Firm to cultivate students

Nearly 100 jobs are expected to be available for students in a new Lawrence business that markets milk-based cultures.
Culture Farms Inc., 2220 Delaware St., will test the purity of milk cultures grown across the country. After the testing and processing, the cultures will be sent to cosmetics companies for use in cosmetics, Terry Taylor, president of the company, said yesterday.
Taylor said the company hoped to hire many students from the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Junior College.
The company has been operating for 60 days, Taylor said, and now has 12 full-time employees and 15 to 20 part-time employees.
"We hope to employ 100-plus students from KU and Haskell Junior College operating on different shifts," Taylor said.
Taylor said one of the reasons for locating the company in Lawrence was the large number of college students he could be hired on various schedules.
HE SAID HE thought the nature of
the work, which would consist of processing, clerical and warehouse work, would make a long eight-hour day. Taylor said he hoped to hire students who would work two or three days a day at various times of the day.
Between 40 and 60 people would work at one time, Taylor said, at wages of $3.50 to $4.00.
KU's microbiology department was another reason for the company's location in Lawrence, Taylor said. Two professors from that department are working with the company as consultants.
Taylor said James Akagi, chairman of the microbiology department, and Delbert Shankel, professor of microbiology and biochemistry, would be working on quality control for future research for the company.
AKAG1 SAID THE company might be able to hire KU microbiology graduate students in the research and quality control areas.
Akagi said the work with the company was not affiliated with the University, but only with the two professors.
Both professors said they thought the company would offer valuable work experience for students.
"They will use a lot of students in shipping and receiving capacities," Shankel said.
Akagi said, "The experience can give the students good technical experience on what they have been taught and trained to do in the labs."
Shankel said the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce had called the professors when Taylor was thinking of bringing his company here this fall.
SHANKEL SAID THE use of the milk-based products for cosmetics was not new. He said many body products in the market were made from milk cultures.
The cultures are grown on a milk surface and become mature in seven days. They are then scraped from the surface and left to dry for another seven days, Taylor said, before they can be shipped to Culture Farms.
He said the process used to refine the cultures was secret. Culture Farms is the only company to refine milk-based cultures in the country, and Taylor said it was unlikely that similar businesses would open soon.
Taylor said the company also chose Lawrence because the city offered a central geographic location.
