Full accreditation given to KU by regional agency
BY ALISON GWINN
Kansan Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas' full accreditation to the doctoral level has been renewed by the North Central Association of Medical Schools. The executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.
Accreditation at the doctoral level is the highest accreditation the North Central Association has received.
The last time the University was reopened, a review that time, a review was scheduled for five years later, to see whether KU had solved some of the problems that the association was trying to resolve.
The longest period between reviews is ten years. KU hasn't been scheduled for another review, but a progress report must be submitted to the association by May 1, 801, detailing progress in areas for which association expressed concern, Shankel said.
After that progress report, a review should be scheduled, he said.
The association said KU still had too
many small graduate programs and inadequate classroom, research and office space, particularly for the natural sciences, social sciences and the School of Business.
The association also said KU had an inadequate number of support services, including maintenance support, include secretaries, technicians, mechanical shops, computer and library facilities, and grounds personnel. The library was one of the association's most important assets.
The association also cited strengths it found at KU.
It commented on the high quality of students and faculty, and complimented KU's concern for teaching research and service.
The association said the KU administration, after several changes, was dismissed. In 2016, the KU was complimented on developments it has made in institutional planning and efforts it has made to coordinate the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses, he

KU was also commended for buildings
The association also complimented KU for ending the proliferation of new academic programs occurring in the 1960's, Shankel said.
An evaluation committee visited the University in February, wrote a report and sent the report to the University. The University sent back corrections and feedback; the report was then given to the association's executive board by the review for approval.
The final accreditation came after a meeting last Wednesday between the North Central Association and several KU administrators.
Loop quarrel intensifies
By LYNN PEARSON
A battle has begun that could decide the fate of the Haskell Loop, a road that would connect downtown Lawrence with the airport and that would cut through east Lawrence.
Opponents of the loop have been circling a petition house-to-house since last October.
Kyle Andregg, director of the community development office, said Sunday that he and his staff "suggested that it would be beneficial to come up with a plan" to come to Tuesday's public hearing.
Proponents of the loop, including the city's Community Development office and several East Lawrence Improvement Association members, have been talking to those in east Lawrence who want the loop and to Chamber of Commerce members.
Commissioner Carl Mibek, who lives in east Lawrence, said that he hadn't been involved in gathering signatures for a petition opposing the loop. He said he didn't
But, Andregg said, it is illegal to use government funds to foster community support on controversial projects. He said his office couldn't spend community development funds for flyers or mallers' support of a project like Haskell Loop.
Council for elderly to add 3rd minibus
The Douglas County Council on Aging will receive its third minibus in two to six months, Carl Boughten, executive director of the council, said Sunday.
The council began regular bus trans- forstation for the edgars on August 14, 1973.
Boughten said the new bus would be equipped with a hydraulic lift and would be
Revenue sharing and the Douglas County Commission provided the funds for the bus.
Boughton said that the two buses now in operation hadn't been able to accommodate them.
"We have had to refuse from 3 to 5 people every day," he said.
He estimated that the two buses gave rides to 85 people a day.
As in the pass, bus fare will be 25 cents for those who can pay.
sign the petition with Barbara Williams, all of the petitioners, presented it to him.
"I'm leaving it to the people here in the neighborhood," Miteck said. "My vote will be made on the basis of what the people want."
Mark Kapplan, 1032 New York, Richard McCormack, 1034 New York, Ann Dyntz, 1135 New York and Willett, 1035 Delaware, have been working for over a week gathering signatures for the petition against the ban.
As of yesterday, the group had about 150 signatures opposing the construction of the building.
Commissioner Marine Argeranger said the commission could purchase a Kellop loop to a boat, and give it tough tugging.
Two commissioners, Barkley Clark and Fred Pence, have said they were in favor of the two. Other mibee and Donald Blins, have said they were against it. This year's candidates are Mikaela Argersinger, unless one of the other commissioners unexpectedly changes his vote.
Opponents of the loop had a meeting Sunday night to organize their arguments and to decide what each would say in their presentation at tonight's hearing. Willits
Tom Patchen, chairman of the East Lawrence Improvement Association's housing rehabilitation committee, said that he met with the community at the meeting to support the loop project.
"We've gone through two years of listening and working with the city on this project," he said. "We supported all the projects we conducted and we're on record as supporting it."
The association voted 24 to 6 last fall to endorse the project.
"I've been in business in east Lawrence for 30 years and nothing has been done here," he said. "I'm just as much con-
flicted with people improving themselves as anybody."
