Kansan ad staff wins awards at conference
This weekend at the 2000 College Newspaper, Business and Advertising Managers, Inc., conference, the University Daily Kansan advertising staff won the best staff award.
The award was given in the more than 40,000 weekly circulation category. The advertising staff also took three other first place awards for best newspaper promotion ad, best display ad banner and best promotional ad banner. The ad staff placed second in the trendsetter category and won third place in the best display ad spot color category.
Matt Fisher, sales and marketing adviser for the Kansan, said the award showed how hard the staff had worked all semester.
"To see the hard work and dedication that they put in everyday pay off was the most gratifying feeling," Fisher said.

Business school program to develop Web studies
A University of Kansas School of Business program has received a $142,561 grant to develop four Web-based case studies and tutorials on e-commerce and international business.
The two-year grant will go to the school's International Business Resource Connection (IBRC), a program devoted to encouraging trade opportunities and expanding international business education. The grant is being awarded by the U.S.
Department of Education's Business and International Education Program and will begin in July.
Dan Spencer, IBRC faculty director and associate professor of business, said the case studies would focus on four different groups, including high school and college students, and small- and medium-sized enterprises. The case studies will be embedded within tutorials on the IBRC Web site (www.ibrc.bschool.ukans.edu).
Spencer said the cases would detail the experiences of small business persons in internationalizing their businesses and pursuing international trade opportunities.

Maintenance will limit parking at Riverfront
For the next 12 weeks, weather permitting, parking on the 216-space upper deck of the Riverfront Plaza garage will be limited because of repairs and maintenance work.
"This is the first major repair we've done to the garage since it was built in 1989," said Gayle Martin, communications coordinator for the city.
For the first six weeks, the ramp to the upper deck on the Rhode Island Street entrance will be closed, Martin said. After that, the Rhode Island entrance will be opened, and the New Hampshire Street entrance will be closed.
About half the spots on the upper deck also will be closed for each phase of the repairs, Martin said, but at no time would access to the lower level be restricted.

Two local businesses are victims of theft
Two Lawrence businesses have reported money stolen by unknown suspects during the past two weeks.
The Brown Bear Brewery, 729 Massachusetts St., reported that $2,000 was stolen from a desktop in an unlocked office on the second floor of the bar. Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said that the theft occurred between 7 p.m. March 20 and 1 a.m. March 21, but that employees did not report it to police until Friday.
Employees told police that there were 50 to 75 people in the bar during the night of the theft. They were not sure whether the money had been taken by an employee or a patron, Wheeler said.
However, the manager at Burger King, 1301 W. 23rd St., thinks that the $500 taken from his restaurant's safe was removed by an employee, Wheeler said. The theft was discovered early Thursday morning when an
employee opened the store, Wheeler said.
He said that police had no suspects in either case but that they would continue to investigate both thefts.

Earl won't go to court if diversion is approved
Kansas basketball player Lester Earl may not have to attend his scheduled court appearance today.
If the Douglas County district attorney's office approves Earl's application for diversion, Earl's case will be dismissed, and he will not have to appear at 1:30 p.m. today before Judge Robert Fairchild.
The 23-year-old Baton Rouge, La... senior is charged
Earl: Waiting for approval of diversion application
with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license and speeding.
The charges stem from a routine traffic stop Jan. 23 that ended in Earl's arrest. Court records indicate that earl was traveling 47 mph in a 30 mph zone when he police stopped him at 3 a.m. in Fudora.
If the district attorney's office rejects Earl's diversion application, Fairchild will set a trial date.

Charging $5 per person for admission to an 11-keg party Friday night got a KU student and three Lawrence residents in trouble with Lawrence police.
Police issued notices to appear in municipal court to a 21-year-old male KU student, two 19-year-old male Lawrence residents and a 20-year-old male Lawrence resident on suspicion of operating an open saloon without a cereal malt beverage license.

When officers arrived at the apartment building, Wheeler said, they found a man standing in front of the building with a large amount of cash and a disc jockey playing music in the parking lot next to the building.
Wheeler said there were about 300 to 400 people at the party when police shut it down. Officers confiscated about $200 and 11 kegs of beer.
