asked for the rezoning of an area south of Lawrence along Iowa Street for a shopping mall.
The commissioners, who will consider the request in November, objected to the proposal because it conflicted with the city's plans to develop the downtown area.
Watson said yesterday that he did not think Clark's request was unreasonable but that there was still a lot of work to do.
"THERE ARE A lot of t's to cross and i's to dot, but this is the way to begin." Watson said. "We have tried to encourage development along the river. This is a larger area, though."
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said she thought the proposal fit in with Plan '95. Lawrence's comprehensive plan for future development The plan says that the store would be developed and that specialty stores would be a good use for the area, she said.
Clark said in his letter that the department store would open an office in Lawrence before its actual completion. The letter also says that during construction, an effort would be made to employ as many Lawrence residents and businesses as possible.
Center
continued from p.1
Meyen said he hoped to create an en environment conductive to research in the center by moving away from the traditional design of academic office buildings.
"We have a number of research teams with five or six people on a team whose projects will take several years," he said. "I would like to see clusters of research suites, where they could relate to each other, and not be spread out."
Meyen also said he hoped the center would include a computer system capable of handling large amounts of research in the newest telecommunications equipment.
Construction is planned near Haworth Hall on the south side of campus. Budig said a specific site had not been selected.
ALLEN WIECHERT, FACILITIES planning director, said a building committee soon would formulate an architectural program for the center.
"Once everybody agrees on what we plan to do in the building, we'll go through the state and hire an architect." Wiechert said. "We're probably three years away from occupying the building."
Meyen said that planning for the center began in late 1982.

Clowns' message about alcohol is serious
A half-dozen men and women wearing clown suits will set up a bar on Wesco Beach next week and sell drinks to students.
But don't ask for a Bloody Mary or a whiskey sour. And don't worry about bringing an ID.
The clown bartenders will use ingredients such as fruit juices, ginger ale and greanadine for non-alcoholic drinks to be sold for 25 cents at the bar from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The non-alcoholic bar is one of several activities scheduled during alcohol awareness week at the University of Kansas. Drinking" is the theme of the week.
Many alcohol awareness programs take a heavy-handed approach, emphasizing statistics, legal problems or gory photographs of car accidents related to alcohol.
"It's a different way to draw people's attention to the subject," Zimmer said. "We think the milk drawing is something that's fun for the students but still makes a point."
A LIGHTER TOUCH might make students take notice of the alcohol information, Lorna Zimmer, director of the Student Assistance Center, said yesterday.
At the non-alcoholic bar, students will also be able to buy "No-Bozo" buttons and register for a drawing to win five, 10 or 15 gallons of milk. Brochures and books of
Despite the bartenders, buttons and milk giveaway, spokesmen for the organizations sponsoring the week insist that they are serious about increasing alcohol awareness.
THE SPONSORS ARE the Association of University Residence Halls, the Associated Students of Kansas, the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, the office of residential programs and residence hall and the Student Assistance Center and Walkins Hospital.
Jilie Gross, resident director of Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Corbin halls said serving non-alcoholic drinks at hall parties could be fun and could also help educate hall
Gross said residence halls were required to serve non-alcoholic beverages at parties.
non-alcoholic recipes will also be distributed.
But often, two or three liters of Coke are shoved at the end of a table, lost in the shuffle of four or five kegs of beer and dozens of plastic cups, she said.
"It's social and education programming," she said. "It's more than saying that drinking is bad. By serving these kinds of drinks at hall parties, we take the emphasis
off alcohol. We let residents know the alternatives."
PAT SIMMONS, RESIDENT director at Joseph R. Pearson Hall, said no-alcohol parties would become common in two or three rooms. The new norm is expected to raise the drinking age to 21.
"With this 21 law, there won't be any beer allowed in the halls," he said. "This week's activities give residents some idea of what that might be like."
Simmons said the week was not designed to prevent students from drinking but to get them into trouble.
"The most important part of the program is awareness," he said. "We don't expect to reach 100 percent of the people, but we hope to make an impact on some of them."
