"We try to serve all the students in their daily lives, so who they are is central to our duty to perform our function." Diversity focus of demographics lecture the school had been trying to bring Hodkinson to speak at KU for the past three years. She said that 250 educators were expected to attend the three sessions but that the event was not just for those in the teaching community. By Jess DeHaven Kansan staff writer Suzanne Collins, certification officer in the School of Education, said Hodgkinson's findings also gave her a larger perspective. Predicting trends by monitoring the statistics of today is helping educators from KU and schools across Kansas and Missouri prepare for the students of tomorrow. Harold Hodgkinson, director of the Center for Demographic Policy, spoke twice yesterday about demographics and the ways it can help people better understand how diversity affects education. Hodgkinson will speak again at 9:30 a.m. today at the Apollo Room in Nichols Hall. Demographics is the study of information such as birthrate, life expectancy, poverty and crime. Cheryl Harrood, administrative assistant in the School of Education, said A large part of Hodkinson's discussion centered on changes in minority populations. He said the rise in the number of minorities showed the need for educators to understand the special needs of these students and the problems that they face, such as poverty. "These people need extra help because they don't have the advantages." "His message is universal and affects all of us," she said. "This is information anyone can use, no matter what field they are in." "Today's children will become tomorrow's adults," he said. "Of those "The global aspect is important in knowing national and international trends," she said. "You can't become so involved in your little corner of the world that you don't know what's going on elsewhere." To get this extra help, Hodgkinson said it was important for educators to understand where students were having difficulty making it to the college level. The states where students have the most trouble getting to college include those in the Southeast, such as Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida, while the best include Nebraska and Utah. Hodgkinson ranked Kansas in the second tier for sending students to college, based on U.S. Census information. who will be in the class of 2010,23 percent were born in poverty and over half to single parents. Lorna Zimmer, director of the Student Assistance Center, said she Biosciences to get new research center by 1996 Bv Ben Grove Charles Decdee, executive director of KU's Higuchi Biociences Center, calls them the most crowded scientists on campus. Kansan staff writer They are the faculty members who work for the research center in Malott Hall, where space has gotten tight, Decedue said. also state-of-the-art laboratories. The new building will be named the Dolph Simons Sr. Biosciences Center, for the late editor and publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World. By but early 1996, the space prob lems should be solved. This month the Board of Regents gave KU the goahead to prepare construction documents for a new two-story building to be built on West Campus. Decedeue said that the new building meant not only increased space but "Everything will be the most advanced of its kind," he said. The center now conducts research in four interrelated divisions; biomedical, bioanalytical, drug delivery and neurobiology and immunology. The new building will be attached to McCollum Laboratories on West Campus. Center research also is conducted in Smusman Research Laboratories and the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Laboratories on West Campus. Decedue said the new building would centralize the center's research and its scientists. "The more chances they have to bump into each other in the hall and ask each other about their exciting new research, the more we increase chances for collaboration." Decedue said. Valentino Stella, director of the research center's division for drug delivery research, said his labs needed areas dedicated to the handling of biochemical research. Much of the research center's work focuses on cancer research. One of the specialty labs will be used to grind plants into powder as scientists extract chemicals that can be used to fight cancer cells. The new building will contain administrative offices, 18 research labs and four speciality labs, he said. "It's a lab where that can be done effectively without the chance of contaminating other areas with dust," he said. "A few pounds of dried plant material can get quite messy. In the final analysis, you don't know what is in those plants." Decedue said that the new, more efficient labs would be designed specifically for the handling of the research center's most toxic materials. tion of potentially anti-cancer compounds," he said. "Of course, we do everything we can to cut the labs off to staff who are not properly trained, etcetera, but this will allow us to meet higher standards," Stella said. Allen Wiechert, University architect, said construction bids would be aken this fall. "We're definitely improving our capability to handle the new genera The new building will be paid for by grants totaling $4.9 million from the National Cancer Institute, a $4 million revenue bond approved by the state legislature to be repaid by KU and private gifts.
