Elks citation not political official says
The issuance of a citation for alleged liquor pool violations at the Elks Lodge, 3705 W. 23rd St., wasn't politically motivated, a state Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) official said yesterday.
The official, E. V. D. Murphy, director of the ABC, said he wasn't told to begin an investigation into an alleged cash bar at a reception for alumni of the University of Kansas School of Law Oct. 16. He said he acted on his own after reading about the reception in newspapers.
"I didn't even know anything about it until I saw it in the papers," Murphy said.
HE WAS REFERRING to the publicized exchange of memos between Kansas Atty. Gen. Curt Schneider and Gov. Robert Bennett last week concerning gambling in state agencies and Bennett's attendance at the law school function.
"I've never spoken on the phone or anywhere else with the attorney general or the governor about this, before or since," Murphy said.
"The fact is that an alleged violation took place in our office of like I would have any rumor or conspiracy."
A hearing on the citation is scheduled for Nov. 17, Murphy said. He will then decide whether the citation was justified and will determine disciplinary action.
DISCIPLINARY ACTION could range from a temporary suspension to a revocation of the club's license, Murphy said.
Martin Dickinson, dean of the KU law school, said he had checked with the officers that Mr. Hunt was a potential victim of the reception and was convinced that they weren't responsible for any violations.
However, the incident probably will "cost them (the Elks Club) a lot of money." Murphy said, because of lost revenue during any time the club be missed.
"But it probably won't be a revocation," he said. "but that big a debate. This is just a misunderstanding."
IF THERE WERE any violations,
Dellaodon said, "it obviously arists with the Elks Cake."
"Last year, the third-year class in the law school requested and obtained from the office of Atyn. Genu. Schneider guidelines on how an affair of this kind could be properly held in compliance with Kansas law," said Jillian Frost, a professor of officers and people involved from the third-year law class and they did everything they could to comply with those guidelines."
"It's their responsibility and it isn't something that the law school senior class or anyone else but the Elks Club would be involved with."
Chris Kirkwood, Lodge Lodge manager,
the citation and would have no complaint.
The citation was sent yesterday by registered mail and probably will arrive in time.

Starting date to be moved
Spring enrollment will be moved up a week starting in 1978 when the University of Kansas complies with a Kansas Board of Regents policy of common starting and ending semester dates among Regents' schools.
However, this spring's enrollment, to begin Jan. 19, wouldn't be affected.
KU has violated a Regents' policy for a common calendar of starting and ending dates and holidays, which was adopted in 1973.
It wasn't until last month that the Regents pointed out to KU administrators that KU's spring classes started three days later than the other Regents' schools. While students from other schools attended their first three weeks of classes, KU students have been enrolling.
Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said yesterday that, "In future years we need to adjust our calendar it's. It's Regent policy, and we will comply."
ROBERT HMOLTZ, chairman of the University Senate calendar committee, said that a misunderstanding had caused the KU system to fall line with the common Regents' calendar.
There will be no attempt to change KU's spring 1977 calendar, he said, because the discrepancy was just recently cited by the university and the calendar has already been published.
"When enrollment was Wednesday through Friday, we worked over the weekend to get the roster together for Monday (the first day of class). If we have to enroll on Monday and Tuesday, there is no time to process the enrollment," he said.
KU's classes usually start on a Monday with enrollment the last three days of the preceding work week. The Regents' calendar calls for classes to begin on a Monday in the fall but on a Wednesday in the spring.
A SWITCH TO A Wednesday as the first classes would cause problems, Urbizto. Urbizto.
Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said that the obvious way to handle the problem was to enroll during the previous week before the Regents say classes should begin.
Therefore, students might enroll Wednesday through Friday, and then have the following week off.
The committee will have to discuss ways to adjust to the calendar in the spring season.
because classes wouldn't begin until the following Wednesday.
Finishing dates and holidays at KU are in compliance with the Regens' calendar.
JOE MCFARLAND, academic officer for the Board of Regents, said a common requirement is that Regents' schools more convenient, unified the student-teaching schedules among schools, made classroom time more efficient, and conern that the schools' schedules coincide.
He said he didn't know any particular reason why the spring semester was scheduled to begin on a Wednesday. The fall ending and spring starting dates are scheduled around the Christmas holidays, he said.
ALTHOUGH THE COMMON calendar restricts the length of the semester, McFarland said, there is also some flexibility in selecting the length of the finals period isn't dictated.
Calgaard said that although pre-enrolment could be a solution, no definite plans had been made about schoolwide enrolment at KU. Freshman and some Regents already pre-enrol at KU. All other Regents' schools have pre-enrolment.
City relocates parking for 2 frats

