Bullwinkles fights for license

Bullwinkles Bar continues to battle the city of Lawrence in its quest to regain an alcoholic beverage license.
Bullwinkles, 1344
Tennessee St., had tried to be certified as a drinking establishment — a motion the city of Lawrence refused
After first ruling in favor of Bullwinkles, the city went to the Kansas Court of Appeals. The appeals court removed the order requiring the city to certify Bullwinkles.
Ed Collister, attorney representing Bullwinkles of Lawrence Inc., said
Joe Clausing
Wichita junior
"The Hawk and the Wheel are next to it and they have licenses. So Why not?"
Bullwinkles had asked the Kansas Supreme Court to review the decision of the court of appeals.
Bullwinkles voluntarily surrendered its alcoholic beverage license in December 1997 believing it would be able to get another license in the future. But when the bar asked for certification to be zoned as a drinking establishment in 1998 it was refused for violation of zoning ordinances.
David Corliss, assistant city manager and director of legal services for Lawrence, said Bullwinkles was in a residentially zoned area and a drinking establishment license would expand its non-conforming use from residential to commercial.
"The city received a favorable decision from the court of appeals," Corliss said. "We don't feel the Supreme court needs to review."
Kevin Polian of Bullwinkles of Lawrence Inc., has contracted to buy Bullwinkles from the current owner, Jon Davis of Bulls Eye Inc. The contract depends on Bullwinkles winning its license.
Polian described the 3-year process as brutal.
"We've been mistreated the whole way," Polian said. "It's completely political."
Bullwinkles has been a traditional student hangout for many years. Joe Clausing, Wichita junior, said Bullwinkles should have a license because it is near other establishments that serve alcohol.
"The Hawk and the Wheel are next to it and they have licenses," Clausing said. "So why not?"

The School of Business will begin the new academic year with two new administrators.
William L. Fuerst will take over as dean and Keith Chauvin as associate dean. The two are replacing former dean Tom Sarowski and associate dean Howard Svpher.
Fuerst, whose duties began July 1, said that his plans for the school were to create a highly productive environment through recruitment and retention of students and faculty.
"It is a vision to be a top tier public business school," he said. "In the plan for excellence, we hope to attain that vision."
Fuerst said he would achieve this plan by focusing on the range of disciplines in the school such as international programs, marketing, finance, resources and accounting.
Before accepting the position at the University of Kansas, Fuerst was the associate dean for academic programs, research and information technologies at the Lowry Mays College and Graduate School of Business at Texas A&M University. He also spent part of his career in computer consulting for Price Waterhouse as a senior manager at the Dallas office.
Nicky Foley, assistant to the dean, said she was confident in the qualities Fuerst would bring to the school.
Chauvin also said that he was pleased with the selection of Fuerst as dean of the school.
"There was a thorough search for the dean," he said. "We are fortunate to get someone of this quality."
Chauvin said Fuerst was highly knowledgeable in the area of Internet business, an area being strongly driven in the business field.
Prior to filling the associate dean position, Chauvin had been a part of the school's faculty for 12 years. He will coordinate and direct operations for the school's MBA program.
"With the growing technology, this is an exciting time for a business school," he said. "There are new, unique challenges, and we must be able to meet the demands."
Chauvin said his view for the future of his new position and the school was optimistic.
Although Fuerst said he was confident in his relocation, the initial appeal was in the high standards of quality at the University.
"I'm impressed with the caliber of the University," he said. "The school has a good sense as to where it's going; the students and faculty are excellent."
Alumna to return to promote service in Peace Corps

Kathleen Stolle visited the Peace Corps table in the Kansas Union while she was in college, never intending to join.
and that was the beginning of our work.
Today, Stoll will be sharing her experiences at the Peace Corps table in the Kansas Union From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and at the Peace Corps film show at 4 p.m. in the Walnut Room.
She graduated from the University of Kansas in 1991 with a degree in journalism and began to work as a reporter. But the Peace Corps remained in the back of her mind, and after two years reporting she decided to join—and that was the beginning of a great adventure.
Stole's interest in the Peace Corps grew when she studied abroad.
"I did study abroad my last year at KU, and it turned me on to traveling and experiencing another culture," she said.
She applied for eastern Europe, and after three months of training, was teaching English every day in Albania - in a school that had no books.
And while in public, Stolle experienced what she called the "fishbowl syndrome."
"It was the first time they had any non-Albanian teacher in the school, so I was the object of curiosity for a year," she said. "You get your 15 minutes of fame that last two years. It would be kind of like being a movie star here. You are constantly watched."
Although she enjoyed the attention sometimes, other times she simply wanted to blend in with everyone else.
"It really opened my mind culturally." Stolle said. "Living in another culture opened my eyes to the fact that there's no right way. Americans are accused of egocentrism, and rightly so, because they see America as the center of the universe. Living somewhere else gives greater perspective."
That's one of Peace Corps' three objectives. The group aims to offer technical assistance in whatever the field requests, she said, as well as for their volunteers to show what American culture is like and to absorb the culture they live in.
"That's easy, because after two years it becomes a part of you." Stoll said. "You want to tell everyone."
You, Stolle experienced this transfer of culture firsthand. When Stolle arrived in Albania, her host family did not celebrate Christmas. When she came back to visit her family the second year, they had a Christmas tree and gifts waiting.
"The custom of giving gifts on Dec. 25, they adopted just for me," she said. "They tried to adopt a little of my culture."
A few months later, the Marine Corps airlifted Stollie and the 80 others in her group out of Albania because of civil unrest. Stollie said a financial scheme had duped many Albanians, and they were angry at the government for not cracking down on the organization.
one moved on to serve another two-year term in Morocco after the airlift, and she is currently working in the Peace Corps' Denver Recruiting office.

New dean to lead Graduate School

Diana B. Carlin will replace former KU Graduate School dean Andrew Debicki.
Carlin served as the interim assistant provost prior to her July 1 instatement as dean of graduate school and international programs. She is also a professor of communication studies.
She said she would focus on the international experience, which she found key to the graduate experience.
Carlin also said that part of the improvements would be to expand the variety of locations abroad for students to choose from.
"Not all students are able to go abroad," Carlin said. "I want to create more opportunities for them to be able to go."
we will be working with the Office of Study Abroad to find more schools," she said.
Carlin said a fall workshop entitled "Preparing Future Faculty" would be available to help graduates explore reasons for pursuing their respective careers.
"This is an opportunity to prepare future professionals and create more University-wide dialogue and sharing of ideas," she said.
Linda Mann,
graduate teaching assistant in
classics, said she hoped the new
dean would create and maintain respect for the graduates and keep connections open among the graduate community.
"I want the dean to respect the importance of a broad, liberal educa-

tion and to encourage the breadth of study for all areas," Mann said. "As a GTA, I think it is important that TAS receive recognition for their input and interaction with undergrads."
Daphne Johnston, assistant dean of the graduate school, said Carlin would bring strong leadership and creative thought to the school.
"This is a positive change that will enhance the programs at KU," Johnston said. "She will do many things that will raise the profile of both international and graduate studies."
Anne Merydith-Wolf, project coordinator at the Office of International Programs, said she was confident in the skills and capability which Carlin will bring to the graduate program.
"(She) is very energetic and has great ideas for students, faculty and the program at KU," Merydith-Wolf said. "She believes in team work and empowering people."
