Home sought for children
In the meantime, the girls, ages 10 to 14, are traveling from Topeka to Lawrence to school every morning.
The Wobblies were declared illegal by the late Hartley act in 1947, which is no longer valid.
"We thought it (the move to Lawrence) would be just a week or so after we started working."
"The reason we enrolled them in Lawrence was because we didn't want to move them from one school to another." Pat McPhail, the girls' housemother, said yesterday. McPhail and her husband Phil drive the girls from their Topeka Villages home to their schools in Lawrence every morning and nick them in every afternoon.
Burr has been looking for a temporary home for the children and their houseparents since the Villages' request to build on a permanent site near Lawrence was denied by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners August 13.
A temporary home is still being sought for eight teen-age girls and two adults who hoped to be the first residents of a Villages, Inc. home in Lawrence, according to Lance Burrell, local project director for the Villages.
The Wobblies propose a society where the workers have the most power in making the decisions concerning how their place of work is run. Cedervall said.
Cedervall said the Wobblies had little in politicians because the politicians can be elected.

The specter of an old-time union meeting, complete with a guitarist playing Joe Hill labor tunes, was revived by a soap-box speaker for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union last night.
Union leader summons workers
Frank Cederval, who for 45 years has been a member of the "Wobbles," as the IWW is also called, said the organization is once again increasing in membership after having fallen from influence in the 1920s. Although they only have 5,000 members, Cederval, said, they are getting 25 to 30 new students a month, many of them college students.
"We're not out to change the government but the economic system so the politician comes to the Unions and asks what they need." Cedervall said.

He said that the recent strikes by such groups as teachers and policemen were demonstrating that whole new segments of society were beginning to see themselves as laborers and creating a much larger union base in the country. Caterellau said that the attacks on businesses and businesses were the people who the Wobblies were triving to gain as members.
He said the potential power of the workers was demonstrated when the longhoremen refused to load wheat bound for the Soviet Union.
The requests for a conditional-use permit to build on the sites were denied because of protest petitions filed by landowners within 1,000 feet of the sites. The county commission voted 2-1 in favor of the most recent request, but commissioners thought a unanimous vote was required because of the protect petition.
The August request was the second request denied the Villages this year. The sites referred to in both requests are in the Pleasant Valley area southwest of the Villages were donated by Charles Oldfather, former University of Kansas attorney.
Children in the Villages' homes have been referred there by the Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services or by the courts, Burr said. He said the children being considered for the Douglas County home had no records of delinquency.
"The difference between the Wobblies and the new left is that it's easy for someone to strove stones at a police station but when it comes to changing conditions in the country you have to start organizing unions," be said.
The Wobblies are trying to organize in small businesses and factories to build up a base for a larger following later, Cederval said. He said that there were 63 million
The Wobblies aren't like the Communist party, Cederval said, because the Wobblies want the workers organized in a participatory democracy in an employees place of work rather than a centralized control by an elite.
Cedervall said the Wobbles weren't like the "new left", either.
workers in the country who didn't belong to any union and that many members of the AFL-CIO were dissatisfied with that union's leadership.
"All we're offering is an idea," Cedervall say.
"We have the program. We need all the people.
"I'm not a dogmatic person," Cedervall said, "Ask me if our program is going to work and I say I don't know, but after a few years I will be able to be the most rational approach to me."
Cedervall said that along with himself there were 100 other old-time members of the Wobblies who have come out of the organization, new members to rebuild the organization.
Fifteen people attended the meeting.
Villages representatives, however, think a unanimous vote isn't necessary.
They have filed a suit against the county commission charging that a unanimous vote was unnecessary and that the committee request was "un arbitrary and capricious."
Sherlyn Sampson, clerk of the district court, said she assigned the case to District Court.
Burr said he and the commission were working on a legal agreement on the facts of the case so that the court could rule on the case without a trial. He said the ruling probably wouldn't be made for another month.
Stephen Rhudy, attorney for the Pleasant Valley landowners, has said the landowners feared that the children who would live in the homes would be disruptive.
McPhail said the girls were aware of the protest petition.
"They felt pretty bad at first that people would think they were capable of that kind of behavior," she said. "But the girls have feelings for the people who live there and understand they don't know us. They're pretty open-minded kids.
"They're hoping that by their good behavior in school they can prove to the community of Lawrence that they are good kids," she said.
Burr said he was looking for a home of 2,500 square feet where the 10 could live while the dispute over the site is being settled. He said he was having trouble finding a suitable building, but residents of the neighborhoods he had considered had been receptive to the possibility of the children's living there.

Equivalency
tities budget for 1975-76 would be $800,000 short.
Dyck said that the fall "head count" for the Lawrence campus was 21,738. The head count was converted to FTE by eliminating religion and ROTC courses. Then an FTE counted for every 18 undergraduate and nine graduate hours of enrollment, he said.
--you're going to have damage. You take a pet and put it in an apartment, and it only takes one day.
The official enrollment figures were collected on the 20th day of classes, he said, to account for late enrollment and dropped classes. The official enrollment classes should be released today, he said.
This fall's smaller ratio of FTE to total students may indicate that more non-traditional students, such as housewives and attending the University for a few hours.

"It costs $350 to $600 to recapret an apartment," he said. "I don't make it up at
Bernie Kennedy, resident manager of Park 25 Apartments, estimated that 20 per cent of his tenants had cats and dogs. He said he required a half month's rent as a pet deposit. He said he didn't allow dogs that were more than 18 inches to the top of the head.
He said he required pet owners to put their animals on a charge and charged an annual $750 a month for cleaning.
Despite these additional charges, he said he didn't come out ahead financially.
Cory Brinkerhoff, clerk at Petstep, said that fish were the most popular animals kept in Lawrence. He said he didn't know any place, including the residence halls, that had restrictions prohibiting aquariuming.
"We're only concerned with the four
less concerned." "We're not
concerned with fish or bait."
Brinkerhoff said that birds were next in popularity, followed by hamsters and rats.

"Most of the time it is a mistake for a student to get a dog," he said. "The dogs are poorly trained because the student is never at home. There are students who take good care of their dogs, but they are the exception rather than the rule."
Most students keep mixed breed dogs get from someone who is trying to give them away.

purered dogs, but most students were unable to afford registered dogs.
"Dogs have to be taught manners," she said. "The period from two to eight months is the most critical. If you start (training) at six weeks, you can be every bit as good as a small dog."
Retke said that much of the destruction blamed on dogs was really the people'们的 fault. She said people wouldn't think of leaving a two-year-old child at home all day, but they expect their dog to stay home alone and not to get into things.
she said it was silly for a student planning to go to Europe after graduation to get a job.
However, Dyck said the number of fresh-
ness expected to have increased by 200 to a total of 100.
Dru Rahman, Shawnee Mission junior,
said a dog wasn't something you could just leave in the closet. He said he had an eight-month-old dog and that he had no problems with it. But he said he tried never to leave it at home for more than five hours at a time.
