Tower tenants examine parking
Space problem during home basketball games concerns Association
By Christine Laue Kansan staff writer
Every KU home basketball game draws thousands of parking-space-hungry motorists. Many of these hunting motorists park at the Jayahawk Towers Apartments near Allen Field House. And Towers' residents often end up without any place to park.
"We get a lot of people complaining about this," said Suyani Liem, copresident of the Jayhawker Towers Tenants Association. "We hear about it constantly."
So the tenants association is taking action. The group will purchase special temporary stickers that will distinguish cars belonging to people living at the Towers and those of people living at residence halls.
The Towers lots, which have 567
parking spaces, allow people with any KU parking permit to park there 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. during the week. No permit is required from 5 p.m. on Fridays or on Mondays. Basketball games are played on weeknights and weekends.
Parking problems are not new to the Towers. Liem said. More than 200 people signed a petition last spring asking for extension of the restricted parking hours.
This year's officers in the association took the issue up again this fall by writing a letter to the parking department asking for its assistance in monitoring the lots. Parking officers told the association that the department already had budgeted this year's money but that the association could find a way to monitor the lots on its own.
The association also is looking into
hiring two or more parking monitors for game days. Charlene Engleking, manager of Jayhawker Towers Apartments, said the association had not determined whether student housing or the association would pay for the monitors. She also said she had received many complaints about parking on game days as well as on non-game days.
Rick Zikes, adviser of the association, said the association was considering getting parking permits allowing only Towers residents to park there during the restricted hours. The association plans to conduct surveys to see what residents would want if the parking restrictions were to change.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said the department had no plans to construct other parking lots in the Towers area.
Lawrence poet to give reading of new book
By J.R. Clairborne
By J.R. Clairborne Kansan staff writer
McCrary, Lawrence poet and former student at the University of Kansas, will be giving a public reading of his book of poetry at 8 tnight at the Lawrence Arts Center, 200 W. Ninth St. A reception will follow the reading.
Lovers of poetry will receive a special treat tonight when Jim McCraary celebrates the release of his new book "West of Mass."
Sponsored by the arts center, the reading is part of the literary series
that sponsors public readings by local writers. The series features one writer or group once a month.
"A good portion of the book is devoted to living in and around Lawrence," he said. "The rest of the book is about science."
Copies of the 40-poem collection will be on sale at the reading, which will feature an autograph session, McCrary said. He said the book was due in stores in two weeks.
The book is a collection of poems that California poet Robert Griener called "a long hard wail of Kansas Magic Realism." McCrary said the book's title was a play on the word "mass," with relation to Massachusetts Street and the study of physics.
such as chaos and perceptions of life, McCray said.
Published by the Tansy Press, a Lawrence publishing firm, the book contains poems about heroes of the West such as Doc Holiday, Billy the Kid and Belle Starr and also has poems addressing esoteric themes
"West of Mass" is McCray's fourth book published this year. His last work was "And/Or" is a collection of poems from his master's thesis. McCray received his master's in creative writing from California State University, Sonama.
Leslie Casson, educational program director at the arts center, said tonight's reading was something special for the series, especially because McCrary was such an advocate of the promotion of literary arts.
"It fits in well with our mission with improving the arts experience for as many people as possible, as well as providing support for local literary artists such as Jim McCraary," she said.
