City approves acquisition of Bowersock Dam area
After much debate, the city commission last night passed an alternate proposal to acquire six acres on the northeast corner of a building in the heart of on which a new city hall may be built.
The approved proposal, submitted by Steven Hill, president of the Bowersock Mills & Power Co. and Fibreboard Inc., was basically the same as an original proposal, but included several items that commissioners requested and agreed to.
The main item was that the city could gain ownership of the Bowersock dam after 50 years. It would also gain ownership of a maintenance shop and an electric generating power facility which Bowersock owns.
After 50 years, it was agreed, three appraisers will figure the value of the Bowersock property and offer it to the city at that price.
The Bowersock company now owns the dam and will continue to do so, but the city will maintain it under the proposal, to free the company from a $386,000 liability.
However, under the agreement, the city can decide not to maintain the dam at any time. The commissioners agreed that the city should consider increasing water supply and recreational purposes and
said maintenance of the two services would improve under city management.
The fact that the city can decide not to maintain the dam would be important, because it is a vital resource.
The city could also gain ownership of the dam and the other facilities if the electric power generating level fell below 1,000 kilowatts an hour. The city, under the agreement, also has the option to destroy the dam.
Another item added to the proposal and agreed to by Hill was that the city have the right to beautify the exterior of buildings on the Bowersock property.
Commissioner Barkley Clark said the provision would be important if the city was to remain a major power.
The commissioners said development of the area would eliminate unsightly buildings that have been eyesores at the north entrance of Lawrence.
The city is considering development of a new city hall, which could be built on four sides.
Under the proposal, if the city decided to build a new city hall on the site, it would have to be held in escrow 60 days while the commission decided on the matter. If at the end of 60 days the commission hadn't made a decision, it would go to the Bowersock company.
The petition calls for a change from the current city-manager form to a mayor-council form. The question will go before Lawrence voters April 5.
In other action, the commission received a petition, submitted to the county clerk's office last week, calling for a change in city government.
Clark said he hoped that he and Mibek, both of whom are running for reelection to the commission this April, will be able to discuss the issue with Lawrence residents. He said he wanted to make sure that the people didn't vote without knowing the full implications of the proposed change in government.
Tasheff, Owens evaluate service

Tedde Tashfeff and Steve Owen, their feet at use if not still, reviewed their work as an aid to the clinic.

Elected Feb. 19, 1976, as Vox Populares, the voice of the people, they've been as much the legs as the voice, so the Student should learn to represent student opinion, both were unsure.
"I don't know if we always acted as the people's voice," Tasehfell said Saturday. "Sometimes it had to be more representational," the Student Senate had set its objections at.
"TFS HARD TO communicate what the Student Senate is doing and then get feedback on it. A lot of times you have to learn that a majority out there must not agree with."
Owens agreed and he hoped a poll conducted last semester asked student opinions about the KU-MU football game would set a precedent in Senate action. The Senate passed a resolution opposing a proposal to move the game to Arrowhead and later polled students to insure that it had actually represented student opinion.
"Almost every student is affected by at least one organization funded by the Senate," he said, explaining the Senate's dedication to keep in touch with students through newsletters and questionnaires despite student apathy.
Tasheff searched her desk for the last
cigarette and reiterated a promise to quit smoking. She burned a match from Owens as she analyzed the pair's fulfillment of campaign goals.
ONE MAJOR GOAL was more utilization of the 20 per cent representation allowed by the Plan.
'We wanted to increase the student's voice not just in their own organizations, but also within the area of academics,' Tasheff said.
The Academic Affairs Committee had a fall seminar to encourage student participation and knowledge about department committees.
A MAJOR academic goal the two think they have achieved is toward the attainment of a fee waiver for graduate students and assistant instructors, Tsaeff said.
"Our main objective was to get support from the five other Regents schools across the state and present KU's needs to the Board of Regements," she said.
The five other state institutions endorsed the waiver proposal at the Regents' Coordinating Council Jan. 20 and the waiver be brought before the Board of Regents.
Their administration also formed the satellite union task force and cut the tuition cost to students for the new union to $3 last year. They plan to add $6 to this semester for planning costs.
THEY REDUCED the activity fee to students by a small amount, about 15 cents, Tasheh said, and obtained a 28-day approval period for tuition raises.
Senate meeting for a minority affairs' center was also a landmark. Tafiled告
"The Senate has shown there are some more voices out there we should include in our affairs with the administration and other groups." she said.
Owens, sitting with neat piles of folders in his lap, said, "There's been a greater emphasis on committee structure instead of the administrative people run things."

