm said that noise, trash and traffic problems might result if the deck were opened for public use.
The commission also unanimously approved the issuance of $280,000 in temporary funds to finance the Clinton Parkway and Lawrence Avenue.
got a chain saw. I can just cut it down.
Schumm then promptly moved for denial of the request and the commission approved the motion.
The money will be used to pay the

Andersen Construction was the apparent low binder on the Marvin Hall floor, subjecting a base bid of $1,733.179 for renovation of the 70-year-old building.
"It won't be final until we sign a contract," Pecis said.
Allen Wiechart, KU director of facilities planning, said yesterday that a contract would be drawn up after bids were studied more carefully.
Total projected cost of the plan to improve and modernize facilities for the KU School of Architecture and Urban Design is $2.8 million.
Renovation plans by Design/Build Architects of Lawrence call for extensive interior changes to provide design studios and a makeshift room for architecture students and classroom space for students in urban planning.

The more than 650 students and 40 faculty of the School of Architecture and Urban Design will hold classes in Lindley Hall Annex, Blake Health and Physical Education Center, O'Leary Hall and part of the old Fowler Shops in Flint Hall not occupied by art and design departments.

Voters approved a general obligation bond issue on August 5 to pay for the station, which will be contained in the remodeled Grover Barn. The historic barn was used to hide slaves escaping underground Railroad and was a studio for the late Bernard "Poco" Frazier, a nationally-known area sculptor.
THE COMMISSION also tentatively scheduled an all-day workshop with consultants of the proposed downtown mall for 10 a.m. Sept. 18. Details of the plans will be discussed and the meeting will be open to the public.

A bid of $7,805 from Durkin Equipment of Overland Park was accepted for a carbon dioxide feeder for the utility department.

VETERANS NOW YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!
WITH
ARMY
ROTC
We think you'll agree that financing a college education these days is no piece of cake, and
days is no piece of cake, and
$8,800 would go a long way toward meeting this sometimes difficult problem. Army ROTC can help take the pressure off, because as a veteran you may qualify for the Army's newly-enacted Simultaneous Membership Program under which up to $8,800 can be your dependents on your current academic year. This new program will not only enable you to gain financially, but you'll build toward a meaningful future as well.
Here's how it works.
Depending on available vacancies, you become a member of an Army Reserve or National Guard unit as an officer trainee, and at the same time, enroll in the Army ROTC advanced course at your college. Your Reserve or Guard membership will pay you at the minimum level of an E-5, and you'll receive $100 a month during the regular school year as an Army ROTC advanced course cadet. At the end of your second year of ROTC, assuming there's a vacancy, you'll be commissioned a 2nd LT, and serve with a Guard or Reserve unit while you complete the requirements for your college degree. Upon graduation, you'll continue service with a Guard or Reserve unit while pursuing your civilian career, or you can, if you prefer, compete for active duty as an Army officer.
And, you can do all this while continuing to be fully eligible for your G.I. benefits.
So, whoever said "you can't have your cake and eat it too" never heard of the Army's Simultaneous Membership Program.
