Museum progress
Thursday, June 19. 1975
Construction worker Clifford Moore wipes his brow as he prepares to go back to work at the site of the Spencer Museum of
Art, now under construction. Total cost of the project is expected to be $4.5 million including equipment and landscape.
KU building to cost $20 million
Construction of three new buildings and expansion of existing ones should provide an additional 300,000 square feet of office, classroom and storage space for the University of Kansas at a cost of more than $20 million.
Construction is under way for the new home of the School of Law. The structure will be located near Allen Field House on the west edge of the main campus. The five-floor building will replace Green Hall, which has housed the school since 1905. The
Garage settlement called result of city cooperation
Final approval of the Lawrence city garage site came Tuesday after more than a year's controversy. But it's a clear example of what cooperation between City Manager Buford Watson, the City Commission members and the people can accomplish.

"When the bids came in at $27,000 for the Haskell siteBufrod Watson asked whether we would be reconsidered, commissioned or not. If yes, they three new commissioners shook our heads because we had promised those people in our office that we'd eliminin Ray's Savile yard."
Watson showed them his proposed site north of the salvage yard. Then he showed them the "monster tree," a popular land-mark which is in the midst of a heavily wooded five acre area he had earlier proposed as a park, she said.

ANALYSIS
Watson and many other city managers so effective." Armeringer said.
The search for an acceptable site on which to build the city maintenance garage building, the public office and his staff recommended Second and Indiana streets to the commission as the location of the new headquarters.
The commission, after a series of hearings and much debate, approved the Second and Indiana site. District Judge Jampe Parkdock, at the request of the Old Red Hat Association, and other associations, issued an injunction Jan. 31 blocking the construction of the garage.
New commissioners, Marnie Argergster, Carl Mibek and Donald Binns, were elected in April on platforms opposing the garage site.
The 12th and Haskell site was tentatively approved April 29 by the commission. However, when the appraisal of the proposed site was more than twice the $100,000 estimated, the commissioners had to reconsider their decision.
Watson and his staff developed an alternative plan using 10.7 acres north of Orville Ray's Garage and Salvage Yard on the east side of Haskell Avenue and 24
acres west of Haskell Avenue for the construction of the maintenance garage. This plan left the salvage yard intact, and also provided 1.7 acres for a community park.
The site plan that was finally approved by the commission included a screen for the salvage yard and a five-acre park north of the salvage yard. The Far East Lawrence Improvement Association has the right to choose equipment for the park.
law school library will occupy most of the space in the $4.9 million structure, which will also contain classrooms, offices and seminar rooms.
The $3.75 million addition to Learned Hall, to house a large part of the School of Engineering, will be completed sometime this fall. The two new floors and the fivestory wing at the east end of the structure are almost completed.
The rationale behind the commission-manager system is to give policy making power to an elected body, and to give administrative powers to an appointed person.
Part of the expansion calls for the construction of a walkway tunnel to be built beneath the existing bridge.
The old mechanical engineering shops have already been razed to make room for a new visual arts structure which will be located on the northeast corner of 15th and Naismith streets and will surround and include Fowler Hall.
A new museum of art, which will be one of the finest university art museums in the nation, according to Chancellor Archie Walters, directly west of the Kansas Union.
The Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art is being financed by a large gift from the Spencer Foundation. The gift represents the university's endowment ever given to the University.
Enrollment plan delayed

Computerized pre-enrollment won't be available before the fall of 1976, Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.
"We had hoped to implement it as early as the coming spring," he said.
The arrival of the computer system or systems has been delayed one or two months, but is expected sometime in the early spring of 1976, Shankel said.
"The computer vendors have asked for more time to examine bids, and we need more time to evaluate the proposals that the different companies will make," he said. "We're not going to use specifications are legal, so it won't look like we're favoring one company over another."
The University specifies the type of

Topekan shelters Vietnam family
The Do family is the first of a group of 38 Vietnamese refugees whose relocation in Kansas Manning and his family are sponsoring.
By next week, the Mannings may need much more room than that.
Ark, one of three refuge camps the federal government has established for processing the Vietnamese refugees, to cut through the border from Vietnam to Canada, from fanning out across the nation.
Montgomery Ward & Co., the fourth largest general retailer in the nation, has been given an unwilling equal employment opportunity performance rating and has been removed from the national Project Equality Buyer's guide.
Manning, 47, said he applied for the families through the Catholic Social Service of Kansas City, Kan., because it seemed to be the most effective way to apply.
A delicatessen, built into the wall and
possible to the kitchen is a possible addi-
tion.
The action by the national board of directors of Project Equality was announced last week in Kansas City, Mo., by the Kansas State University and the Kansas-Missouri regional program.
TOPEKA (AP)—The Rev. Max L. Manning, his wife and their two teen-age children slept in the basement of their Topeka home last night.
"We suspect we'll have just vending, and thus on a very restrictive basis, just candy and the chocolate."
The Do family arrived by airplane yesterday morning. A second family is expected by Friday, and a third and a fourth will follow-perhaps by next week.
"We look at the company as a whole to review their work force pattern—whether they have minorities employed—and we wonder if hiring new employees doesn't have hidden barriers to minority groups," Calver said. "After the corporate structure is analyzed, and the company becomes more difficult to make sure equal employment practices are used at the lower levels."
The action was a result of Montgomery Ward president Sidney McKnight's refusal to allow employment opportunity reviews of selected Ward's facilities.
Forrest Jolly, manager of Kansas Union
"This does not necessarily mean Montgomery Ward has discriminatory employment procedures but that is possible," she said. "I was the director of Project Equity, said Tuesday.
Project Equality began as a Catholic organization and is now a national corporeal organization, a religious backgrounds. A nationwide emphasis on evaluation of equal employment opportunities of national retailers has been achieved by the national Project Equality program.
Manning recently went to Ft. Chaffee.
He said he wanted large families because of publicity that the large families were having an especially difficult time finding sponsors.

