Lake may close parks at Clinton
Budget cuts could affect many acres
by John P. Milburn Kansan staff writer
Cuts in federal financing for fiscal year 1990 could force the closing of 525 acres of Clinton Lake to the public, said Vic Counts, project manager.

on Vistula. He资助 the corps owned 23,000 acres at Clinton, which are leased to the Department of Wildlife and Parks and other state agencies. About one million people visit Clinton every year.
Woodridge, a 450-acre park used primarily for hiking, would be closed to the public. Counts said the area received 3,500 visitors annually.
"That area is very primitive," he said. "The corps maintains only about 10 acres. The rest is left in its natural state."
Another area that would be closed is the 50-acre campground at the outlet, which is below the dam. The area around the outlet would remain open for day use, Counts said.
Twenty-five acres of Bloomington Park also would be closed. Counts said. The park contains isolated campsites for tents, a shelter house

He said there had been no negotiations between his department and the corps on leasing the areas to the state. He said discussions would depend on the 1990 budget.

Local film fans like more movie screens
But some theater owners think pie is sliced too thin by competition
by Christine Winner Kansan staff writer
In the style of movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, local moviegoers have given two thumbs up to the addition of six movie screens in Lawrence.
When Dickinson Theatres, 2339 Iowa St., opened in May, the number of movie screens in Lawrence increased to 15. In August, Dan Cope, manager at Dickinson, said that 15 screens were too many for Lawrence to support.
But Elden Harwood is not as enthusiastic about the new competition. Harwood, city manager of United Artists/Commonwealth Theatres, was district manager a year and a half ago when Hillcrest Theatres, Ninth and Iowa streets, decided to expand from three screens to five.
Cope has since changed his mind.
He said that at that time, he was unaware of Dickinson's plans to build in Lawrence, and the resulting competition has detracted from his business.
"It's dividing up the pie," Harwood said.
Cope has since changed his mind. Ticket sales at UK studios have been higher, Cope said, and have increased 50 percent in the past several weeks. He attributed the increase to the return of KU students and a popular movie line-up.

Christmas time and summer are the peak times for the Dickinson gives the public more choices, she said.
And choices are what the public seems to want. Christine McFarland, Arkansas City freshman, said she liked Dickinson Theaters because of the variety of the movie line-up and the size of the theaters.
"Dickinson has more variety than downtown," Tuckey said. But she also said that the movie determined which theater she went to.
Iowa streets, said that the number of movie screens was not a problem.
Ranze Blann, manager of the Varsity and Granada theaters on Massachusetts Street. agreed that the movie was the most important factor for the audience.
Jill Tuckey, Kirkwood, Mo. fresh,
said that among all the theaters in
Lawrence, she went to Dickinson
most often.
"If you have a picture people want to see, they'll go to whatever theater is showing it." Blann said.
He said that the opening of Dickinson had detracted from his business but that the movies he had been able to offer had determined ticket sales.
"You can't build enough screens during the busy times." Lawson said.
"It's a feast-or-famine business," Blann said. "It's not consistent on a week-wek basis. There are so many entertainment dollars in this town."

Club wants bins in Wescoe as part of recycling efforts
Kansan staff writer
by Max Evans
If all goes well tomorrow for Sue Ask, Wesco Hall will be the new site for some recycling bins.
Brian Schwegmann, Salina senior and a member of Environs, said, "A lot of the details have yet to be worked out."
"We've already got storage in Wescoe, and we've contacted some recycling facilities in the area." Schwegmann said.
He said, however, that Enviros was ready to begin the recycling effort if they obtained permission from the committee.
Ask, Great Bend senior, is a member of Environs, a KU student organization concerned with environmental awareness. Tomorrow, she will seek permission from the Events Committee to place receptacles for aluminum, newspaper and computer paper in the corridors of Wescoe.
Environs was founded four years ago at KU by environmental studies students, Ask said. The group meets 6 p.m. Wednesdays in Parlor C at the Kansas Union. The meetings are open to anyone who would like information on environmental issues, Ask said.
Environs will have an information table set up from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today in the Kansas Union. Along with general information concerning
