Oread redesign guidelines up for city vote
▶ CHANDLER BOESE

The Lawrence City Commission is considering changing the building codes in one of the most popular student neighborhoods in the city. But even if the ordinances pass, students shouldn't see any big changes there - in fact, that's the whole point.
In one of its next meetings, the commission will vote on the Oread Neighborhood Design Guidelines, a set of guidelines geared toward preserving a historic atmosphere in the Oread neighborhood, which stretches from the east side of main campus to Massachusetts Street and north of campus to 6th Street.
Jeff Crick, a city planner who helped develop the guidelines, said the new plan is about
preserving some of the exterior features that are characteristic of the neighborhood, from sidewalks to porches.
"[The guidelines] will keep Oread from changing too much and losing what makes it unique," he said.
The presentation Crick originally showed the city commission gives this uniqueness a time period: 1877-1945. Crick said that is the period of architectural style that has been characteristic of the neighborhood and that the city wants to preserve.
These changes are not only important for this neighborhood, but also on a bigger scale, said Lynne Zollner, the historical resources administrator for the city.
"When people talk about what they like about Lawrence, they
don't talk about the new suburban developments out west of town," she said. "They talk about our downtown and the areas surrounding it."
Zollner said that the push for historical guidelines is going on nationwide right now.
"So many places are

trying to look at their city model and asking, 'What made this place special?'." she said.
The guidelines won't cause any immediate changes in the neighborhood, Crick said, as they only apply to construction or renovation work that has to get a permit. Rather, it will be several years before any real changes can be seen in the neighborhood.
This set of guidelines is unique in that these are the first guidelines to be established for a residential area in Lawrence.
They're often used, Crick said, when a neighborhood wants to keep a particular aesthetic or deal with a growing problem in a neighborhood's design. For example, downtown Massachusetts Street has had a plan for a long time, Crick said, that works to keep new developments within the city's expectations for the area.
The guidelines have been a long time in the making, since an Oread Neighborhood Plan
More employers check social media

Be careful what you tweet;employers are checking potential employees' social media accounts more and more.
According to CareerBuilder's annual social media recruitment survey, 60 percent of employers said they use social networking sites to research job candidates, compared to 52 percent the year before.
Social media being implemented into the workforce will come with positives and negatives, said David Gaston, executive director of the University Career Center.
Gaston said that individuals who are job-hunting need to be
especially cautious of what they post on social media, because maintaining a professional image is crucial.
"Make sure that you are portraying who you want to be seen as," Gaston said.
Gaston said knowing your audience, the employer, is beneficial, so they can envision you in a position.
A student should do research on the business they are applying to, Gaston said, so that they can have their profile reflect the business' values.
Shelby Ostrom, a senior from Overland Park.
said maintaining that image is important, especially with her career goals. Ostrom is studying political science, and has interests in governmental occupations.
"Ultimately, I would love to be a lobbyist, or an advocacy associate for a non-profit company,"
Ostrom said.
Ostrom said that communication on social media is key, and she keeps some of her posts public so that future employers can see her engagement in her local community.
"It's something that millennials need to get used to," Ostrom said.
Slusky said proteins break down very quickly, which is both a good and bad thing.
"Proteins break down quickly, which doesn't make them the best orally
available drug," Slusky said. "At the same time, since proteins break down so quickly, there isn't a chance to develop any resistance to them. So hopefully, creating a protein that mediates for non-protein antibiotics will be more of a longlasting solution."
(more general goals for the area) was drafted in 2010. Since then, city planners have been getting input from residents of the Oread neighborhood and using it to craft the guidelines.
Slusky on the proteins since 2014, said these proteines could extend the life of antibiotics currently in use by 80 to 100 years.
Post-doctoral scientist Pinakin Sukthankar, who's worked with
"I think these proteins present a great deal of potential for the pharmaceutical industry. We can use all the antibiotics we have currently and make them stronger,"
said Sukthankar. "It's very hard to find new antibiotics, so if we can use the ones we have we'll probably get a 70 to 100 year lease on our ability to use antibiotics. Which is great because by 2050 it's projected there will be more deaths from antibiotic resistant bacteria than cancer."
"Something like this has to be very tailored to fit with the neighborhood," Crick said. "There are some very unique challenges in Oread and there are some very unique answers that have to be provided to fit those questions."
to develop resistance casually. Then when they cause an infection, it becomes a real problem."
