Construction hampers drainage
Runoff from Mount Oread floods some parts of city
By JOHN BENNER

During rain storms, Eleanor Woodyard, 2204 Alabama SL., sometimes has to keep an eye out for people to keep them from hurting themselves in the street near her house.
When the sewers fill, she said,
the manhole cover pops off and
the exposed hole could be dangerous to
pedestrians and motorists.
Woodyard said the water, which has gotten as high as eight inches in the street, didn't keep motorists off the road.
"People don't stop driving here," she said. "They just drive faster."
Flooding in the neighborhoods south of Mount Oread, on Naismith Drive and on 23rd Street results from KU construction and other building in Lawrence, say Woodyard, other residents and city officials.
In 1983, Lawrence added an ordinance to the city code that was designed to ease flooding in the city, said Terese Gardner, city engineer.
Gardner said the ordinance required new city construction projects to detain water to keep it from draining any faster than it drained before the construction.
However, because the city considers University property beyond its jurisdiction, KU construction has continued without detaining excess flood water, said Price Banks, city planning director.
Gardner also cited runoff from private construction projects on land south of Mount Oread and construction on campus for backing up storm water on Naismith Drive and on 23rd Street.

She said water flowing off Mount Oread to the south was responsible for the collapse of two roads and the weakening of two others that cross Naismith Drive between 19th and 23rd streets. The city recently allocated more than $400,000 for repairs of the street and of a broken water main in the area.
"The ordinance requiring water detention is a relatively new policy," Gardner said. "We feel the University needs to incorporate detention into new projects
"We also need to do that in the rest of the city. The University is not 100 percent to blame."

KU has not yet felt state budget pinch, some officials say
By TONY BALANDRAN
"We haven't felt any financial or physical effects yet." Ward Brian Zimmerman, KU budget director, said yesterday.
Although state budget officials are working during a transition period between governors with a projected budget deficit of $13 million, KU officials said earlier this week that the University's budget had not yet experienced cutbacks.

Stotts said he hoped the division would respond to the University by next week, at which time the University would schedule a hearing before Gov. John Carlin and his staff Hayden probably would be present at the meeting.
Fambrough, now a field representative for Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, was contacted by telephone yesterday in Stockton on the first leg of a two-day tour of western Kansas.
Former KU football coach Don Fambrough confirmed yesterday that some players during his tenure had used drugs but denied a former player's accusation that he had ignored the problem.
Fambrough said some players on the team had used various drugs while he was head coach, from 1979 to 2005. He informed that the problem was widespread.
"We have not made a recommendation yet," he said. "Hopefully, we will get all of that ironed out soon."
"I'm not trying to deny that while I was there we didn't have those problems, because we did," he said. "I was not so much aware of (cocaine) as I was of other things, but yes, we had some dru-related problems.
"We will look at (the KU budget) of course, while considering the financial condition of the state."
Zimmerman said the Budget Division would recommend to the governor the amounts that were feasible in terms of the resources available
One area in which the Regents did not suggest a change was the 8 percent increase the University is seeking for unclassified salaries, which include faculty members. Zimmerman said.
"They were taken care of on an individual basis. In some cases players were dismissed, in other cases they were given a second chance."
years.
The University, in its tentative budget, requested $7,548.732 for 18 new and improved programs during fiscal year 1968, the 1967-68 academic year, he said. The Regents reduced that by almost 59 percent, authorizing the University to seek $3,113.993 for creating only eight programs.
Each year the University presents its request to the division and "where we agree, we thank them and where we disagree. We also request the governor," Zimmerman said.

selling literature and buttons to benefit the Pathfinder Bookstore, a socialist bookstore in Kansas City, Mo.
Hunter noted that in the Kansas City Times story, three players who played under Fambrough insisted there might have been isolated cases of drug usage, but not a severe problem.
"To be accused of overlooking something like that, well, it really hurts," Fambrough said. "When I see him, I intend to let him know how I feel."
Overall, the Regents allowed the University to seek a total general use fund of $125,301.974 for fiscal year 1988, he said.
But they did not know they were violating a KU guideline The University Events Committee prohibits selling on campus unless the activity or event benefits the University community and is under the sponsorship of a registered organization or

"That is still our official request to the Board of Regents," he said.
In the main entrance of the Kansas Union, they covered an olive-colored card table with socialist literature and a colorful display of buttons urging the release of Nelson Mandela, leader of the African National Con-
Before the KU budget was sent to the Budget Division, the Board of Regents requested KU to make several adjustments. One of the requests concerned the money budgeted for new and improved programs.

Students filed past the cluttered table, and some of them stopped to hear Jeff Powers' pitch.
"Hey, how about a copy of the Militant, the largest-selling weekly newspaper of the socialist movement? Only 75 cents." Powers told a group of people standing by the table.
Bland said he did not know about the University policy and called it undemocratic.
