Regents approves land gifts to KU
Endowment donation gives KU ownership of Lied, laboratories
By Christoph Fuhrmans Kansan staff writer
WICHITA — The Board of Regents authorized the University of Kansas to accept the Lied Center and the Smissman Research Laboratories, both located on West Campus, as gifts of property from the Kansas University Endowment Association during the Regents meeting at Wichita State University yesterday.
The board policy manual states that any Regents institution must receive approval from the board before accepting gifts from an association.
Ed Meyen, executive vice chancellor, said that the Regents approval
made the center and the laboratories officially part of KU.
The Endowment Association constructed the laboratories in 1979 at an estimated cost of $843,085. KU leased the laboratories from the Endowment Association for about $100,000 a year. The final lease payment was made July 1.
The recently completed Lied Center was built by the Endowment Association and partially funded by the Lied Foundation of Omaha, Neb. The foundation donated $10 million for the construction of the center. The remaining $4.6 million came from private donations.
The center opened Sept. 28 with a performance of "The Secret Garden."
"It absolutely is a beautiful facility, something that Kansas can be proud of," said Shirley Palmer, a Regent from Fort Scott who attended the opening performance.
In other action, the Regents:
authorized issuing revenue bonds that would provide half of the funding for the construction of the Dolph Simons Sr. Biosciences Center on West Campus. The bonds will have a $4.2 million limit.
Richard Mann, University Director, said that the other half of the funds would come from private donations.
The board also authorized a pledge of revenues agreement with the Kansas Development Finance Authority, which will issue the bonds. The bonds will be repaid with funds from the Biosciences Research Center Special Revenue Fund.
The revenue pledge will provide money to the special revenue fund to make sure the bonds are paid.
- approved increasing the cost for finishing the interior of the Parrott Athletic Center from $3.45 million to $3.678 million.
Study works to help elderly live at home

Staying at a hospital in Denver, the town where her mother lives, has made the situation worse.
Jennifer Holvoet, a KU research coordinator, did not want to put her mother in a nursing home.
"She's just not making progress there," Holvoet said.
But at 60 pounds, her mother was too frail to live alone, and Holvoet's house did not have a bedroom or bathroom on the first floor.
family or friends nearby, Holvoet said.
"I felt that, if she was going to make progress, this was the best way to do it." Holvoet said.
But a small grant from the National Institute on Aging has given both women an option.
Special features such as ramps and a handicap-accessible bathtub allow people with disabilities to be self-sufficient with the security of having
The Institute for Life Span Studies is conducting research on a handicapaccessible temporary apartment that can be set up in a garage. It is hooked up to the house's utilities and sewer lines.
"It's a self-contained apartment without the kitchen," Holvet said.

Holvoet, who also works at the institute and has spent 20 years working with people with disabilities, is one of five families participating in the study. The apartments have been set up in Topeka, Liberal, Lawrence and near Great Bend. The study still is looking for a fifth participant.

Holvoet said that her mother was very independent but had suffered from malnutrition recently and needed special care. The apartment was a temporary answer until her mother was strong enough for a retirement community, she said.
The study is paying for the $1,000
and families who have friends or relatives in a nursing home.
Her mother will arrive Monday.
"Hopefully it will be set up next week," Hovoetsa了.
M a r k Matthews, associate director of the gerontology center, said that the study would interview the five participating families, other family members who are care givers
The study, which may be a preliminary step for a larger study, began two or three months ago, Matthews said, and will end in December. When this study is done, the institute may conduct a formal three-year evaluation.
