12 Wednesday, October 14, 1992 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Forum will examine county's future Forum Citizens group studies area's growth needs By Kristy Dorsey Kansan staff writer The Horizon 2020 Plan, a joint effort between Lawrence and Douglas County to assess the needs and future of the county, will be reviewed at a community forum at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in the South Junior High School auditorium, 2734 Louisiana St. Horizon 2020 is a citizen planning process designed to develop policy and strategic direction to guide Lawrence and Douglas County to the year 2020. Sheila Stogsdill, Horizon 2020 planning coordinator, said about 30 advisory forum members were contributing to the planning process. "It has been growing and will continue to grow over time," she said. "We need to make sure we have a good cross-section of people from the community to work on small task groups." Those task groups will be formed partially on the basis of the forum review of the Horizon 2020 Phase I Work Paper, Stogsdill said. The work paper is a preliminary outline of the issues that should be dealt with in Lawrence and Douglas County during the next three decades. Some of the issues outlined in the report include housing, employment, transportation, health care and education. The work paper contains information from business and citizen surveys, opinions from personal interviews and economic and demographic trends. Based on the information, the consulting firm of Trkla, Pettigrew, Allen & Payne completed a list of the area's strengths and weaknesses, which is included in the work paper. Some of the strengths pinpointed by the paper include an attractive downtown area, a positive community spirit and the social and economic benefits provided by the University of Kansas. Low wages, poor access to vocational-technical education and traffic congestion were cited as some of the area's weaknesses. Stogsdill said the impact of having a university in Lawrence was one of the considerations that the work paper took into account. Citizens rate community services "There is already work underway as to what KU's needs are physically and its growth rate," she said. "That's all factored into the report."

Dave Campbell / KANSAN Source: Horizon 2020 Thursday's forum will begin with the consultants giving an overview presentation and answering questions about the work paper. Participants will then break into small group sessions, where they will review the vision statement and prioritize the issues and concerns outlined by the paper. Stogsdill said the consultants would take information generated by the forum and have a revised work paper back to the Horizon 2020 Steering Committee within a week to 10 days. If the committee approves of the revisions, they will begin Phase II of the process by deciding which issues are most pressing and assigning forum members to task groups. The task groups would then develop strategies for dealing with those various issues. If the committee does not agree with the paper's priorities or overall vision statement for the area, it will send the paper back to the consultants for further revision. Stogdill said it was possible the paper would go between the committee and the consultants two or three times before a final draft was settled upon. Phase III of the process will involve testing the strategies suggested by the task groups. In Phase IV, all the suggestions will be pulled together into one final report, which will then be used by the planning commission and city and county commissions to assist in making decisions about the future of the area. Panel discusses rise of sexism in society By Mark Martin Vonne staff writer Kansan staff writer The second night of the Republican National Convention this summer was deemed family values night. All three of the key speakers were women. "This is a clear sign of what the term 'family values' really means," said Omofolabo Ajai, one of five panelists in a discussion last night called "The Backlash Against Women," sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. "People think men have nothing to do with family values," said Jaissir, assistant professor of women in student life. "She says 'this is back laish against women.'" The panelists spoke to more than 30 people, mostly women, about the rise of sexism in the United States. The panelists agreed that despite gains made by the feminist movement in the 1970s, today's United States still was largely male-dominated. "In the legal profession, women who enter the legal system are still fighting male standards," said Sandra McKenzie, professor of law. "A woman isn't just a judge or a just a lawyer, she's a woman judge or a woman lawyer." Charlene Muehlenhard, associate professor of psychology and women's studies, said the media was "sickening" about her. She quoted studies reprinted in the book "Backlash" by Susan Faludi. She cited a study done in 1986 which concluded that women over 35 with a college degree had a 5-percent chance of setting married. "What this study says is that women have to choose," she said. "If you want to go to college and have a career, you can't get married or have a family. The media went after this story like wild-fire." Muehlenhard said a later study using more information found the same group of women had a 35-percent chance of getting married. "The media showed very little interest in the second study," she said. Many panelists and audience members criticized the Reagan and Bush administrations for being harmful to women. "It's so hypocritical for President Bush to talk about family values and then veto the medical leave bill," said Liane Davis, associate professor of social welfare. "This bill allowed people to stay home from work for 12 weeks without pay for a family sickness. We all know who stays home when the kids are sick. Women do." Several audience members questioned how sexism could be reduced in the nation. EXCITING ENTERTAINMENT Wednesday: Karaoke with Lit'l Anthony Starts @ 9 a.m. Thursday: D.J.
