Mall fight challenges urban sprawl
By VALOREE ARMSTRONS Staff writer
Lawrence is once again gearing up for a mall fight. Adversaries will line up on both sides of the issue tonight at three proposed suburban mall sites.
The 6:30 p.m. meeting at the Central Junior High School auditorium, 1400 Massachusetts St., is the latest confrontation in a 10-year debate on where an enclosed shopping mall should be built in Lawrence.
The city has long struggled to keep retail development in the downtown area. Part of this effort led to the creation of the Downtown Improvement Committee, a group that advises the City Commission on retail development in the downtown area.
It seems developers are convinced that there is a market in Lawrence for a mall — somewhere.
After the defeat of several downtown mall proposals, three developers have again entered the mall picture with new proposals.
Tonight, city officials, developers and residents will present the pros and cons of the proposal by Jacobs, Visconsi and Jacobs of Cleveland, the first of three suburban mall proposals to be considered.
JVJ's proposal is similar to its 1978 stumban proposal, which the city stormur has said.
The other two proposals, to be discussed at an Oct. 21 meeting, have been submitted by Ed Collister, a local attorney, and Warmack and Co., a Fort Smith, Ark., developer.
The three proposals are:
■ The JVJ proposal, a 61-acre site at Iowa Street and Armstrong Road.
■ The Collisor proposal, a 55-acre site at Highway 40 and Wakarusa Drive.
- The Warmack proposal, a 101-acre site at Clinton Parkway and Wakarus Drive.
The three sites would require rezoning. City planners plan to present a report that recommends rejection of rezoning requests for all three sites.
The report states that the long-term effect of a suburban mall would

hurt the community by stimulating urban sprawl. Urban sprawl, the report states, would challenge downtown Lawrence, a major public investment, as the center of activity in the community.

Students who hope to attend law school will be busy for the next week and a half preparing to take the Law School Admissions Test.
But while it is obvious that a student's performance on the test can determine whether a student is accepted to a law school, what students can do to prepare for the test isn't as obvious.
Lilian Six, director of admissions at the School of Law, said that students' preparations for the test range from reviewing the guide that comes with the test to spending hours of dollars in preparatory classes.
About 140 people will take the test at KU on Oct. 17, said Henry Wingington, program associate at the University Counseling Center. Some students already took the test in June; others will take it in December.
Six said that the LSAT tests students' analytical skills, reasoning power, command of English and problem solving ability.
The test does not require a specific knowledge of certain facts, such as college admission tests require.
"Theoretically, this test is a non coachable test," she said.
Much research has been on coachable test," she said.
But some students still seek out coaching.
Students take sample tests, attend nine four-hour class sessions on test strategies and listen to tapes that explain how to arrive at answers.
At the Stanley H. Kaplan Educational Center Ltd., 1012 Massachusetts St., which opened in Lawrence in March, about 35 students paid $495 each to enroll in the current series of special LSAT preparatory courses. The president of the Lawrence and Kansas City area centers.
Press said that people who go through the program generally score higher than average and that the program could even help those students who would do well on the test for special preparation do even better.
Six said that she had heard mixed reviews of the Kaplan programs.
"Some students are very impressed," she said. "Others are not too enthusiastic."
Chuck Ditzler, Lenexa second-year law student, said that he scored in the 99th percentile just from reading the text and then when he signed up to take the test.
But Barbara Girrens, Wichita second-year law student, said that the class she helped her by giving her the discipline to think about the test and that it helped her with some of the logic problems on the test.
"It depends on the person," he
said. "I'm very relaxed; I
others but to be loved."
Six said that a good undergraduate education was probably the best preparation for the test, but that special classes and taking sample tests probably did a good job of bolstering a student's confidence.
"If they believe they will do well
they will probably do well." she said
No leads yet in skunk case
By a Kansan reporter
KU police still have no leads on how a skunk, which may have been rabid, arrived Monday on the six-floor lobby of Tower D of Jayhawker Towers Apartments, 1603 W Cap. Alpin Oliver said yesterday.
An animal control officer was called to the scene and killed the skunk The head was sent to a laboratory at Kansas State University to determine whether the animal was infected Police are awaiting the official report of the officers that students who were in contact with the skunk seek medical attention.
But Charles Yockey, chief of staff of Watkins Hospital, said the risk of anyone contracting rabies was low. He said that unless the skunk's saliva entered the bloodstream of a person, he would be no risk of contracting the disease.
If a person has been bitten by the animal, Yockey said, he should come into the hospital to take a series of shots. If untreated, the disease is fatal.
