The show, which is sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, will include how-to demonstrations on moving by Coleman American Moving Services Inc., 721 E. Ninth St., and on make-up by Avon Products, 1836 W. 27th Terrace.
"This is a chance for businesses to display their products so the public can see what they have to offer," said Mary Jo Doherty, owner of Expositions Inc., the firm coordinating the show.
John Ralston, an internationally known chef who has prepared meals for Queen Elizabeth II of England and opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, will conduct three, 30-minute cooking demonstrations during the weekend.
The show will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Career conference to provide information about jobs abroad
Representatives for international companies will provide information about careers abroad tomorrow at the International Career Conference in the Kansas Union.
The conference runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $8, which does not include the lunch featuring a keynote speaker.
Cathy McClure, conference coordinator, said the conference mainly was for students to gain ideas about working outside the United States.
She said the representatives would answer students' questions, such as how proficient they must be in a foreign language, the importance of study abroad, and what skills were necessary for a job outside of the United States.
"This will give them a real foothold on an international career," McClure said.
Ambulance service to conduct free CPR training at car dealership
The Douglas County Ambulance Service is conducting four nights of CPR training free to the public at Jim Ellen Auto Plaza, 2112 W. 29th Terrace.
The first three nights — Wednesday, March 17 and March 24 — teach adult CPR. The last night, March 31, teaches children's CPR. The classes run from 6 to 9 p.m.
Participants need only to attend classes on one night to become certified by the American Heart Association, said Pat Mayo, coordinator for Project I Can Help, the public service division of the ambulance service.
About 50 spots are open for each night's classes. Those interested need to sign up for Wednesday's class by Monday.
To register, call 843-7777.
The car dealership sponsors the classes, which normally cost $15. The dealership started providing the classes last March, four months after its owner, Jack Ellena, underwent CPR after suffering a heart attack.
Haskell searches for new name as college's mission changes
Employees, students and alumni of Haskell Indian Junior College are being asked for ideas as the school searches for a new name.
The institution plans to offer its first four-year degree this fall. Officials said "Haskell" would remain part of the name but that "Junior" would be deleted when the new name was adopted in the fall.
Haskell President Bob Martin said the name would reflect the college's changing mission.
Haskell will offer a teacher-education baccalaureate program in the fall, its first four-year degree.
Recommendations for the new name are by March 31, said Ray Morgan, Board of Regents chair.

Revenue code budget vetoed
By Brett Riggs
Kansan staff writer
Student Body President Brad Garlinghouse yesterday vetooed the proposed revenue code budget, citing the need for the budget to include increased revenue from a proposed activity fee increase.
On Feb. 24, Senate passed both the $1,152,950 budget and a bill to raise the student activity fee by $3, which would add a projected $135,000 to the budget for next year.
Student senators augmented the budget by taking money from the Senate unallocated account — a coffer used to meet organizations' weekly money requests. The senators intended to replenish the
fund, which would have dropped to $234 from $22.498, by raising fees.
The projected revenue was not included in the budget when it was passed last week. Garlinghouse said that he thought it should have been.
"We need to account for the increase in the activity fee," said Garlinghouse, who will submit the budget at next week's
Kevin Sigourney, Senate treasurer, said he agreed with the decision to veto the budget.
Senate meeting.
By sending the revenue code budget back to Senate, it is possible that it could be changed. Garlinghouse said.
He said that he wanted to put the money in the Senate unallocated account rather than reopen Senate debate to redecide allocation of funds to revenue code groms.
"I think it would be best to put it in the unallocated account," Garlinghouse said.
He said if Senate broke into debate about allocation of funds, he would move to table the budget bill and call an emergency meeting for March 13, which would give Senate
more time to make good decisions.
One of Garlinghouse's complaints about the first budget was that the finance committee, which formed the proposed budget, did not provide adequate information for senators to make good decisions.
According to Senate rules and regulations, the finance committee must submit each revenue code group's original budget request and an explanation for financing each recommendation.
"I want a breakdown of every group's budget," Garlinghous said. "I want to see who's in it."
Jayhawks win sales for T-shirt vendors
Sigourney said he wished the budget could be sent back to the finance committee to propose a new budget using the increased revenue.

Immediately after the KU men's basketball team won the Big Eight Conference championship Wednesday night, the team sported the official T-shirts now in high demand at Lawrence stores.
Screen-It Graphics of Lawrence, 315 N.E. Industrial Lane, had printed in advance 25,000 T-shirts celebrating the championship to be sold immediately after the Jayhawks won the game, said Doug Hamilton, manager of the store.
The company printed 4,000 more shirts after the victory to distribute throughout the state.
The Kansas Union Bookstore has the official victory shirt and another, unofficial version.
Monica Seiter, assistant manager of merchandise at the Union, said that the bookstore had about 140 of each shirt in stock, but that it would order more to meet the demand.
Jonathan Martin, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, bought three of the official T-shirts at the Union: one for himself and two for his parents.
Joanne and Bob McPhee of Overland Park check sizes on T-shirts commemorating the Kansas men's basketball team's Big Eight Conference championship.
"I just wanted to show my support for the team because it has done so well this year," he said.
Seiter said that alumni wanting the shirt from all across the state had been calling the bookstore.
Deana Podrebarack, assistant manager of Jayhawk Spirit, 935 Massachusetts, said that the store received calls all day yesterday. Jayhawk Spirit does not carry the shirt
worn by the players after the Nebraska game but has a style unique to the store.
Podrebarack said that many of the calls were from people wanting the shirts the players wore after the game.
Hamilton said that the official shirt worn by the players always was popular with fans.
"People like to be able to get merchandise the players put on after the game," he said.
Hamilton said the Jayhawk's performance influenced sales.
"It is definitely a boom to our business," he said. "Each year, particularly the years that KU does well, there is a marked increase in business."

The debate about abortion rights will be the topic of a speech given by the former president of Planned Parenthood at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Faye Wattleton has traveled the United States speaking on reproductive rights and has been a consultant of national politicians and foreign leaders on family planning issues.
She received the American Public Health Association's 1980 Award of Excellence.
Although she no longer has any formal
ties with Planned Parenthood, a national organization that defends abortion rights, Wattleton still is involved with issues concerning reproductive rights.

State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, who will introduce Wattleton tonight, said she was looking forward to Wattleton's speech.
"I certainly admire Ms. Wattleton because of the work she has done for all people, not just women," she said. "I'm honored and delighted to be introducing her. She's a role model for a lot of women."

vorsors coordinator, said Wattleton was
chosen to speak at KU because several selection committee members had requested her.
"Some of our members have seen her on TV and were very impressed with her sneaking." Hsu said.
The lecture is sponsored by SUA, KU ProChoice Coalition, Women in Law and the National Organization for Women. A reception will be held after Wattleton's speech in the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union.
Tickets are available at the SUA box office. They cost $1 for students and $3 for non-students.
