Landscape design expansion forseen
Modern landscape architecture is rapidly expanding because of an increased emphasis on environmental impacts, Garrett Eckb, architect and visiting lecturer at the School of Architecture and Urban Design, said Thursday night.
"We have a phenomenal range in this field because of the vast amount of environmental analysis being done today," he said.
Many people can associate with landscape architecture because the field isn't severely restricted, he said. Its range can extend to centers as well as underdeveloped areas.
Eckbo was one the world's first modern landscape architects. His designs of shopping malls in Fresno and Sacramento, it are recognized as innovations in the field.
Among other design projects credited to Ecko are the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque; Stanford Research Institute, Palo Alto, Calif.; Denver Botanical Gardens, Denver; and the Tucson Community Center. Tucson, Ariz.
He said that modern landscape architecture was marked by a close relationship with the landscape. More traditional approach places emphasis on ornamental landscaping, he said.
Authorities hear plan to rezone East Lawrence
A preliminary plan for rezoning areas north of Ninth and east of Massachusetts was presented Thursday at a meeting of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and the East Lawrence Improvement Association (ELIA).
According to Dick McClanahan, planning director, the object of the rezoning plan was to eliminate nonconforming uses in that area, to make homeowners there eligible for housing and rehabilitation loans and to stabilize the older neighborhoods.
McClanathan said a plan that would create some spot zoning, small zones within a larger one, might be the best way to go with this area.
A LARGE PART OF the area east of Massachusetts, which is currently commercially zoned, would be zoned residential under the new plan. Commercial uses already existing within that area would remain commercially zoned.
Tom Patchet, chairman of the ELIA zoning committee, said the suggested plan would relieve many of the immediate problems in East Lawrence. He said he would be considering a commission would consider a zoning change to allow more commercial use on Ninth.
The plan will be presented for approval at the next meeting of the planning commission. McClanahan said it would come under commission about the second Tuesday in April.
When discussing his involvement with projects in the desert regions of Arizona and New Mexico, he said the landscape architect can only hope to equalize the environment and make it as livable as possible.
Bidding on construction contracts for the planned KU School of Law building has been postponed until next Wednesday, according to Larry Krupp, director of the division of information. Bids were to have been submitted Thursday in Topeka.
"Any designer works within the restraints of a given situation," he said. "He must understand the opportunity arises. Of course, he never gets to do all of the things he would like to do."
Knupp said Thursday that a discrepancy in the instructions sent out earlier to prospective bidders forced the postponement.
Bidding delayed on law building
Bids are currently scheduled to be submitted by 3 p.m. m.n. next Wednesday in the state capital.
The proposed law building is estimated to cost $5 million and is scheduled for completion in the fall of 197. It will be located directly northwest of Allen Field House.
The state architect earlier eliminated a with story from the building's plans because it was too big.
The bitter cold of winter is felt by everyone, but especially by the poor and the elderly who have fixed incomes and whose homes aren't always weatherproof.

'WINterization'aids poor, elderly
By BARB HANN
Now something is being done about this problem in Lawrence. Delta Tau Delta fraternity at the University of Kansas is the work force behind Operation WIN-
"There is a push for projects like this to improve the homes of the elderly and the poor so they will be more winter-proof and energy-secure, which ties in with President Ford's WIN program," MacNeil said.
Teresa MacNevin, executive director of the East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation (ECKAN), said Thursday that Community Action Agencies all over the country were working to increase their revenues as part of Operation WNitzerization.
The project is funded by a $15,000 grant from the Community Services Administration of the federal government, for the Office of Economic Opportunity.
MACNEVIN SAID THERE were at least two people that needed to be welcomed immediately.
"You just can't believe the deplorable conditions some elderly people live in, even in an affluent town such as Lawrence," she said.
Andy Fletcher, president of Delta Tau Delta, and that 38 members of the fraternity.
"We put up storm windows, repaired roofs, rewired electricity and pained," he

said. "In general, we're trying to help them survive the winter."
GWENDOLYN BROWN, DIRECTOR OF the Multi-Purpose Center of ECKAN, said that the center took applications for storm damage and also served as the Franklin County Rehabilitation project.
Physically and mentally handicapped persons at the Center construct custom-made storm windows and doors from materials provided by ECKAN, Brown said.
"This is mainly a community service project for the fraternity house," he said. "It is very self-gratifying to be helping these people."
The finished windows and doors are returned to volunteers so they can put them inside.
Captia Lopez, 837 E.13th, said that the volunteers fixed her roof, painted her walls and woodwork and were getting storm windows made for her.
"They did a wonderful job," she said. "I've been trying to get these things done for so long. But I had a bone taken out of my knees and now I'm iPrirepie and I can't work."
"I like Lawrence and I've lived in this

house since 1947. All of the workers were wonderful. At noon when they were here, they were painting in the kitchen, so they were over for me from the fraternity house.
MacNevin said that ECKAN was working at houses in Coffey, Douglas, Franklin.

MacNevin said that ECKAN had to compete for funding with 56 other agencies in the four state region of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Only 12 agencies in the four state region showed they had community support and volunteers to qualify for the funds, she said.

"By having volunteers go out year-round, we can continue to encourage communities to develop their own projects." MacNevin said. "Already the Kiwanis Club in Lawrence has expressed a desire to help in the project."
"Last Saturday, in addition to the building materials we already had, local businesses donated nails, hammers, lumber and weatherstripping. Some of the grocery stores donated coffee and cookies to the volunteers," she said.
