City will fund 5 key areas with sales tax dividends
By VALOREE ARMSTRONG Staff writer
and numerous Dan Watkins, speaking for several human service agencies including the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 336 Missouri St., said that many needy groups had suffered cutbacks in money without a decreased need for services.
The Lawrence City Commission agreed last night on five areas that it will finance with its share of a 1-cent sales tax proposed by the county.
Public safety improvements will be funded by 10 percent of the revenue. The city plans to enlarge both the police and fire departments.
"We could spend that money and really make a difference in the community," Watkins said.
The commissioners voted to allocate 10 percent of the money for arts, humanities and historic preservation and 20 percent for social services.
During the 90-minute public hearing, 10 Lawrence citizens spoke, praising the city's support of the arts and human service programs.
An additional 30 percent of the money from the tax is designated for
street maintenance and improvement projects, and 30 percent will be spent on drainage projects.
If passed by Lawrence voters, the plan will be reviewed by the commission in five years.
Commissioner Sandra Praeger said the city needed a balanced program to present to voters that the city would need for increased property taxes.
Jeanne Ellermeier, 2529 Arkansas St., lives near the complex. She said that Colony Woods officials had been informed of the need for a permit before they added the parking spaces, but had continued with their plans anyway.
"We've got to sell this to the community," Praeger said.
In other action, the commission tabled action on a revised site plan for Colony Woods apartments, 1301 W. 24th St., because of concern about possible landscaping and flood plain problems.
"I think that we little property owners have as much right not to be inconvenienced as anybody else." If she wouldn't be able to break the laws, "we
Because of parking problems at the apartments, which occurred during the first week of classes at the University of Kansas, Colony Woods officials added 94 parking spaces without prior approval from the city. Colony Woods is home to almost 900 KU students.
Ed Callister, representative for Colony Woods, said he had tried to work with the city to finish the

landscaping but had received no response. "Whatever you want, we'll do." Callister said.
The commission will reconsider parking and landscaping at Colony Woods next week.
When Praeger asked why Colony Woods' works, Randall Davis, had put in the parking without amending the site plan beforehand, Callister said that he hadn't known of Davis' plans.
Sorority houses run out of room; women go to Jayhawker Towers
By BEN JOHNSTON
Staff writer
About 140 women from seven KU sororites are living in Jayhawker Towers apartments this semester because large pledge classes last year have left the sorority houses without enough space.
Marilyn Schroeder, manager of Jayhawk Towers, 1603 W. 15th St., said that in past years only a handful of fraternity and sorority members had lived at Jayhawk Towers.
a taste of sorority life."
"This is the first year we have had that quantity." Schroeder said.
"I think it's good for their organizations," Kaiser said. "It helps keep their group together and gives them
Danny Kaiser, coordinator for greek programs at KU, said having sorority members live at Jayhawker would be good way to absorb the largeplee classes.
But one fraternity that had members living at Jayhawker Towers last year added space to its house for this year.
"Pi Kappa Alpha built an addition that roughly doubled their capacity," Kaiser said. "There is a possibility that some houses may build an addition. I have not heard that there are any groups that have announced official plans, but Delta Chi, a fraternity, may be doing something next year. As far as I know, no sororites have plans to make changes."
Schroeder said that the 37 apartments in Jayhawker Towers where the sorority members were living had recently been remodeled.
Marcy Neal, Junction City sophomore, said that her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, 1500 Sigma Nu Place, had 21 women living in about seven apartments in Jayhawk Tower.
in."
"They did a lot with Tower B," Schroeder said. "There has been quite a bit of interior improvement. For one thing, new lighting was put
"Personally, I like it because I like being with members of my sorority." Neal said. "I don't feel that I am as comfortable with own and distant from the house."
Neal said that she did not pay housing fees to the sorority, but did pay $205 rent for her apartment. She said she paid other fees to the sorority, such as $15 a week to eat at the sorority house every Monday night.
"The fees are different for each person," Neal said. "There are extra fees if you are newly initiated."
Film series will feature rare movies
By BRIAN PARESCH Staff writer
The Spencer Museum of Art's new Documentary Film Series will bring interesting and unusual films to campus that would not otherwise be available through Student Union Activities or local video rentals, said the series' creator.
Tom Southell, curator of photography at the museum, said he had the idea for the series when he saw a film produced by Robert Frank, "Me and My Brother," in Houston last summer.
"I said, 'This is crazy that Lawrence doesn't get to see these films.'" he said.
The free series starts tomorrow with "Spanish Earth," a 1937 appeal in behalf of the loyalists during the Spanish Civil War, which is narrated by Ernest Hemingway and "Living at Risk," a 1965 film directed by Alfred Guzzetti, Richard Rogers and Susan Meiselas.
Meiselsa' photographs from Latin America were on display at the museum last spring, and she also spoke there during the showing.
"Spanish Earth" and "Living at Risk" will be shown at 3 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday in Spencer's auditorium.
The one thing that the films in the series have in common, Southall said, is that they are all unusual or rare documentaries.
Southall was at first planning to include "Me and My Brother" in the series, but the River City Reunion showed it and other Frank films last week. Instead, Frank's autobiographical "Life Dances On" will be shown, November 5 and 8, along with Werner Herzog's "God's Angry Man," which is about TV evangelist Gene Scott.
On October 1 and 4, the series will feature "Grey Gardens," a 1975 look at some of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' relatives who were living in a littered, decaying Long Island house; and "In the Street," a short look at urban Manhattan kids who play, fight and perform in the street.
October 15 and 18, "Package Tour," from Hungary, and "Night and Fog," from France, both dealing with the Holocaust, will be shown.
