served only until the next city election,
the form of government would have been made
CLARK SAID he "believed in the present form of government" and had expected the question calling for the change to lose. He then asked if it would be advocated retaining the commission-city manager system, saying that it had worked well for Lawrence and that it would continue to work well. He also had predicted the change to last night's unofficial results indicated.
Carter said that the results on the change of government question didn't surprise him, an officer in a government that was the problem, if there was a problem, but how that form was
ROSE SAID he was pleased that the present form would be continued. During his campaign, he emphasized that the people of Lawrence had to decide whether to make the change, and said the issue could be up to only the commission candidates.
Asked why he thought he won, Clark said he was well known because of his long involvement in Lawrence city government. Clark has been a commissioner the past four years and before that was on the city planning commission.
Clark also attributed his victory to being perceived as a moderate and having strong support from KU students and Lawrence businessmen.
CARTER SAID that he could think of no strong support from any specific group of candidates in his district to support, Carter, district manager for Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., said he was honored that voters had placed confidence in him and that he would try to "live up to the demands."
Rose attributed his victory to the fact that during his campaign he talked about the issues that most interested the people of Lawrence.
Carter said that he hoped to "pull the city of Lawrence together" and wanted "the people to rally around what's happening, the people to take part in what's happening and get involved," he emphasized that citizens needed to be part of decision making in the city.
Clark said that two of his first actions during his second term as commissioner would be to consider having a mayor to direct the new job being done by the city manager.
Rose, who was a city commissioner from 1971 to 1975, said that he would stress city services during his new term. Because city government is a large and complicated business, he said, he wants to establish "good relations" with city employees.

Senate to vote on extra funding
It was this version that the entire House approved.
Wednesday April 6,1977
The House of Representatives voted yesterday for the increase, which had been requested by the University because this year's budget was underway and expected. The Senate had already passed a supplemental appropriations bill, but it was amended by the House Ways and Means Committee in KU 112.
The Kansas Senate is expected to vote this morning on whether to increase supplemental appropriations for the University of Kansas from $276,800 to $364,020.
If the Senate accepts the House amendments, the bill will go to Gov. Robert Ritter and be approved by the House-Senate conference committee to work out a compromise between the two
THE BILL also includes an increase in the ceiling on expenditures of general fees received by the University, from $9,783,527 to 10,137,202.
Additional money won't actually be given to KU, but the bill will increase the amount of money the University can spend from its general fees.
A capital improvements bill that includes $17.3 million for additions to Robinson Gymnasium and Malet Hall is scheduled to be introduced Tuesday. The bill has already passed the Senate.
The main appropriations bill for Kansas is scheduled to be voted on by the House bill. The bill includes appropriations for KU salaries, retirement benefits, utilities and more.
the House Ways and Means Committee reported it to the House Monday. The committee recommended that a proposed 7 per cent increase in faculty salaries for all Regents schools be cut to 6 per cent and that the number of faculty positions operating expenses be cut to 7 per cent.
Backers of the reduction in faculty salaries said Monday that classified employees deserved a larger increase than 2.5 per cent proposed by Bennett. They said the faculty salaries and increase classified employees' salaries.
THE SENATE has approved the bill and
Chancellor Archie Dykes has said he opposed exchanging a larger classified employee salary increase for a smaller faculty salary increase, even though he favored a larger pay raise for some classified employees.
City okays Bowersock agreement
The Lawrence City Commission last night approved a new Bowersock contract which will place control of six acres of Bowersock property east of the Massachusetts Street Kansas River Bridge in the hands of the city.
The contract was approved 4-0.
"This generally carries out everything that was in the agreement originally," Buford Watson, city manager, said. The contract was assigned 10.
The contract, which also gives the city the option of maintaining the Bowersock dam, ants in 1872 lease which placed control of city-owned land with a private company in return for construction and maintenance of the dam.
City commissioners have six months after the title closure to decide whether the Bowersock property should be the site of a new city hall. If the city hall is built on the site, the cost of acquiring the land would be $1. If not, the land will cost $2,000.
The $2,000 is now being held in escrow and would go back into the city account if a new address were needed.
Commissioners have hinged the city hall issue on the outcome of a foreclosure suit against Kansas Fibreboard, one of the firms involved in the Bowersock contract.
Commissioners had previously considered the possibility of buying the Fibreboard property and turning it into a parking lot for the proposed court hall. Until the present litigation is settled, no action can be taken on the proposal.
UNDER THE new contract, the city will have the option of maintaining the Bowerhouse.
The Stephen Hill family, owners of Kansas Fibreboard and Bowersock Mills & Power Co., can maintain a utility plant on the site indefinitely.
Lawrence can gain ownership of the Bowersock dam, a maintenance shop and an electricity-generating facility on the land where it is located. City wishes to buy it an appraised value of $50 million.
