Good housekeeping?

This house, once used by the University of Kansas as a practical training facility for home economics students, now is used for
practice by the Studier Wrecking Co. of Topeka, which holds a contract with KU for the demolition of the 46-year-old structure.
Dilapidated KU house torn down
An old home-management practice house, once used to teach University of Kansas woman to "keep house," is being torn down because it wasn't kept up.
Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning, said Tuesday that the small, wood-sided structure at 1700 W. 16th St. had become obsolete after the KU home was ended in the 1980s, and that it was allowed to deteriorate in the following years.
Lawton said that the demolition should be completed in another 30 days and that there
were no plans for erecting any new buildings at the site.
The department of anthropology had taken over the house in 1966 and used it for research, according to Alfred Johnson, director of the anthropology Museum.
Johnson said the house was referred to as the Anthropology Research Facility (ARF) until two years ago, when it had become so diapidated that it could no longer be used. He said the plaster had begun to fall from the ceilings.
thropology department, said that she could remember the house when it was "very charming," and that it was sad to have children, deteriorate and finally be published.

The little house, built in 1930, may be in bad shape, but it's not coming down too easily, according to Andy and Lou Stadler, partners and brothers in Stadler Wrecking Co. of Topena, who have the contract for the demolition of the building.
The two have been working on this job for two weeks, and Lou Stander said, "It'a a change." Ms. Hoyt said.
City re zones controversial area
Despite the objections of several neighbors, city commissioners last night voted 4-1 to rezone about three-fourths of an acre of a street in Brooklyn's streets from residential to commercial.
Most of the surrounding area is zoned commercial.
In approving the request, one commissioner, Marmie Argersinger, said she had reversed her first inclination to deny the request because, after looking at the property, she said she realized that those areas she could use for residential purposes.
The dissenting commissioner, Carl Mibeck, voted against the issue because, he
said, the objections of the neighbors should be made before the location would lead to traffic problems.
The traffic problem was also a major concern of the neighbors, who objected to the rezoning because they said, it would be too expensive. But that was rebuilding and revitalizing itself.
Area residents said that new people were moving into the neighborhood and were buying and fixing some of the older houses. Because a McDonald's restaurant is on the block, which is what owners propose to build on the lot, the residents said, new people would be reluctant to come in to try to rebuild the area.

In other business, a final plat for Deerfield Village North was approved unanimously by the commission, also over the objections of a number of residents.
Residents along Arrowhead Drive in Deerfield Park asked the commission to address the development to Peterson Road. They said that without such a road they feared traffic along the street would increase to unacceptable limits as the development
However, the commissioners said they didn't foresee such a problem, but if it did occur, a solution would be to block Arrowhead Drive on one end, making it clearer from the interior of the development. That would reduce traffic to residents only.

A new Minority Affairs Center in the Kansas Union should be open by November, according to Rodney Dennis, chairman of the Senate Minority Affairs Committee.
"The center will be a place where people can come with an idea, and we can plug it into the proper channels," Dennis said vesterday.
Minority Affairs Center will open soon
Construction of the center, on the third level of the Union, should be completed within a week, he said, and will open as soon as possible. The union are ended and duties can be delegated.
The center will include lounge, meeting and office areas. Dennis said there would be space for posting announcements and distributing information, as well as a "listening center," a library of music and lecture tapes.
"OUR GOAL IS to be like an umbrella resource center to fill in the gap that exists in terms of minority events," he said. "One of our goals is the participation of all major students."
Dennis said that he was pleased with student involvement in planning the center, but that he was afraid only a few minority students really understood the concept of the center.
The center will serve as an informational and referral office for all minority groups. He said the center would supplement cultural activities that are now available for minority students by sponsoring speakers, films and other programs.
**WE WANT TO SENSITIZE minority students** we are the channels that exist on this website.
Dennis said the staffing of the office, which is in charge of answering question. He said he baped that.
