Trafficway won't damage prairie
Lassman was one of four speakers addressing a public forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., sponsored by the Jayhawk Audubon Society and the Kansas Area Watershed Council. About 55 people attended the forum, which addressed issues raised by an environmental impact statement released Jan. 25.
Elkins Prairie, west of Lawrence, will not suffer any direct environmental damage from the proposed South Lawrence Trafficway, Ken Lassman, representative for Save the Elkins Prairie, said last night.
Speakers included Lassman; William Griffith, KU professor emeritus of history; Roger Boyd, Bakei Uni
However, Lassman said other environmentally sensitive areas would be threatened by the proposed trafficway, a 14.2-mile, $58.2 million project linking Kansas Highway 10 with the Kansas Turnpike.

Boyd said many wetland areas outside of the Baker Wetlands along Lawrence's southern boundary would be harmed by the trafficway. The impact statement narrowly focuses on the Baker Wetlands, designated Northern Crawfish Frog, a Kansas designated threatened species.

Baker Wetlands are between Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Avenue.
Griffith said planners erred by using the trafficway as both a city bypass and a means to reduce traffic flow on 23rd Street. A bypass must provide quick movement around the city, but trafficway plans include 14 to 17 intersections along the southern edge, or about one stop each mile.
establishing a minibus/taxi service and improving and expanding bicycle routes.
"If consultants were serious, they should have looked to see which other wetlands are to be impacted," Boyd said after the meeting. "If the Corps of Engineers and consultants didn't
do it, the impact statement should have addressed the issue more thoroughly."
The proposed trafficway would impact almost 12 acres along the northern edge of the Baker Wetlands, according to the statement. To mitigate damage, planners must create new wetlands and frog breeding pools.
Michael Almon, Lawrence resident, said that one issue not addressed in the statement was earlier Lawrence needed a trafficway.
Planners have proposed using one area to address both issues. Boyd said. He questioned whether one area should be used to replace the loss of two areas.
Justus said many trafficway options were not carefully considered. He proposed creation of a citywide zero-growth automobile policy.
To achieve this goal, he proposed
"I think what is intolerable is the idea that we cannot address somehow alternative forms of transportation with the amount of money that would go into something as expensive as the bonds necessary to complete the construction of this trafficway," Almon said.
Public response will be accepted by the Federal Highway Administration in Topeka through Feb. 24.
Events in three fictional works about Lizzie Borden, an alleged 19th century ax murderer, have been shaped by time and culture, KU director of women's studies said last night.
Lecturer: Time has altered Borden tale
Ann Schofield, director of women's studies and associate professor of American studies and history, gave a speech titled "Lizzie Borden Took an Axe: Feminism, History and American Culture" to about 300 people at the Kansas Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Her speech was the third annual James E. Seaver Lecture on Continuing Issues in Western Civilization.

Schoffiled said Borden was the subject of a popular nursery rhyme,
"Lizzie Borden with an ax, gave her father 40 wacks, when she saw what she had done, she gave her mother 41."
Borden allegedly murdered her father and stepmother in August 1892 in the New England town of Fall River. But Schofield said Borden was found not guilty June 5, 1893, by a jury of 12 men because she was a woman.
Schofie examined the portrayal of Borden in three fictional works: an opera, a ballet and a short story, and in the historical summary of the events surrounding the Fall River murder.
"The three fictional Lizzie Borden types reconsidered demonstrate the process of molding the soft clay of historical facts into a recognizable
cultural product,"she said.
Schofield said culture allowed women only a limited field of roles and a narrow range of motivation.
"The dynamic interplay between history and cultural representation affects not only our understanding of gender but can also be expanded to the significant moral and ethical situations in the past," she said.
The considerations of continuing issues in Western civilization include the differences between women and men, the relationship of history to culture and the question of how historians know whether a historical document has distorted memories of the past, Schofield said.
Thomas David, Madreas, India, graduate student, said after the speech: "I'm disturbed with the gender polarization that became involved in the issue, that the issue dragged polarization into the context, which I think is destructive for humankind."
Borden, with an ax, gave her father 40 wacks, and when she saw what she had done, she gave her mother 41," she said.
"The sum of that knowledge, it would seem, is more significant than answering whether or not Lizzie
Angel Kwolek-Folland, assistant professor of women's studies and history, said the speech was fascinating.
Theater planned in riverfront mall will keep shoppers playing around
"I learned about the Lizzie Borden nursery rhyme when I was in the third grade and that was really all I knew about it until now," she said.

