KU voters avoid poll in droves

At 2 p.m. yesterday, the four pollworkers at the Allen Field House polling booths outnumbered the voters.

Only three KU students had voted in the Lawrence City Commission primary at the precinct that comprises the Daisy Hill residence hills, Oliver Hall, Jawhawk Tower, and Stouffer Place.
When polls closed at 7 p.m.,18 people had voted at the field house.
Dennis Constance, house manager of Joseph R. Pearson Hall, talks to a television reporter about issues facing Lawrence. Constance finished third in last night's city commission primary, winning a spot on the April 7 general election ballot.
"I'm so bored I can't even study," said pollworker Sheron Eaden, a student at DeVry Institute in Kansas City, Mo.
"This is the worst year I know of," said Dick Mulally, a rural Lawrence resident who has worked as a pollworker for two years.
Carolyn Hempill, another polworker, said 927 people were registered in the precinct. However, the Douglas County clerk provided polworkers with only 500 ballots.
Only 227 students voted at the precinct in the 1866 general election, which included state and federal offices.
However, Bill Sheely, Leavenworth junior, and four other residents of Joseph R. Pearson Hall went early yesterday morning to the South Park Center, another precinct location, to vote for candidate Dennis Constance, JRP's house manager.
But Peggy Jordan, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said she didn't vote because she hadn't had time to study the candidates' positions and had three tests this week.
Primary
Continued from p.
October for a public vote, after developers had finished preliminary work.
Longhurst said that he would continue to follow city government.
"I will be involved, but not at the will of the electorate," he said.
For Schumm, who was a commissioner from 1979-1981 but was defeated badly when he sought reelection in 1981, it was not the time to celebrate — yet.
"I don't consider it a victory," Schumm said. "I'm happy with the
results certainly. But I'm far from being complacent.
"The message to me is to work hard."
Schumm, who owns two downtown restaurants, proposed that the city seek a free-standing department store rather than a
Constance, who finished third,
said that he was happy but wasn't
taking anything for granted.
"It's not a commanding lead over anybody, that's for sure," he said.
Constance said that he also was surprised the incumbents did not win easily. However, he said that the mall was only one factor.
"The mall is really a symptom of an underlying problem, that we don't conduct our planning as we should." Constance said.
Barry Shalinsky, president of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, said, "Obviously, it's an anti-mall vote."
