Construction workers are acting quickly to erect the $40,000 campus Vietnam War memorial by Memorial Day. Allen Wiechert, of facilities planning, said yesterday
The site for the L-shaped concrete and limestone structure is the southwest corner of a building.
Tom Berger, chairman of the KU Vietnam Memorial committee, said he hoped construction could be completed by May 2, the planned completion date. But inclement weather postponed the completion and dedication of the memorial until Memorial Day on May 26.
Berger said he and four other committee members in charge of the final design plan decided on the wall concept, which is compounded with Vietnam memorials in the United States.
Two five-feet-high concrete walls will be joined at one end, forming an L-shaped, he said. One wall will be shorter than the other. The stonewall panels will be attached." Berger said.
He said the limestone panels on the short wall would contain a design and inscription.
"Then the names will be placed on the long side," he said.
So far, 55 names of KU students killed in the war or declared missing in action will appeal to lawmakers.
Construction of the memorial has been in planning stages for about two years, but the idea for a memorial developed in the late 1970s. Berger said.
The KU Vietnam Memorial Committee, a 17-member committee formed in 1963 of students and area Vietnam veterans, decided to follow through with the plan. he said
In fall 1983, he said, the Student Senate allocated $10,000 to the construction, the rest coming from campus living groups and private donors.
The Board of Regents approved the $40,000 construction at its last meeting on April 17. The Regents have to approve all constructi-
tions. The Board of Regents and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
Burger said the memorial committee was trying to raise additional money to pay for memorial maintenance costs. That money would be spent on repairs if the memorial is ever vandalized.
Berger said precautionary measures needed to be taken to prevent problems like the recent vandalization of the Vietnam Memorial in Kansas City, Mo.
"We're hoping that that sort of thing doesn't hampen," he said.
The 39th annual City Managers Conference is more than just a forum for city managers to keep current on policies within their field.
It's where friendships are rekindled and new ideas are passed on from administrator to administrator.

Managers hear new ideas
Barbara Romzek, conference program organizer, said yesterday that most of the 160 people attending the conference this week were graduates of KU's masters of public administration program one of the finest in the country
"The conference is here because our public administration program is nationally ranked." Romzek said. "We have an interest in making sure we keep current on issues in city management."
Romzek agreed that the conference went beyond seminars and speeches.
Bob Halloran, Garden City assistant city manager, said the conference served several different purposes, the most important of which was to keep people current on issues in his profession. He said it also was a chance to meet he had made during his 11 years in his position.
"It's an opportunity to step away from the daily-day business and exchange information with others."
The conference, which concludes today, is sponsored by the Institute for Public Policy and Business Research and the Edwin O. Stene Graduate Program in Public Administration at UCLA. The program will be on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union since Wednesday and will continue until noon today.
KU's masters in public administration program last two years, Romzek said. During the first year, students take classes in urban law, business, personnel, supervision, budgeting and finance.
The second year students have internships to gain on-the-job experience assisting city police.
Harold Anderson, Leavenworth city manager and graduate of KU's masters program in public administration, said the program was "the best for many years and was still improving."
The internships are an excellent vehicle to train people," he said. "You can't just learn in the classroom. You must go out into the field, and that's what you do here."
Romekz had a planning committee had been recruiting speakers and deciding on topics for work.
One of the topics the panels discussed was "Future Structures and Missions of Local Governs."

The last of the great shirtmakers.
Every part of a Sero shirt shows why we're known as the last of the great shirtmakers. Take for instance our button-down collar shown above. It's famous for it's full bell-shaped roll. We take many extra steps, all done by hand, to create that collar. No one else makes a collar with such care and attention. But, then again, no one else makes a shirt like Sero does in 100% Cotton pin-point oxford and 60% cotton 40% poly durable press.
