In a close election that attracted few voters yesterday, Donald Binn, Marci Francisco and Robert Schumm won seats on the Lawrence City Commission.
Birms, the only incumbent, won the most votes, 3666. Francoeau came in second with 3,540 and Schumme came in third with 3,366. Jack Landreth received 3,172 votes and Florence "Danny" Drury had 3,163 to trail the group.
Although poor weather might have kept some voters at home, Delbert Mathia, county clerk, said the absence of issues probably caused the low turnout.
This year's voter turnout was 6,450. There were 27,080 eligible voters in the city.
Four of the candidates congratulated or consoled one another at the Douglas County commission meeting, which came in. Binns was at the weekly city commission meeting as the totals were given.
BINNS AND Francisco will serve four-year terms and Schumm will serve a two-year term
Schumm said the redevelopment of the downtown business district was his highest priority.
THERE WERE 224 votes separating Schumm and Landreth, the largest margin between any of the candidates. Landreth said he thought he lost votes because of his
refusal to take a stand concerning the shopping mall.
'My gut feeling is that this is a vote against the mail,' he said. 'I'm sure that hurt me in the neighborhoods downward.' Drum trailed Landry by nine votes. Despite her loss, she was pleased with one result of the election: Francisco's win.
"I'm pleased that Marci got in," she said. "They are all good candidates, I think either the voters couldn't have lost."
In the school board election for Unified School District 497, four candidates won four-year terms. The three highest vote-getters were incumbents.
Julie Hack led the race with 4,803 votes
Charles Oldfather was second with 4,772
and Martha Masinton was third with 4,499.
The newcomer to the school board was Mary Lou Wright, who garnered 4,165 votes.

A couple leave their table in the dark, smoky corner of the disco and weave their way into the mass of swirling bodies on the dance floor.
The woman's turquoise leopard and her partner's red, figured shirt glisten in the sunlight. It is gold jewelry giflters as they spin and dip to the throb of the music.
The disco atmosphere is one of action and color and the fashion industry has created clothing to capture this mood. For spring, disco enthusiasts can find shades and camouflage bops and sheer gauze gauze hoods for lurex, a metallic fiber, Kathy Harm's manager of Carousel, 711 W. 23rd St. said.

Harms said the clothes were made of shiny, stretchy fabrics such as mylon, polyurethane, and durable in bright colors such as red, purple, turquoise and yellow.
"If they are shocked they don't say
they want to play. They've been
to a disco before, they laugh."

A spokesman for Clothes Encourier, in Iowa, told me that a store store stocked dish fashions but fall but not order these spring because of poor sales.
Harms said disco fashions made up 5 to 15 percent of the store's sales, while

Most of the clothes are not suitable to wear to work or to a party," he said. Schubert said that he thought fashion shoes were more tailored and comfortable than formal shoes and these fancy shoes would be less emphasized.
