Icy hills limit easy access, promote backsliding

As winter closes in, the ever-increasing distances between eneers the campus have once again doubled. A matter of hours' worth
An increase in the number of buildings to the west, in particular, has prompted the University Daily Kanan to make a brief survey of places on campus that appear less accessible than others.
The assignment had deep, personal interest for me after a haunting experience in the winter of 1972, when I slipped on a snow-covered hill near the carillon and could only get to the top of the hill by digging holes in the ice with my boots and clawing at the ground through the snow.
The route I had taken then was a "short cut"
between the Kansas Union and Lindley Hau has taken seven minutes to wait in clear weather, for
"This is one of the more inconvenient buildings." Dog Gum, a Laurel junior, said yesterday about Lakewood.
He said that he had to walk twice a day between the Union and Lindley.
"It's no great hardship, it's just a 10-minute walk," he said.
Dr. Michael Brady, assistant professor of geology, said that he had not noticed Lindley's alleged inconvenience, but he added that of course he and the classes he taught were all in Lindley.
Brady said, however, that a few students were consistently late to class.
If walking the entire length of Jayhawk Boulevard in a 10-minute break between classes seemed difficult, hiking up the hill behind Wesco Hall and Hall Auditorium in cold winter weather could be even worse, as Mike Henggeler, Kansas City, may junior, suggested.
"I've had some say that they had a class clear over on the other side of the campus," he said.
Hengeler said that although most of his classes were in Marvin Hall, he did occasionally have to come up the hill from Summerfield, and that strong winter winds made that difficult.
As it happens, the new Student Health Center is located just a few thousand yards away from the
of foot that hill. The original Watkins Hospital, now renamed Twente Hall, was just off Jawayh Boulevard. However, James Strobl, associate health services, said that he didn't think the Health Department made it.
"The University's feeling was: 'I want a carpark lot would make it more accessible to the students.'"
It takes a cool six minutes to walk between the Health Center and Strong Hall, which is roughly central in the campus. (Presumably, it would take a frigid eight or nine minutes in worse weather.)
However, Martin Wollmann, director of health services, agreed with Strob's opinion of the benefit.
"Many students prefer it here." Wollmann said.
He said he realized that not many students could just run down to the Health Center between classes, but that it was convenient for those with a little knowledge of medicine that the new hospital was closer to many of the dorms.
Marjorie Zwiers, Zeeland, Mich., graduate student, said that she lived off campus and usually walked to class. However, if really cold weather developed, there was only one bus she could ride that went near her apartment, and it left campus only once an hour, she said.
Therefore, filling up the backpacks, getting the parkas dry-cleaned, and even exhuming the snowshoes and dog-sleeps not be entirely amiss. The students of the University of Kansas is getting bigger every day.

Reserving all X-zone labeled bad decision'
The University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas
Reserving all of X-zone parking lot during football games for athletic association contributors was "a very bad decision," said the chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board.

Senate Reporter
Phil Prichey, chairman of the board, said last night that Executive Vice Chancellor Del Shanker's decision to reserve 440 additions would be complete and completely close the lot to the public.
In a letter delivered today to Shankel.
"Before, they used just the graveled part of X-zone." Prickey said "Now they'll get it."
Frickey expressed concern that the Parking and Traffic Board and the University Council weren't consulted before the decision was made. He said the matter of football game parking was a concern of the entire University community and therefore should have passed through different channels.
Beisner said that the Senate last year wanted to reduce parking fees in green zone
First 10 amendments flop in modern billing

It's almost enough to make James Madison turn over in his grave.
But that isn't always the case
After almost 300 years of American in-

Today is the 185th anniversary of the congressional decision to send to the states 12 proposed constitutional amendments, the first 10 of which became the Bill of Rights. The next four amendmentsJayhawk Boulevard trying to get people to sign a copy of those 10 amendments.
Ever wonder what those werdos sitting at tables all over campus were trying to get you to sign? Well, don't judge them too hardly. Kansan reporter Roy Clement braved cold and insults yesterday to see whether KU students would sign, or even recognize, the Bill of Rights.
I did not tell anybody that the petitions I had were copies of the Bill of Rights. Rather, the pages were titled "Petition for the Rights of All People," a slogan that might well have been used when the amendments were drafted in 1989.
I sat at a table near the Information Booth. On the front of the table was a sign crudely lettered "PETITION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS."
I've always wondered about the sanity and persistence of campus hawkers of religion and politics. Yesterday, about 2,060 people passed by me from 1 to 4 p.m. of