Members of two University of Kansas fraternities must park their cars in new locations as a result of action last night by city commissioners.
Commissioners voted to remove 24 parking spaces from the 1600 block of Edgehill Road adjacent to the Phil Delta Theta and Kipappa Sigma fraternities. The removal came at the urging of firemen, who said they wouldn't be able to fit one of their large trucks into the space by the Edgehill curb if a fire broke out.
The fraternity members, however, will be able to park on the east side of Louisiana Street for at least 90 days. The commissioners decided to have police issue a temporary permit to allow parking on the west side of Louisiana Street for parking, and to decide during a trial 90-day period whether traffic would be affected by the extra parking.
GEORGE WILLIAMS, director of public works, said that allowing parking on the east side of Louisiana Street would create 30 new parking spaces and fraternize a net gain in parking.

Commissioner Marinie Argeringer said that the city would vigorously enforce the new regulations because "those kids should realize that safety is more important than parking. If we don't enforce, it'll be parked solid."
The commissioners also authorized Buford Watson, city manager, to investigate the possibility of a city contract with Baldwin City for Clinton Reservoir. The state has last summer and has purchased water from Lawrence on an emergency basis.

In other action, commissioners increased the sanitary sewer "hook-on" fee from $400 to $1,000. The fee applies to people who live in districts that hook onto the district's lines.
The commissioners also approved appraisal reports on several street improvements financed through benefit districts, and they gave permission to Chutes, a fast food restaurant, to build a drive-in at 23rd and Oudahl streets.