Mammals' three bedrooms.
"The service would speed up, there would be better sanitation, and the food would be kept farther away from the customer," he added. "It's much more personal than a vending machine."
The "Antiquities," a barbershop quartet, will also perform. The quartet is composed of Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor; Karen Burrows, the quartet; Dick Wright, station manager of KANU; Ralph Christofferson, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs; and Charles Oldman, former professor of law at the University of Washington. His father is also president of the symphony.
potent as Lawrence supported a community symphony orchestra, especially with the tremendous amount of talent to be found in the city. He was also a local municipality," Bavel said. "There are many towns smaller than Lawrence with not nearly the talent, with established or emerging talent."
Manning said there wasn't that much red tape compared to other government operations, but also said, "I've been around in the drug war, it's a lot of confusion and foot-dragging."
The quartet was formed about two years ago when the Friends of the Arts needed someone to perform at a party, Oldfather said.
The orchestra includes many KU students and teachers. George Lawner, director of KU's University Symphony Orchestra and the Music Director, guest director for the first three concerts.
A symphony orchestra doesn't always play Beethoven, and the Lawrence Symphony wants to show that a concert can be made by a group of musicians directed for the symphony, said yesterday.
A counter selling candy, cigarettes, blue books and ball point pens, like the Union's candy card, may also be added, Jolly said.

Zamir Bavel, professor of computer science and a former member of the Israeli Symphony and Israeli Opera, is concertmaster.
The Lawrence Symphony will present "Pop Concert of American Music," an informal concert, at 8:15 tonight at the Free State Opera House. The concert will include selections from "Porgy and Bess," "West Side Story" and "Jesus Christ Superstar."
"We don't take ourselves seriously," he said. "We just have fun."
Symphony to offer pop concert
This will be the fourth performance of the symphony. It was organized in the spring of 1973 by the Lawrence Friends of Music to give talented teachers, students and members of the community a chance to work together. Worth said.
Manning is pastor of Evangel Temple Full Gospel Church in central Topeka, a nondenominational church. He is a native of Ava, Mo.
He was in the U.S. Marines from 1945 to 52 and entered the ministry in 1964.
"It's not easy to motivate others, so I just decided to go ahead and do it myself.
He decided to become a non-demoninational minister about 10 years ago, he said, but does missionary work on the auspices of the Pentecostal Church.
"I've traveled 17 countries, among the most destitute people on this earth," Manning said. "Once you've seen people in these situations, you feel comforted to help."
"After I went to Ft. Chaffee and saw how slowly people are responding to the need of these people, I really felt compelled to help."
Manning said he accomplished in six days at Ft. Chaffe what it would take others six
He said the Do family needed clothing, food, household goods and furnishings, money—everything. Do, the only member of the family who speaks English, was in the South Vietnamese army five years and later worked for the U.S. Agency for Disaster Recovery to took a one-year course in bookkeeping and accounting. Do and his wife, natives of Hanoi, fled in
The refugees can get reimbursement for rent and food from the U.S. government, but they've got to have money to pay for those necessities first, he said.
Do and his wife, natives or ruler, lived in 1954 when that city fell to the communists.
Do said he was convinced his family would have been killed by the Communists in the takeover of South Vietnam last year, and he virtually all their possessions behind.
Manning said he hoped the publicity given the Do family and his sponsorship of the four large families would bring contributions of money and goods for the college, and help him for one job, but not a permanent one, he said. He hoped there would be others.
Culver said that Project Equality expected to publish a "Guide to Retailers"
An accepted or probation rating will be given for firms found to be working on equal employment objectives. An unaccepted rating will be given for firms whose employment program is not adequate. An unwilling rating will be given when an employer has violated the Project Equality to review the program.
McKnight, who became Ward's president last August, cancelled scheduled facility reviews and won't allow Project Equality to see the further Ward's employment activities.
Other companies being reviewed by Project Equality include W.T. Grant, F.W. Woolworth Co., Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Skagg Drug Centers. Household Finance centers include induln Stores and T.G.E.Y. family centers. The project is unwilling by the Project Equality directors.

When asked to respond to the action taken by Project Equality, Dennis Keefler, local Montgomery Ward manager, said that he had no knowledge of the action.
"My company probably isn't going to be bothered with any of this," he said. "We have enough people going through our records already. Besides, we don't have the training practices. In fact, if three black women applied today I'd probably hire them."
"Some of these companies,which employ
Keefer said that for the last five years Ward had worked very hard to equal him and his colleagues.
"They just stir up a lot of trouble sometimes," Keefer said. "If we start letting every group, religious or otherwise, meet our affairs, we're going to have chaos."
