12 candidates now running for three commission seats
By BENJAMIN HALL
Staff writer
Four candidates narrowly beat yesterday's noon filing deadline for the Lawrence City Commission race.
The field of 12 candidates now includes three incumbents and four University employees competing for three seats.
A March 3 primary will narrow the field to six for the April 7 general election. A primary is required because the number of candidates is more than twice the number of seats to be filled.
The top two candidates in the April election will win four-year terms on the commission. The third will win a two-year term.
The newest candidates, according to the city clerk's office, are Carol R. Hamilton, Sandra K. Quinlan, Bob Schumm and Mike Rundle.
Thomas E. Graves filed earlier in the day. Incumbent commissioner
David Longhurst filed Monday afternoon.
The primary field includes incumbent commissioners Ernest Angino, Howard Hill and Longhurst. The three commissioners' terms expire in April.
The terms of Mayor Sandra Praeger and Commissioner Mike Amyx do not expire until April 1989.

Rundle, a secretary in the design department, filed one hour before
Rundle said the preservation of historical sites, older homes and neighborhood was an important issue in his campaign.
"I would like to see that development is sensitive to the environment and more controlled than it has been." he said.
Rundle, who has lived in Lawrence
for 15 years, said he had not "done the organizational work to find out if I have the financial and other support to sustain a campaign."
The judicial atmosphere of present city commission meetings is not conducive to problem solving. Constance said.
Constance, who is hall manager at Joseph R. Pearson Hall, said, "I feel the community is lacking in general leadership from the commission."
Angino is a professor of geology and civil engineering. Hill is director of KANU-FM 91.5 radio.
Longhurst is president of House of Usher printing. 838 Massachusetts St.
The other candidates are Henry Johns, Carol Brown and Ellis Hayden.
BID issue passes first of two reads
By PAUL BELDEN

The Lawrence City Commission last night unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance that would establish a Business Improvement District in downtown Lawrence.
Nine Lawrence residents spoke in favor of the BID and five opposed it. If the ordinance passes a second reading next Tuesday, downtown businesses within the district would be assessed a fee for improvements and promotions of the downtown area.
the size of each business' assessment would depend on the type of business, its front footage, location building and location within the district.
Ellison R. Hayden, representing the merchants in Quantrill's Flea Market, 811 New Hampshire St., said he was against the BID proposal.
"I can't get it below my Adam's apple for someone to tell me that I have to do something or I can't be in business," he said.
George Schmitendorf, owner of George's Furniture and Antiques, 1035 Massachusetts St. said, "Many businesses will not pay except through some sort of litigation with the city."
But Dua Morris, owner of Morris Sports, 1016 Massachusetts St., said he was tired of paying other businesses' share of maintaining the downtown area.
"My opinion is that there are businesses downtown that are not paying their fair share to keep downtown going," he said.
City Commissioner Ernest Angino said Lawrence was like a teeter-totter with one end in east Lawrence and the other in west Lawrence.
"How long do you think you can keep piling these businesses on the west end before the teeter-toter tips that way?" he asked. "Once it starts tipping, I think we are going to see an exopus down downtown."
In other action, the commission voted to recognize the week of Feb. 1 to 8 for the Keith Worthington Memorial Basketball Tournament for ALS.

Discrimination issue on city's 1987 agenda
HILLEL HOUSE 940 Mississippi
Of one caller, Samuel said, "He felt not very strongly about the law itself; he was talking about lifestyles. I said, 'Hey, we're not talking about
lifestyles. We're talking about the right to work, the right to live. We're not promoting lifestyles."
Samuel said he received two telephone calls from people who opposed the proposed ordinance, but said the callers had missed the point.
Ray Samuel, the director, said,
"Access to employment, housing and public accompaddions is what deter- mentee's person really is able to live in a town.
A rough draft of the proposed ordinance has been written but faces review by the city manager and the city attorney before it can appear before the City Commission, Samuel said.
A proposed city ordinance that would make job and housing discrimination on the basis of sexual preference illegal should go before the Lawrence City Commission before the end of the year, the director of the city's Human Relations Department said yesterday
940 Mississippi
One supporter of the proposed ordinance, Ruth Lichtwardt, Lawrence junior and a member of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, said, "People should take into consideration everything that they take for granted, and then they should realize that we cann't. We could lose our housing, our jobs, everything, just because of what we are."

Kevin Elliott, Lawrence freshman and member of GLSOK, said many more instances of sexual-orientation discrimination occurred than were reported because homosexuals were afraid of being harassed if their names became known.

"I're really easy to be blackballed in Lawrence," he said. "My name has been in the paper so much that I don't care anymore."
Samuels said the ordinance would not apply only to homosexuals but also prevent discrimination against heterosexuals.