THE COMMITTEE is trying to hire an agency to study Lawrence's transportation needs but has been delayed waiting for federal approval of the study. Tauscheff said,
TASHEH SAID, "In the past a few people not within the committees pushed the legislation. But a lot of young senators came in and went to work."
The Student Service Committee's work with the Lawrence community to establish a city transit system, a campaign goal of 50,000 students, identifies the importance of committee work.
Referring to a greater use of committees, Tashseff said, "I don't know that we've always been efficient but we've always been effective."
A study would prove to the city that they need to do something about parts of the city's transportation problems, Tasheff said, or show the Senate ways it can improve its routes to accomplish the same end.

Preliminary hearing set in murder case
Preliminary hearing dates were set yesterday in Douglas County Court for two brothers charged by police in the murder of Dennis Margaret Luxe, 46, of 93 Kentucky St.
The brothers, dressed in gray prison coveralls, sat quietly in the courtroom as Mike Elwell, associate district judge, read a bill that would allow former Feb. 16 preliminary hearing for the two.
James R. Gardner, 18, and Joseph Gardner Jr., 22, were found indigent by the judge, and lawyers were appointed to defend them.
Elwell ordered that both men be held without bond in the Douglas County Jail.
A Santa Fe工夫 crew found Maixey's mule, legless body near the railroad tracks at the north end of Connecticut Street and where the legs were found by police, at the city landmark.
An autopsy later showed that Maxey had died of a stab wound in the chest.
Police said the murder allegedly took place in the Garden's home at 740 Rhode Island.
Island St. late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, Maxey had gone to the house with Joseph Gardner Jr. after at Quantilln's, a local bar, police said.
An argument, which started after Maxey and Gardner got to his home, ended in the stabbing of Maxey. The brothers allegedly cut off her legs later Sunday morning to make it easier to move her body in a shopping cart, police said.
Police said they followed blood spots trailing from the location of the body near the house.
Maxey was unemployed and had lived in Lawrence about a year.
According to police, the brothers haven't lived in Lawrence long.
Funeral arrangements for Macey will be made by the Gibson-Bonor Funeral Home in New York.
Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney, said he couldn't comment on whether any of the murder details were accurate. He said he had not been released and released them and called them unofficial.
Fan keeps Allen's flags waving

The flag poles perched on Allen Field House stood empty, their ropes blowing in the cold Saturday morning wind. A total of 14,000 fans would send Allen rocking that the only people around were a few skinny maniacs runningers and the maintenance crew.

"MR. WALKER (Clyde Walker, athletic director), told us a few months ago that it'd be nice to put them up every day." Ice said. "Todd Williams helps me out during the week, but I'm usually by myself on Saturdays."

