Citizens seek Linwood injunction
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Johnson County District Court to determine whether a group of citizens can stop the expansion of a parking lot at the University of Kansas Linwood Center in Overland Park.
Citizens of the area surrounding the center on Wednesday obtained a temporary restraining order stopting work on the parking lot. The citizens object to the expansion because they say it will prevent children from using the area as a playground and will make the area less attractive.
In Thursday's hearing, the citizens will be a court injunction stopping construction.
said yesterday that any order issued because of the hearing would be a temporary injunction that could be made permanent.
THE LNWOOD Center is a former public school building that opened last year as a part of the new school system.
Max Lucas, assistant to the chancellor,
said the Kansas University Endowment
Association purchased both the school
building and the land surrounding it. He
said about three-fourths of the land
purchased was open space.
The University arranges to lease about half of the property to the city of Overland Park for $1 a year, Lucas said, and the land is now used as a football practice area.
THE REASON the kids are using the ground for football practice in the first week of school is that they get a better feel.
Plans for the parking lot expansion can for the resurfacing of some current parking areas and the construction of a new lot in the southwest corner of the grounds.
Lucas said about 180 parking spaces would be either resurfaced or constructed. The project would also include installation trees, plants and islands in the lot, he said.
Lucas, Davis; Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor; and Martin Henry, Endowment Association vice president for night with citizen objecting to the construc
DAVIS SAID that about 50 citizens attended the meeting, after which KU officials said they would go ahead with the project. The citizens then obtained the temporary restraining order, which will be good for eight days.
Polls show Carter, Ford even; Carter's lead falls dramatically
WASHINGTON (AP)—National political polls show Jimmy Carter even with President Ford or his edge narrowing as the fall campaign enters its last month. A third poll showed eight point ahead, but the poll 3-361-2 may be revised on the basis of additional results.
The Newhouse News Service reported that a poll it conducted with the Chicago Daily News found that Carter had "fallen dramatically" in his electoral vote edge and was calling for states he had shifted from the Carter column to "uncertain" category in the last two weeks.
THE NEWHOUSE survey found Carter leading in 21 states and the District of Columbia with a total of 224 electoral votes—46 fewer than the 270 needed for victory. It said Ford held steady with 84 electoral votes in 14 states.
narrowly ahead in six others with 38, a total of 64 votes.
New York, Pennsylvania and Owe, with 93 electoral votes, are key states where Carter's edge has dwindled, and California, Illinois and Texas are so close neither candidate can claim an edge, the Times said.
The latest Gallup poll, released Friday,
gave Carter a 30 to 42 edge, with 8 per cent
favoring other candidates or having no
opinion.
The Times said Carter had a solid lead in 10 states with 84 electoral votes and a shaky lead in 16 states with 212 electoral votes. By February, the number of votes have 294 votes, 24 more than needed, to win.
Time magazine said its September poll by Yankelovich, Skelly and White showed Ford and Carter in a dead heat among 1,300 registered voters sampled, with 43 per cent supporting each candidate and 14 per cent undecided.
Pollster George Gilup Jr, said during the weekend that two earlier polls by his organization understated Carter's strength and that it would switch to a larger sample.
It said that 11 states appeared even, and that in none of the important states did Carter's lead exceed 5 or 6 percentage points. By gaining a few points nationwide in popular support, the Times said, Ford conceivably could win the election.
BOTH THE NEW York Times and Time magazine said the latest findings in the study were based on 1,649 subjects.
The Times said that a survey it conducted with CBS showed Carter holding an advantage in enough states to win a majority of electoral votes, but that his edge was narrow in most of the states and was dwindling in some important ones.
Davis said some construction work had begun before the court ordered storage.
IT SAID FORD leads comfortably in eight states with 46 electoral votes and is
5 in finals for HOPE
The five finalists for the HOPE Award were announced yesterday by the HOPE
the opnager. Henry said that the parking lot expiration had been planned about six months and that he hadn't seen a list of the citizens' complaints.
The finalists are Allan Ciger, assistant professor of political science; Edwyna Burton, associate professor of instruction and of English; J. Hammond McNish, adjunct professor of business; Jean Pyfer, associate professor of business; Peter Turk, acting associate professor of business.
"I's my impression that they feel the paved area will be a less attractive area," he said. "It's also my impression that some kids play football on that grass area."
Randy Brown, HOPE Award committee co-chairman, said 498 KU seniors voted Oct. 6 and 7, almost three times the number that voted last year.
KU seniors may vote again for one of the five finalists Oct. 27 and 28. The winner will be announced Nov. 6 at the halftime of the KU- Iowa State football game.
The HOPE Award (Honor to an Outstanding Progressive Educator) was established by the Class of 1959. Calder received the Journalism, received the award last year.
Stadium vendors climb the stands to serve the fans, see the game
By MARTHA FASSETT
Aside from the players, the pompon girls, the band and the fans, one essential part of a football game is the army of young stadium fans who are ripping selling soft drinks and popcorn.
Kevin Remick, Kansas University concessions manager, said Saturday that 150 to 200 vendors, aged 12-16, sell concessions at KU football games.
"No KU students have applied yet, but you take them if we remit," Remick said.
Don Cooper, supervisor of the vendors,
recently signed on some new employees.
THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Dawn Griffin said he became a vendor because "it's something to do and a way to earn money." He gave $9 at one game by selling 228 cocoa cups.
"JUNIOR HIGH is the best age," Cooper said. "Usually the younger ones get scared, and the older ones think they're too sophisticated.
He said that the vendors get 4 cents for every box of popcorn or soft drink sold and that even though some vendors might sell less, the younger ones might sell only 10%. The younger ones might sell only 10%.
Cooper said that only nine or ten vendors sold popcorn and that these vendors got discouraged because popcorn doesn't usually sell well.
The earning of the 18 vendors interviewed averaged $5 to $10 a game. for selling 125-250 cups of soft drinks from noon, when they arrive, until after halftime.
"I put more than half of it in the bank and saved the rest for the high school games," he said.
The only requirement is that they've got to be able to make change.
Twelve year-old Kerry Cobb said she usually put her earnings in the bank.
THE consensus among vendors was that they had the most luck during the K-State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Band Day games. Nevada, Idaho and Oregon basked time was the second quarter of a

