Jobs for Youth Proposed
By C. C. CALDWELL Kansan Staff Writer
Lawrence youths may have an unusual new opportunity for summer employment this year, according to Carl Johnson, a spokesman for the city's human resources department.
Johnson discussed the proposed program Wednesday night at the Lawrence Human Relations Commission's regular monthly meeting.
The program, called Youth Endeavors in Salesmanship (YES), is in the planning stage. It would be separate from and independent of the existing Summer Teen Employment Program (STEP) and would include a 100 students from the 160 provided by STEP. Johnson said.
The new program would be sponsored by a Lawrence citizen who wishes to remain in the city.
Johnson said after the meeting that the potential sponsor appeared to have worked out most of the details. Johnson is awaiting confirmation before working with the program.
As detailed by Johnson after the meeting, the YES program would incorporate two
The first phase, in June and July, would be for 50 years aged 13 and 14. The participants would work in pairs selling a toy or computer game and be an appropriate award for the top team.
The second phase of the program, in August, would be for 25 years aged 15 and 16. The basic format would remain the same except for the shorter time period.
The youths' income, undetermined at present, would remain the same in both cases.
Johnson explained the purpose of the program as a teaching process. He said it would be intended to teach the young people how to cooperate in business and with each other.
In addition, Johnson said, because the program would not be restricted solely to the underprivileged or those from low-income homes, there would be a double learning process in the interaction of youths from different income levels.
Another innovative program, the Hometown Plan, was discussed at Wednesday's meeting by Ray Samuel, director of the human resources department.
Samuel said this proposed program would be an extension of a Topeka program and would function as a joint Douglas and Shawnee County effort to enhance local employment opportunities in the skilled trades.
"Topeka will not be handling Lawrence money," Samuel said. "What we hope to do is to bring in over $1 million in revenue to Douglas County."
Samuel explained that the program would intend to maximize local employment opportunities even when out-of-town crowns were present. He said the point would be to utilize Lawrence labor as

Newly elected City Commissioner Fred Pence was in the audience at the Wednesday night meeting. Pence said he had been a part of the Beaver of the human relations commission.
During the meeting, Pence discussed with the human relations commissioners their understanding of what constituted hazardous summer employment for youth.
Pence's question arose because of a local newspaper's recent report that youths under 18 were ineligible for hazardous employment.
The commissioners and Pence agreed upon the ambiguity of the stipulation and

resolved to pursue the question further. In other action, the commission:
—Received a verbal brief from Samuel on a proposed Lawrence Boys Club operation tentatively planned for location above Duckwall's downtown store. Samuel said the emphasis in the program would be toward the less fortunate of all races.
—Discussed with representatives of the Volunteer Clearinghouse goals that may be overlapping with those of the commission agreed to cooperate in pursuit of the goals.

Commission Rezones For New K-Mart Store
Following a lengthy hearing of testimony from K-Mart representatives, area Douglas County Planning Commission Wednesday approved commercial rezoning of an 18-acre tract of land at the intersection of 4th and 20th streets, proposed as a site for a K-Mart retail store.
The approval, passed by the commission at a special meeting at South Junior High School, was given on the condition that there be no curb cuts on Iowa Street, that access to the store be on 31st Street and the proposed 34th Street, that screen buffering be installed in all streets, that there be adequate landscaping in the store's proposed parking lot.
The commission deferred a decision on commercial rezoning for the remaining 50 acres of the Armstrong tract for not more than two months in order to study the possible impact of additional commercial property in Lawrence.
The conditional approval and the decision to defer judgment were passed as one of the three decisions.
During the discussion, K-Mart spokesman defended the choice of the 31st and Iowa high school teams in the state's football season.
a reasonable price that would satisfy a requirements for the construction of a store.
a reasonable price that would satisfy size requirements for the construction of a store. The Environmental Improvement Council had criticized the proposed commercial zoning of the 18-acre K-Mart site and of the remainder of the Armstrong tract as an unnecessary addition of commercial space to unsuitable commercial acreage in Lawrence.
Ruppert also suggested that the comprehensive zoning plan for Lawrence that was passed in 1966 might have to be revised, adding that commercial zoning to the extent permitted. It should be considered only after careful study of the possible impact on area businesses.
Gene Riley, speaking for the owners of the Armstrong tract, stated that the new competition that would be introduced with the Armstrong tract would the tract would not hurt area businesses.
Nor would the commercial development invade residential section, according to Riley. He said that commercial zoning would provide the type of development that he wanted to make in Iowa Street will develop when it becomes four-laned in that area sometime in 1973.

Winter, who moved for adoption of the resolution approving Docking's order, also told the Senate there were expectations that the 1974 legislature will enact legislation to create a new division of children's services within the department.
The Senate also passed, 33-0, an appropriations bill, which had been requested by Docking, to fund a pilot program for a biomedical-based homes for juvenile offenders.
Also sent to Docking, on a 23-14 vote, was a bill establishing a new procedure for hiring architects for the state, including creation of a state negotiating committee to do the hire when a project is begun and to set a fee schedule.
That bill, an outgrowth of recent partisan squabbles over the hiring of architects for such state projects as the Capitol Area Plaza here and the University of Kansas Medical Center expansion in Kansas City, the city where the mayor is the Senate and one Republic. Vernillon
The Senate accepted conference reports on eight House bills with the final action on them coming in the House before they go to Docking.
