What are some of the key decisions to be made in the Horizon 2020 document, which is a comprehensive land-use plan for the city of Lawrence?
"I don't think you can single out any issue. The document as a whole is important. It's planning for our neighborhoods and business districts. I think it's the most important issue that our new city commission will be forced to deal with."
What should the city do about traffic congestion around the University of Kansas?
That whole problem goes back to planning. If we would have had better planning years ago, maybe the whole problem could have been avoided. We need for the neighborhoods, KU and the city to get together to find the best solution for traffic flow around the University. We need to make sure that we don't

"I have close ties to KU. A lot of students work for me. I'm aware of the economic impact the University has on this economy. I know students have the same concerns and rights as other citizens."

What are some of the key decisions to be made in the Horizon 2020 document, which is a comprehensive land-use plan for the city of Lawrence?
"Zoning and planning for the future instead of for the present are some of the elements that should be included. We need to incorporate the neighborhoods into the plan as well as businesses.
Bob Schumm
It's a document that looks at the entire area and encompass a lot of things.
Because of that, it's hard to point out what are the most important things. Those are certainly two items that will be addressed, but since they are all related you can't put your finger on just one."

"We need to start off by addressing the public transportation issue in Lawrence. Right now we rely on alternate ways to get around, like cars, for example. We put people in a situation where they have to travel farther away

"I would hope that at some time we would use the land we have to update trafficways. We should preserve the downtown. I think it's essential to our local economy. We should also work to maintain the integrity of our neighborhoods.

Cafeteria serves up new student tastes
By Will Lewis
Kansan staff writer
Several carpet samples, a variety of contemporary dishware and about a dozen seats fill a room in the department of student housing.
They are waiting to be selected for the new Daisy Hall Dining Commons, an addition to Lewis Hall that is scheduled to open this fall.
From the space-conserving, trapezoidal table trays to the modern color scheme, the dining area will look more like a designer's dream project than an eating area where 700 students from the five area residence halls can eat together.
An occasional bang from a nail gun can be heard echoing throughout the 30,000-square foot multi-level project, where debris cover the floor. But the different food stations where neon signs will soon shine bright are beginning to take shape. And although the interior may not look all that pleasant now, at least the row of windows on the east side of the area provides a scenic overlook of campus.
"It's yet another change in what people have seen as dorm food," said Randy Timm, informational writer for the department of student housing.
"The longer serving hours and the fact that there are so many different choices will make it so you won't have to pick up a tray and follow the
Two separate serving lines and the overall floor plan will reduce waiting time, said Peggy Smith, associate director for dining services for the department of student housing.
"In the '60s, students didn't want to have a choice," he said. "Now we're into choice, now we're into variety, now we're into look again."
person in front of you," Smith said.
...eat a order in which students grab their food was worked into the plan. Desserts are first in line because they are easy to eat,冷硬 than it is to keep hot entries hot.
Smith said much of the food would be cooked at the point of service.
Cooks also will be able to work with students on an individual basis and cater to their tastes, she said.
"We tried to pick out full-time cooks who really had outgoing personalities." Smith said.
Matt Black, Lenena freshman and McColum Hall resident, said that he was looking forward to the change even though it would not be as convenient as walking downstairs to his hall's cafeteria.
The color scheme and seating arrangements within the eating area will vary from section to section to offer students a change of pace and different levels of intimacy.
"You get tired of seeing the same old thing," Timm said. "This way you can eat at several different places, several different days."
"I think it will be worth the walk," Black said. "I think it's a good idea. I think it needs to be done."
A new dining commons at the University of Missouri in Columbia is similar to the one that will open at Lewis.
Jolaine Kiehn, director of campus dining services at Missouri, said it took students some time to get accustomed to the new dining commons.
Kiehn said it was easier for students to get around the cafeteria once they figured out the new system.
"They were just so programmed to standing in line," she said.
She said the commons also allowed the best service and products to be given to students.
Daisy Hill Dining Commons
The new 700-seat dining commons next to Lewis Hall will have a food court atmosphere. It will serve Daisy Hill residents next year.

More Spanish classes created
Additional introductory Spanish classes will meet the needs of students at all levels of experience, said Roberta Johnson, professor of Spanish and head of the department.
beginning Fall 1993, students who have had some high school Spanish but less than two years, may enroll in Spanish 105, a new course that will prepare them for the second semester of Spanish at a faster rate than does Spanish 104, the first-semester Spanish course.
Spanish 104 will be offered as usual for students who have not taken any Spanish courses.
Students who have had two to three years of high school Spanish but are not ready for Spanish 212, the third semester Spanish course, may take Spanish 111, another new course. This course covers all of 104 and 108 in one semester.
The changes were made because students who came from high school with Spanish experience were not always as prepared for higher-level Spanish courses, Johnson said.
