Faculty to put on odd show

City garage still fought
A fight to stop the building of a city garage at Second and Indiana streets is being waged by the Pinckney neighborhood and Old West Lawrence Association.
The associations have opposed the site since spring, when the subject first came before the City Commission. The commission decided Nov. 12 to build at Second and Indiana streets despite the associations' protests. Tuesday the appoach was directed by the commission petition with more than 3,600 signatures calling for a public vote on the site.
The neighborhood groups gave several reasons for objecting to the Second and Indiana location at the commission meeting Nov. 12. They contend the garage would be detrimental to Pinckney school, Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Riverfront Park and residences. They also said it cost too much money to insure the property, ignored the consolidation with county schools at the 23rd and Learnard location, and it would alienate citizens.
Commissioner Nancy Hambleton the location wasn't in a residential area. The commission said it would be advantageous to build the garage by the city water plant at Second and Indiana streets rather than in conjunction with the county shops.
Tuesday, the commission turned over the petition to the city clerk for verification and asked the city attorney, Milton Allen, for his signature. The mayor signed valid signatures on the petition and Allen advises the commission that the decision is a legislative matter, the people will vote on the location. If Allen rules that the matter is administrative, it isn't subject to
Ed Collinster, attorney for the associations, said Wednesday that he would recommend to his clients that they take their protest to court if Allen rules it is an administrative matter. The court would decide on whether Allen's ruling was correct.
The Second and Indiana location was one of several considered by the commission for the relocation to Manitoba, and suggestion from a consultant was hired to evaluate the sites. The consultant's first choice, 19th and Haskell, was rejected by the commission, presentation of a petition of 888 area residents.
The city commission then voted Nov. 12 to build at Second and Indiana街s, the second choice of the consultant. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission had earlier voted 84 that the city be rebuilt with its consistent with its comprehensive plan. The city commission chose to override the planning commission's decision.
"Many times there is a group that doesn't like something," Hambleton said, "But you have to do what you think is best for the city."
Meanwhile, the city is proceeding with its plans for the garage. The commission suggested to Collister that he might take legal steps to halt the project after it became apparent that he requested that the city stop its work until the outcome of the petition matter is known.
Mayor Jack Rose said that now was a good time to take bids on the project since construction had slowed and contractors had kids that they might have made later.

The bill is expected to be reported favorably and should then be placed on the Senate agenda.
A candidate for student body president would be required under the bill to disclose the total amount of money he spent on the project, including materials and materials he received other than cash.
John Beinsner, student body president, told StudEx last night that the Senate Complaint Service was investigating at least two such cases in which books appeared to be exorbitantly priced.
The University has no policy to deal with the possibility of unethical practices concerning instructors taking advantage of students as a captive audience to sell books. The petition asks that the administration high guidelines for members of the faculty.
A petition asking that Green Hall be remodeled into a Student Services Center will be held in the lobby, and it will be on the Senate agenda. The proposed center would house the offices of deans of men and women, and other student services, including the Office of Minority Affairs.
Green Hall is an excellent place for a student services center, because it is close to the Union and would be accessible to prospective KU students, according to Steve Segebrecht, chairman of the Student Services Committee.
In other action, StudEx selected Joyce Hudson as chairman of the Senate Elections Committee. The post was recently vacated by Hogan, who resigned because of ill health.

The Endowment Association bought the tract in early 1972. The original purchase was 320 acres, but the Army Corps of Engineers, builders of the dam and lake, obtained 98 acres on the north end of the tract by a suit of condemnation later in 1972. That left the border of the tract about one-fourth of a mile south of the lakeshore.

Henry said Corps of Engineer guidelines prohibited building roads or facilities on the lakefront property. The Corps probably will encourage KU people to use nearby public swimming areas rather than allow the Endowment Association to build them, Henry said.
