The first splash for beginners
Above: Lara Weber, Topeka sophomore, helps teach Kary McDow, 5, how to float on her back at the first session of the Children's Swim Program. Weber helped instruct a beginning class of swimmers, ages 4 to 6, as part of her water safety instruction class Saturday at the Robinson Center pool.
"I had a great time working with the kids," Weber said. "It's special to help a child get interested in swimming for the first time."
Below: Several Lawrence area children wait at the edge of the pool with mixed emotions about their first swim. About 20 children took their first plunge with the beginning group.
The swim program is sponsored by the KU Recreation Services and Robinson Aquatics and runs from Saturday to May 9. The program, which has three morning sessions at 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 on Saturdays, still has a few openings.
City to hear studio, mall ideas
By TODD COHEN
Doug Curtis, producer of "Nice Girls Don't Explode," a motion picture that was filmed in Lawrence last year and has not yet been released, has requested $3.5 million in industrial revenue bonds to construct a movie studio in Lawrence.
Movies and malls will highlight the Lawrence City Commission meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
Curtis, a 1968 KU graduate who also co-produced "Black Moon Rising," wants to build Oread Studios to produce feature motion pictures, educational films, music videos and television commercials.
He has requested that a public
hearing on the issuance of bonds take place March 24.
The stage may also be set for confrontation over a proposed downtown mall at tomorrow's meeting.
Citizens for a Better Downtown turned in a petition with 4,430 signatures Friday for verification by the Douglas County clerk. Only 2,263 signatures of registered voters are needed to call a referendum.
If the signatures are certified as valid, if city commissioners likely will ask city attorney Milton Allen Sr. for an opinion whether the petition addresses an administrative or legislative matter.
If it's a legislative matter, the question must be put on the April 7 general election.
cannot force a referendum on administrative matters, and thus the city could choose to ignore the petition if it is deemed administrative.
Because only three commissioners will be at tomorrow's meeting, no other action on the mail is expected. Mayor Sandra Praeger and Commissioner David Longhurst will not meet until 10 a.m. Friday. Soviet Union until about 9:30 p.m. tomorrow, said Mark Praeger, the mayor's husband.
In other items on the agenda, the commission will consider:
- Removing parking on the west side of Louisiana Street between ninth and 10th streets.

China fights 'decadence'
United Press International
PEKING — Chinese universities will place more emphasis on Marxist ideology in a bid to counter "decadent" Western ideas that sparked recent student pro-democracy demonstrations, an official newspaper reported yesterday.
Students preparing to return to classes today after a monthlong winter vacation said further demonstrations were unlikely, but would not rule out the possibility of more campus unrest.
A front-page commentary in the official Communist Party newspaper, People's Daily, contended the protests that swept more than a dozen Chinese cities involved naive young students manipulated by a small number of people with ulterior motives.
"All institutions will organize discussions, propaganda and classes, mainly related to major issues of principle."
"Some young students lack the necessary grounding in Marxist theory and a serious knowledge of the social sciences and lack social experience, the commentary said. The students are easily susceptible to fashionable Western theories and decadent ideas . . . unsuitable for China."

Anorexia Nervosa (self-conscious bingeing) (bunge-pure syndrome) have increased dramatically in recent years. Eating problems are serious, medically dangerous, often cause vomiting and can be addictively adative. However, they are not hopeless and can be treated. Health professionals are available to work with individuals or speak to the regular group about this concern.
IT'S STRESS. . . I GUESS!
IT'S STRESS... I GUESS!
Clamming for an exam overdrawing your checking account or asking for biology class for a date are all forms of stress. No one can escape stress, but you can cope with it effectively. The key is your own perception. If you perceive an experience as challenging, you can help diminish the distresses of college. For programs or more information on stress, contact the Department of Health Education.
