Skyline of KU to lose stack in the spring
By KIRK KAHLER
Staff writer
KU's 257-foot smokestack will be demolished and replaced with two 15-foot smokestacks in the spring, the University director of facilities planning said yesterday.
Allen Wiechert, the director, said the smokestack, which is behind Stauffer-Flint Hall, could be torn down in April or sooner.
"It all depends on the heating need," he said.
The smokestack has been operating at the University since 1921 and is used to discharge residue from the burning oil or natural gas fuel used to create steam in the power plant's boilers.
At the end of the winter heating season, two boilers
at the winter rupture will be modified for the

KUEA reports drop in contributions, increase in donors
Contributions to the Kansas University Endowment Association decreased by about 4 percent in the 1985-86 fiscal year, but the number of donors, money allocated for scholarships and investment income increased significantly.
According to the Endowment Association's annual report, released yesterday, 32.326 donors contributed $13.4 million to the Endowment Association to support the University. This figure is down from $13.9 million contributed by 30,000 donors in 1984-95.

amendment and 49.2 percent favored it
However, Seymour said he was concerned that the tax reform law that President Reagan signed recently, in addition to the state of the Kansas economy, would discourage possible donors.
Gary Toebben, executive vice president of the Lawrence chamber of Commerce, said, "It's a whole new group of voters. Anyone younger than 35 never had a chance to vote on it the first time."
The liquor by the drink amendment is an amendment to the state constitution that would allow the serving of liquor in public places that receive at least 30 percent of their income from food sales.
It also would allow liquor to be served in public places that have received temporary permits for events such as conventions and fundraisers.
The law would take effect only if it received a majority of favor-

drives, he said.
Even if the amendment passes, John Lamb, director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control in Topeka, said liquor by the drink probably would not take effect until July 1, 1987. He said the Kansas Legislature first would have to pass laws for the amendment to take effect.

"From a future standpoint, these modest donations are a key factor." Seymour said. "It gets people into the habit of giving, and these people will probably give more later, when they are able."
a liquor-by-the-drink vote in dry counties, in wet counties that wanted to go dry or in wet counties which sought to remove the 30 percent food requirement, Lamb said.
A vote against the proposed amendment would continue the current prohibition against liquor by the drink in public places, according to the explanatory statement on the ballot.
At any future general election, the Legislature might authorize
Lamb said the proposed amendment wouldn't eliminate private clubs because of the 30 percent food requirement.
Lamb said the amendment also provided for future changes in lorign laws.
"One advantage," said Lamb,
"is that when you go out to supper clubs you won't need a club card."
The Alcoholic Beverage Control is neutral on the amendment issue. Lamb said.
The Rev. Richard Taylor, president of Kansans for Life at Its Best, opposes passage of the amendment.
"If I vote yes, I'm voting for death and injury," Taylor said.
Taylor said Kansans couldn'tprevent people from drinking alcoholic beverages in private clubs and in their homes, but by voting against the amendment they could prevent its consumption in public places.
"Fifty percent of the nation's highway fatalities are alcohol-related," he said, "In 1965, only 31 percent of Kansas highway fatalities were alcohol related."
Lamb said he didn't think passage of the liquor-by-the-drink amendment would cause increased highway injuries and fatalities.
"There are too many other factors involved," Lamb said. "I don't think the passage of this amendment will be a factor one way or the other."
Proponents of the amendment
argue that it would help the state's economy.
"The principal economic factor is associated with the hospitality industry." Toebbeng said.
The hospitality industry, which includes hotels and restaurants, is much more inclined to invest in a state that has liquor by the drink. Toebben said.
"Most everyone recognizes that the majority of the good restaurants in Kansas City are on the Missouri side." Toebben said, "and there is a reason for that."
"That is a big lie," he said.
Taylor said Kansas' present liquor laws didn't hurt the state's economy.
