Heating problems left in the cold
By THERESE MENDENHALL
Some Lawrence families will be able to have heating problems out in the cold this winter. They will be home repair project sponsored by the East Central Technical Community Action Bureau (ETAC).
A contract granting ECKAN $60,000 from the city for the project was presented yesterday to the Lawrence City Commission by Kyle Andregg, city-community
development director and Greg Stock,
ECRAN will the commission will vote
Stock said the winterization project would begin Oct. 18, with a "Winterization Day." The organizations had volunteered to help with the winterization and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and the local Plumbers and Steamfitters Union. He said they are not in charge of ECKAN board of directors also would help.
The contract between ECKAN and the
city states that houses to be winterized must be single-family homes within the city limits. Persons who apply for the assistance must be both the owner and the occupant of a building or the household of one person will be $240 a month and $60 a month will be allowed for each additional person. The contract said the house could be given to the elderly and handicapped.
Stock said the volunteers would install storm windows, calking, weather stripping

Future historians will view today's space exploration as historians now view the explorations of Columbus, Lewis McKinley, associate professor of history, said yesterday.
Norris Hetherington, assistant professor of history, said that exploration during the time of Columbus didn't demand as much tuition or money as space exploration.
MKINNEN SAID THE space astronauts were in a different situation than early man.
McKinney said it was difficult for people living today to understand the importance of space exploration. He said Apollo 11, the first space module to land on the moon, took man to a new new world, not just a new country as Columbus explored.
HE SAID EXPLORATION of the oceans and outspace space was inevitable because of the new technology.
"I have to agree with many of the science fiction writers and others," McKinney said. "It is our destiny to search out other worlds and to meet other forms of life."
Columbus had the idea that he could get to the East by going in the opposite direction travelers had been going, McKinney said. That was his idea and Columbus executed his own plan. Astronauts are executing plans conceived by others.
McKinney said astronauts were still a valuable part of the exploration of the universe. He said he thought the space program was as much as Columbus risked his life.
McKinney said there would be more great explorations in the future.
He said motivation for early explorers included a search for knowledge and, for some explorers, a desire for glory. Some explorers, such as Columbus, really thought their ideas were correct and wanted to prove these ideas, he said.
Hetherington said most of these reasons for exploration still exist.
In 1958 when Dwight Eisenhower proposed the creation of what was to become the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the program was justified on the grounds of new opportunities for scientific observation, military defense, national prestige and man's urge to explore, Hetherington said.
McKINNEY SAID THE motivation for exploring was a central theme for his course, which he has taught since 1970.
"We also want the student to experience as much as possible what the explorer was doing."
To accomplish this, many of the reading assignments for the class are from the journals of the explorers. The class, which was last taught in January, includes a semester, also watches many films.
The money ECKAN requested is part of the city's community development grant, which is a federal grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
One of the films is Capt. Robert Scott's 1972 expedition to the South Pole, McKinney
Andregg said the city would still have $110,000 in the housing rehabilitation section of the community development budget if $50,000 was given to ECKAN.

Using a grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity ECKAN has winterized about 80 homes for about $100 each since the beginning of the project in February. At least 50 more homes will be built in January. The project began in January because no more than $1,000 of the $80,000 from the city development fund can be spent on any house.
THE $10,000 WILL BE used to hire people to repair houses. The work will be considered vocational training in home repair. The students will receive $160 for two weeks' work.
ECKAN is also seeking funds for housing rehabilitation from the county community development grant. Stock said, Douglas Gunnigan, a professor at Illinois Institute for $80,000 for housing rehabilitation.