Drug use report unlikely to hurt KU budget, two legislators say

"I used to go out those windows over there," he said, "I'd use a chair to climb over. But now . . . " He walked behind the heating duct, revealing a small wooden staircase leading up to the window. "They built some steps for me," he said, smiling.
Reports of marijuana use at the University of Kansas probably won't affect the KU budget, two state legislators said yesterday.
State Sen. Frank Gaines, D-Augusta and a member of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said the reports "certainly affect on the budget for higher education."
One legislator, State Rep. Mike Glover, *D-Lawrence*, said "the effects of the reports will be negligible, if there are any at all." The governor said that he just bearded three or four comments on it.
KU ADMINISTRATORS have denied that resident assistants in KU residence halls don't enforce University and state regulations banning marijuana. The speculation arose from a story published in Friday's Kansas.
J. J. Wilson, housing director, yesterday called the use of marijuana by KU students a complicated issue, because of the overuse of Teopka and the effect on the legislature."
The Kansan story, later distributed by United Press International quoted a resident assistant as saying that 50 per cent of the students in his hall occasionally smoked marijuana. KU officials Monday issued a statement saying "uniquely
"There wasn't that much in the Kansan story," Glover said. "We should be just a little aware of it, but to say that we won't get faculty salaries increased, for example, because of a few kids smoking pot, is a little much."
"I KNOW the attorney has gotten several calls asking when the next big raid would be." Glover said, "But Schulden told me that the wuesthest thing from his mind."
that no violations of the law are or will be condoned or permitted by University of Florida.
DONALD ALDERSON, acting vice chancellor for student affairs, was one of the officials who signed the statement. He said yesterday, "We want people to know that the administration isn't ignoring the situation. But it's not a great problem, or is not great as it is sounded (from the story)." He said that his staff members that KU officials had "overreacted" to it.
Glover also said KU students probably wouldn't have to worry about increased enforcement of drug laws by Kansas Attorney General Curt Schneider.
The University isn't planning a crackdown on drugs, either, according to Aldershot.
"We feel that the policy we have now is working, and we will make no change. We can't even go into a person's room without 24 hours notice," Alderson said.
Saying that "privacy is a basic need for students," Alderson also said he didn't think it was fair that residence halls had been out for alleged marjuna violations.
Caryl Smith, associate dean of women, said she didn't think fraternities and sororites had any major problems with students using drugs, either.
"I HAVE NO reason to think that the houses have problems with that," Smith said. "Each house, each individual living in our own standard procedures for dealing with them."
Aderson said residence halls "have no classic way to deal with an offender. If he's caught, there will probably be a discussion between the resident assistant or the resident director."
He said five persons left residence halls hasten semester after being caught using cocaine.
OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY policy on drugs in residence halls, as stated in next year's residence hall contract, says that the university will illegal drugs" violates residence hall rules.
Violation of residence hall rules, according to the contract, "may result in cancellation of the housing contract, revocation of future guest privileges, and or other disciplinary action." The other disciplinary action wasn't specified.
Almost every day Tony Ice raises the flags over Allen Field House at 8 a.m. Ice must climb through a window to reach the flagpoles.
"I remember when me and my wife lived over where Naismith Hall is now," he said. "We didn't have much money then, but when we could, we'd come to the games."
HE PUSHED open the window, climbed the stairs and pulled his 56-year-old frame through the window and onto the roof within several seconds. He scammered around the floor, placing a flag at the base of each pole and leaving KU and KSU in the front.
The campus was empty except for some scattered students, silently plodding along to their Saturday morning classes. As I raised the flags and watched them catch in the early morning wind, he talked about his life and his family.
ICE SPOKE with pride when he talked of his daughter and four sons. One son is the head football coach at Kinsley High School, another is the head basketball coach, Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City.
'My youngest son isn't old enough to play (took it),' he said, 'almost almost molestively.'

"I officiated high school football and baseball since 1954," he said. "I did my last football game last year."
Living in or around Lawrence almost all his life, ice he said liked the atmosphere in a college town and especially the atmosphere in the field house.
Ice said much of his life had been spent working with and around kids.
"FIVE ALWAYS liked kids," he said. they're still kids, sometimes, they've still kids, but
Ice finished his work for a moment. As the flags flew in the breeze over his head, he walked back to the window. He would return from his work and the flags down after the game that night.
Ice said he had been working for the University almost four years, since he
