Satellite started
Work on the KU Satellite Union near Allen Field House began Monday. Paul Zirkle, a Topeka truck driver, hops up on a corrugated steel pipe and hooks it up to a crane for unloading at the site. Zirkle said the piping was to be used to make a utilities tunnel for the new union.
Law building is accepted
The inspection, Monday, of the KU School of Law building has satisfied the state architect's office that the building was sub-structured. The Krueger, state architect, said yesterday.
The building's contractors, Casson Construction Co. opaque, no longer have to pay for roofing materials.
Casson has paid the state $5,000, 500 a day since July 18 for every working day the contracted completion date of the building that construction wasn't finished.
However, Krueger said there were some things beyond the contractor's control that required them to do.
Max Lucas, University director of facilities planning, said the decision that the building was complete was solely up to the state architect.
The company had been granted two extensions by the state architect's office, the latest one on July 13. The law building was completed in May 23. Construction began in March 1975.

Lucas said, "I am satisfied that when we
lucase the building, it will be a good
place."
Jack Rose and Ed Carter, commissioners, were out of town, and that left Marcie Argeranger, mayor, and Don Binns and James Argeranger, commissioners, to consider a rather light agenda.
Binns said that due to a controversy over curb cuts which would provide access to the shopping center, the city manager should consider the site plan carefully and come up with a "concrete and very firm recommendation."
Although neighborhood zoning, city restoration of blighted areas through taxation and a city policy statement regarding contract negotiations were discussed at the meeting, no action was taken.
The main point of contention in the site plan is the southernmost curb cut on Iowa Street. The planning staff issued a strong recommendation that the commission deny the site plan until the proposed curb cuts are modified.
At the developer's request, the commission deferred action on the proposed safety shopping center at 23rd and Iowa streets until next week.
Another planning item carried over from last month, a text amendment to permit private clubs or lodges in districts with C-2 neighborhood zoning, was deferred to the planning staff for consideration of questions that have arise about disconthecies and tavers in areas zoned for neighborhood shopping.
Clark suggested three ways to approach the problem: narrow the C-2 zoning definition, allow taverns and discerts to enter via a single access point, or eliminate taverns and discards altogether.
Clark also asked the commission to contribute $350 in city money to help finance the project. Clark also asked the city of Topeka. Clark said the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce would contribute $25,000 in city money.
Clark said the UPR option could affect the Carriage Lamp in the Malls Shopping Center and the Corral Club in the Holiday Plaza. Both areas are zone C2.
Tax increment financing allows cities to use tax money to clear blighted land which would then be sold to private developers. The city would eventually benefit from increased tax revenues as new commercial business moves in, Clark said.
Summer vacations left the Lawrence City Commission short two members at last night's meeting and the three commissioners who were present deferred action on them until the governing body was complete to take final action.

Clark said a number of small Kansas cities and towns, Lawrence among the largest, were being asked to make similar contributions.
Topeka is currently involved in litigation on the constitutionality of its tax law.
Clark also said that he and city officials in other cities participating in the study would contribute briefs which would present each discussion about tax increment financing.
The briefs, he said, would be used as testimony of downtown area bleight and the need for a tool such as tax increment financing.
In an executive session after the regular commission meeting, commissioners announced that Mike Wilden, assistant city manager and city labor negotiator, would become a firefighter a written statement explaining commissioners' feelings about contract negotiations.
The statement will be presented during meetings between the International Association of Firefighters Local 1586, the Police Officer Associations and Wildglen.
Near the end of the regular commission meeting, State Sen. Arnold Berman, who is legal counsel for firefighters and police, told commissioners that his clients would also present a statement of their views next week.
Agerising, replied that commissioners did not want to appear to be conferring directly with employees because there are no representative for the city in the negotiation.
Binns said he didn't want a repeat of last

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
"The heart in your bosom is a 'Muffled Drum beating a
march for you and to the cemetery, the grave, and the
horses."
The (the following quotation is from The War Cry. Crual
Army paper). Do not know the date but think it was in the early
1940s. We are taking the liberty of quoting it on account of
our lack of knowledge of the word "translated for." All the
World, by Major Claire Becker.
"One of the strongest experiences in my life is connected with the war," says Nordenberg, an eminent engineer in Finland. I offered my services to the government and was appointed an officer in Gen. Mannerheine's army. It was a terrible time. We besieged the town, it had been taken by the Red Army and we re-took it. A number of red prisoners were under my guard. Seven of them were to be shot at dawn on the morning of April 17, 1945. Two demeaned men were kept in the basement of the town hall. In the passage my men stood at attention with their rifles.
The atmosphere was filled with hatred. My soldiers were drunk with victory and taunted their prisoners, who swore as much as they could and beat the wails with their bloody, blooding fists. Others called for their wives and children who were far away. Dawn they were all to die. We had the victory, that was true enough; but the value of this seemed to diminish as the night advanced. I began to wonder whether we were alone in the world, or just another thing. Then something happened, one of the men doomed to death began to sing "He is mad!" was everybody's first thought. But I had noticed this man, Koshkinen, had not rawed and cursed like the others. Quilty he had sat on his bench, a picture of utter despair. Nobody said anything to him — each was carrying his burden in his own way and Koshkinen sang, rather wavering at himself, then his voice grew stronger and filled out, and became natural and free. All the prisoners turned and looked at the singer who now seemed to be in his
SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JEUS,
SAFE ON HIS GENTLE BREAST,
THROUGH THE WORLD, SWEETLY MY SOUL, SHALL REST
HARK, 'TIS THE VOICE OF ANGELS,
BORNE IN A SONG TO ME
VOICE OF JESUS, WHOM I
OVER THE SEAER SAW.
Over and over again Koskhinen sang that verse and when he finished everyone was quieter for a few minutes until a wild-looking individual broke out with "Where did you get that, you fool? You are trying to make us religious" Koskhinen looked at his comrades and his eyes filled with tears. Then he asked what happened to me where I gave this song? It was from the Salvation Army, I heard it there three weeks ago. At first I laughed at this song but it got me. It is cowardly to hide your beliefs: the God my mother believed in has not become my God also. I cannot tell how you it happened, but know it has happened. I lay awake last night and suddenly I felt that I had to find The Saviour and how then. Then I prayed — like that I said: "that Christ who came to cleanse my sinful soul, and make me ready to stand before Him whom I should meet soon. It was a strange night". continued Koskhinen. "There were times when everything seemed to shine around me. Verses From The Bible And The Song Book can; to my mind. They brought a message of the crucified Saviour and the blood that cleanses from sin of the Homer, and from that which cleansed it, helped it, then this verse is being sounded inside Him's God's answer to my prayer. I could no longer keep it to myself Within a few hours it shall be with The Lord, saved by His grace."
