Lawrence term limits denied
By Carlos Tejada
Kansan staff writer
Technicalities may have killed an attempt to impose term limitations on Lawrence city commissioners.
The Lawrence City Commission last night failed to place on the November ballot a proposed referendum to impose a term limit of two consecutive four-year terms on commissioners. They did so after Gerald Cooley, city attorney, said the referendum would be illegal under state law.
"This is not something we dreamed up," he told the commissioners. "It's doubtful that the law would allow this to become law."
Cooley told the commissioners the 3,830 signatures compiled by Scot
Hill. Andover senior and the state director of Kansans for Term Limits, met the state requirement for number of signatures.
But, Cooley said, small flaws doomed the referendum. He said the referendum's second section, which called upon the Lawrence city clerk to lobby the state and national governments to impose term limitations, was an administrative ordinance. Under Kansas law, an administrative ordinance — which deals with personnel matters, defines a finite goal that can be met or has no definite penalty for noncompliance — can't be put on the ballot, he said.
And because the city cannot tamper with the language of the referendum, Cooley said, the second section can't be separated from the first section. The first section dealt with the com-
The commission decided not to place the referendum on the ballot in hopes that Kansans for Term Limits wouldn't bring legal action against them. Cooley said the city's case was strong enough that court action from the organization was unlikely, thus avoiding court costs. The commission rejected another option to oppose the referendum in court itself.
missioners'term limits.
During the meeting, Bob Schulte, city commissioner, questioned the seriousness of the referendum. He asked the audience whether any of them had come to support it.
Hill was unavailable for comment after the meeting.
"Bingo," he said when nobody raised a hand.
Bikes, cars collide in rash of accidents
By Manny Lopez
Kansan staff writer
Three separate bicycle accidents that took place within a 32-minute time span yesterday sent one KU student to the hospital and caused more than $600 damage to the cars and bicycles involved.
"Three accidents is quite a few for one given day," said Sgt. Rose Rozmiarek of the KU police. "Bicyclists have to obey all traffic requirements. They are required to yield and stop at signs the same as vehicles."
Yesterday's accidents, which occurred at 10:56 a.m., 11:23 a.m. and 11:28 a.m., were unrelated, but all happened on campus.
In one of yesterday's accidents, a KU student was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and treated for
minor injuries. He was hit by a driver who apparently failed to yield, Rozmiraek said. More than $500 in damage to the vehicle and bicycle was reported.
"I didn't see her until the last minute," said the bicyclist, George Foster, Independence, Kan., junior. "I couldn't have done anything to avoid the wreck."
Foster said he was riding his 12-speed bicycle to class at Robinson Gymnasium when the driver turned in front of him, causing him to hit his head on the windshield.
"My bike is kind of a mess," he said. "This is the first time I've had an accident this bad."
Another KU student was slightly injured after he collided with a 1985 Dodge near Ellsworth Residence Hall, Rozmiakre said. About $100
damage was done to the bicycle. The student was not taken to the hospital.
The third accident, which was handled by Lawrence police, occurred at the intersection of Naismith Drive and Crescent Road in front of the Jayawk bookstore. The student was not taken to the hospital.
Final police reports on the accidents were not available yesterday.
At any given time 5,000 to 10,000 bicycles could be on campus, Rozmiarek said.
"Drivers also need to be alert that there are now more bicycles on campus," she said.
Aside from obeying all traffic laws, bicyclists need to remember that riding a bicycle on campus sidewalks is illegal, Rozmiiarek said. She said people should walk their bicycles on the sidewalk.