game when two vendors "can sell a case within two steps of each other."
The vendors seem to be selling to a captive audience. "You get halfway up the stairs and sell them all," said Tommy Thompson, an 13-year vendor.
Pat McElheney, an 11-year-old vendor, said he sold more in the student section than in the alumni section because students "mix booze with it."
THE JOB HAS its problems, too. Some vendors said that their arms and legs got tired, and that climbing up stairs loaded with trays of soft drinks wasn't easy.
"People get mad if you sell out before you get to the top row," Steve Labery said.
"They yell at you if they give you a big bill some people take Cakes without paying.
Twelve-year old Jimmy Church said he ran into a little trouble once, when one customer had only a quarter to pay for his lunch and Jimmy ended up paying the rest himself.
One incentive for taking the job is free admission to games. Although vendors are busy selling their wares through halftime, they can also end an empty seat during the last quarter.
One young vendor said that when he finished selling, he often sat on the 50-yard table.

Robert Kugel, executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, said yesterday that Krizelman was chosen from among five candidates in a background, experience and temperment."
KU Medical Center officials have selected Sheldon Krizelman, director of operations at St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland, as the new hospital administrator.
Krizelman will start work Dec. 1. He replaces Merlin Olsen, who left the Med Center in April for a job at the University of Colorado Medical Center.

The hospital administrator is the chief administrative officer for the hospital.
Kugel said Miller would work with krizelman on such projects as a plan to improve the way he sees things.
Krizleman was executive assistant to the administrator at St. Luke's from 1790 to 1793, and has been director of operations there since 1793.
He received his degree in hospital administration from the University of Minnesota and his undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska.
