Citizens seek Linwood injunction
By JERRY SEIB Staff Writer
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 parking permit and parked on a 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
In Thursday's hearing, the citizens will be stopped structure. Mike Dykes, University of Texas law professor.
said yesterday that any order issued because of the hearing would be a temporary injunction that could be made permanent.
THE LINWOOD Center is a former public school building that opened last year as a daycare.
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 arranged 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 round is that it's too deep.
Plans for the parking lot expansion call for the resurfacing of some current parking areas and the construction of a new lot in the southwest corner of the grounds.
Lacas 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 students with citizens objecting to the construction.
DAVIS SAID that about 50 citizens attended the meeting, after which KU of ficials 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 quarter sees eight points ahead, but the poll 3-381-2 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 left shuffled from the Carter column to the "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.
Pollster George Gallipn Jr. said during the weekend that two earlier polls by his organization understated Carter's strength and that it would switch to a later same.
The latest Catapoll poll, released Friday,
gave Carter a 50 to 42 edge, with 8 per cent

narrowly ahead in six others with 38, a total of 84 votes.
BOTH THE NEW York Times and Time magazine said the latest findings in their studies were based on a large study.
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, with 93 electoral votes, are key states where Carter's office has dwindled, and California, Illinois and Texas are so close neither candidate can claim an edge, the Times said.
The Times said Carter had a sense leon in 10 states with 84 electoral votes and a shaky lead in 16 states with 210 electoral votes. By contrast, he has won 294 votes, 24 more than needed to win.
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.
Time magazine said its September poll by Yankelovich, Skelly and Showed White and Carter in a dead heat among 1,308 registered voters sampled, with 43 per cent supporting each candidate and 14 per cent undecided.
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.
The five finalists for the HOPE Award
announced yesterday by the HOPE
award committee.
Henry said that the parking lot expansion had been planned about six months and that he hadn't seen a list of the citizens' complaints.
5 in finals for HOPE

The finalists are Allan Cigler, assistant professor of political science; Edwynna Gilbert, associate professor of curriculum and instruction and of English; J. Hammond McNish, adjunct professor of business; Jean Pyfe, associate professor of physical education; and Peter Turk, acting associate professor of journalism.
Randy Brown, HOPE Award committee co-chairman, said 489 KU seniors voted Oct. 6 and 7, almost three times the number that voted last year.
"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."
KU seniors may vote again for one of the 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 a 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 raiding selling soft drinks and poocorn.
"NO KU students have applied yet, but we take them if they use," Remick said.
Kevin Remick, Kansas University concessions manager, said Saturday that 150 to 200 vendors, aged 12-16, sell concessions at KU football games.
THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Dana Griffin said he became a vendor because “it’s something to do and a way to earn money” and that it’s $8 at a game by selling 228 cobs of Cake.
Don Cooper, supervisor of the vendors, recently signed on some new employees.
Some vendors said they received tips from customers.
THE consensus among vendors was that they had the most luck during the K-State, Oklahoma and Band Bay games. John Steele, of Oklahoma and Band Bay games, busiest time was the second quarter of a
Cooper said that only nine or ten vendors sold popcorn and that these vendors got discouraged because popcorn doesn't usually sell well.
"JUNIOR HIGH is the best age," Cooper said. "Usually the younger ones get scared, and the older ones think they're too sophisticated."
"it put more than half of the bank and saved the rest for the high school games," he said.
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 a pack, they don't sell on a daily day, the younger ones might sell only 100.
Twelve year-old Kerry Cobb said she usually put her earnings in the bank
The earning of the 18 vendors move averaged $5 to $10 a game, for selling 125-250 cups of soft drinks from noon, when they arrive, until after halftime.
The only requirement is that they've got to be able to make change.
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 department because students "mix booze with it."
"People get mad if you sell out before you get to the top row," Steve Laber said.
THE JOB HAS its problems, too. Some vendors said that their arms and legs got tired, and that climbing up stairs loaded with travs of soft drinks wasn't easy.
"They yell at you if they give you a big bill and you don't have change. And some people like that."
Twelve-year old Jimmy Church said he ran into a little trouble once, when one customer had only a quarter to pay for his car and Jimmy ended up paying the rest himself.
One young vendor said that when he finished selling, he often sat on the 50-yard stretch.
One incentive for taking the job is free admission to games. Although vendors are busy selling their wares through halftime, you can find an empty seat during the last quarter.
