Card company celebrates hallmark of 30 years in city
By JULIE McMAHON Staff writer
Hallmark Cards is marking 30 years in Lawrence.
On October 28, 1957, Hallmark Cards opened a training center at 619 Vermont St. to prepare supervisors and production workers for the plant on May 28, 1958, at Second Street and County Line Road.
When it opened, the plant employed 200 people and made ribbons and accessories. Now the plant is the largest private employer in Lawrence with 1,000 employees, and it has expanded its productions. The plant makes ribbons, invitations, all of Hallmark's ijsgaw puzzles and 40 percent of Hallmark's greeting cards.
Also, the plant prides itself on its involvement in Lawrence, said
Robert Bowline, personnel manager for Hallmark.
"We've provided a lot of jobs for a lot of people, and we hope we've been leaders for good causes," he said.
Hallmark contributes to KU through the Hallmark Symposium Series of lectures in visual communications, which brings in seven speakers a semester. The lecturers are graphic designers, illustrators and others in the art field. They focus on visual communication and some of the speakers work with classes.
Tom Allen, professor of design,
whose professorship is financed by Hallmark,
said the speakers were seated at a table
and come from England, France,
Switzerland, Italy and all over the United States.
Also, Hallmark matches money that KU students in the Society of Illustrators student competition visual communications program.
"They've been very,very generous with us," Allen said.
Hallmark contributes to Lawrence, also, said Bill Martin, director of economic development Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
He said Hallmark was an involved and active company in Lawrence. He said it often led in contributions to the United Way.
Bowline said, "We hope we've been good corporate citizens. That's one of our goals."
Students upset about change in short-term loan procedure
By a Kansan reporter
A change in the procedure for getting short-term loans from the Kansas University Endowment Association, students, financial aid workers said.
All short-term loans now must be cisigned by one of the student's parents. Before this semester, the loans could be cisigned by anyone with sufficient income to guarantee the loan.
William Shunk, director of loan programs for the Endowment Association, said that the association has $750,000 in bad loans each year, or $7,300 in bad loans each year, or
about 2 percent of all student loans.
A student would have the loan cosigned by someone he knew, who subsequently would leave town. When the student also left town after he graduated, the loan would be uncollectible, Shunk said.
"This is money (other) students could be using," Shunk said. "Requiring a parent to cosign would provide a little more security."
Shunk the program originally was not large enough to require that loans be cosigned by anyone. The present arrangement should be more secure than the previous policy, but should still be flexible, he said.
Carol Schweda, receptionist, said, "It's the older students who get upset about it, the students 35 years old aren't been living at home for 15 years."
Receptionists in the office of student financial aid said that students were surprised and sometimes upset by the new requirement.
Most of the students go ahead with the loans anyway, Sherry Hiem, receptionist, said.
Those are mostly younger students who already owe their parents a lot, but don't want their parents to know that they need the money, she said.