A theater that shows plays for both children and adults is scheduled in open early April in the main stage (front right).
Bic Averiell, theater director of Lawrence Arts Center, said the mall theater's troupe, the Riverfront Players, would perform original children's plays on weekends and adult plays on Thursday evenings.
the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza is an outlet mall scheduled to open in March with a formal opening planned for April.
Auditions will take place in March to organize a large volunteer cast that will divide shows among its members, Averill said.
He said Thursday performances for adults would include improvisational serial soap operas.
He said children's plays would run at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturdays and at noon and 3 p.m. Sundays. Admission will be $2 to $3.
"The players make it up as they go along, but the story continues week-to-week," he said.
Averill said the theater would help draw families to the mall. Mall officials have reduced the剧院's rent to help maintain admission prices that are attractive to parents.
"I see it just as an opportunity to give people a chance to get involved with theater," Averill said. "We're not charging to make any kind of profit."
Steve Felix, leasing vice-president of the mall's developer, the Chelsea group, said the theater was an unusual addition to the mall.
"It was so unique and so relevant. It enables parents to leave their children in Rie's theater for 45 minutes to an hour," he said. "The premise is that it gives parents freedom for shopping."
Other mall leases are being filled, Felix said yesterday. He confirmed that several businesses had signed leases, including Banister Shoe, a division of U.S. Shoe Corp.; Aileen's, a women's sportswear maker; Enro Shirt Co., a shirt manufacturer; Leather Loft, a leather-good company; Toy Liquidators, a toy company; and Peruvian Connection, a sweater company now at 600 Lawrence Ave.
Felix would not confirm companies listed as future mall tenants by an outlet-mall trade publication, Value Retail News. The list included Van Heusen Shirts, Oneida Silver, Harve Benard and Jindo Furs. He said that one of the companies the journal listed had not leased space in the mall.
David Longhurst, representative for the Chelsea group, and Charles Bloom, president of the group, would not comment on potential tenants.
DYERSVILLE, Iowa — The farmer who owns part of the "Field of Dreams" outfield says he'll restore the land to playing shape in time for tourists this summer.
Farmer pledges return of the 'Dreams' field
The Associated Press
People came by the thousands last year to see the field created for the Kevin Costner film, but all they saw was the infield and most of right field maintained by farmer Don Lansing. The rest of the outfield was planted in corn on land owned by farmer Al
Ameskamp.
People came anyway, just as baseball greats of many years past appeared when a farmer played by Costner listened to a dream voice that told him, "If you build it, he will come."
In the summer of 1988, Ameskamp and Lansing agreed to let movemakers carve a baseball diamond in their fields during filming, and Ameskamp said he was amazed that people wanted to see the place a year later.
There has been talk of organized tours visiting the plot next summer, including some from Japan.
"I decided even before the Japanese thing that I'd put it back into grass this year so the field will be back like it was for the movie," Ameskamp said. "A lot of people stopped here and talked to us, and we tossed the idea around for a quite a while before deciding to do it."
Ameskamp said the field will once again return to crops in 1991.
Budig OKs big increase in Lied budget
By a Kansan reporter
Chancellor Gene A. Budig approved a $1.25 million increase in financing for the Lied Center, a KU official said yesterday.
Construction costs for the performing arts center were increased from $13.1 million to $14.35 million, said Allen Wiechert, director of facilities planning.
Construction costs for the performing arts center were increased from $13.1 million to $14.35 million, said Allen Wiechert, director of facilities planning.
Bids received by the University on Jan. 12 exceeded KU's original $13.1 million budget, Wiechert said.
The low bid, submitted by Universal Construction of Kansas City, Kan. still does not meet the new $14.5 million budget, Wiercich said.
He said the University and Universal would try to find reductions in the cost of the project. Universal should consider a new cost proposal in about a week.
Wiechert said the project would not progress until an agreement was reached between the University and the construction company.
Additional financing for the project come from Campaign Kansas, Wise University.
Campaign Kansas is the University's five-year, $177 million fund-raising drive.
The Lied Foundation pledged $10 million for construction of the center.
