said Joyce Claterbos, assistant director of the small business development center.
The activities are part of the second annual Entrepreneurs' Week, sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. The seminars are designed to stimulate the creation and growth of new businesses. They are sponsored by 16 local banks and businesses and are free and open to the public.
Cateros said there wasn't a lack of student participation last year, and this year interest should be even greater.
"Last year, no attempt was made to publicize, but 10 to 15 percent of the audience was college students, she said. "There are a lot of University people who have had an idea for a long time and want to use it."
Philips Bradford, director of the Kansas Advance Technology Commission, will give the program's welcoming speech at 5 p.m. this evening in Nichols Hall. Kurt H. Mueller, director of the entrepreneur group of the Kansas City office of Arthur Young International, will speak on starting a business.
Arthur Young International is one of the Big Eight accounting firms in the United States, Claterbos said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 3-year-old boy mailed while playing in his yard with the family's new dog, a Doberman pinscher, was upgraded from critical to serious condition yesterday, a hospital spokesman said.
"He is currently in serious condition in the intensive care unit," a spokesman for Children's Mercy Hospital said. "The family has asked for us not to release any information to the news media that's not necessary. They've received lots of calls and are pretty hysterical right now."
Ella Erter, the boy's grandmother, said she thought the family had got the Doberman on Saturday as a watchdog. The dog was on a chain in the fenced front yard of the family's home when the attack occurred, neighbors said.
Hospital staff members told a local newspaper the injuries were the worst they had seen in a dog attack
Nathaniel was playing with the dog
Early yesterday afternoon, a police spokesman was not available for comment on the case.
or petting it when the animal maudled him about 11:30 a.m. Sunday, police said. The boy's father was biten in the hand while trying to intervene in the attack, Mrs. Erter said.
There have been a number of dog attacks in the Kansas City metropolitan area this year. In May, a dog broke through a locked screen door in Prairie Village, and attacked a mailman. Don Borso, whose injuries required 150 stitches to close.
Society will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Regionalist Room in the Union.
Just a week before that attack, which involved a German shepherd, 4-year-old Lanny Hamp Jr. of Merriam was attacked by a pit bull terrier that jumped from a pen in the back yard of a house where his family was living.
In March, a pit bull terrier jumped a fence and attacked an 87-year-old woman who was raking leaves in her Independence, Mo., yard.
The boy, identified by police as Nathaniel Erter, the son of Earl and Thelma Erter, suffered lacerations to the face and the abdomen in Sunday's attack, the hospital said.
One Kansas City area community, Shawnee, has gone so far as to attempt to prohibit pit bull terriers from being kept in the city limits.
In separate attacks involving other breeds of dogs, an Alaskan malamute attacked a 5-year-old in Raytown, Mo., while he waited for a school bus and a mixed breed German shepherd-husky attacked a 5-year-old Kansas City, M. boy.

Farm Credit top priority for farmers
TOPEKA — Rep Jim Slattery, D-Kan., said yesterday that the Farm Credit System's financial situation was the most urgent farm issue facing Congress, which also must act quickly to draft a farm bill in tune with the poor farm economy.
The 2nd District congressman said at a news conference that of the total farm debt of $212 billion, at least $75 billion represented loans to farmers and farm cooperatives through the Farm Credit System — the nation's largest agricultural lender.
The Farm Credit System, which has asked the federal government for a multi-million-dollar bailout, has only $3.4 billion in liquid assets. Slattery said.
