Tracey Noll, co-producer of the pageant and former Miss Topeka 1983, said future plans will be to get Cobb into the public eye.

County is allowed to finance highway without public vote
by Carrie Harper Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Court of Appeals on Friday upheld a district court decision that the Douglas County Commission could issue bonds for the proposed South Lawrence Trafficway without holding a special elect
The appeals court said that the county had the home-rule power to issue general obligation bonds to the highway construction project.
project.
Home rule means that a local government may rule itself and take action not mandated by the Kansas Legislature, said Gerald Cooley, city attorney.
The appeals court also upheld the dismissal of the city of Lawrence as a defendant in the suit, saying that the issue was not properly addressed in the appeal.
Leslie Blevins Sr., the Lawrence resident who filed the suit in 1987, said that the city was included in the suit because the proposed trafficway was both inside and outside city limits.
"They had no reason to bring the city of Lawrence into the suit," Cooley said.

The suit challenged the sale of bonds without a public vote.
The case was dismissed in the Douglas County District Court by Judge James Paddock, who decided that the county had properly issued notice.
"We need a referendum for people to decide whether we need a traffic-way before we decide how to fund it," Blevins said.
The county approved the bond issue in 1985 and had begun selling the bonds when Blevins filed the lawsuit. Blevins said that the county did not wait the 60 days required by Kansas law to allow public protest or petitions before issuing bonds.

2nd round of hearings brings cuts from finance committee
Kansan staff writer
by Stan Diel
Recreation Services and Recreation Facilities Management were two of 10 organizations whose budgets were cut yesterday in the second and final round of revenue code hearings by the Student Senate Finance Committee. Two groups, KU Bands and Forenses, were cut in the first round but had money reinstated yesterday.
Recreation Services, which requested $237,000, had its budget request cut to $115,000. It received $97,791 in 1988-89.
Chris Shirling, Student Senate treasurer, said Senate could not afford to allocate more.
"This would allow them to operate at current levels with a slight increase for unforeseen expenditures. I know they need more but we just don't have the money." Shirling said.
Recreation Facilities Management, which received $76,125 in
1988-89, requested $192,000 and was
allocated $90,000.
KU Forensics' budget was cut from last year's allocation of $11,344 to $1,100 in the first round and moved to last year's level
The first cut was made because of a Senate rule that said travel expenses, a major portion of Forensic's budget, could not be financed by Senate. Finance committee co-chairman Paul Leader said a rule naming Forensics and several other organizations as exceptions was found and the financing was reinstated.
KU Bands, which received $53.747 in 1988-89, had its request for $78.820 to pay $39.760 in the first quarter of 1993, an increase to $67,000 yesterday.
Band's financing was increased in hopes that the band would not come to Senate requesting supplementary funding.
memat financing to pay for the Jayhawk Jazz Festival, Leader said.
"The last two years Senate has been angry with this group because we have had to fund the campaign in supplemental." Leader said.
In other action taken by the committee:
■ Legal Services for Students' request of $182,718 was cut to $145,717. The service received $127,657 in 1988-89.
■ KJHK FM's request of an average for $78,116 for 1999-91 was cut to $36.000. KJHK received $31,382 in 1988-89.
■ KU on Wheels’ request for $85,354 was cut to $137,000. KU on Wheels received $302,000 in 1988-89