to $25 but was told the University Council had to be consulted on the matter first.
He said he was concerned that the University Council wasn't consulted on this rule.
Shankel said Monday the decision to provide special parking was made as a way to reinburn the Athletic Association for 6,000 cost of resurfacing and relictting S-zone.
Beisner said the Athletic Corporation built additional parking facilities on its own property. The group also owns Parking and Traffic Board report of last year, neither the stadium lot nor any other facility has been added.
"I see no need for the rest of the University community to make up lost revenue from football training to pay for something we did not request," he said.
According to Beisner, the public will have to pay $15,000 to the Athletic Corporation over a four year period in fees that originally would have come from the parking area taken up by "by a privileged few individuals from off-campus."
"Since no public agreement on this exchange was made prior to lot construction, I do not understand why anything is owed to the Athletic Corporation," he said.
"We all keep hearing stories about how poor the Athletic Corporation is," Beissner said "sure as he would like to know where we come up with $2,000 to build parking lots."
The corporation may have had a large contribution from someone, he said, but at the same time the University was told ticket fees could be raised because of financial difficulties.
Frickey said Security and Parking was operating under a financial strain. The revenue from the 440 X-zone parking places at McDonald's was used for those parking spaces at no charge takes away an income that the Parking and Traffic can't afford to lose, Frickey said.
"This totally contradicts that," Beisner said.
He said the resurfacing of the parking benefited the Athletic department much more.
He said he didn't know that the Athletic Corporation Board even considered the expenditure of $27,000 and didn't know the authority to initiate the action came from.

Dean replies to complaints by students
A protest yesterday by about 35 students of the School of Social Welfare may result in some curriculum changes, David Harding, acting dean of the school, said last night.
The students assembled outside Twente Hall yesterday morning, then met with Mrs. Cronk, a graduate of the college.
The students complained that cusses were too large and that they could take only three. The teacher said she would not.
"Several things will be done in the near future, but several things can't be done right away."
He said he thought all the students' problems focused on the ratio of students to faculty.
"That is the crux of the problem," he said. "We are either over under-facultied or over-studented. Beyond that, we will try to react to the problems we see."
Glass dispute apparently resolved
He said he thought most of the students' complaints were legitimate and he would listen.
"We hope to offer this spring a greater number of elective courses with our limited number."

Hardcastle said he met yesterday with Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs, to review the current state of his department and discuss ideas for increasing its flexibility.

The dispute over whether to allow Bill Glass, an evangelist, to speak in Lawrence public schools during school hours applies to the agreement of the two parties involved.
The lawyers for the two groups, one a citizens' group and the second the Lawrence School Board, agreed to an indefinite continuance of an attempted injunction to prevent Glass from making several scheduled appearances in local schools.
The citizens' group sought the injunction against the school board because Glass had been scheduled to appear at several public hearings on the subject. Charles Kahn, spokesman for the citizens' group, yesterday. Although Glass' speeches in the schools were to be motivational and not political, the citizens' group thought such speeches would be effective with the constitutional right of separation of
church and state because the speeches would coincide with his evangelical crusade
The indefinite continuance means that a court hearing to decide the injunction will not take place unless one of the two parties wants to initiate the hearing.
A dismissal motion will be made by the citizens' group when the issue becomes moot, which means that the case has no impact on the outcome to become moot when glass leaves Lawrence.
A hearing to allow Federal Judge Earl E. O'Connor, U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, to decide whether to enjoin the Lawrence schools from allowing students there; then them was originally scheduled for 10 a.m. at the district court in Kansas City, Ks.
No hearing took place because of the agreement.
The citizens' group didn't pursue the injunction because Glass decided Monday to hold the trial.
schools, Kahn, said. Members of the citizens' group are of several religious denominations and have children in them. Kahn said he was satisfied with the results.
Kahn said the citizens' group met Thursday with Carl Knox, superintendent of the schools, and offered a compromise to Mrs. Knox to willing to accept Glass' appearances if religious parts of the speeches were taken and all facades of the speeches were made after regular school hours.
Knox didn't accept the compromise. Kahn then called Glass on Thursday and Friday and offered the same compromise, Kahn said.
Glass called Kahn on Sunday and said that he (glass) had compromised enough by removing the speech and he turned down the compromise, Kahn said. He then group initiated the injunction suit Monday in the Kansas City district court.
Lawrence axes filming of movie parade scene
Plans to shoot scenes in Lawrence for a movie starring Linda Lovace尔ave have been canceled, and plans for filming at the University are now indefinite. Bruce Timmons, the director and local representative for the movie production company, said last night.
Ricker said the changes had been made because the city of Lawrence had withdrawn permission for the shooting of a parade scene on Massachusetts Street. The scene was to have been filmed at 9 this morning.
As of 11:45 last night, Ricker said, he still permission from the University to file a petition.
"We're going to shoot what we were planning to shoot on campus anyway," Ryan said.
He said the film production crew would meet at noon and then decide on a location for filming. He said scenes would be filmed on campus this afternoon and tomorrow.
"We have approval from the University," Ricker said. "But we have to make sure there isn't any congestion. We can't shoot in Lawrence."
Buford Watson, city manager, said the
film company had never made a formal request to conduct a parade on the lawn.
"Last Thursday they told me they wanted to use the high school band to march down Massachusetts Street," Watson said. "But you don't want to be commissioners' approvals for that."
Watson said the company had mlarespecified itself and the type of movie shown.
"I had no idea they were filming an R-or X-rated movie," he said.
Even before the filming plans had been changed, Edwin Bartley, director of the Lawrence High School Band, had decided to change the school band wouldn't appear in the parade.
The band had been scheduled to march in the parade.
"At the time, I stressed very carefully that this should be a family-type movie."
Bartley said that he was contacted about 25 days ago by the company and that he was told then the movie would be about a woman running for President.
