KU hires firm to design new student rec center
The planned student recreation center moved one step closer to completion last week.
On Monday, University Architect Warren Corman said Ken Ebert Design Group Architects of Manhattan, Kansas has been selected to design the recreation
center.
Corman said another meeting is planned with the Ken Ebert firm to review the scope of services and the company's proposed fee. After an agreement has been reached, a formal written contract can be drawn up. Corman said.
Corman said that the recreation center will be one of the first buildings that students and visitors see when they drive onto campus from the south. "We want the recreation facility to be attractive for prospective students," Corman said.
Corman said that the Ken Ebert firm was selected from a short list of five architectural firms. Corman said the Ken Ebert firm built a $7.9 million, 76,000 square foot addition to the student recreation facility at Kansas State University.
Corman also said that bonds will be issued in September to finance the project, and afterwards the architectural firm may begin work at the site.

Merc considers move to Ninth and Iowa space
ers of the Community
Owners of the Community Mercantile Co-op have purchased a two-month option to lease the retail space formerly occupied by Alvin's IGA at Ninth and Iowa.
Community Mercantile board mem ber Lisa Harris said the store still had no plans to move.
"We are having market research done and we are doing our own research too," Harris said. She said the board of directors plans to consider the cost of moving the store and will review all of the available information before making a decision at the end of August.
Harris said that the board's decision was not influenced by the possibility of a health food store moving into the vacated IGA space. Harris said board members were looking at the situation in terms of what is best for the store and the customers.
Joe Schmidtberger, owner of Alvin's IGA, said he wanted to give the Community Mercantile "first dibs on the location because it is a local company."
"I've got three other companies looking at the space. They are doing market research now. If the Merc says no, the other companies will be ready to roll," he said.

Paw, 2 Skinny Js rock virtual concert online
The Web site is sponsoring a festival that includes two Lawrence venues. At 10:45 p.m. Sunday, 2 SkinnyJs will perform live from the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
Music fans can experience a concert from their computers by going to www.digitalclubnetwork.com this weekend.
Paw will be broadcast at 11:45 p.m. on Monday from The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St
Boulderock, FRS New Hampshire St.
Sarah Bell, publicist for digital
club, said that the concerts would
n't be just a rebroadcast but an
entire concert experience where
users could order souvenirs, go to
food booths and get food delivered
and order drinks and have them
delivered.
Neither the Granada nor The Bottleneck had arranged for merchants to deliver food.
Bell said users would need to download RealPlayer to listen to the concerts, but the download was free.
"They have to register but it's free," said Nicole Geist, manager at the Granada. "Basically it gives people the opportunity if their favorite band is playing in another city a chance to see it."

'The Worm' pleads guilty to driving his rod drunk
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Dennis Rodman pleaded guilty yesterday to drunken driving and will attend a three-month alcohol education program.
Rodman entered the plea through his attorney, Paul Meyer. The former NBA bad boy wasn't required to be in court.
Rodman will pay about $2,000 in fines and fees and will have his driving privileges restricted, prosecutor Tony Ferrentino said.
Dennis Rodman
Rodman's blood-alcohol level was 0.15
percent — almost twice California's legal limit of 0.08 percent — when he was arrested Dec. 22 while behind the wheel of a Bentley after leaving a shopping and restaurant complex.
Rodman also pleaded guilty to driving without a valid California license. At the time, he was driving with a Texas license. Rodman lives in Newport Beach.
Rodman said through his lawyer that he voluntarily enrolled in the alcohol education program before the plea was entered.