"With the city garage being built in far east Lawrence, we're going to need a road that gets those big trucks off our streets and away from New York School."
Patchen, who doesn't live in east Lawrence, owns Patchen factories & Industrial Parks.
Patched see the community had to think ahead. If the city didn't build the Haskell Loop now, he said it would have to build it in the next five or ten years, because of the city's growth and the spread of industry in the east Lawrence area.
The school is at 938 New York. The loop will run by it near Ninth Street.
However, Wells said the loop would be between her children and New York School District.
Kaplan said that the road wasn't needed in traffic problem on the residential street.
Patchet said the home owners in east Lawrence would benefit the most from the loop's construction. He said that it would allow residents access to downtown and to Sixth Street.
However, Kaplan said that the homeowners were the ones who would be hurt the most because of increased traffic in their neighborhood brought by the loop. Expansion of industry, Kaplan said, will follow the loop's construction.
Kaplan and his group are opposed to industrial growth in east Lawrence.
But Patchen and his group want industrial growth in east Lawrence.
"It doesn't make sense to take good land and open space for industry when we've got space available in town," Patchen said.
One of the petitioners' grievances has been the elimination of the east Lawrence park which would be directly in the path of the loop.
Supporters and opponents will present their arguments at tonight's meeting and the city commission will have to soon decide whether the Haskell Loop will be built.

Highway agency to chisel down cost of bypass
The original plan for the bypass, which will connect K-10 and U. 24-40, was scrapped last month because the estimated construction cost had nearly doubled.
New possibilities for the construction of a bypass east of Lawrence will be planned by the State Highway Commission as a result of having it had with local officials yesterday.
State Highway Engineer John McNeal said last night that the highway commission would prepare proposals for the construction of a less expensive road. He said the department's staff would propose proposals could be ready to be considered by Lawrence officials and residents.
City Commissioner Carl Mibek, who attended the meeting, said the cost estimate for the bypass had risen from $27 million in 1973 to about $50 million year. He said the highway commission would propose cities that would cost about $20 million.
The original plan provided for a four-lane divided highway, including a four-lane bridge across the Kansas River. McNeal said other possibilities were a four-lane highway built on a right-of-way wide enough to allow for future expansion to four lanes.
He said the highway commission's proposals would be adequate to carry the traffic loads projected for the next 10 to 15 years.
The source of funding for the road will be decided after a plan is chosen, McNeal said. He said if federal funds were to be used, federal standards would have to be met.
"We would intend, if at all possible, to come up with a plan that would be elizable

Turkey takes control of American bases
ANKARA (AP)—Turkish military commanders moved in Monday and took control of five U.S. bases concerned primarily with intelligence gathering, a campaign by the security spokesman announced. He said 20 more installations would be taken over Tuesday.
In Washington, a U.S. State Department American military activities in Turkey has suspended but said the Turkish government but not asked for the removal of U.S. personnel.
The takeover is in reprisal for the refusal of the U.S. House of Representatives to ease an arms embargo imposed against Turkey after its invasion of Cyprus. Three major bases have been affected. They are: The Israeli naval base at Sipon, on the coast of the Black Sea, and Princilin, near the town of Diyarbakır in southeastern Turkey.
Committee okavs oil profits tax
WASHINGTON (AP) - Anticipating that all oil-price controls will and in five weeks, the Senate Finance Committee approved legislation yesterday to soak up wind oil price
By a 10-2 vote, the committee agreed to an excess-profits tax. Chairman Russell B. Long, D.L.A., said he hopes Congress will pass legislation that would start a month-long vacation on Saturday.
The committee will try to determine today how the billions to be taxed away
from oil companies will be rebated to U.S. consumers.
Under the committee's proposal, the government would tax away 90 per cent of the profit accruing to the oil companies after the removal of price controls. However, the companies could avoid a portion of the tax by reinvesting a share of the windfall in the search for more oil and gas.
Congressional tax experts estimate that if price controls expire as scheduled on Aug.
31, the oil industry stands to gain $18 billion in unexpected income.
The first $1 billion would go to the states in mineral taxes. Under a complex formula in the committee plan, the federal government would receive about $12.6 billion in 1976. The oil industry would be expected to escape the financial strain by establishing the windfall in energy development.
The amount of oil subject to the windfall tax would decline by 1.4 per cent a month.
The Finance Committee staff estimates
that during the six years the tax would be in effect, the government would collect enough tax from the oil industry to finance a rebate of $612.99 for every person in the United States.
