Officials confident of success of corporate and research park

The University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence have shown that two heads are better than one in their joint efforts to develop the University Corporate and Research Park in west Lawrence, officials say.
Although Lawrence's size makes it an unlikely site for a research park, the University provides a strong incentive for prospective tenants, a director of economic development and Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
"Not all clients will do research at the University, but the University is an asset because it provides a plentiful labor force." Martin said.
"It's a fascinating project. And for a town this size to have both a university and a research park is really something."
University and city officials have
cooperated on the project, which they say will give the city an economic and scholarly boost. The 296-acre research park is two and a half miles west of campus, at the intersection of 15th Street and Wakarusa Drive.
Not only will KU students find jobs there after graduation, but undergraduates, too, may secure internships, work-study positions and part-time work, officials say.
Carl E. Locke, dean of engineering, said that there were limited opportunities for engineers to work in a community the size of Lawrence and that the park could mean increased job opportunities.
Locke said the School of Engineering started a cooperative plan that might use the park's resources. As part of the program, students, starting at the sophomore level, can work for seven to eight months and then go to school. Some students work from
January till the end of summer and then attend fall classes.
Larry Chance, president of R.G. Billings Enterprises, the coordinator of the park's development, said that 10 percent of the park was occupied and that developers had contracted or optioned an additional 20-25 percent.
Current and future tenants include: Hall-Kimbrell, environmental engineering; Kohlman Systems Research, flight testing equipment; Campbell-Becker, finance consulting and venture capital; PKG Design Research; production manufacturing; Oread Productions, film production; Oread Laboratories, bioanalytical research; and WOS Data, computer software development.
Chance said the developer wanted controlled growth on a long-term basis, bringing in two to three new firms each year.

Bennett was among panelists discussing higher education governance and whether the state Board of Education's powers under the constitution should be clarified at the annual Conference on Postsecondary Education sponsored by the Legislative Educational Planning Committee.
On the Record
Another panel tackled the question of setting college preparatory requirements for Kansas high school graduates to meet before they automatically are admitted to the state's six universities.
nance issue was tied to state funding of education — whether more money should be pumped into public education when questions existed about whether the state system was run as efficiently as it could be.
A 24-carat gold ring valued at $600 was taken between Aug. 15 and Sept. 18 from a security drawer in a building at Ellsworth Hall, KU police reported.
Flentje, secretary of administration and Gov. Mike Hayden's chief policy adviser, said the issue of education finance dictated that the governor and the Legislature take another look in the 1988 session at the issue of who governed what aspects of the state's educational system
The former governor said he thought only elementary and secondary education should be administered by the Board of Education, and only higher education should be administered by the state Board of Regents, with the state's iT community being served by some new board. The two-year colleges now fall under supervision of the Board of Education.
The House passed an educational governance bill during the 1987 session. The bill now rests in the Senate committee heading into the 1988 session.
Other panelists at the Postsecondary Education Conference said if the state would increase admissions standards at the universities, student retention would better prepare and education in the state in general would improve.
Another panelist, H. Edward Flentie, said the education gover-

The Regents currently are studying different proposals for increasing standards, involving the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University; KU and Kansas State only; and KU only.

duating classes or test scores.
State Rep. Denise Apt, R-Iola, chairman of the House Education Committee, said she supported the concept despite her philosophical views. She said remedial courses at universities cost the state too much money.
Bennett, governor of Kansas in 1975-1979, and a former president of the state Senate, was co-author of an amendment altering the state's Education Article, which was adopted by state voters in 1966.
Bennett said it was never the intent of lawmakers to give the state Board of Education any powers except those delegated to it by the Legislature, but a state Supreme Court ruling in 1973 said the state board held certain "self-execution" powers under the 1966 amendment which it could exercise without legislative approval.
No constitutional confrontation has developed between the board and the Legislature in the years since the court ruling.
