Students draw county plans
By JOE REBEIN

The expanded downtown, the neighborhoods that surround it and the rolling farmlands of Douglas County that support two KU urban planning students.
Their assignment is to draw up workable plans for the area, but it is not an ordinary assignment because they might become reality in the county.
Bob Hossack and Steve Allison, both second-year urban planning students, have worked for the University of Utah's planning staff since September 1979.
"Being in the planning school will teach you the jargon and get you a job in the planning, but the actual on-the-job experience is applicable to our field," Allison said.
Hossack agreed. "Through this internship I will have two years of experience, when a lot of students try to work without any experience," he said.
HOSSACK AND Allison both said the internship had been beneficial and not just a job making coffee and preparing docaries for the full-time employees.
"We try to give them as much exposure as possible through staff planning projects and their own projects," Dean Palos, planning supervisor for the two students, said.
"They have been a real help to us because they both are exceptional interns who turn in professional-level work."
Both Hossack and Allison have participated in the surveys and
planning of downtown Lawrence. Hossack conducted a survey of multi-family buildings and office space, while Allison reported on the condition of the existing downtown structures.
IN ADDITION TO working on the downtown plan, both have picked specific projects to concentrate on.
Hossack provided the research for a guide concerning the preservation of prime agricultural land in Douglas County.
To write the study, Hossack had to immerse himself in agriculture, an area in which he had no previous knowledge.
"Mainly the job was getting literature about the problem and talking to people around the country who had worked on this problem," she said. "Then I surveyed Douglas County to see what was going on.
"It was an ongoing process," he said. I started the process in the summer 1890 and presented it to the planning commission in January.
ALLISON DEVELOPED a plan for north Lawrence. He said he first used a questionnaire to find the landlord, and took landlord survey huyvyyyy are finding a plan.
Allison said some of his proposals were accepted by the planning commission.
Allison also helped in the rezoning of a portion of Alvamar Golf Course and presented the city's response to the 1980 federal census, which Lawrence had fewer residents than city officials had reported.
The two interns put in 20 hours a
week at the office, while taking courses at KU.
LAWRENCE AND KU used to split the costs of paying the interns, but now the city pays their entire salaries.
Allen Black, the Urban Planning intern director, said that internships were not required, but were encouraged.
"We've had interns in Kansas City, Kan., Johnson County, Olathe and other cities," he said. "We don't have summer interns, but most students manage to find an internship."
Hossack and Allison have social science backgrounds. Neither had any architectural experience, but that was not a necessity for a planner.
"An architect looks just at the particular project he is working on," Hossack said. "A planner looks at the whole picture, the relationship that a particular development has to the rest of the city.
"The plans we prepare will be the guidelines for the city. We determine the practicality of a development."
BOTH STUDENTS like to get out of the office and survey the projects they are working on.
"You get a whole different view of things when you get out and walk through the city," Allison said. "You see a lot of things you wouldn't notice from a car, like the history of the city."
Allison said the job market for planers had tightened during the past year because of federal budget students graduate in
They're creeping across the interwives—little, furry, black creatures that catch the driver's eye like a glove in the middle of the road.
Yet, little do most drivers know that the trail of creatures they leave flip-flipping behind them are considered by them to be invulnable weather forecasters.
Fact or fiction? Worms' coats signal long, cold winter ahead
According to many people in the United States, the severity of the upcoming winter can be determined by the thickness of the woolly worms coat.
"I mean they're all over the place." Mel Dinklage, Overland Park sophomore, said. "I was on the road Sunday and saw one every 10 to 15 feet."
NINETY-THEESE-YEAR-OLD Farr Tackett, of Givens, Ohio, told New Press International reporters last week that shaggy worms woolly did not tell us.
Woolly worms, furry caterpillars about two inches long, are out in great numbers this year, and KU students from Kansas City have noticed them.
"I've only seen one or two, but that's enough," Tackett said. "Their hair is thick and solid and that means an early fall and a hard winter."
"I think that's kind of stupid," Obermeyer said. "But, again, I don't know."
However, Sue Obermeyer, Overland Park junior, didn't think highly of the prediction method.
Dinklage said he had heard of the woolly worm weather prediction method.

DINKLAGE'S OPINION of wolly worms was shared by entomology professor George Byers.
Byers said that a study conducted by a scientific team at Appalachain State University in Boone, N.C., had found no truth to the theory.

"Yeah, I believe it," Dinklage said
To illustrate his point, Byers told a

In the Second Psalm after saying: "Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion," God also says: "Ask of me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance." Pray especially for the "unbelieving heathen" and clergy who have gotten into God's Inheritance, The Church, "crept in unawares"; Miracles, The Resurrection of God, The Deity of Christ, His Virgin Birth, Miracles, The Resurrection are full of them"; Such heathen have just usurped the top positions of people; and beloved Protestant Denominations, and the Church is in captivity again, another Babylonian captivity: "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed." Isaiah 9:16. (Verse 17 following says: "Therefore Lord the Lord has no joy in their young men.)
'WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?' Psalm 21:1 and Acts 4:25
Caught in the Net
An army corporal asked an old man how hard the winter would be, Byers said. When the wise man said it would be a hard winter, the corporal asked how he knew. The man motioned to the woman where the corporal's own men were chopping wood for fuel and said, "The soldiers are cutting a lot of firewood."
I read in the papers of a young man in a nearby town who shot to death his foster mother, who had been "too good to him." Have you never read in God's letter that he had been "too good to him?" And young two-legged devil's. The devil "was a murderer from the beginning" Jesus Christ in John 8:44. And it was in this place where He told the Church leaders of that day "the devil was their father!" If we don't break these rules they will break us, our homes, our state, and our nation! Go make us men!
What favorable response there has been to the articles in this column have had mostly one common note running through them. They seem to say in one way or another: "Keep it up." May we urge and suggest that all who approve, regularly, definitively, and persistently, that God would convert the people earnestly

"Search the Scriptures" and you will find that one reason, if not the main one, that God at times "cuts off the righteous with the wicked" is because the righteous refuse to resist and fight the devil, and put evil away from us!
