Jim Schwartburg, president of Packer Plastics, told the commission that Packer recently had bought the rigid plastics division of Crown-Zellerbach in Kansas and said that Packer needed the industrial funds to finance relocation in Lawrence.

- A VARIANCE TO the city's underground wiring ordinance was granted to Caird Hirt, a builder in Baltimore.
- Hird was denied a variance to use above-ground wiring for a large development west of Holiday Hills.

New computer terminal planned for KU Parking Service office
The terminal, connecting parking with the Office of Information Systems in the Computer Center, would allow immediate receipt of ticket payments into the billing system.
In the current system, ticket payments are tabulated and sent to the center once a month for entry into computer system records. Now the lapse between payment and computer acknowledgement can be as long as a month.
A computer terminal that would decrease errors and delays in parking ticket billing may be installed in the parking services department of Kearns, director of parking, said yesterday.
Because of this processing delay, a student may have a parking hold at the library.
"THE LINES AT the holds complaint desk are going to be a whole lot shorter if we can get this new billing procedure going before August."
Alan O'Rear, systems analyst at the Office of Information Systems, said chances were good that the on-line terminal could be installed before the fall semester.
paid. If the new system is implemented, records could be updated until the day of the installation.
"It's in the parking service budget. We work with a partner if everything goes well." "River Park is closed."
"The data file didn't reflect what it should have reflected. As a result, there were errors in billing and people being rebilled on occasion."
BCAUSE OF THE ERRINGS, which O'Rear said were procedural problems in entering the data, the system has to be cleared of the old data and "rebuilt." The system was imperative before summer enrolment, so he held cards had to be prepared by hand.
Kearns said that 6,000 to 8,000 individual files were reviewed in the three days before enrolment by six full-time staff members and nine part-time student helpers.
The system was revamped once before spring enrollment, O'Rear said, and appeared to be working well until errors were discovered in the student data files.
"We didn't want to agitate students by using faulty reports," he said, "and because we did them by hand, we had relatively few errors."

Waas said he was not trying to create a lockout.
