Panel lauds reports on downtown
By CHRIS BARBER Staff Reporter
Two reports about downtown Lawrence from city officials received favorable reactions yesterday at a meeting of the Downtown Improvement Committee.
Dean Palos, city-county planner,
and Hannes Zacharias, city
management analyst, gave separate
presentations of information they
recently have compiled about down-
town Lawrence.
ratios, who is a graduate student at the School of Architecture and Urban Design, completed a study of downtown Lawrence with four other architecture graduate students. He said yesterday that the study
He said yesterday that the study
would help future downtown developers recognize the environment in which they were building.
"In the study, we attempted to find patterns in the buildings downtown." Palos said. "We didn't want to dictate design to anybody. We just wanted to try to sustain what's there."
DIC MEMBERS SAID they were pleased with the report, presented by Palos and Paul Caviness, Lawrence graduate student.
"This is a super report," said Hank Gwinshaw, BDI president. "But if we don't get the majority of downtown merchants to see this, it won't help."
Palos agreed and said that was why he and Caviness had produced a poster with the Downtown Lawrence
Association illustrating the study's findings. In Lauren's
The poster is on sale in Lawrence. Zucharias returned Wednesday from the "Kansas Main Street Conference" in Salina and gave a 30-minute presentation of his findings to the DIC yesterday.
owens.
"The Main Street Program shows downtown how to help themselves."
Zacharias said.
HE SAID THE focus of the two-day conference was to show about 100 representatives from Kansas communities how to revitalize downtowns.
One suggestion of the program, he said, was that communities form an organizational board outside of city government and chamber of commerce connections.

A record number of students flocked to Allen Field House yesterday for the third annual business career fair, according to the placement director at the School of Business.
Fair gives students, firms chance to chat
The business career fair acquaints students with companies that interview at the University of Kansas.
"We estimate between 800 and 1,000 students showed up this year compared with 700 last year." Fred Madaua, the director, said yesterday. "We had the normal number of students in the morning, but we also had a large
number in the afternoon too.
The reason for the increase in students could have stemmed from better advertising, Madaus said.
"We advertised more this year in Greek houses, dorms and newspapers and radio stations, plus we encouraged students from all levels interested in business careers to come to the fair," he said.
sato.
Students chatted with executives and hiring personnel from 67 companies, many of these companies will interview students this fall and spring.
One student has attended the business fair for two years and said the informal setting with potential employers was a good
way to become acquainted.
"There's no pressure of the interview," said Linda Barber, Leawood senior. "Plus, it's a good way to get background information on the businesses."
Sheryl White, an employee of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, said the life fair also gave employers the opportunity to visit casually with students.
"When someone goes into an interview, he's very prepared." White said. "Here we can see students acting more naturally."
Dave Watson, a 1984 KU graduate now working for Western Paper, said the career fairs he had attended as a student helped open doors and provided information on all types of careers.
