Meyers said that at least 25 KU students would be involved in the conference, including a performance by a jazz band and help in the closing dinner Tuesday evening.
Community and KU involvement in the conference is diverse, ranging from security help by the KU and Lawrence police department to meetings held at the Smokehouse, 719 Massachusetts St.
Robert Scumm, who owns The Smoketown and two other downtown restaurants, said his restaurants would have from 10 to 15 extra chairs to accommodate the expected extra business.
VIRGINIA THRALL, assistant regional director of the conference, said yesterday afternoon that all 192 rooms at the Holkame were registered for Sunday. Mike Karnis, president of the Holkame St. said 75 rooms were booked for Sunday, compared with about 45 the past few weeks.
She and three other conference employees were busy last night taking reservations, making bates, typing materials and stuffing two more conference employees this weekend.
Thrall said that more than 95 of the 300 or so registered for the conference were members of the media. The conference will not be open to the public.
The key speaker at the conference will be Mancur Olson, author of "The Rise and Decline of Nations" and a specialist who studied regional health. He is a consultant for Health, Education and Welfare in the late 1980s.
The governors of Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin are expected to attend. Gov John Y. Brown, D.Kentucky, is recovering from surgery and will be absent; Gov Richard Celeste, D-Ohio, also will be absent because the Ohio Legislature is in session.
setting very high standards. I push, coax and cajole — whatever it takes to get them interested."

Bengtson said his frequent interaction with students made his job enjoyable.
"I guess I'm like a lot of other journalism professors," Beugnton said. "I spend a lot of time at my job."
Bengtson said that this was the fifth time he had been a finalist for the Hope but that he still had not made it.
"JUST TO BE ONE of the semi-finalists is a terrific勇尔." Bengtson said. "I saw who was running, and I must say they all have fantastic reputations."
'Stern, a six-year KU veteran, was also nominated for the award last year.

The award requires only a simple majority of the Academy's members. Gyllensten said. He declined to say whether Lundkvist would be expelled from the body.
"It's a great accolade to be told by your students that they consider the effort you've put toward teaching, because they don't have to wait for feedback from you." Stern said. "I really kind of flowers me."
Golden, marked by his experience during World War II, has sought to illuminate the story of the war.
During World War II he joined the Royal Navy taking part in the sinking of the German
battleship Bismark and the Allied landing in Normandy on D-day.
"ANYONE WHO MOVED through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey, must have been blind or wrong in the head," he wrote later.
The Swedish Academy yesterday rewarded that vision, expressed in a lifetime of literary work, with the 1983 Nobel Prize for Literature.

"It's absolutely impossible," Whitenight said. "You would have to be Mandrake the Magician to get it done in that time."

No work can be done on a petition until the City Commission selects one of three downtown redevelopment plans it is considering because the city's zoning laws could be different depending on what plan is chosen.
"Well, at age 72 and having been writing since the age of seven, I don't think one needs encouragement to go on. One does it almost mechanically." Golding said yesterday from his home in the village of Bowerchalk in southwestern England.
THE CITY COMMISSION has indicated no desire to change the dates. However, all the commissioners said that they would agree to changing the dates if it looked as though not changing them would hurt the downtown redevelopment effort.
The DIC declined to make an official request for a time delay, preferring to wait until Oct. 18 when the City Commission was scheduled to name a developer for the downtown project.
The DIC yesterday also delayed plans to review the latest proposals from Sizerel Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La., until Sizerel makes a presentation to the City Commission. The presentation is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at City Hall.
The prize will bring Golding a gold medal and a record 1.5 million Swedish kronor ($200,000) in prize money.
Sizerel will be explaining changes it wants to make in Option 3, a variation of Scheme 4, a downtown redevelopment plan that was tentatively approved by the City Commission in the spring.
Proposal
"TM STILL SCOPING out the situation," she said. "I'm not unfavorable toward the project. There are still many questions that need to be answered."
One of the most important concerns for the commission is seeing a complete financing
Initial figures presented by the group of local architects, planners and developers working on the project indicated it would cost the city about 25 percent less than the downtown proposal being considered from Sizeeler Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La..
Sizer had an initial cost estimate of $4.63 million compared to Town Venture's estimated cost.
Diane Schwaada, leader of Town Venture, said that his group would finance $26 million of the fund.
Commissioner Ernest Angino pointed out three basic concerns with the Town Venture押
The commissioners indicated that they would need more information to make a choice among, Town Venture, Sizeer and a plan presented last month by local developer Ron Holt, who wants to build a shopping center in the 600 block east of New Hampshire, along the Kansas River.
*The Lawrence National Bank is one of the primary land owners in the area and would have to do more.
approve of the plan and approve financing in the form of general obligation bonds.
Shwada and Richard Zinn, the attorney for the development group, said that the bank had indicated a willingness to cooperate. He said it would be necessary to formation of the bank's initial agreement to cooperate.
*The group needs to be able to attract two department stores to Lawrence.
The other problems are not unique to the Town Venture proposal. Town Venture would need about $2.3 million in general obligation bonds, a figure similar to the Sizerel figure.
- The citizens of Lawrence would have to
IN AN EFFORT to get public feedback on the plan before Oct. 18, the City Commission scheduled a public hearing for 7:30 p.m. today at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
Zinn said it was not the experience of the developer that would bring a department store to Lawrence, but the quality of the plan and the available market.
In addition to Zinn and Schawada's development company, Duane Schwada and Associates, several architects are involved in the corporation.
Bob Gould and Dave Evans of the Gould-Evans partnership are working on the project with Richard Peters, Brian Kibuato and Dale Johnson. He was one of Ken Wilson, an architect for Schwaba has been
involved as has John Selk, an engineer with Landplan Engineering.
Schwanda called the plan a "true urban solution to the downtown," rather than a "real city."
IN THE PLANS, the shopping center would occupy almost all of the area between Vermont and New Hampshire streets and Sixth and Seventh Streets. The plan calls for saving the Lawrence Journal-World building and a building owned by the independent study division of the National Parks, both of which are on New Hampshire Street at the eastern end of the proposed mall.
Next to the Opera House, the developers would build a 10,000 square-foot plaza that would lead to the main entrance and which could be used for downtown activities.
Like the Sizer project, this one calls for the city to acquire the land by eminent domain.
BANK OFFICIALS HAVE indicated that in situations where they are to be razed, they could reallocate some have been
Although the project would occupy less ground space, the total area will be about the same as the Sizerel plan. Schwanda said 250,000 to 260,000 feet of space would be available for leasing for shops and department stores. Schwanda said the site could allow up to 340,000 square feet if needed. The Sizerel plan calls for 265,000 feet of space.
Alcohol
continued from p.1
Teachers present the program to the students in a week long session. For about one hour every day for a week, the teachers include the program in their lesson plans, Charley said.
The entire school goes through the program at the same time, Charley said. That way, students talk about the program to each other and reinforce the program, she said.
The program is not just in Lawrence, though. The Wichita school district has 76 grade schools, Charley said, and all of them have the Starting early program. Baldwin, Topeka, Manhattan, Emporia, Garden City and Scott City schools have also looked at the program.
SOME POLICE DEPARTMENTS, such as those in Emporia and Larned, and several mental health clinics have also purchased the program, McGranahan said. Police departments often use Starting Early in their presentations to schools. And the program is centered on improving self-esteem, McGranahan said.
The kindergartners learn about the effects of alcohol by playing games, McGranahan said. One is much like the Sesame Street game. Which of these things is not like the other?" McGranahan asks. "They drink and one a can of beer. Then they have to pick out the one that does not belong.
