Loop report
From name one
ROSS SAID 1,200 to 1,500 more people used the center in the first six months of 1976 than during the first six months of 1975. He said there was a definite need to have an emergency room. "A 'green belt' proposed in the report for the west side of the loop would include a sidewalk for pedestrians and a bicycle path built according to the city's proposed limits. The road would be a buffer between the industrial zone and the residential zone."
A noise analysis was made of the entire length of the loop by the Remote Sensing Section of the Location and Design Concepts Department of the Kansas Department of Transportation (DOT). The analysis, using standards set by the FIWA, concluded that the loop would increase with or without the loop because of the increasing volume of traffic.
AN UPDATED NOISE Analysis Report, based on new guidelines, is being prepared by the Kansas DOT for inclusion in the final environmental impact statement.
No air quality analysis was required for the project because it is located within city limits. Lawrence isn't classified as a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, for which air quality studies must be done. The report said, however, that increased effluent from the facility could increase exhaust fires now emitted from traffic making frequent starts and stops.
The report was criticized by several East Lawrence citizens for being blased.
FRANK SMITH, co-owner of Obinger Smith, said that the company thought the loop was needed or they wouldn't have proposed to the city and that the report probably did reflect professional opinions. He said he knew of some organized opposition but didn't think there was a deep feeling of resistance to the idea.
She said she worried about whether the people forced to move could pay the taxes and unkeep on the houses they would move and she also didn't like to see so much housing placed where she weren't enough places in residence for people to live.
Barbara Wilts, public relations director for the East Lawrence Improvement Association.
BROOK PARK WOULDN'T be a satisfactory replacement for Municipal Stadium because it is on the other side of the field. He was also a boy bornhood, he said. And there isn't any place to move the East Lawrence Center if New School won't let it use its building, she said.
She also criticized the report for failing to prepare for additional traffic on Haskell
--baby since the beginning. They've been in the city on so many projects. Their reputation is enhanced by the city that thries them, because they want to make that the city of Lawrence wanted," she said.
"The report has been Oblinger Smith's
WILLIES SAID THE 13 houses that would remain east of the loop were left so that Stokley Van Camp camery could expand. If that area was zoned residential, she said, the residents could improve their houses. But if it was zoned commercial, she said, in in their homes "depends on how long they can stand the pressure from Stokley."
The report simply mentioned that 13 houses would remain east of the loop.
City manager Buford Watson said he was pleased with the report.
it's supposed to outline the problems and measure the environmental impact. It's not supposed to be an unbiased statement," he said.
HE SAID PEOPLE on the east side of the loop understood that the plans couldn't include everyone. The 13 houses eventually changed to industrial property, he said.
The city would help displaced residents find standard housing if they couldn't find something on their own, he said. Residents could receive up to $15,000 in relocation payments and would receive a moving allowance covering whatever it cost them to move to the city. The city would payment of the difference between interest rates on their mortages, Watson said, and the property would be bought based upon the appraisal of a qualified appraiser.
Dole schedules visit to campus
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., the Republican vice presidential candidate, will be in Lawrence Saturday for the KU homecoming football game.
Officials of the Dole campaign staff contacted the office of Chancellor Archie Dykes yesterday to confirm the visit, which is sponsored by the College Republicans.
Doug Bell, Fort Scott senior and president of the KU College Republicans, said Dole was tentatively scheduled to attend the 1:30 p.m. game with Oklahoma University and a post-game reception for Rep. Larry Winn, R.Kan., who is seeking reelection for the Republican nomination. The reception will be in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
Dole attended KU for two years before joining the Army during World War II. He later received a bachelor's degree from Washington University and a law degree from Washanb University.
Desmond Hawkins, British naturalist,
spoke last night about the past, present,
and future of the British Broadcasting Corporation's wildlife documentary films.
Briton talks on BBC films
"About 100 people listened to his speech,
'About a Natural Evening with a British
Naturalist.'"
Through his presentation, Hawkins demonstrated his concern for the future quality of documentary wildlife films, their popularity and their rising cost.
Hawkins is more than a film-maker, however. As a member of the BBC staff from 1945 to 1970, he founded its natural history unit. He is better known for his work as a publisher. His most recent book is "Thomas Hardy."
The speech was sponsored by the Jayhawk Audubon Society, the Natural History Museum and the Division of Biological Sciences.
He said that the documentary programs on BBC were an effort "to establish a healthy relationship between ourselves and what remains in our environment.

MATHEMATICS AND LANGUAGE MAJORS...
Think about your future.
THE PQT COULD BE THE KEY TO YOUR FUTURE.
If you are receiving a degree in Mathematics or Language before September 1977, the National Security Agency's Professional Qualification Test (PQC) is required as a rewarding career.
You must register by November 6 in order to take the PQT on campus - it will not be given again during the school year. By scoring well on this test, you will qualify for an employment interview. During the interview, an NSA representative will discuss the role you might play in furthering this country's communications security or in producing vital intelligence information.
The PQT helps to measure your aptitude for career areas such as:
LANGUAGES - Foreign languages are valuable tools for research, analysis, and documentation projects. Advanced training can be required for perhaps a new language can be expected.
COMMUNICATIONS—Developing and testing logical designs for global communications is a unique pursuit. It follows that the area will be both extensive and esoteric.
PROGRAMMING—Our vast communications analysis projects could not be effectively managed without the latest computer knowledge and people who know how to use them.
PICK UP A PQT BULLETIN at your college placement office. It contains a registration form which you must mail prior to November 6 in order to take the test on November 20.
Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Slavic, Mid Eastern and Asian language majors may interview without taking the PQT.
Citizenship is required.
