StudEx votes against computer
By ANDREW deVALPINE Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The Student Senate Executive Committee voted unanimously against buying a computer system in their last session of the summer semester July 31.
In the same vote they agreed to continue exploring the most cost-effective way to obtain access to word processing for the Senate.
The vote took place after a Senate fund allocation misunderstanding in June by Matt Gatewood, student body treasurer, according to student officials. Money for the computer could have come from the Senate's unallocated account of funds left over from past election. The Senate could not spend more than $180 from the budget without first submitting a proposal to the administration.
DAVID ADKINS, student body president, said, "I think the new treasurer and the new administrative assistant didn't quite understand the procedure to take $150 from the unallocated account."
In his July 31 report to StudEx concerning Senate computer needs, Gatewood said that, although he had earlier recommended the purchase of a computer system, he no longer thought the needs of the Senate warranted the expenditure necessary for a computer system.
The issue of buying a computer had arisen at the June 26 StudEx meeting when Gatewood recommended the purchase of a $7,140 IBM computer system from Computerland in Lawrence. He also recommended that the committee buy the service contract at an annual cost of $326.
But David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said last month that state and University procedures regulated the spending of public money.
StudEx had to specify what it wanted the computer to do, Amber said. Then businesses that could provide those specifications would submit bids.
At the July 31 meeting, Gatewood two reasons for deciding against bayer's expansion.
Also, the Senate might be able to use the University's administrative computer, he said.
First, a revision in the manual accounting process of Senate allocations and funds resulted in a more detailed and efficient method, he said.
Gatewood also submitted two options other than purchasing a computer. The Senate could buy a mini-computer system, at an approximate cost of $7,975 plus a service contract for $400. The Senate could buy equipment to go on line with the University, for $3,350 a month with a service contract for $16 a month.
Football hosts, hostesses help recruit
By WINIFRED STUCKER Staff Reporter
If you can't kick, run or even catch a football, there's still a chance for you to become a part of this year's KU football team, according to team officials.
This fall, 25 men and women students will become team hosts and hostesses. The program, beginning its fourth year, is essential to the recruiting effort of the coaches, said Head Coach Don Fambrough.
The students, all volunteers, help the coaches answer questions posed by recruits and their parents about university life.
"WE FEEL OUR recruiting program has been very successful in the last quarter."
our organization of men and women who volunteer their time to help recruit young players." Fambrough said.
The group is chosen through a series of interviews conducted by the athletic department, said Dick Purdy, recruiting administrator and director of the host program.
"The interviews are tentatively scheduled for the 25th through 27th of August. We are looking for men and women who are willing to devote their time, who present themselves well and easily as well as people," Purdy said.
"The program gives the men and women an opportunity to become involved with the football program, gives them experience in meeting and talking with people of varying ages from all over the country, and gives them one
Cindy Overfield, a former hostess, said, "I enjoyed working with the coaches and kids because I met a lot of people and they were all basically very smart. I was able to tell people about KU and set them on the idea of coming here to school."
Selling people on the idea of coming here to school is but one aspect of the duties of the host and hostesses, accorded to Rich Rachel, defensive back coach.
"Sure, they promote the school, but they also act as tour guides for the recruits and their parents while on campus, as a general information service for answering questions and essentially provide a different point of view than the recruit gets from coaches about being a student on this campus."

Downtown developers interviewed
By BRET WALLACE Staff Reporter
The Lawrence Downtown Improvement Committee mads another step toward the construction of a downtown mall last week when they interviewed eight developers interested in the project.
The next step for the 14-member committee will be to decide which developer to recommend to the city who will then make the final decision.
After the city commission makes its decision, the city and the developer will sign an agreement outlining a plan which the city must approve before the two parties sign a final contract.
"WE HOPE TO be able to make a recommendation by the first of September," said Pete Whitentight, the representative on the committee.
Whitenight said the committee was looking for several different things in the interviews, which were conducted on Aug. 11, 12 and 13.
"The most important thing we were looking for was a strong sensitivity to the existing environment downlow Lawrence," Whiteight said.
Said Mayor Marci Francisco: "We are happy with our downtown now, we just want to expand on it."
KEN TUCKER, president of Ken Tucker & Associates, one of the groups interviewing for the job, said "My first reaction while walking down Massachusetts Avenue was 'Why do you need a development?'
Many of the developers commented on the beauty of downtown Lawrence and were interested in finding ways to build a climate-controlled shopping mall that would not detract from the existing area.
Most of the developers thought it would be more likely to get two major department stores, because one major store would be reluctant to move in and take a chance on two high-end retailers out of business by locating in a "cornfield" mall on the outskirts of Lawrence.
Another concern of the committee was whether the developer would be able to get a major department store interested in coming to Lawrence.
Bob Wright, president and chief architect for Two Crowns, Inc., said the choice to open a major department would be difficult to store, because backers would not be talked into going somewhere they felt did not have the market.
The committee was also concerned with whether the project could be done in phases.
SEVERAL OF THE developers gave this as the reason fo. not being able to promise to attract a department store, plus they said major developers about a site until they become developers about a site until they become the developer of record.
Francisco said, "There has been a lot of agreement locally on phase development."
The committee was also concerned with financing the project. They wanted to know whether the developer had worked with the new tax laws and federal programs that help cities to improve, and what the companies were willing to mall after it was built. Most of the developers wanted to retain ownership, or at least majority interest, in the mall after it was built.
However, some of the developers were not in favor of phase development. One of the arguments against it was that it allowed time for competition to move in against the new mall.
WHITENIGHT SAID several of the eight developers stood out as possible choices.
