Trafficway hearing to be held
By Joann Birk
Kansan staff writer
Members of the Lawrence community and students at Haskell Indian Nations University and the University of Kansas will have a chance to present their comments today to the agencies that will decide the fate of the controversial South Lawrence Trafficway.
John Pasley, project manager for the trafficway, said that all comments presented at the hearing would be considered before the final decision.
The agencies planning the trafficway have not expressed a preference about which route would be chosen, he said.
The hearing follows the release in October of a draft to the supplemental environmental impact statement, which presented three alternate alignments. The three routes, via 31st, 35th and 38th streets, were analyzed for their potential economic and environmental cost.
KU Environs has prepared a statement for the hearing, which will not support any of the three proposed alignments, said Amy Trainer. Derby senior
The public hearing, which is being held by Douglas County Public Works, the Federal Highway Administration and the Kansas Department of Transportation, will allow written and spoken comments.
The hearing will be held in Building 21 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Representatives from Haskell, the Federal Highway Administration, the Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency and Douglas County Public Works will be available to answer questions. Written comments will be accepted until Dec. 4 and can be mailed to Douglas County Public Works. 1242 Massachusetts St.

Sylvie Rueff, a member of the Coalition to Preserve the Wetlands, said that even though KU students were a transient group, they should be concerned about the welfare of Lawrence and its citizens.
Three possible routes for the Lawrence Trafficway have been proposed: 31st Street, 35th Street and 38th Street.
"If this were happening to KU it would be atrocious," she said.
Haskell, which has long opposed the trafficway, was the first group to ask that the county reassess the 31st Street route. Haskell is concerned that the proposed route will affect Haskell's property, cultural traditions and spiritual sites.
The Haskell Board of Regents said Monday that it would oppose the 31st and 35th Streets options but would not oppose a 38th Street alignment.
"If they would just go out to the wetlands and experience all that it has to offer, they would see the importance of this issue," she said.
Trainer said that any route north of the Wakarusa River was unacceptable because of the damage it would cause to the Haskell-Baker wetlands. Trainer said she hoped that KU students would get involved because the issue affected the environment's future.

Students will do stupid tricks for charity

Trafficway options

Eric Medill will be snorting dental floss on Friday at the Kansas Union.
Medill, Sedan senior, will be one of the participants in the Stupid Human Tricks Philanthropy from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the fourth floor lobby in the Union.
The event is part of Rock Chalk Revue, a year-long series of student fund-raising and community-service projects benefiting the Douglas County United Way.
Although event organizers said they were pleased with their lineup, they said they still hoped to recruit

ted to David Letterman for consideration for his television show, Timlin said. Stupid human tricks is a periodic feature on Letterman's "Late Night" talk show.
Medill, who plans to snort dental floss up his nose then run it out his mouth, perfected his stupid human trick after a friend dared him to floss his nostril.

The hardest part of the feat is getting the floss past his throat.
Contestants can sign up through Thursday at tables at Wescoe Beach, Robinson Center and the Kansas Union. The entry fee is $10 per person.

Although Medill has tried various flavors of floss, he likes mint best.
"The cinnamon sometimes burns," he said.
"The ones we have will be funny, but hopefully more people will sign up," said Jennifer Timlin, Edmond, Okla., senior and Rock Chalk community service director.
The event is free to watch.
The event will be judged, and each participant will receive prizes donated by local businesses.
At Mercantile, we have EVERYTHING a student needs including the most important ingredient: FAST FRIENDLY SERVICE.

universe's formative years that at one time were considered to be contradictory.
Melott said the universe was formed like a web, where galaxies were linked together in long chains. These chains are separated by large empty patches with the occasional galaxy interspersed between them.
The first theory was developed during the 1970s, he said. This theory stated that when the universe was created, larger structures formed first and then fragmented to form smaller structures — galaxies.
When his calculations are completed and the simulations are made, it will be time to match the theories with the real thing.
Pauls said that she was examining cross-sections of the universe to detect large clouds of hydrogen. The hydrogen clouds appear as dark masses under visible radiation and are difficult to detect, she said.
Jenny Pauls, Lawrence graduate student, is working with parts of Melott's theoretical research and existing hard data to compare it with the Hubble data.
Professor examines universe's structure
The second theory was developed during the 1980s. It says that smaller structures — minigalaxies — formed into the galaxies we have today, he said.

"My problems outgrew local computers," he said. "If KU had to buy this equipment, it would have cost them $50,000."
Quasars, which are at the very outskirts of the known universe, cast radiation through the hydrogen clouds on its way to Earth that allow them to be detected. Many of the stellar structures that Melott and Pauls are studying are created inside these hydrogen clouds, Pauls said.
Adrian Melott hasn't quite figured out how the universe works, but he's working on it.
Melott, professor of physics and astronomy, is conducting research to determine how the structure of the universe came to be and how it continues to expand. He said that some of this theoretical data would be compared with selected data from the Hubble telescope.
Meiott is using the University of Illinois' computer system to do his research. Melott said that the University of Illinois had faster computers that allowed him to run more calculations than he could on KU's systems. Illinois gave Melott 2,000 hours of access to its system because doing the research on KU's computers would have been nearly impossible, he said.
A 27-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Sunday in connection with two thefts at Robinson Center, KU police reported.
