UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
City pool renovation to begin this month
By Tara Trenary
Kansas staff writer
The Lawrence Municipal Pool held its end-of-summer activities yesterday, and, as of today, it no longer will be the pool the city has known for 27 years.
To begin the Labor Day celebration at the city pool, Bob Lockwood, pool manager for 27 years, and Mayor Bob Moody took samples of the pool's water to store until the re-opening of the pool.
Renovation should begin in mid September, and the pool should re-open in late May 1996, Lockwood said.
He said the projected cost of the new pool was $2.4 million.
"I'm glad to see we've got the money to fix it up," City Manager Mike Wildgen said.
Wildgen said he had been taking his children to the city pool since they were small and that he saved a small blue tile from the floor of the pool to remember it.
The purpose of renovating the pool is to increase the pool's water surface area, replace the deteriorating pool basin, improve the bath house and provide features that would enhance aquatic instruction, recreation and competition.
Also, the diving area is too shallow for safe diving, the north end is too shallow for competition swimming, the two wading pools
have inadequate recirculation facilities, and the three pools are not handicapped-accessible, according to Larkin and Associates' new pool plans. Larkin and Associates designed the new pool.
The new pool will be brought to the level of Tennessee Street, which will make the pool handicapped-accessible, Lockwood said. It will feature a new diving well with improved diving boards, a larger slide, a sand area, fountains in the shallow pool, a lily pad walk, an 80-foot wide gazeebo and a separate concession area.
But with reassurances about the safety of the pool from Dave Schwartz, city pool consultant for Larkin and Associates, the commission voted to go ahead with the project.
Herbert D. Hill Jr., Lawrence resident, presented safety concerns about the new pool at the Aug. 22 City Commission meeting.
He said that the diving boards would be placed too close together, which could cause divers to collide.
Timothy Chiax, Tustin, Calif,
junior, said he was glad the city
decided to renovate the pool
instead of closing it.
"I think it's great because it will attract more people to come out and be a part of the community," he said.
FRATERNITY: Hazing suspected

investigation, which is expected to conclude by Sept. 14.
- "This would be a probation, not
"expulsion." Mudd said.
Dan Mudd, Interfraternity Council president, said that he expected Delta Chi to have its student organization privileges revoked. These privileges include participation in intramurals, social functions and use of University facilities.
Nelson said details of the alleged hazing incident would not be made available until the investigation was completed.
Nelson and Kaiser also refused to provide information on students taken to the hospital, though Kaiser
said that alcohol did not play an important role in their conditions.
"It was not an alcohol-poisoning thing," he said.
*gruden Hopkins, Delta Chi president, was not available for comment.*
KU bans all hazing activities including any that recklessly, negligently or intentionally endanger the health, welfare or safety of a student as stated in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Mudd said that the University often received calls from parents about hazing, but that students or parents rarely filed formal complaints.
"Too often people won't come forward," he said. "We can call up an organization and make idle threats, but we can't prove anything."
