Corps opens KU office
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Finding an opportunity to make a difference in the world just got easier for University of Kansas students now that a Peace Corps office has opened in the Burge Union.
The goals of the Corps, which was founded by President Kennedy in 1961, are to provide labor to countries, to give people in other countries a chance to meet Americans and to promote understanding of different cultures.
Aline Hoey, Peace Corps coordinator for KU, said she hoped the office would help attract students who were unaware of the Corps and help inform them
about opportunities available in the program.
Heey said students interested in joining the Corps must be at least 18 years old. Although a college degree is not necessary, it increases eligibility for opportunities in the Corps.
Hoey said she interviewed students who applied for the Corps at the University. After Hoey's approval, a recruiter from the Denver Regional Recruitment Office matches applicants to a foreign country and assigns them to a two-year mission.
recently left on his mission.
"I think it gives people a new perspective on the world because we are kind of sheltered over here." Klein said.
Hoey said volunteers were sent to different countries and the need for volunteers changed depending on countries' needs.
"It is challenging to serve in the Peace Corps, but that is what makes it so rewarding," Hoey said.
The Corps office is located in the Office of Career and Employment Services at Room 110 in the Burge Union. Students interested in the Corps can call Hoey at 864-7679 or e-mail her at peacecorp@ku.edu.

City re zones for chain store
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Lawrence may soon see another home improvement store, this time in the northwest corner of town. The City Commission voted 3-2 Tuesday to rezone 52 acres of land near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive from agricultural use to office, commercial and residential use.
Lowe's Home Improvement Store may become the newest "big box" store in town. The store may join other chain stores that recently opened in Lawrence and are seen as big boxes by some community members.
It took five votes, all 3-2 decisions with Commissioners Sue Hack, Marty Kennedy and Jim
Henry voting in favor of each rezoning request.
The Commission heard from developers, local contractors and neighbors of the proposed home improvement store for two-and-a-half hours.
A Lawrence contractor, David Clemente, told the commission that the growth in west Lawrence provided a need for the store.
The Commission listened to both the pros and cons of the issue for two-and-a-half hours.
issue for two boxes are here,
"Big boxes are here," Kennedy said.
"I know Lawrence doesn't like big boxes, but they are here,
and they are useful to our economic base."
This is the second time the Commission has looked at rezoning the area to allow commercial
development. The first time, the Commission found the store to be too large and sent the plan back to the developer to be revised.
The Commission reviewed the new plan Tuesday night.
Commissioner David Dunfield and Mayor Mike Rundle voted against the change as they did a week ago with the rezoning for a proposed Home Depot store. Last week's proposal was passed by a 3-2 vote as well. That rezoning will occur on 31st Street between Iowa Street and Ousdahl Road.
"It is still a big box store in the middle of an ocean of parking." Jeff Moran, Lawrence resident and and KU assistant professor of history, told the Commission.
