Summer Session Kansan
Commission...

contractors studied the code and said its adoption was necessary to avoid faulty and inefficient energy systems from being installed by "fk-yhighty" contractors.
WATSON HAD RECOMMENDED adoption of the code but was against the extra budget cost needed to provide enforcement personnel.
However the commission voted to budget $14,000 to hire an inspector for the code. About $7,000 of this cost will be made up through project costs and to assist management Mr. Wilkerson.
The $7,000 was the only increase to the city manager's budget, which was completed last week. The budget will become the 1980 city budget after an Aug. 7 public hearing.
"We're not increasing a lot of staff," Watson said. "But we're giving good service to our customers."
The budget for 1980, without the added inspector, was £21,638.709 Watson said.
Emery Scott, owner of the oldest air conditioning and heating contracting firm in Lawrence, said the $14,000 would not be enough to hire a qualified person.
"I AM JUST as interested in not raising the city budget," he said. "But a qualified inspector would have to be a licensed engineer, and he wouldn't work for less than $20,000 to $25,000 a year. Add to that a car that is not on display." You could end, would End with a hymn.
But Gene Shaughnessy, city building inspector, disagreed. He said the car and
secretary were not necessary and that a good man could be hired for $14,000.
we are looking for a happy medium between the genius and the plumbing inspector she looks at a job for 15 minutes," he said.
Shaughnessy announced that Dale Kerr, a contractor who worked under Scott, was hired to install the system.
"The code doesn't do any good without enforcement," Shaughnessy said. "And we
One possibility that had been discussed was to adopt the code and let the existing system do it.
"I think the code and its enforcement will eliminate some of the shoddy work that has been done."

protection and they didn't want someone taking a cut of the money they made.
"The guys that pick us up aren't the kind of people that want any trouble," he said. "They pick us up and drive us back as fast as they can."
Most of the boys said that they were bixeal, but that they didn't get any women customers. One, however, said he had serviced a woman earlier this summer.
"She sent some young guy downtown in a Cadillac, and the guy picked me up," he said. "He told me that there was a woman waiting in a hotel about half a mile away
and that she'd pay me a hundred bucks to spend the night."
The woman looked about thirty, he said, and she took his phone number before he caught a bus home the next morning. He said he hadn't heard from her since.
Detective Thomas Marcus of the Juvenile Division said some homosexual prostitution was going on in other parts of the city, but it was not clear why. "I don't think that the police didn't spend any time on it."
"At least 95 percent of the action is taking place downtown with the kids," he said. "In the last five years or so it's gotten easy for gays to go into bars, or to the Liberty
Memorial, and take guys home for free.
They don't need to pay for it."
He said he assumed the only joys cruising the downtown area were older men who didn't know how to go about picking up another guy.
"The kids are down there, and the old guys have money, so that's where they go," he said. "A lot of them probably have a wife at home and they want to keep it all quiet."
So the cars continue their slow procession under the orange streetlights, from McGee to 11th, Oak and on 12th Street. A car moves down Oak and on the kids jumps in and the car drives away.

The self-report on KU's compliance with Title IX was dated June 1978, but was not released to AAPU committee members. The report is a document, which is not for public release,
Stereotyping, an ad hoc committee formed in 1977 by administrators.
The AAUP members at the meeting decided to ask for representation at the next meeting when the report is discussed by the KU vice chancellors.

During the discussion, the professors said
they were disappointed with the administration because it did not publicize its efforts.
"It may be difficult to legislate morality, but I see a need for public pressure and a priority for this problem," Evelyn Swartz, professor of curriculum and instruction, said.
Asbestos . . .

However, Mel Gray of the state Department of Health said earlier this month that his office would respond to a complaint by a lawyer who was as soon as an investigator was available.
CRANE SAID THAT the EPA would offer advice and technical assistance to anyone requesting it, but that some schools have not been given the materials by following the assessment program.

"Usually, the asbestos surface can be treated with a sealer that will prevent it from causing any harm." Gray said. "We
The EPA would also act on a request by a KU official that a building be inspected for asbestos, Wolfgang Brandner, inspection manager in Kansas City, Ms. said earlier this month.
After an investigation is completed, Wiechert said, the University would make corrections in the areas where asbestos was found.
ONE KU OFFICIAL, Allen Wiechtler,
University director of facilities planning,
said earlier this month that he would ask the
state for funds to conduct an investigation to
determine whether asbestos existed in KU
buildings.
Exposure to damaged asbestos, according to the EPA, has been associated with lung cancer. It was initially associated with a debilitating lung disease called asbestosis.
Five other buildings on campus may contain asbestos according to architectural specifications. They are: the Kansas Union, Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall, Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, Nunemaker Center and McCollum Hall.

"This is a band of many colors and stripes. Once you've pegged it as a conventional 12-bar blues unit, it launches into a harumare with three faddies solving in unison, a seemingly incompatible tenor saxophone solo and the leader's own acoustic guitar segment. It's bluegrass with adrenalin and you canuck into a dozen New Year's Eve."

"His story-songs are recounted with a rascal's sense of delivery; one gets the impression that Bromberg is usually one step ahead of the sheriff while boasting about his latest scam. But it is nearly impossible not to listen to what he has to say, to laugh or wonder what he will be up to next as he describes the encounter in Bandi in a Bathing Suit is Bromberg's burglaric travelogue in which the listener is always invited along for the ride."
