City approves new office plan for Sallie Mae
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
A $4.2 million building for Sallie Mae is on its way after the Lawrence City Commission last night approved a site plan for the student loan insurance company's new home.
Commissioner David Longhurst said, "I think it's going to be a first-class project. It has a first-class developer. We should be happy that Lawrence has developers and industries like this."
The Student Loan Marketing Association, or Sallie Mae, is the country's largest investor in insured student loans. The association plans to build a 50,000-square-foot office building in the Bluffs Office Park at the northeast corner of Sixth and Iowa streets.
Sallie Mae now has an office at 1919 Delaware St.
Commissioners also unanimously approved the site plan for the Hall Kimbrell Environmental Service Inc. office building.
The site plan for the 7,000-square-foot, one-story building is the first
site plan to be approved in the University Corporate Research Park at the northeast corner of 15th Street and Wakarusa Drive. Dave Evans of the Gould and Evans Partnership architectural firm presented the site plan to the commission and said he hoped construction could begin before winter.
A decision on how long to allow the developer to keep a temporary access to 15th Street in the project kept
the City Commission occupied for almost an hour.
After an extended discussion on the precedent that would be set regarding access to the research park, Commissioner Sandy Praeger said, "As happy as we are to see development in the research park begin, it's sad to see this happen."
Commissioner Ernest Angino moved to give the developer two years to close the temporary access. But the
commission returned to the city staff's original recommendation.
Mayor Mike Amyx seconded Longhurst's amendment because of the "standards and importance that had been placed on the park."
At midnight, the commission still was hearing public comment on the rezoning of about 12 acres near Melloland Road and 22nd Street.
Inmates reportedly passed careless guards
United Press International
LANSING — Complacency by employees at the Kansas State Penitentiary may have contributed to the escape Friday of two inmates who walked out of a vehicle gate dressed as construction workers, the prison director said yesterday.
Herb Maschner, the prison director, said Tuesday he planned to deal with employees who may have unwittingly aided the prisoners.
The inmates, Randy Mahland, 26, and Rickie Cagle, 35, were returned to the penitentiary Monday night
Their taste of freedom ended Monday when a Kansas Highway Patrol officer spotted them in a stolen car on In-
terstation 70 near Topeka. After a 20-minute chase, the inmates fled on foot and tried to hide but gave up without resistance when spotted by police.
While they were at large, the inmates allegedly broke into three homes, tied up five people and stole three vehicles. However, no one was injured in the incidents.
"Things go along so well for so long that people have a tendency to let down a bit," he said. "And the inmates watch for this. They've got nothing but time on their hands. They're looking where people are cutting corners, slipping here or there."
Maschner said he planned to deal with the employees who he thought contributed to the escape through sloppiness or negligence.
