Commission to discuss eastside zoning request
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
A request to rezone about 600 lots in
A request to East Lawrence will be considered by the Lawrence City Commission during its meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow at City Hall. Commissioners are divided over the request.
Many people in East Lawrence, including the East Lawrence Improvement Association, have said the lots needed to be rezoned must not be a single-family rating would prohibit the building of such structures as apartment houses.
Other people, including many real estate agents and land developers, have said the lots should remain zoned as they were now with a mixture of multi-family, industrial and commercial ratings.
THE AREA in question includes about 600 lots that are generally between Rhode Island Street and the Santa Fe Railroad tracks from Ninth to Eleventh.
City Commissioner Nancy Shonz said that to deny the request would be an offense.
"The basis for single-family owner-
occupied housing would just be eroded
to the point where the neighborhood will be in chaos," she said. "What we want to do is to stabilize the neighborhood."
But City Commissioner Don Binnis said the rezoning request was too large.
"I don't believe in massive
tactical warfare but I feel
terrible, myself, to even consider it."
The resoning request has been on the minds of many East Lawrence residents since last spring, when a local real estate agent built two houses on one lot in the area, prompting concern among neighbors living near the lot.
They had not known that two houses could be built on one lot, and went to the improvement association for help. The association asked in June that the lots
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, which advises the City Commission, then instituted a law requiring requests of EastLawrence land.
BUT THEN the commission in September asked the Planning Commission to study the original rezoning request and make a recommendation.
The Planning Commission studied the request, but recommended that it be denied. The City Commission now will consider that recommendation.
Anthropology chairman to be named
The anthropology department should have a new chairman by the beginning of the semester, the acting chairman of the anthropology department said yesterday.
Acting chairman Robert Squier said the search committee had submitted its final report to Robert Lineberry, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Squier said the search had been an internal one from the start.
Lineberry said he planned to make his decision before Christmas.
He said that before making his choice, he would try to meet each candidate. His choice must be appropriate. He will vice-chancellor for academic affairs.
The anthropology department has been without a regular chairman since Anta Montet-White resigned at the end of the fall 1981 semester. Squier said she was in France on leave from the University.

THAT PROPOSAL will go back to the University advisory committee, headed by Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, for consideration. If approved, it will go to Budig, and then to the Kansas Board of Regents.
GENE A. ZUCKER The faculty's original motion, to name the building Stauffer Hall, automatically was reaffirmed.
The proposal to rename Flint Hall to Stauffer Hall first was made last spring and unanimously approved by the journalism faculty. From there, the College of Arts has appointed the That committee approved it and sent it on Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
Mel Adams, associate professor of journalism, said during the meeting that the issue was to decide between naming the hall after Leon Flint, a man who gave his life to teaching and who had little money, or after Stauffer.
Committee to continue plans of renaming hall
Brinkman described the matter as a "no-win situation, a dilemma that needs to be resolved." He added that he knew faculty members would have differing opinions on how to resolve the matter.

The faculty and student representatives of the William Allen White School of Journalism decided Friday to continue their attempt to rename the building Stauffer Hall.
The faculty voted 17-8 against naming the building Flint-Stauffer Hall, a compromise suggested by Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
At no time did Budig say that the compromise name of Flint-Stauer was the only option, Brinkman said. Budig also will not approve the hyphenated name if the faculty does not choose to do so.
The change would honor Oscar S. Stauffer, former chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents and one of the founders of the William Allen White Foundation. Stauffer's gift of $1 million to the School of Journalism in 1979 helped make possible the renovation of the hall.

The assistant found that, in 15 different letters, Dykes implied that the name of Flint Hall would be changed to Stauffer Hall after the renovation. The name change was not a stipulation on the gift, Brinkman said, and the Stauffer family did not request the change.

Over the summer, Brinkman said, opposition arose to the change and questions were raised about it in light of the new information.
Flint was a journalism instructor from 1906 to 1946 and during that time, Adams was one of his students. The building was named after Flint in 1952.
BUDIG THEN suggested the compromise and sent the proposal back to Cobb's committee, which sent it back to the committee of the School of Journalism.
