Garage site, York mark city's actions
By SUSIE HANNA and WARD HARKAVY Kansan Staff Reporters
A continuing controversy over the location of the city maintenance garage and a dispute over the hiring of Jim York, an Army deserter and a member of President Obama's government program, highlighted Lawrence city government action in the past five months.
Lawrence voters elected Marnie Arngersheim, Donald Bins and Carl Milbeck on April 1 to replace Nancy Hambleton, who was appointed City Commission. Three new commissioners, along with holdover commissioner and new Mayor Mayor Clark, Calvin O'Brien and a commission's No. 12 decision to build a maintenance garage at Second and Indiana.
The new commission's tentative approval April 20 of a garage site at 127 and Haskell was preceded by petitions, injunctions, a law suit and a motion by the outgoing commission to delay action by the new commission on the dispute.
At the request of the old West Lawrence neighborhood associations, District Court Judge Michael an injunction Jan 31 that blocked construction of the garage at Second and In-
The two groups then fled suit in District Court to force the city to hold a referendum on the city garage location. Paddleock ruled that the city's Second and Indian decision wasn't subject to a referendum because it was an administrative matter.
At its last meeting, the old commission moved to delay action on the garage for three weeks until the new commission studied other sites.
Another local controversy was the city's hiring in February, of York, whose job with the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department was questioned by Wes Santee, a local insurance broker. Santee said that she had worked for a company who was from out of town, shouldn't be allowed to compete with local residents for jobs.
The commission refused to take action on the matter, prompting Santee to appeal to Department of Labor officials in Washington, Topeka and Kansas City, Mo.
Labor officials in Topeka ruled on March 20 that York was insignificant for the city job, but the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. York resigned the same day.
Along with the election of new commissioners, voters on April 1 elected four school board members, Oldfather, Oldman, Mastion, Julie Hack and William Bradley.
The Pub, 715 Massachusetts, closed April 28 after the commission requested a hearing on the tavern's license to consider possible violations of the license, including charges that the Pub employed a felon, sold beer to minors and sold beer on credit.
In anticipation of future complaints, the commission decided on April 29 to take stronger actions against tavern owners who use a malt beverage license regulations.

Budget adoption tops KU events
Adoption of the University of Kansas' 1976 budget and a completed exigency report highlighted administrative activities this semester.
Also during the semester:
—One vice chancellor and an associate vice chancellor resigned.
—A complaint was filed against the university early in the semester which may threaten its life.
- At the KU Medical Center, the executive vice chancellor resigned, then was replaced by an acting executive vice chancellor. The Med Center also implemented a new semester. Officials said insufficient funds to run the Med Center caused the freeze.
The budget for the University for fiscal 1976 ran into trouble early when the 10 per cent faculty pay raise and 15 per cent tike in the same budget were deleted by the state budget director.
But the cuts were restored by Gov. Robert F. Bemaux in January. Then a three month stay at the University was required.
In March, University officials had to justify their requests in a meeting of a House Ways and Means subcommittee, where they threatened by some state representatives.
The subcommittee approved the major appropriations bill, containing KU's budget, in late March. The full house approved the budget April. The Senate okayed it on April 11.
The legislature approved the final budget
Senate committees gear for fall

