City considers taxi fare increase
By CAROL BEIER
Staff Reporter
University Daily Kansan
Lawrence City Commission members appeared sketched of a proposal for increased taxi fares at last night's conference Meeting. Action on the proposal was deferred.
Ward Thompson, president of Transportation Corp., which includes the Yellow Cab and the Union Cab companies of Texas, answered questions from the commission.
The proposal requested that the commission change the present rate of 10 cents a fare and 10 cents for each additional one-mile mile. The commission would pay 10 cents for every one-eighth mile thereafter.
The proposal also would increase the starting time rate from $6 an hour to $8 an hour.
Under a city ordinance, the city commission has the power to veto tax rate incomes.

Tau Sigma Dance Ensemble and the University Dance Company will present their annual spring program today, in the University Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Eight dancers from the Mid-America Dance Company at Wichita State University also will perform two dances in the spring and three dances in styles ranging from ballet to jazz.
3 dance groups are entertainers in spring show
Elizabeth Sherborn, director of Tau Sigma, said nine of the dances were choreographed by KU students and faculty members. She said one of the dances was choreographed in Lobanotation, a process by which dance organizations conduct copyrighted, much like music notation.
Sherborn said Toni Intauzzia, a dance instructor at the Intauzzia of Southern Illinois, visited the campus earlier this week to help students in rotation into movement for the KU dancers.
The University Dance Company is directed by Joan Sloss, acting assistant professor health, physical education and music, Kay Cine, assistant professor of dance.
Admission to the program is $2 for adults, so cents for children and free for students
said she had just returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., and New York, and had paid less in those cities for cab fare than she paid in Lawrence.
Arngersinger also expressed disapproval of a provision to eliminate the city commuting system.
When another commissioner asked Thompson why Midwest taxi rates were higher than the East Coast rates, Thompson replied, "That I don't know."
Under the new plan the city manager could approve the increases.
Thompson said the provision had been included because climbing gas prices might

force him to make frequent requests for increases before the commission.
Argersinger was unconvinced.
Under the recommendation of Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, the commission deferred consideration of the proposal for two weeks, requesting additional information and research from the commission staff.
Argeringster suggested that the discussion was postponed two weeks instead of one because of technical issues.
possible removal of fluoridation from the city's water supply at next week's meeting
The commission will hear arguments favoring water fluoridation at 3:30 p.m. today. Mayor Donald Binsn had last night that commissioners had already heard more than four hours of arguments advocating removal of the fluoride.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the commissi-
in approved a resolution authorizing an agreement with the Kansas Department of
Transportation that provided for the addition of a left turn lane on Iowa Street from south of Harvard Road to north of 9th Street.

Berlin appoints directors
Margaret Berlin, student body president, said yesterday that she had appointed a public relations director and a services director for the Student Senate.
Julie Mahaffey, Leavenworth sophomore, will be the constituent services director and Ridge Scott, Ritchie, will be the public relations director.
Berlin said she had changed the duties of the two directors.
Mahaffey, a Nunemaker senator, said she planned to visit the living groups two or three times a week after spring break.
She said her main concern was reaching off-campus students.
"The constituent services director used to be the complaints director," she said. "Now the person will have regular office hours and will go to different living groups to talk about what the Student Council does, as well as handle complaints."
"FIRST I WILL talk to them through the distribution of newsletters," she said. "Then, for those who are interested, I will be having a meeting in the lobby of some apartment buildings. I will also set appointments in the Student Senate office."
Mahaffey said she would handle student complaints herself or direct the student to a more knowledgeable source.
Ritchie, a journalism senator, said he wanted to reach the students in more ways than advertisements.
Berlin said the public relations director would work more with the Senate Communications Committee than he had in the past. He will continue to place advertising in the University Daily and to send news releases to the media.
