New zip codes areas designated for town
by Kris M. Bergquist Kansan staff writer
The addition of two new zip codes in Lawrence and the adjustment of two others will not affect the University of Kansas' 66045 zip code, but it may affect some of the students who live off campus.
The two new zip codes will create two new zones:
The zip code changes would affect the areas west of Iowa Street, said Bill Reynolds, Lawrence postmaster, starting July 1, 1989.
60474: addresses west of Iowa Street and south of 15th Street.
66409: addresses west of Iowa Street and north of 15th Street, and addresses on 15th Street west of Iowa Street.
Lawrence's two existing zip codes will be changed:
6 6044: addresses east of Iowa Street and north of 19th Street, and addresses on Iowa Street numbered up to 1899.
6 6046: addresses east of Iowa Street and south of 19th Street, and addresses on Iowa Street numbered 1900 or higher.

"The city of Lawrence has grown to the point that the zip codes now aren't enough for all the residences and businesses." Reynolds said. "In
New Lawrence ZIP Codes
Reynolds is recommending that people start changing their zip codes immediately, although the official change does not start until July
1984, we added 66046. It wasn't anticipated that the growth would be so great. With the two new zip codes, they should last at least 10 or 15 years."

"The post office notifies six months in advance so people can use up their old stationery and get new rubber stamps." Reynolds said.
Reynolds said that people should notify their correspondents, including friends, banks and magazines if their zip code had changed. However, they would still get their mail even if the zip code is wrong.
When the zip code 60646 was added in 1984, Jeanne Baze, Lawrence resident, said that it was no problem for her.
"Actually, the zip code was never mandatory." Reynolds said. "However, it's easier to process and can be done at a cheaper rate with the zip code. Without the zip code, a letter could be delayed by at least a day."

"I never changed any of my addresses, and I got all my mail, even my junk mail." Baze said.
Address change notification is not always necessary, Reynolds said.
because the post office has an address information system that automatically makes the changes. Major mailers can make adjustments based on the changed addresses in the system.
However, Reynolds said customers still should make the changes themselves because they would be made faster and would reduce complications.

Trial date set for man charged with killing 9-year-old boy

March 13 has been set for the trial of John William, the 27-year-old transient charged with the kidnapping and murder of 9-year-old Richard D. Settlemyre of Lawrence.
Douglas County District Judge James W. Paddock filed a memorandum Tuesday in the Kansas Supreme Court supporting his decision to close a December pretrial hearing to the media
At the formal arraignment Jan. 6, when the trial date was set, William
told Paddock that he did not wish to appear at his arrangement. After he was told by the judge that he must be present to hear the charges against him, William, according to reports, continued to protest even as Frank D. Diehl, assistant district attorney, read the formal complaint.
William insisted on speaking out, disbeying the judge's request that he be quiet. He refused to enter a plea to the charges made against him, so Paddock entered a plea of not guilty of William's behalf.
Evidence disclosed at a three-day preliminary hearing Dec. 27-29 included a letter found in William's wallet describing the tying up and threatening of a person referred to as "Richard S.", coinciding in part with the mutilation of Settembre's body. However, authorities testified that they had not established who had written the letter.
the dismembered body of Settlemyre was found in the Kansas River near the Kansas Turnpike bridge, about a mile north of Lawrence.
the evidence hearing, which was conducted Dec. 7-8, closing the courtroom to everyone but those media representatives who agreed to report only evidence ruled as admissible.
William was arrested July 13 after
According to the memorandum filed by Paddock this week, an unusually large amount of media coverage prompted him to close the hearing
Paddock restricted press access to
In December, several media organizations, including the Lawrence Journal-World, filed a petition with the Kansas Supreme Court asking for a transcript of the hearing to be released.
Professor target of anti-Semitism
by Mary Neubauer Kansan staff writer
A poster covers the damage today. But a few weeks ago William Tuttle returned to his office after Christmas and stared at a swastika on his door. The Nazi symbol had been carved into the door in his absence, and he had some ideas about why his door was defaced.
"I think it's because of the anti-Klan rally we held in November," Tuttle, professor of history, said. "But it puzzles me that it took them over a month to react. It's possible they were students, members of the Kansas City Klan or just deranged people in the Lawrence area."
After discussions with a detective, Tuttle came to understand that a special hot line would be set up for people to call if they noticed graffiti, vandalism or other suspicious activities.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said the University of Kansas would not need to set up a new hot line because the University Information Center had been established in the '60s to deal with rumor control. She said the center also served as a place people could call to report things such as graffiti and vandalism.
Tuttle said that before the swastika was carved into his door, his nameplate twice was ripped off his door, torn up and then slid piece by piece under the door.
"The best thing is for the publicity and news stories to come out about these incidents and for the debate to occur." he said.
But Tuttle is not the only KU professor who has felt the effects of anti-Semitic opinions.
George Wedge, associate professor of English, said he found a swastika carved into his door the day before. Thanksgiving break and another Jan. 3 when he returned to his office after Christmas. His nameplate also was destroyed, and items taped to the door and an adjacent window were cut up.
"I found the first swastika after a letter to the editor I wrote was published." Wedge said. "I assume the second swastika was carved in the same time period Professor Tutte's was."
Wedge's letter to the editor said he went to his office on a Thursday evening to pick up some materials he had forgotten. When he got in the elevator after leaving his office, he found stickers bearing wastakas and "white power" slogans covering the elevator walls.
In his letter, Wedge wrote that "an increase in hateful activity in a community is a reflection of our own failures in fighting the battle against our own complacency."
our own competence.
Wedge said students in his classes commented about the letter after it was published and approved of it. He added that he reported both incidents to KU police.
David Katzman, professor of history, said his door had also been defended by anti-Semitic individuals.
"Last spring, people wrote things on my door like 'You dirty Jee'," he said. "I received death threats a number of times before that."
The fact that he is Jewish, is active in the Jewish community and is concerned with the block cause are threats he received threats. Katzman said.
"There has also been a general misunderstanding about affirmative action," he said. "People seem to think that unqualified minorities will get jobs over qualified majorities. Without institutions responding, these stereotypes will grow."
One of the best ways to battle these problems is with education to sensitize people to the pressures of living in a multi-racial community, Katzman said. He added that another way was through greater publicity.
"People feel free to express anti-Semitic and anti-black messages when there isn't much publicity," he said. "But with publicity and exposure that is informative and educational, the lid is kept on these expressions."

Praeger won't seek third commission term
City Commissioner Sandra Praeger announced yesterday that she had decided not to run for a third term.
"This decision was harder to make than my one to run," she said. "I had to determine the pros and cons not only for myself, but for the city."
ranger said the time commitment inherent in the commissioner's job was the largest reason behind her decision to stay out of the race.
"I took a new position at the Douglas County Bank, and I want to devote more time to my job and my family," Praeger said.
Though she no longer will be involved officially, Praeer said that she would not totally disappear from public life.
Looking back at her four years as a city commissioner, Praeager cited three accomplishments in particular as her best表现.
The southwest trafficway, which would connect the Kansas Turnpike and K-10 and is designed to alleviate traffic problems on 23rd Street, though not finalized, is an achievement that Praeger is proud of.
Dennis Constance has not yet filed for re-election and could not be reached for comment.
Sticking to your New Years' resolutions doesn't have to be difficult, especially if a good night's sleep is number one on your list. Because you'll get your best night's sleep on a handmade Blue Heron futon. Now it's even easier to own a new futon because you'll receive..
