City OKs more mall money
By VALOREE ARMSTRONG
Staff writer
The Lawrence City Commission authorized city manager Buford Watson last night to spend another day on the job, reconvening of several suburban mall sites.
The city already has spent $25,000 in preparation for the Oct. 7 public school massacre. County Metropolitan Planning Commission will present its findings.
Commissioners passed the authorization with the understanding that all the money may not be needed if the county decides to contribute to the research. Of the three proposed mall sites, two are outside city limits.
Watson said that the additional money was necessary to do the job correctly. He said that the city had hired legal experts to assist in the research and would use expert witnesses and a court reporter during
the public hearing.
City Commissioner Sandra Praeger said that she agreed that the city should be prepared for the public hearing but expressed concern over the amount of money the city has already spent on the project.
In other actions:
Praeger tried to reduce the authorized amount to $15,000, but the amendment was denied.
other activities.
■ They commission unanimously approved a site plan for an expansion of Douglas County Bank, Ninth and Kentucky streets, which will add parking, a drive-through facility and a new office building.
The commission's approval ended a year-long debate on the bank's actions in the area that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The commission gave KU student Doug Barland until September. 30 to come up with the money to bring his newly
acquired house up to city code.
The house, 2815 Vermont St. was scheduled for demolition by Sept. 27, because the former owner, Barland's son, wanted to make the necessary improvements.
Barland, Lawrence senior, said,
"I'm a new owner — that's in the past."
Barlard presented several estimates for repairs that added up to less than $5,000 and said he hoped to do much of the work himself.
But commissioners were concerned that the extensive repairs the house needed would cost much more. The city is going to make its own estimates and Barland must have that amount in escrow or in bonds by Sept. 30 or the city will demolish the house.
- The commissioners set an Oct. 19 date for an initial meeting for the Eastern Parkway Task Force.
Club plans to fight world hunger
By BRIAN BARESCH

KU Students Against Hunger will collect food for hunger victims worldwide, and inform students about the hunger problem starting with "KU's War on Hunger," the group's president said at its first meeting last night.
"Students Against Hunger is the most important organization you'll ever be involved with," Steve Brown, Kansas City, Mo., junior, told the 24 students who attended the meeting. Brown said the group would join the Hunger Project, a worldwide organization, in fighting starvation.
"People are dying and I want to do
something about it," he said.
The Hunger Project has grown since its organization in 1977, and now has more than 5 million members, including celebrities such as actor Raul Julia and singer John Denver. Brown said.
Plans for the War on Hunger include collecting canned food, organizing a forum featuring a guest speaker, sponsoring a film festival, campaigning, and a balloon launch at Memorial Stadium.
Fifteen high schools in the Lawrence-Kansas City area would participate in the balloon launch, Brown said, adding that other ideas would probably come from other group members.
Brown said the events probably would take place during one week next spring. Among the possible guest speakers the group is considering are Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole and Sen. Nancy Kassebaum.
Also on the agenda is the Hunger Project's teleconference on Nov. 14 in Kansas City, Mo. The teleconference will be broadcast worldwide and will feature B gelofel, who organized the Live Aid and USA for Africa concerts.
Brown said he hoped the KU group could find merchant sponsors to defray the cost of attending the conference.
Students Against Hunger will work out its exact agenda in future meetings. Brown said. The group will meet again at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union.
"You need to be idealistic like you've never been before in this organization," Brown said.

The amount of milk a woman drinks during the first 20 years of her life may affect her chance of developing osteoporosis in the future. A recent study found that postmenopausal women who drank milk with every meal up until age 35 had significantly denser and stronger bones than those who rarely drank it. The researchers concluded that drinking calcium-rich milk early in life give a woman more bone mass to draw on when she reaches middle age.