In rushing committee action on the windfall-profit taxes, Long is assuming that President Ford and Congress will be unable to avoid differences over energy policy this week.
If Leng is correct, price controls will
expire while Congress is on vacation. The
Sale goers seek bargains as Knights sought Grail
By KEN STONE
Substitute the Knights of the Round Table for little old ladies and the Holy Grail for the super bargain and you may begin to understand the reasons for the popularity of that peculiarly American phenomenon known as the garage sale.
In the days of King Arthur, knights would sally forth in their endless quest for the Grail, a cup or dish supposedly used by Christ at the Last Supper.
A tour of Lawrence yard and garage sales over the weekend revealed that there were as many objects of pursuit as there were objects, and even a bargain here and there.
Today, legions of little ladies, hopeful newlyweds and entire families comb the countryside every weekend for another adventure of possession: the super burglar.
rockers going for $50. There were miles of lines hung with clothes of all kinds: children's clothes, baby clothes and everything from girdles to formal attire.
There were cups and saucers selling for nickels and dimes and new-looking antique
There was even a 26-year-old coconut head painted black with red and yellow feathers for hair and white sea shells for eyes and teeth.
There were books. There was furniture.
There was a $00 air conditioner and a $5
refrigerator.
Theersa Guitierrez, 2007 Kentucky St. said Saturday she was holding her garage door shut.
Two veteran garage sale goers holding their own sale, Ruben and Zara Marchoski, 1924 Kentucky St., said they had bought most of their furniture at a garage sale.
"I guess you can find what you're looking for it you look hard enough," she said.
Mrs. Marchoski said that in the course of their search for furniture last summer, they had a lot of sales and that at one they found a man who hobby was making pine wood fur-
Mrs. Marchoski said, "We had just gotten married and were preparing to furnish a house. We came to Lawrence with what was in our car.
"We started one weekend and looked for what we wanted. A lot of times you can find things cheaper. And a lot of times you can find services."
While Mrs. Marshocki was talking, a station wagon drove by, slowed down and pulled away.
"We contracted with him to make two
a coffee and an end table for $50." the
salesman
"Usually, we see some cars go by and just look," she said.
Another car drove by and pulled into the drive way. An elderly woman cheerfully greeted the Marchoski and proceeded to examine the contents of the porch.
"I just dropped by," she said. "I was just looking for little knackknacks. You know,
it's fun. I just buy whatever catches my fancy."
Shc `'aft when nothing did.`
Mrs. Marchiowski said the woman was typical of garage sausage hunters. Many people ate the sausages themselves.
"They always think that there's something better at the next one," she said. "I don't know."
Some garage sale goers can't resist buying something, however.
The garage sale at 20 Saturday Guadalhati lasted from Thursday until Saturday and was a day's worth of sales.
Mary Ann Willems, another Ousadh participant of Thursday's sale, which took in more than $200, said, "It was packed all day. We had 75 to 100 people at least."
She attributed part of the success of the garage sale to the six cardboard stions.
Vivian Freeman, a participant in a three-family garage sale at 2006 Oudahl St., said, "the reason I don't go to (to garage sales) is because I buy too much."
"Last year we cleared $700," Willms said.
For some items, mainly tattered clothes,
Williams had a "free box."
posted around the neighborhood which announced the sale in phosphorescent paint. Another reason was her practice of marking down items that weren't selling.
"We have a box for stuff we too embarrassed to put a price on," she said. "One lady last year took the stuff out of the box and the stuff on the ground and took the box."

It's really amazing how well underwear sells," she said. "My mother-in-law's girdle comes in a pair."
Although her garage sale sold items as diverse as bike rakes (? "Yesterday," I sold a bike and a chair, but not for it!) and recycled jeans ("They really go well"), Willems said underwear turned out to be one of the most valuable.
Drive, said they were amazed by the success of their little-advertised garage sale.
Melym Brenn, 1821 Kasol Drive, said, "I just thought you have cars and cars with me."
But she wasn't dissatisfied when they didn't appear.
"This is our first garage sale," she said.
"Westarted at 17:30 and well over 100 people have stopped by. We've made $300 combined."
Brenn also noted, referring to her children, that "The kids are amazing.
"Anything they've gotten for Christmas, if they're tired of it, they'll sell real cheap, for a dime or a quarter. But if it's something they want to sell, they'll want to sell it for half price, for like $2."
A dime can buy a lot at a garage sale, a woman at the Gutterze sale said.
"You can buy a perfectly good shirt for that guy you want. Now, I know, get all my husband's shirts this way."
