Commission debates overcrowding issue
By Juli Warren

Campus/Area
Some city commissioners expressed concern last night about possible overcrowding in areas zoned residential-dormitory as they approved a site plan for eight-plex at 1244 Ohio St.

However, Commissioner Howard Hill said after the meeting that he didn't think the commission would discuss the issue further unless approached by property owners.
The house now at the address will be destroyed, Mike Stultz, owner of the house and prospective builder of the eight-plex, said after the meeting.
He said he planned to have the eight-plex ready for occupancy by kill.
Marci Francisco, a member of the Oread Neighborhood Association said she thought units were being squeezed into the lots.
Francisco said, "The assumption is that if it's allowable, it should be possible.
"In this case, I really do feel that the zoning is inappropriate."
The house now has five units, Dean Palos, of the planning staff, said. According to zoning requirements, the lot can have up to 10 units.
The requirements for parking spaces may be adequate for families that have fewer cars than student roommates, Francisco said. But when students share apartments and each has a car, there is not enough parking.
Twelve parking spaces will be in the side yard, on 13th Street, the planning staff said.
On Campus
Overcrowding is evident in parking, she said.

Support of Mandela urged by chain letter
By Piper Scholfield
Staff writer
A chain letter now circulating around the KU campus urges students to write letters to Nelson Mandela, imprisoned leader of the African National Congress, in order to encourage his release.
Woods suggested ways to support the South African major when he spoke on campus Feb. 5. One suggestion Woods offered was to write letters directly to Mandela, who is in custody at Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town. South Africa.
Chris Bunker, third-year law student and an originator of the letter, said the idea came from a speech given by South African journalist Donald Woods.
The chain letter includes a sample letter to Mandela and instructions telling students to make two copies of the chain letter and give these to
Staff writer
friends. Students are encouraged to copy the sample letter or compose a letter of their own to mail to Mandela.
Bunker said he and friends began printing and distributing the letters two weeks ago.
"There has been so much talk about freeing Nelson Mandela," Bunker said. "This is one way we're hooting to encourage change."
There is no way of knowing how many students have responded to the letter, Bunker said. He made 100 copies of the letter
Dana Apple, Lawrence first-year law student, said she picked up a copy of the letter at the National Lawyers Guild information table in Green Hall.
Apple said that although she hadn't written a letter to Mandela yet, she expected to as soon as she had the time.
