'Big Blue Country' comes to Lawrence
Staff Writer
By CAROL LUMAN
All Lawrence residents are heretofore instructed to refer to the city as "Big Blue Country" as many times as possible. Lawrence city commissioners were told last night.
That order came in a proclamation by John Weatherax, chairman of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce science committee, who read a statement calling for the commission to attempt to "drown out that ugly color red we are sometimes inundated with."
His "ugly color red reference" concerned the Oklahoma University and Nebraska University football fans that invade stadiums every other year decked out in red.
Predominately blue wardrobes are to be in vogue during each week prior to a home football game as Lawrence residents want the team to "art" the Jayhawks. Weather wax was.
WEATHERWAX'S description of his proclamation as "totally noncontroversial" drew laughter from the commissioners in light of the heated discussion in the city commission room last week on two zoning ordinance issues.
The commission enjoyed another "noncontroversial" matter as it accepted a plaque and gift 75 to 85 trees from Jim McDonald and gitter Arnett on behalf of McDonald's of Lawrence.
The trees are McDonald's gift to the city, Garrett said, as a part of the fast-food restaurant's national "Trees for America" program, which was designed to give the city a living gift in celebration of the Bicentennial.
IN MORE SERIOUS matters, the commission discussed a number of public works and planning items, including a sewer system with expanded portion on the east edge of the city.
Commissioners also were given honorary citizenship to McDonaldland, home of the McDonalds.
The possible annexation of 145 acres of land near 31st street and Kasand Drive alone.
If that land is annexed, Kasold Drive could be extended to 31st Street, Buford Watson, city manager, told the commissioners.
Part of the land needed for the extension of Kasai Drive currently is outside the city limits but is included in the package of land under consideration for anaxement.
AT THE REQUEST of Mayor Fred Pence, the commission also discussed the possibility of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Staff reviewing and making improvements to the north of the Green Pepper restaurant, 544 W. 23rd St. and west of Louisiana street.
That land recently was a subject of controversy when the owner of the Green Pepper requested a zoning change so that it could build a parking lot on a portion of that land.
That request, at the urging of area residents, was denied last week by the city.
However, Pence said he thought it would be to the advantage of the city if the planning staff could make some constructive improvements in the area, which he described as a "slam."
KU recreation department sponsors fitness program
The planning staff was requested to submit to the commission some suggestions.
Lawrence residents can participate in a program this fall to improve their health, and the only cost is a lot of sweat and perseverance.
The University of Kansas department of health, physical education and recreation is supervising a cardiovascular fitness program, a logging and conditioning program.
"The program is provided to help adults become physically active to improve their heart and circulatory fitness." Wayne Jayne, program coderector, said yesterday.
The program was established in 1971 on the basis of a thesis by Ozzie Karatun, an undergraduate diplac rehabilitation, which dealt with the beneficial effects of exercise on inactive people.
"THIS PROGRAM is a definite advantage," Osness said. "in that we're the only university that doesn't charge a fee. We are willing to donate their time and effort."
The program had such a good public response from the beginning, Osssaed said, that he and John Pyter, associate professor of physics at Colorado College, added to offer the program every semester.
TO JOIN THE program, every member must have a physician's approval. Each person is assigned to a group according to his present physical fitness.
"We divide the participants into two groups—those who have not exercised recently and those who have." Pyfer said. "One group will start out at a slower pace and will probably not finish the program as far ahead as the other group."
By the end of the semester, Pyfer said, all participants will run no less than a mile.
An orientation and sign-up session will be conducted at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Room 123 of Robinson Gymnasium, and the first session will start at 6:45 for Allen Field House. The half hour sessions will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

More than 100 corporations use TM's executive training program, he said.
He said that most of the one and a half million people who mediated in 140 countries pay to learn. Current fees in the United States are $65 for students and $125 for nonstudent adults. SIMS negotiates with people unable to pay that much, he said.
He said that SIMS was a nonprofit, educational organization, and that fees covered maintenance of the local office, development of advanced teaching programs, costs of printing and video training and compensation of teachers' time.
THE MAHARISHI is a very wealthy
man, he said, but has no possession—his wealth is spiritual.
The Maharishi 'serves to inspire us with his knowledge,' Newmark said, but isn't associated with the organization. The World Bank is among the many of the various TM organizations, he said.
He said that TM teachers had com-
fortable lives. Although they don't receive a
paycheck, TM teachers are able to pay.
NEWMARK SAID that even though the TM technique was effortless, teachers were necessary because many effortless things require guidance. Speaking is natural to a child, he said, but the child requires guidance to do it properly.
