The South Lawrence Trafficway will follow 31st Street between Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Street. This is the northern boundary of the Baker Wetlands.
In return, Douglas County will improve more than 15 acres of Wetlands.
New breeding pools for the northern crayfish frog will be constructed to create a better wetland environment than exists today.
Protecting the Baker Wetlands
An enclosed drainage system will keep Trafficway water runoff from entering the Wetland areas.
These plans were negotiated and approved by university, city, county, state and federal officials responsible for protecting the Wetlands. They are included in the Environmental Impact Statement for the Trafficway.
A twelve acre strip on the south side of 31st Street will be used for Trafficway right of way.
These plans reverse a 15 year trend of dryness in the Wetlands caused by the construction of the Clinton Dam.
The Environmental Impact Statement process worked. The Wetlands will be enhanced as a result of the South Lawrence Trafficway.

African studies program to add three new courses
By Tatsuya Shimizu
Kansan staff writer
The department of African and African-American studies is expanding its program by offering more classes next semester.
Kansan staff writer
The department will offer three new classes: Studies in African Art, Comparative Black Drama and West African Folkore.
"By offering more courses, you can increase students' interest," said Arthur Drayton, chairperson of the
He said the number of faculty members in the department had doubled from three to six in the last two years.
Drayton said that the number of students who showed interest in African and African-American studies increased in the early 1980s but that the number dropped in the mid-1980s because a higher student enrollment decreased.
Maikudi Karase, assistant professor of African and African-American studies, said that despite the increased interest in the program, there still was some gap between them and what people know about it.
Karaye teaches the department's African language class in Hausa, a language spoken primarily in Niger and Ghana. She and students were taking the class.
When he taught Hausa at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1987, before he came to KU, fewer than 15 students were learning the language, he said. About 50 students were in the class last year.
Karave said that compared to Wisconsin's program, KU's African and African-American program was small.
Besides the department of African languages and literature, which has about 10 faculty members, the University of Wisconsin also has an African studies program, Karaye said.
The program provides a forum for at least 50 "Africanists," who study various aspects of Africa.
Also, the program introduces African culture to residents of Madison. Karaye worked for the program at a small school in Africa at local churches and schools.
"I feel personal commitment to teach about my country." he said.
Karaye said he thought the increase in student interest in Africa was due to growth of African countries, importance in international politics.
The involvement of African teachers also is an important factor in the increase of students' interest in Africa, he said.
Corey Carter, Overland Park junior, said she chose to major in African and African-American studies because she wanted to learn more about her own African-American culture.
She said she hoped the department would expand to offer masters and doctorate degrees
In his West African Folklore class, Karaye will teach theories of folklore and introduce students to examples of West African folklore, he said.
In rural areas of Third World countries, where access to radio and television is limited, folklore serves as mass media, he said.
"Folkore is an active means of communication and entertainment," he said.
Towns nutty about squirrels
The Associated Press
Maronville and Oline, Ill., both bill themselves as top spots for white squirrel spotting. But Maronville boasts it has far more than Oline.
MARIONVILLE, Mo. — The battle for the title "Home of the white squirrels" is turning a little nutty.
When Olney Central College biology instructor John Stencel recently doubted that Marionville had as

Mavionville in 1989 claimed to be home to about 1,000 of the white rodents, or roughly half the number of people who live there.
Stencel and several volunteers recently counted 127 white squirrels in Olney, down from last year's 143.