Williams said that the fee increase was long overdue because it wasn't fair for residents in the district to pay more than $19,000 per month and who use the hook-on paid only $400.
Parking lot construction resumes at Linwood Center
Max Lucas, University director of facilities planning, said yesterday the decision was made because the University had gone through all proper legal procedures to buy the land and to start construction.
Construction resumed Monday on expansion of a parking lot at KU's Limwood Center, Overland Park, after the Johnson fire. The fire was to allow the continuation of construction.
Three weeks ago, about 50 Overland Park citizens obtained a temporary restraining order that stopped construction. The citizens said that the construction would make the area less attractive and that their children wouldn't be able to play there anymore.
Linwood Center, a former public school building, was opened last year as a satellite classroom building for KU classes. The building and the land surrounding it were purchased about one year ago by the University Endowment Association.
The construction or rebuilding of about 180 parking spaces is included in the expansion plans. The parking lot will be divided into four sections by landscaped hedges, and a large, open, earth-scape program will include the planting of between 60 and 70 trees.
Construction was to have been completed by the end of October. Lucas said.
Lucas said he expected no further problems with Overland Park citizens.
"hope when they see that the parking lot will be attractive, they'll be pleased with it."
HOPE vote starts today
Seniors may vote for one of five finalists in this year's HOOPE Award competition from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today and tomorrow at the Information booth on Jayhawk Boulevard.
The finalists are Allan Cigler, associate professor of political science; Edwyna Gilbert, associate professor of curriculum and instruction; J. Hammond McNish, adjunct professor of business; Jean Mulligan, associate professor of education; and Peter Turk, acting assistant professor of journalism.
The HOPE Award winner will be announced Nov. 6 at halftime of the KU-Iowa State football game.
Javhawks invited to discuss major football division
By STEVE LEBEN
Staff Writer
The CFA would be a forum for the major schools to discuss proposed National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rule changes and to solidify the positions of the big schools, Walker said.
There may be a new football power later this year. It won't be an individual school that will rival the likes of Oklahoma and Nebraska, rather an association of the nation's major football schools.
The University of Kansas is one of the schools planning to attend, Clyde Walker, athletic director at the university.
Seventy-eight of the nation's biggest football schools have been invited to gather in mid-December to discuss forming the College Football Association (CFA).
"BASICALLY, WHAT the problem stems from is that any institution without a similar program should be unable to teach."
Now, about 70 schools that don't meet criteria set by a CFA steering committee for naming schools as major college football institutions" are classified by the NCAA Division I, or large schools, according to Walker.
Division I schools have an equal vote on NCAA rules governing all sports, including football.
A steering committee of conference commissioners and representatives of selected schools has been meeting for about a year to consider ways schools could maintain and improve competition.
THE COMMITTEE assigned the CTA$^A$ a group of the 78 Division I schools that meet the CTA's requirements.
Have a stadium seating capacity of at least 30,000.
-Have an average attendance of at least 20,000 for a five-year period.
Under these criteria, all members of the Big 8 would be eligible for CFA membership. But schools like Wichita State University, currently a member of the Big 8 institution, I wouldn't be eligible for CFA membership.
—Play Division I schools in 70 per cent of their games.
- Have at least an average of 86 grants-in-aid to football players over a five-year period.
Walker said that as far as he knew there were no written criteria determining what schools could be
members of NCAA's Division I. NCAA schools were divided into three divisions two years ago, Walker said, and each school generally decided for itself which division it would join.
Each NCAA division has its own set of rules on such matters as the number of scholarships and coaches within an athletic program. Walker said the choice of division membership depended primarily upon how much a school wanted to invest in its athletic program.
THE SMALLER ERIVER DIVISION I schools have fought reclassification proposals brought before the NCAA in the past, often clinging bad psychological effects in recruiting should they lose jibbi Division I status.
Some rule changes have been made in recent years by Division I schools—sometimes by a close vote that pitted the larger schools against the smaller ones.
One such change was a reduction in the number of assistant football and basketball coaches a school
"I feel strongly that many of these things were an effort by the small schools to knock the big schools down."
BUT AN NCAA steering committee has made a
new reclassification proposal in a memorandum sent Friday to the athletic directors of Division I
Because of that commitment, he said, movement to a lower classification would be unacceptable.
Walker said he had expected such a move by the NCAA as an attempt to stop organization of the CFA. The NCAA wouldn't want an organization to throw one sport, as the CFA would do around football.
Walker said he hadn't read to study the new proposal, which read that him yesterday, but said his father was sick.
"I think it's a good proposal, especially if a particular school aspires to have a major college football program," he said. "We have made a firm commitment to the Division I-type program."
TED BREDEENHOF, athletic director at Wichita State, said he favored the new NCAA proposal, which would allow Wichita State to remain in Division I.
"FROM WHAT I'VE seen of it, I'm not sure it addresses itself to the problems that necessitate the CFA." Walker said. "The point is reorganization and this isn't really an effort to reorganize. People around the country want reclassification and I think that this proposal doesn't seem to meet the need."
If the NCAA meeting in November didn't result in agreement, Walker said he expected that the December organizational meeting of the CFA would be as planned.
"We certainly will be represented at the (CFA) organizational meeting," he said. "We support its motives and we feel strongly the necessity for this type of action."
WALKER DOESN'T expect to be alone at the,
meeting.
Charles Neimas, Big Right commissioner,
couldn't be reached for comment.
Walker is be expected considerable discussion on the proposals between athletic directors and players.