In other business, the commission deferred for one week discussion of police department guidelines concerning regulation of lobbying by a police representative at the state capitol in Topeka.
It was revealed last week that a Lawrence police officer was lobbying all-full-time staffers.
Next Tuesday's meeting will be the first for newly elected commissioners Jack Rose and Ed Carter, who will join Barkley Clark, Rugger and Donald Dibbs on the commission.
Dancers' budget requests axed
The Student Senate Cultural Affairs Committee became the first committee to complete budget deliberations last night by creating $3,767 for five groups asking for funds.
The five groups had asked for $11,800.
The Academic Affairs and Service committees also met last night and heard requests from 15 organizations asking for $25,206.
The Cultural Affair's Committee's largest cut was made in the Tau Dai Sigma Dance Festival, which is held annually.
Pianist Tania Achot has yet to discover whether she likes it here
to $1,591. The society had requested about $3,000 for a new dance floor, but the committee decided the University should provide these funds.
The committee recommended that the University Dance Company not be funded at all but share part of the money allocated to the Tau Sigma Dance Society. Tau Sigma tentatively got $50 for records and tapes and $1,200 for choreography. The recommended the stipulation that this money be shared with the University Dance Company, which had requested $1,000.
THE COMMITTEE also recommended that about $1,574 be cut from the society's request in such areas as printing, advertising and guest artist expenses.
The request included $600 to pay a dance instructor to give a workshop. The committee said it couldn't fund this request and the students attended the workshop last year.
The KU Folk Dance Club's request was cut from $735 to $285 by the committee, which said that most of the people participated. The KU Folk Dance Club, Lawrence residents and not KU students.
The committee recommended that the University Dance Company receive only part of Tau Sigma's funds because of the small number of KU students participating in the group. The committee said that about eight students were in the credit course.
THE COMMITTEE cut the International Club's request from $3,500 to $3,000. The committee cut the club's request of $1,560 to $1,000. The committee cuts the fund from the festival fund request of $250.
The committee also recommended that Operation Friendship receive its total budget.
THE ACADEMIC Affairs Committee, which can allocate $8,552, heard eight groups requesting a total of $11,568. The groups:
Married pianists find tours keep them apart
By PAM EKEY Staff Reporter
"Piano literature is so big ... so vast, that one human life is not enough to play all the works you can get for the piano." Tania Langer internationally known pianist, said recently.
Achot,牙作 Sequeira Costa, KU's first Cordella Brown Murphy Professor of Music, performed last Friday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
She has reserved time in her European concert schedule to spend the past six weeks in Lawrence with her husband. Between Lawrence's annual trip plan to make Lawrence their home.
Home for a concert pianist is temporary most of the year.
"Since both my husband and I are pianists, I don't think we can settle anywhere, because we have to keep on traveling," Achot said. "When we're free, and when we're not giving concerts, then we'll stay in Lawrence."
COSTA SPENDES more time in Lawrenne,
because of his teaching job at KU
nough.
Achot and Costa don't tour together. Two consecutive piano performances in any country are too much, Achot said, so the couple must be away not only from home, but also from each other for long periods of time.
"When we are together, we're really surrounded to see each other." Achot said.
The purpose of Achoi's visit here with Caiman was to "sort of not forget we were married."

THE COUPLE, who perform works for each other to gain mutual advice and guidance.
Achoit and her husband don't work on the same piano pieces at the same time. The selection of pieces is broad enough that there is no need to, although the two sometimes practice different pieces by the same composer, she said.
Women in Law ( $50); Chicano Law Students Association ( $86); Student Council for Exceptional Children ( $73); School Board ( $19); School Council ($1,275); Kansas Defense Project ($4,113); Alpha Rho Gamma ($423); Association of Black Social Workers
Ralph Munyan, student body vice president, was asked by an Academic Affairs Committee member for an interpretation on the status of the Engineering School Council's budget request.
THE ENGINEERING School Council is ranked as a Class C organization in the Student Association code. Class C organizations can't receive funding from the Senate if they disbuse funds to other groups. At Monday's meeting, some committee members questioned whether their membership could be granted.
Muyan said last night the council was eligible for funding because the groups that received funds from it weren't independent of it.
"The groups that get money never see a cent," Munyan said. "The council still controls it."
The Student Services committee, which can allocate $34,701, heard requests from seven groups requesting a total of $13,637. The groups:
National Lawyers Guild $450); Volunteer Clearing House ($1,046); Women's Coalition $(2,505); Alpha Phi Omega $(1,057); Campus Veterans ($1,755); Commission on the Status of Women $(2,050); Native American Alliance $(2,355).
The Academic Affairs and Student Services committees will conduct final deliberations on the budget proposals tonight.
The Finance and Auditing committee, which also met last night to complete the review of the budget, will create a subcommittee which will meet to develop the committee's recommendations for the student activity fee. The F & A committee will make the recommendations