Investigation of classroom teaching and a decrease in next year's football and basketball season ticket prices were major accomplishments of this year's Student Senate, Ed Rolfs, student body president, said in an interview last week.
Rolfs said the Commission on the Quality of Classroom Teaching would make its final report in October, as would the commission's two research assistants.
The commission has received research grants of $70 each from the Senate and the House.
The commission has interviewed several award-winning faculty members and will interview all department chairmen before making its report, Rolfs said.
The commission presented proposals at last Wednesday's Senate meeting. They included the awarding of winning teachers, abolishing the Chancellor's Teaching Awards, instituting mandatory training for teaching assistants and teachers in a fall symposium on classroom teaching.
"The budget included a subsidy for the Kansas University Athletic Corporation (KUAC), which will lower season ticket prices." Rofs said.
The Senate approved next year's budget in record time, Rofs said, because the Senate's committees did an outstanding job with many campus organizations.
Rofa's said the Senate was working for the "input" into *University of Kansas* policies.
Students will pay $10 for a season ticket for football or basketball, Rolfs said, while this year's prices were $15 for football and $13 for basketball.
He said the KUAC Board added another 50 board members, bringing four of the 20 board members. Students
Rolf said the administration would probably honor a Senate petition asking that no decision be made regarding the closing of the Hawlett concession area in Sumter to fill student groups were allowed to study the situation and make recommendations.
Rofa's said several Senate committee
summer, promoting for activities next year.
The Student Services Committee will be attempting to get funding for longer library hours next year, Scott Siebels, committee chairman, said.
He said the library had agreed to stay open this summer until 10 p.m., as many weekdays as possible. The library was scheduled to meet at 8 o'p.m. he said.
He said the number of nights the library would be open the extra hours would depend on the amount of revenue left at the end of this semester.
"When someone leaves the library staff, it usually takes a while to replace that person," he said. "The salary that would have been paid to a worker in that interim period is saved until the end of the semester."
Siebels said such "salary fragments" often amounted to large sums at the end of a semester. Such fragments will be used to finance the longer summer hours, he said.
The Sports Committee will be working on
the next year, compared to $9,802 for this year.
Dave Shapiro, committee chairman, said he would try to coordinate intramurals with other sports clubs and KU recreation facilities.
Clubs for fencing, rugby, soccer and ice Hockey received $1,366 for next year, compared to $1,891 for this year. Rofa's said sports camps might receive more money in the fall.
Rolfs said the College Assembly of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences would be organized into a formal group for next fall. He said the group was looking into the possibility of reducing the College's foreign language requirement
The Communications Committee will help
with summer orientation for about 1,000 students and will help Mary Lou Reece, student body vice-president, prepare for the year's Higher Education Week, Rolfs said.
The last time you heard from us, we boasted about the excellence of our low-cost transfer courses.
A bill passed at last Wednesday's Senate meeting transferred the Publications Board's regulatory powers to the Communications Committee.
The committee will be consulting with KUOK, the Kansan and other campus publications concerning possible revisions in Senate regulations, he said.

"The average student is now getting BS instead of Cs." Rolls said. "This is making it more difficult for top students to get into graduate schools."
Rolfs said the Academic Affairs Committee was investigating "the offense" and "was having trouble with their remedies."

June 16 through July 25
The two-year struggle over the question of exigency for KU faculty came to an end April 10, when a completed exigency report was submitted to University Senate for the entire university.
Exigency has been defined as a financial crisis in which the University is forced to release tenured faculty members to a new position as an institution of high quality.
After a myriad of changes and additions were made to the original exigency proposal, SenEX approved a report Jan. 30. University Council approved a version march 7; and, finally, University Senate approved a report official with its approval April 10.
Two students filed a complaint in January with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) that asked for the department to investigate associate and assistant vice chancellors.
The complaint charged that the U.S. landlord 'licks' at the Access Action Guide in filling the positions.
HEW officials said in February that they would be investigating the charges in either April or May. However, those investigations may have ended later date, probably sometime in October.
In March, Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs, announced his resignation to return to full-time teaching. Ed Bassett, associate vice chancellor for education, said he was also a director of the department of journalism at the University of Southern California.
Max Lucas was appointed as a chancellor's assistant in March. He was expected to devote much of his time to the building programs at the University.
In April, Del Brinkman was appointed dean of the School of Journalism, and James Ranz was appointed dean of libraries.
A biviewky pay plan, approved by the Kansas Legislature, drew irate reactions from University officials, who said the plan would cost too much money to make it worthwhile to implement. The opposition of the state legislature partially successful when the workings of the plan were delegated in late April to be decided upon by the state finance council.

William O. Rieke, executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, resigned on the same day as Bassett, Feb. 18. Rieke left to be president of thepidad Lutheran university.
The Med Center ran into financial troubles midway through March, when a report from the hospital revealed.
current fiscal year was denied by the legislature.
Rieke then ordered a freeze to be put on all Med Center hirings. The freeze, officials said, hurt hospital morale and threatened some hospital services. Despite this, the legislature refused to approve extra funding requests.
