Public affairs director describes commission elections as cliche

Tuesday's city commission election was a "cliche election" according to the executive director of KU's Center for Public Service.
Palumbo said, (Robert) Schumm and (Jack) Landreth were supported by the weathier areas of town, and at the other end of the cliche, (Marc) Francisco was supported by the University and the student vote."
Schumm and Landreth are both businessmen; Francisco is a 28-year-old woman.
Donald Bins, Marcel Francisco and Robert Schummer were elected. Bins, the incumbent mayor and director of Lawrence High School's extension program, led all candidates with 3,666 votes.
Following him were Francisco, a staff member of Architectural Services and a part-time instructor at KU, with 3$80 votes; and James, a part-time instructor at UT, with 2$50 votes.
Unsuccessful candidates were Jack Landreth, owner of a local insurance company, 3,172, and Florence "Danny" Damry, owner of a local insurance company.
SCHUMM, WHO won a two-year term, was especially strong in the new sections of town. His biggest winning percentage was in the northwest corner of the city, where he won 26 percent of the votes and in the central and in the southwest corner he won 24 percent of the votes.
The south side of Lawrence supported Schumm with 22 percent of the votes.
Palumbo said the middle-class and blue-collar segments tended to vote for Francisco, who came in second and won a four-year term. She was strong in Oread, East Lawrence, Pinckney and Old West Lawrence neighborhoods.
Francisco had the three highest percentages of vote in any of the precincts. At the two polling places for Oread, South Park and the Methodist Church, she won 35 percent and 29 percent of the votes, respectively.
In East Lawrence she won 30 percent of the vote.
Polumbo said Bimbs, who won a second four-year term, drew support from both sides of the economic scale.
Binnis' support was from a mixed group across the city. BINNS held four precincts, but was second in 10 precincts. The highest percentage of Binnis was in the southeast of Massachusetts and 14th streets. It is also significant that Binnis placed second in the areas where both Francisco and San Diego were located.
"He drew support from both factors," Palumbo said.
Landreth won North Lawrence with 24 percent but was closely followed by Francisco with 22 percent.
Pallumbo said, "This election follows the general apathy of elections around the country."
Only 24 percent of the registered voters in Lawrence cast ballots. In the 1977 city election, 31 percent of those eligible voted.
Cracked panels on Med Center to be repaired, contractor says
A contractor said Wednesday that he would repair about 140 panels that compose the outer walls of Bell Memorial Hospital at the University of Kansas Medical Center by April 25.
The contractor, Niue DiCarlo, said, "We should be finished with the project by April 20 or 25, depending on the weather. It has to be done within three days, three days before we can do the repairs."
DiCarlo, president of V.S. DiCarlo General Contractors Inc., of Kansas City, Mb, sent a letter to the Kansas Secretary of Agriculture this week outlining his repair plan.
Last May, 140 cement panels on the hospital were found to be chipped and cracked. Dicarlo was told to repair or replace the panels.
The state had threatened to terminate his contract if he did not submit his够 bien document.
The panels have been inspected three times by state and University officials since May and have been judged unacceptable each time.
The state is withholding about $350,000 from DiCarlo on his $1.25 million contract agreement.
Jerry Dickson, an assistant attorney,
jerry.dickson@usb.edu, said the state had not decided yet if he would file his own suit.
Dickson was appointed last year to handle problems concerning Med. Center building
Dickson said the Clinical Facilities Executive Committee, which inspects the building's facilities, is in charge.
DiCarlo said his company had had trouble completing work on the hospital because there had been three state architects in Kansas in the past two years.
"We've had some problems working under so many administrators," DiCarlo said. "They each have their own ideas. We need to make sure we get a new architect who doesn't like it."
Despite the cracks and chips, DiCarlo said, the panels are structurally sound.
"It's really a minor problem," he said. "It's an aesthetic matter."
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
One day, Abraham, friend of God, was sitting in his tent door in 'the heat of the day.' They felt it gets mighty hot in room, 120 degrees or more. However, not far from where he was seated, the temperature suddenly jumped up maybe ten thousand degrees, or a million, as it began raining and water started to pour into the room. The nuclear blast occurs the rocks and sand melt, run out afterwards and cake up it appears, though, that the fire that fell from room is even warmer than it was even hotter, for it not only melted but consumed stone.
Note the powerful effect of the prayer and pleading on God's Friends, Abraham, who a few hours before "Stood before the Lord" The Angel told Lot to get his folks and ketches him up. Then he asked the angel, the Angel, hurry it up, and get out of here I canna! Abraham thou come thither — into another city' Abraham's DO made the Angel powerless until Lot got it! CANNOT DO First, he must be — an Angel of deliverance if he could be 'an Angel of destruction' Genesis 19:22
Should not this be a great encouragement to Friends of God? However, let us beaware of presumption, and not forget the qualifications of such a friendship. In John 15:14 Christ gave to the church the word 'mandeed you,' and in Luke 6:46 'And why call ye Me. Lord, Lord, and do not the things which say?" Abraham believed God, and did what he said. Abraham abgave God what He asked of him. And Abraham was
called "The Friend of God."
In Luke 17:28-30 we read these words of Christ:
Likewise ALL AS IT WAS AS IT DOKES OF LOT; THEY
WERE PLANTED, THEY PLANTED, THEY PLANTED,
THEY PLANTED, THEY PLANTED, BUT THE SAME DAY
that LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM IT RAINED FIRE and
BRISTMINE FROM HEAVEN, AND DESTROYED THEM.
THEY WILL BE IN THE DAY THE TOM OF MAN IS REVEALLED!
We are sure like Sodom in our eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building. But there were other things Sodom was doing for which she has been noted and infamous down through the about 4,000 years since that time. We have no reason to believe crimes, deviates, perverts, etc. great crime takes it name from Sodom. This 19th Chapter of Genesis reveals that the homosexuals actually undertook to attack the Angels of God off, striking them with blindness; they
God's true people should pray we may have a genuine revival of vital faith and religion to sweep over our land that establish righteousness that will cause men "to fear God, receive His Commandments, which is the whole duty of man."
