Lawrence schools win national award
By Ann Marchand

Unified School District 497, the Lawrence public schools, has been selected to receive the National Awards Program for Model Professional Development award from the Department of Education and first lady Hillary Clinton.
"The district is delighted about the award," said Bonnie Dunham, communications coordinator for Lawrence public schools. "It is a wonderful recognition for a thorough staff development program."
Five schools or school districts in the nation were chosen to receive the award. Criteria included teacher effectiveness, training and ongoing development.
Sandee Crowther, division director for staff development for Lawrence public schools, and George Crawford, associate professor of education and Lawrence Board of Education president, accepted the award at a ceremony
in Washington D.C.yesterday. According to Fall 1996 enrollment statistics provided by the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning, 964 graduates of
Hillary Clinton
Lawrence High School attend the University, which is about 3.5 percent of KU students.
Anthony Gasper, Lawrence junior, said he was surprised that Lawrence Public Schools had received the award.
"At Lawrence High, I was fairly impressed," he said. "Some of the teachers were really outstanding, and others were just decent."
Lawrence Public Schools will receive a 89,000 award to continue the Results-Based Staff Development program.

Senate committee wants response from administration
By Dave Morantz
Kansan staff writer
Upset with the administration's lack of communication, the Student Senate University affairs committee recommended a petition last night requesting that the administration create a centralized location for payment of enrollment holds.
Jamie Johnson, student body vice president, introduced the petition after having little success contacting administrators.
"I just want to get the lines of communication open," he said. "I've been calling them three times a week for the past three months, and my calls haven't been returned."
A petition, unlike a bill or resolution, calls for action by a University organization, in this case, the administration. The committee passed Johnson's petition by acla-
mation, meaning that no vote was necessary because the entire committee supported the petition.
"If the administration wants students to take Student Senate seriously, they must take us seriously as well," said Mike Walden, liberal arts and sciences senator.
The full senate must approve the bill before presenting it to the administration.
The committee also approved a resolution calling for the installation of more blue safety phones on campus. The resolution, introduced by Kevin Lafferty, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, would centralize funds for 51 new safety phones. Each safety phone is paid for by the departments in the building nearest the phone.
Lafferty said that the Office of Public Safety mandated that a safety phone be visible from anywhere on campus.
"Because each building currently funds the phones, they're only near certain buildings," he said. "This will ensure that the phones are placed all over campus."
