Constitutional a ndments usually take five years.

The Highway Department is scheduled to get completed design plans early next year for about $140 million worth of major improvements to primary, non-interstate routes like U.S. 41 and U.S. 31. The multimillion-dollar design work is being financed with bonus money given the department by the 1967 General Assembly. The department; however, doesn't have funds to go ahead with construction for most of the work.

The remaining new revenue would be split this way: The Highway Department, 50 per cent; counties, 30 per cent on a population and mileage basis; cities and towns, 20 per cent on a population basis. In Marion County, the MTA apparently would get funds that otherwise would go to the city and the county.

Dale Burden, 28, and Rus sell Sanders, 19, were charged in Clark Circuit Court with possession of marijuana and dangerous drugs. Burden also was charged with being a common addict.

The men, Burden's wife Kathy, 18, and a 14-year-old girl were arrested Monday at a service station on charges of altering United States currency. The girl has been turned over to LaPorte County juvenile authorities. Three workmen the Hygrade Food Products Corp. on West Washington Street and a study of the Crown Hill neighborhood also were revealed. Wells, in outlining the expansion plans, said 71,000 students and staff were expected at the University Quarter in 30 years, and also estimated a need for 36,000 park ing spaces with only 5 per cent need for undergraduate housing.

Clark, vice-president 'and treasurer of I.U. said "Why would Indianapolis be planning to spend nearly a million dollars in Lockefield Gardens if there were any plans to demolish the for the University Quarter?" COMPLEX CALLED FAR-REACHING He' reaffirmed there are no plans to include the 1930 public housing project in the development, "In fact, if you look at these maps closely enough you will see the areia occupied by Lockefield Gardens is left out of any type of plans." Dr. Herman Wells, who will assume control of ILL Sept. 1, said the complex is the most far-reaching of any urban-university complex he has studied during the last several years. Lytle Freehafer, vice-president and treasurer of Purdue, again confirmed that unless the 1969 Legislature allocates the expansion financing, Purdue would have "no alternative than to stay on East 38th Street and develop those facilities." Architect Wells pointed out plans were to divert Michigan Street traffic along New York Street as a major thoroughfare into the edujatioa complex, with North, Locke and Agnes Streets as primary feedec.

arteries. The Quarter is bounded by Washington, 11th, Blake and West Streets. Chancellor Wells said housing on the campus would occupy only 20 acres and would be primarily for graduate students, and those occupied with medical studies', with parking around the perimeter of the Campus. BUILDINGS 'TO BE LINKED The architect said one center building planned for the complex would be linked to all the other buildings, to allow students and personnel to travel out of the weather. An- out-patient clinic also was envisioned in the plan, which would provide for dental and medical patients.
