The Llype W. Tombaugh Observatory, which closed in June 1988 because it failed to meet local building codes, again will be open to the stars when repair work begins this month.

The observatory is one of several building and renovation projects taking place at the University of Kansas. While the Dole Human Development Center is a few months from completion, construction on the Lied Center for the Performing Arts was delayed when bids exceeded its budget.
At the observatory, Stephen J. Shawl, professor of physics and astronomy, is trying to cope with the loss of equipment.
"It's been very negative," he said. "Our Friday night open houses have been canceled and that hurt the public.
"Students' educations have been harmed. We can't use it for lab use," Shawl said of the observatory.
Shawl is a member of the Astronomy Associates, an amateur astronomy club. The organization's meetings are held at the Astronomy Club.
The group has been bringing small telescopes to the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds for meetings, but
The observatory will come closer to reopening when one of its two starwells is repaired. The project, which will cost $39,750, is scheduled for later this month and will allow limited access to the observatory, Shawl said.
attendance has dwindled, he said.
Repair work also needs to be done on the roof and second stairwell, but specific plans for the work have not been made.
Across campus, the Dole Human Development Center is nearly complete.
The $12 million building needs a play yard for the preschool program, a connection between the center and Haworth Hall, interior finishing and other exterior work. The building will be completed, said Allen Wiechert, director of facilities planning.
The Dole center will house the Bureau of Child Research, Human Development and Family Research, Special Education and Radio-Television Film departments, Wiechert said.
The construction of the Lied Center ran into a sag Friday when bids received by the University exceeded the $13.1 million budget for the performing arts center.
Wiechert said that officials would meet Friday to study options and review the bids.
The Dole Human Development Center, on Sunnyside Avenue, will be completed this semester.
Jet fuel costs force airlines to boost fares
The Associated Press
Several U.S. airlines on Tuesday said that they were raising air fares again to offset jet fuel costs, the second such increase in two weeks by major carriers.
Officials for American Airlines, USAir and Northwest Airlines said they planned to increase by 10 percent the number of flights often used by business travelers.
American and Northwest also are adding a three-day advance purchase requirement, and USAir is setting a seven-day advance purchase rule, for fares in that category that now don't require advance purchase.
The changes are effective Jan. 24
(or Northwest and Feb. 1 for Ameri-
can).
Under American's changes, an unrestricted one-way fare between Chicago and Dallas, which was $314 Jan. 1, increased to $327 Jan. 11 and would go to $680 Feb. 1, when it must be purchased three days in advance. Another $6 increase will be added Feb. 9.
Spokesmen for United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Eastern Airlines said the carriers' officials were studying the 10 percent increase.
Earlier this month, industry leader American and other big U.S. airlines raised fares by 4 percent to help pay fuel costs and Northwest and others imposed a special fuel surcharge, the first such charge since the oil crisis in the 1970s. The 4 percent increase took effect on one-way tickets Jan. 11 and also will apply to round-trip tickets starting Feb. 1, said Mary O'Neill, a spokesman for American in Fort Worth, Texas.
She also said American planned a fuel surcharge of $6 one way and $12 round trip on all tickets, effective Feb. 9.
Northwest previously planned a $612 surcharge also to take effect Feb 9. US Air spokesman Susan Saul said a surcharge was under review
"All these actions are very much related to the skyrocketing fuel costs that we are seeing," said Al Becker, a spokesman for American.
