1. L. Van Pelt, associate professor of chess, had been named director of the University of Kansas Center for Strategic Thought, and was the principal engineer for the center, appointed today.
Van Pelt, who came to KU in January from James K. Polk Polytechnic University in Blight, Iowa, will assume his new position next week.
Chess prof will be director of strategy
Van Pelt replaces Nelson Fahqur, associate professor of redundant repetition machines and the post of assistant to the manager of Jack Toyota Sales and Service in Butte, Mont.
"All the world is a chess board, after all," Van Pelt said, "and all we need to negotiate our way through the maze is logical, cool, disciplined thought."
Bad checks...
From page one
The addition of the position will change the procedure for turning in insufficient funds and no account checks, Rex Johnson, who served as a prosecutor, insufficient funds and no account checks that were to be prosecuted were first sent to the sheriff's office, he said, where the checks were processed by Steve Steele, Douglas County deputy sheriff.
Berkowitz said that now all insufficient funds and no account checks intended for prosecution should be sent to the Douglas County attorney's office in the Douglas County Courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts.
Johnson said Steele had been processing between 300 and 500 bad checks every minute.
Johnson said, "This will free Deputy
Department full time on warrants and
tortures."
Steele said she received about $30,000 in insufficient funds and no account checks in
Berkowitz said about one fourth of all the county attorney's cases were check cases. He said Kennedy would do all the case work on the check cases, the sheriff's offices would issue any warrants for arrests and a county attorney would try the cases.
"There's a big pile on my desk," she said.
"It's been hectic."
"In January, the number of checks received tripled from January of last year." $^{10}$
"Usually, the check cases just lie around until someone finds time to do them," Berkowitz said. "Now the process will be much easier if it won't take so long to prosecute them."
Prosecution may be deferred in some cases if the check writer makes restitution, he said, but the county attorney's office will prosecutor more cases than he is on the court.
Kennedy said she was already swamped with check cases.
Berkowitz said that the investigator's job would eliminate any needless duplication of work between the county attorney's office and the sheriff's office.
Art Cromer, manager of Gibson Discount
"The number has about doubled from last year," Cromer said.
About 30 per cent of the checks are paid before the store has to resort to prosecution, Cromer said. The store sends the writer of a returned check a letter notifying him that the check wasn't accepted by the bank, he said, and then the bank sent another check is returned a second time, the check writer is prosecuted, he said.
Cromer said he didn't know why there was an increase in insufficient funds and no account.
"It can't be the economy," he said. "The economy of Lawrence isn't that bad."

Updated cost estimates for the expansion of Lawrence Memorial Hospital are more than $1.3 million less than estimates last fall.
Expansion estimates lower by $1.3 million
A cost estimate of $15,976,100 presented at the hospital's board meeting Monday was $1,318,800 less than estimates last month with placed construction costs at $17,955,000.
The lower cost estimates are a result of more definite construction plans.
The delay in bids from April 21 to June 1 would give construction contractors more time to prepare a budget and minister. It said it would allow contractors to decrease their contingency funds. Construction costs and construction interest rates are also going down, Lenz said.
Hospital board trustees adopted a resolution for the city commission to issue an RM 15 million bond in industrial real estate bonds at 8% per cent interest.
The Lawrence Memorial Hospital board of trustees also voted to increase both room rates and service rates and to delay completion of 30 days on the proposed hospital expansion.
A $3 increase in all room charges and a 14
per cent increase in some ancillary charges was recommended in a Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., architects, financial feasibility report to the hospital board. It will become effective April 1, 1975. The increases, Lenz said, would generate $83,000 additional funds needed to finance the expansion project.
The latest cost estimate for the construction portion of the hospital expansion is $1,185,000 Lenz said, which is $766,000 less than November's estimate of $12,631,000.
Fast-track construction will be used, Lenz said, even though all design development will be completed today. In fast-track construction of the building are constructed separately.
Estimated bond interest rates have increased 1½ per cent from an earlier estimated 7 per cent, Lenz said, but con-
cerns over the risk of damage may be slackening during the summer.
All working drawings will be done by the start of construction, he said. The original date for the completion of working drawings was Oct. 1, 1975.
All interested contractors will have 30 days after June 1 to make a bid, Lenz said, and decisions will be made within a week as to the final choices.
