Sizeler starts plans for redevelopment
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
Lawrence Mayor Marci Francisco and the president of Sizelar Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La., yesterday signed a memorandum of agreement for the proposed downtown redevelopment project.
Sizeler's president, Tom Davidson, said he would be in Lawrence again Nov. 11 to discuss the work of the area residents at a public meeting.
Davidson said his firm was not deterred by the present economic situation.
"I think we have what amounts to a long-term project," he said.
"From start to finish, we'll probably go through a couple of economic changes in our people are ready to get started on the project and move forward."
The Nov. 11 public meeting is one of two required by the agreement.
ONE PROVISION of the agreement is that Sizerel use local labor and services, and purchase its materials here when possible.
Davidson said that Sizeeler would try to do that, but he also said that such decisions would depend on
local firms being competitively priced.
Local financing of the project is another possibility, but the amount of local financing used will depend on how many participants to participate in the project, he said.
Davidson, who arrived in Lawrence Wednesday, said he would have talked with representatives of four local banks by the end of today.
THE AGREEMENT also states that Sizerel is to submit to the city a formal proposal for the redevelopment project by March 4, 1983.
The proposal is to include a basic project design, an initial financing plan and a preliminary timetable leading up to construction.
The proposal also must outline the location of parking for the redevelopment, traffic patterns, any necessities, and design of the building design and character of the project.
The development project probably will include three department stores, he said, but so far Sizeler's contacts with department stores about the project have been only preliminary.
"WE WILL probably want to develop a plan that will be acceptable to the city before we talk to the department stores," he said.
Semi-yearly review requested

Regents want new plan for fee increases
A Kansas Board of Regents committee recommended yesterday that fee increases at all Regents schools be divided into two different categories and brought before the board twice a year.
Grege Smith Jr., chairman of the Greges special committee on student tuition, said the committee had recommended scheduling reviews of proposed academic fee increases in April and decisions in May; academic fee increases would be reviewed in October and finalized in November.
Administrative fees are transcript charges and health fees. Academic fees are lab fees and other course-related costs.
Keith Nilcher, University director of business affairs, said the recommendations would conform with current budget procedures because the Regents schools had to submit their budget following fiscal year on June 1, he said.
THE REGENTS could start using the new fee increase schedule this May.
However Nitcher said, "There would have to be enough lead time between the request deadline and the approval of the fee increases."
ACADEMIC FEES are charged to students along with tuition and are not reflected in the schools' budget requests, he said.
proved by May, were the only fees that affected the budget requests, he said.
Smith, also chairman of the budget and finance committee, said that the committee unanimously recommended the changes.
"There is no question that the changes won't be adopted by the Regents," he said. "This will bring the system into order."
A comprehensive look at the Regents system would be the result of the adoption of these measures, Smith said. The Regents currently consider increases whenever schools request them.
The administrative fee increases, which would be approved or disap-

mended by the committee would allow students to plan for fee increases. With the current system, changes are made anytime during the school year.
The Regents' concern about fee increases arose at last month's budget meeting in Pittsburgh when Kansas State University requested the committee's approval on a number of fee increases.
K-State tabled its requests to allow the student tuition committee time to recommend changes to the Regents on the current fee increase policy.
Smith said that the changes recom-

THE STUDENT tuition committee also considered differential fee charging and variable-rate tuition. These are methods for charging different tuition based on a university's costs for participation or for different academic levels.
"We did not get into these in any depth, though," Smith said.
He said that the committee probably would consider the tuition changes at a later meeting.
