Rails slow bicyclists at Stouffer
By Peggy Kramer
Staff writer
The path not taken is now one of the only options for bicyclists who once rode on the sidewalk in front of Stouffer Places' Building 11.
Two permanent metal barriers were placed perpendicular to the sidewalk that runs directly in front of residents' doors in Building 11. The barriers provide a detour for bicyclists who use the sidewalk as a shortcut to Burge Union.
Bicyclists now either have to stop their bikes and walk them through the barriers or use an alternate sidewalk.
Stouffer Place management and residents requested a detour to reduce the risk of residents being struck by bicyclists riding around the blind door and onto the sidewalk.
If bicyclists know about the bars, it will help prevent them from speeding down the hill and in front of the doors. Ed Gonzales, Herington graduate student and Stouffer Place resident, said yesterday.
The barriers were cemented into the sidewalk by a housing maintenance crew last week, and the asphalt for the new handicapped ramp was poured Friday, said Ruth Swain, Stouffer Place manager.
By moving the wheelchair ramp, one parking space was eliminated, she said. However, it is possible that another handicapped parking space will be added.
A two-foot wide gap between the pars allows pedestrians to walk between, but bicyclists will either have to walk the bikes through the gap or take an alternate route.
Parents in Stouffer became concerned about their childrens' safety when a 6-year-old girl was struck by a bicyclist last month in front of the building.
"There is still a light chance someone could get hit." Gonzales said, "but nothing like before."
Gonzales said that since the barriers had been put up, he had seen a couple of bicyclists use the sidewalk branching off the parking lot instead of the one in front of residents' doors. Dean Milow, associate director of
housing, said the bars would slow traffic down, but there's nothing to prevent bicyclists from pushing their bikes through.
Swain said bicyclists coming from the other direction might still ride in front of the doors, but at least their speed was reduced.
On the Record

Officials dedicate Haworth
By Tom Farmer Staff writer
After being completed for almost a year, the $12.7 million Haworth Hall addition was dedicated Saturday, officially marking the first time in 55 years that the University's biological sciences programs are all in one building.

The addition, which houses the departments of physiology and cell biology, botany, entomology and systematics and ecology, was completed in spring 1985.
Before the eight story, 100,000 square feet addition, the biological sciences programs were housed in Snow Hall, a building that received much criticism from dignitaries in attendance at the dedication, which took place on the Haworth Hall Addition Terrace.

Other speakers included, from left to right, John Vogel, former member of the Kansas Legislature; Mary Coogan, graduate student in biological science; Gunther Schlager, chairman of the
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor who presided over the dedication, said the space crisis in Snow Hall and its distance from the other science departments, which are mostly in Malott Hall, were deciding factors in the 1982
state Legislature's appropriation of funds for construction of the addition.
"Every legislator that visited campus got a tour of Snow Hall," Cobb said.
The addition includes an overhead walkway linking Haworth to Malotl Hall which is where chemistry, pharmacy, physics and astronomy programs are housed.
Among the special features of the addition are an audio visual center with material to supplement lectures, labs accommodating 12 students allowing for better student-teacher interaction, rooftop greenhouses for botanical research, and a new auditorium.
Mary Coagan, president of the physiology and cell biology graduate student organization, spoke on behalf of the students.
biological Science Administration; Robert Lineberry, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Stanley Koplik, executive director of the Board of Regents; and Chancellor Gene A. Budig. The addition was dedicated Saturday afternoon.
She said students enjoyed being closer to other students studying science and the accessibility to other buildings on campus.
Gunther Schlager, chairman of the division of biological sciences, said that with the new facilities, the division could do a better job to improve its understanding of biological systems and their relationships to their environment.
scientists," Schlager said. "We will provide a return on your investment."

Robert Lineberry, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the addition was a step toward the integration of biological sciences in student's core requirements.
"This is a day so long in the making and truly gratifying to all," Lineberry said.

About 200 people gathered on the lawn of Strong Hall Friday to voice their opposition to the United States aid to Nicaraguan contrasts. Legislators in Washington, D.C., will begin debate on the financing issue tomorrow.
The hour-long rally, sponsored by the Latin American Solidarity, condemned U.S. support of the contrasts and praised the Contadora peace process.
Charles Stansifer, director of Latin American Studies, said Friday that the majority of Nicaraguans did not support the contra movement.
Bob Miller, a sociology professor at Baker University, visited Nicaragua in January as part of the Witness for Peace Program.
Stansier said he ignored the legality and morality of giving aid to the contras, and was only concerned with the practicality of the issue — without the aid, the contras would not be able to operate, he said.
We understand you.
"On the one hand, we call Khadady a mad man," Miller said. "But we fail to recognize that contras have done equally as atrocious acts with U.S. aid.
Miller carried two white crosses in memory of Felipe and Maria Barreda, a Nicaraguan couple who he said were murdered by the contras. Miller said that while he was in Nicaragua he spoke to Mario Barreda, the son of the murdered couple.
