Lawrence, KU get a flavor of Russia
New Moscow Delicacies offers candies and more
By Luby Montano-Laurel
Special to the Kansas
After traveling only minutes, Lawrence residents can capture the flavor of Russia.
A sign on the door of the new Moscow Delicacies store, Ninth and Iowa streets, welcomes visitors to "Moscow." Russian dolls sit behind the window, and pictures hang on the door.
Pilot and Zina Schepkin, both natives of Ukraine, a republic in Eastern Europe, opened the store on June 8.
The idea was born when a friend of the couple, Boris Veliganine, a Russian native and co-owner of the store, suggested opening a place that could offer the Lawrence community a taste of European food and culture without a one-hour drive.
"We used to go to a Russian store in Kansas City, but I soon noticed that there were many Russian and European students in Lawrence that drove to K. C. just to buy food," Piotr Schepkin said. "Now we have
"With this store, we hope to help Americans and non-Europeans understand our culture," Zina Schepkin added. "I want them to taste the German sausages, Russian candies and Ukrainian crackers."
Moscow in Lawrence."
She said Russian candy was popular because of its dark, tasty chocolate.
In the store, one table is loaded with candy, covered in bright, multi-color paper. Most of the candy is common in Europe, she said.
Many people have been drawn to the store by the variety of sausages, and the Russian paintings hanging in the display window.
One customer, Janet Mody,
Lawrence resident, also praised the variety of items at Moscow Delicacies.
"I am delighted that there is always diversity in Lawrence," Mody said. "These kind of shops in Lawrence are always a success."
Other customers already have plans to bring visiting family members to the store.
"My mom will love this place," said Barbara Hayford, Lawrence graduate student. "All the sausages and candies are great. It's always good to see different and unique stuff in

example, an imported candy bar sells for 50 cents.
"This store is not only for Russians, but also for KU students and Lawrence residents who want to know more about Russia and Europe," he said. "We opened this store with the American customer in mind."
Students work out to relax, stay in shape
Lawrence offers several clubs gymnasiums for daily exercise
By Jason Hogle Special to the Kansan
Bruce Daisie readjusts his glasses on his sweaty nose, takes a deep breath and strains to get another repetition on the lateral machine.
Daise, Osborne law student, is one of hundreds of students who lift weights during their leisure time.
"I lift to stay in shape," Daise said. "I have worked out since high school, and it is a great way to relieve some stress. It helps get away from classes and everything else."
Mitchell McKinney, Lawrence graduate student, said, "Lifting is more of a habit for me. I figure it is more productive than sitting around and watching television."
their valid KUID. Located across from Allen Field House, Robinson is used mostly for its two weight rooms. It has free weights, weight machines, exercise bikes and stair climbers. Staff members, who take a count of people every hour, said 200 to 300 students a night work out in the weight rooms.
Robinson Center is a popular place for students who like to lift weights because of its location and options. It is free to students who present

"This place has a fun atmosphere, so it's a great place to spend some leisure time," said Kathy Tamburello, Lenexa senior and Total Fitness staff member. "You can meet many different people, and these people can become your friends. Most of our members are students, and they get to know each other very well. It becomes a social time for them."
