Oread association votes to oppose redistricting plan
The Oread Neighborhood Association passed a motion at last night's meeting opposing the current Kansas House restricting plan.
The association opposes the plan because it would put the neighborhood in two Legislative districts, the 46th and the 44th.
In other action, three representatives of the Downtown Lawrence Association, a merchants group, spoke to the Oread group about a proposed shopping mall south of Lawrence and the mall's effect on the downtown and the Oread neighborhood.
The association also passed a motion asking the Lawrence City Commission to allow a building with an estimated cost of which would limit future construction in the neighborhood to buildings containing more than 2,000 square feet.
Jack Arensberg, a representative of the merchants group, said, "We think it is in the best interest of downtown and the neighborhood to stop the mail."
Kathy Clark, president of the neighborhood association, said she expected that thousands of merchants before the association would decide to support the merchants against the scheme.
The motion to the city commission also asks that a historical district be set up in the neighborhood.

Legal services board searches for office

The legal services program, scheduled to
open in two weeks, does not yet have a
branch.
Margaret Berlin, student body president,
said yesterday that the legal services board
was looking for office space for the
school to provide prepaid legal
services to KU students.

Hogan would not say which other buildings were being considered.

"I think that would be a poor choice, though," Berlin said, "because there would be a problem of accessibility for the students."
Hogan said he would not want the office to be off the campus.
"That would be expensive for the Student senate," he said. "We'd like to see them mentally."
Hogan said he did not think the lack of space would cause a delay in the program's opening. Steve Ruddick, the legal services attorney, said he would be working March 19, but said he was not sure whether he would be ready to take clients by then.
"We might know within the next two weeks," Haogan said. "I'm sure we will have a good chance."
THE LACK of space is the most recent in a series of problems that have plagued the program since the Student Senate funded it last spring.

Trade one tough summer for two great years.
The Army ROTC Best Camp. It is tough because you'll be making up for the entire first two years of the Army ROTC Four Year Program. Also, you must in six years only.
During this time, while we’re toughening up your body a little, we’ll be even tougher on your mind. By asking you to complete a concentrated course of study cover all the lessons you need!
But when you return to college in the fall you can look forward to two pretty great years.
You'll be earning an extra $100 per month, up to ten months a year. And you'll also be earning an officer's commission while you're earning your college degree.
If you have transferring from junior college
or for some other reason you couldn't take the
two years of ROTC, look into the Army ROTC
Two Year Program.
Amy ROTC. The more you look at,
the better it looks.
Bill could cut delinquent taxes
Douglas County Commissioners are closely watching a bill in the Kansas that could reduce the amount of delinquent motor vehicle taxes in the county.
During the commissioners' meeting yesterday, Beverly Bradley, commissioner who received a call from State Rep. Katie Palford, said that the bill had been sent to the House with the endorsement of the assessment committee, of which he is a member.
The bill would require that owners or motor vehicles pay all of the property taxes on their vehicles when they register them each year. Taxpayers now pay more of their taxes at the time of registration and the half axe months later.
Bradley said the present system makes it possible for taxpayers to pay half of their taxes and receive the registration, which is good for one year, and then leave the county without paying the rest of their taxes.
THIS TAXATION system is costly to the county.
Hath Verdyrick, county treasurer, said the county had been able to collect only about $100,000 of $300,000 of delinquent motor vehicles on motor vehicles for the tax year 1977.
But this is not the only revenue the county loses. There also is the cost of keeping track of the delinquent taxes and the cost of trying to recover them.
Verdicken said that the county sends notices to delinquent taxpayers informing them that they are late with their taxes. When the county does not
Verdynck said her department spends about $20,000 a year to collect back taxes.
receive a response, warrants for collection are sent to the sheriff's office.
"Of course, the money we counted on collecting from all our taxes is budgeted and spend. What we don't get we have to pay in the year with a higher tax rate," she said.
Hinenan said the bill, which has the support of county officials across the state, has been in the House for at least six or seven years.

"I think we have got a lot of the bugs worked out of the bill now," Hineman said.
The hill should be voted on by the House today or tomorrow, he said. If it does not come up for a vote it then may be sent to another committee.
