STUDENT 843 8985 SENATE 24 HOURS CALL 841-2345 Program nurses future med professionals Clandia Vazquez, Kansas City Kan. resident, was the first in her family to finish high school and soon will be the first to go to college. By Meng Yew Tee Kansan staff writer If Vazquez has it her way,her achievements are not going to stop there. She plans to be an obstetrician-gynecologist and become the first doctor in the family. Although she will attend Benedictine College in Atchison this fall, one of her first steps towards her goal will be at the University of Kansas. Vazquez is one of 60 participants in the Health Career Pathways Program, a program designed to help economically disadvantaged and minority students to successfully compete for admission to allied health programs throughout the country. Participants also receive daily a $40 stipend during the eight-week summer program. During the program, Vazquez, who came to the United States from Mexico 11 years ago, has talked to doctors, medical students and academic counselors and gone through academic and time-management tutorials to prepare for college and the MCAT. "It is really amazing that something like that can happen, because I know in Mexico nobody helps out with anything," Vazquez said, referring to the opportunity offered by the program. The program, jointly funded by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and the University of Kansas Medical Center, works with five different groups of students. There are programs for high school students, college-bound students, college freshmen and sophomores, college juniors and seniors and graduating medical school students. In order to apply for the program students must be U.S. citizens, have a 2.7 grade point average and be economically disadvantaged or be a minority. This year, 177 students applied; 50 were accepted. "What we want to do here is to enrich what we already know," said Trutina M. Sowell, an aspiring psychiatrist and college-bound student from Topeka. "While giving us a sense of worth, they are preparing us for what lies ahead at medical school." Vazquez and Sowell belong to the combined group of incoming college freshmen and college freshmen and sophomores known as Health Science Enrichment Institute. This 24-member group has a diverse ethnic make-up, including African American, Nigerian, Vietnamese, Filipino, East Indian and El Salvadorian. "A special bonding occurs — special friendships and relationships are formed," said Amber Reagan-Kendrick, Health Science Enrichment Institute coordinator. "It is not about their differences anymore but that one common goal that brings them all together." The program's effectiveness and popularity is reflected by a steady return rate. Pancho Perez, Topeka sophomore, now is involved with the Level 2 Health Science Enrichment Institute program after completing the first level last summer. Alicia Cardona, Lawrence medical student, was a member of the 1992 graduating students program. Cardona used the program to get herself back on track towards a medical degree after a year's absence from school due to her pregnancy. "It was very useful to me and would probably be useful to others, too," Cardona said. "The exposure the program gave me helped me adjust through the first week of medical school — the week that some say is the most difficult." Lawrence development looks to West for fortune By Dan Gelston Kansan staff writer When Horace Greeley said, "Go West, young man," he wasn't talking about Lawrence. But the city has taken his advice, and business has expanded quickly. What once was an unappreciated part of Lawrence now has become an economic hot bed that competes with downtown for consumer dollars and rivals downtown with its many store options. One of the first success stories to rise from the west has been the Tower Plaza, 24th and Iowa streets, owned by Robert Hopkins. The plaza was constructed in 1993 and reached its full capacity of tenants, 11, in March 1994. Hopkins was one of the first people to take advantage of the location. "It was a location which for years had been passed by." He said. Hopkins said there were road problems that forced stores to look elsewhere. Hopkins was able to get around the situation by buying the road with the property and turning it into a parking lot. John Gieler, retail store manager for Microtech Computers, 2540 Iowa St., said plaza location had allowed his store to flourish. "This is a great location for us," Gieler said. "More traffic passes by and more people see us and stop in." We're also helped by being in a plaza because sometimes people come to a store for something else and then end up in mine or another store." Construction began in early January, and only interior work remains. Farther down the road at 36th and Iowa streets, construction is winding down on a Target store. Frank Noreen, superintendent of construction for LRM Industries Inc., said that the project had run tight but was still on target for its early-October opening. the story will compete with two other national chains, Walmart and K-Mart, which have been at their present Iowa locations for just less than two years. Osco Drug, at 23rd and Iowa streets, is the newest retail business in Lawrence. It opened on Saturday in the Southwest Plaza and has giant expectations. "This is a great place to be." Osco manager Frank Novotny said. "We're at the busiest intersection in town and real close to the university." There is still more room to expand, but no owners of current buildings have expressed that desire. Perhaps the greatest reason for Lawrence to expand was expressed by Hopkins. "We've generated revenue, created jobs and tore down some unsightly buildings," he said. "Lawrence is a great town to do business." KU to export newspaper know-how to Koreans By Sean Demory Special to the Kansan A group of KU journalism professors will be teaching in the Republic of Korea as part of a summer-long exchange program sponsored by the United States Information Agency. raul jess, associate dean of journalism; Tom Volek, assistant professor of journalism; and Bob Basow, associate professor of journalism, will be traveling with Cameron Hurst, director of the KU Center for East Asian Studies, to Seoul, South Korea, on July 7. They will deliver a series of seminars on objectivity in reporting and news writing on July 10 through 15. The professors submitted a paper to the U.S. Information Agency proposing the trip, Volek said. Hurst said the Republic of Korea had been one of the most dynamically growing economies in the world. Still, more censorship pervades the Korean press than in other countries. The seminars will share the approach that democratic nations have toward journalism. "Journalists in Korea tend to fall in line with what the government and big companies say," Volek said. "The situation has improved with time, but they still don't do much verification or investigation." The trip will serve a second purpose as well, Hurst said. "Journalism departments in the United States tend to be somewhat insular," he said. "This gives a group of journalism professors a chance to expand their horizons. I think there will be a good deal of mutual learning." The trip to Seoul is the beginning of a summerlong program. Returning on July 18, the professors will be accompanied by nine Korean journalists who will meet with area reporters and editors. They will see the differences between United States and Korean journalism, Voleksays. To further that goal, the journalists also will be visiting the offices of the Marion County Record, the Wichita Eagle-Beacon and the advertising firm of Sullivan, Higdon and Sink in Wichita.
