West Campus may expand
By Brian Vandervliet Kansan staff writer
For many students, West Campus remains a mystery.
Other than the Lied Center and Shenk Complex, the playing fields at 23rd and Iowa streets, most undergraduate students have little reason to visit the area.
But the 480 acres of land west of 23rd Street do serve an important purpose. More than a dozen buildings are used as research facilities by KU faculty and graduate students.
"It was primarily set up to be a research science and support area for the campus," said Allen Wiechert, University architect.
The establishment of the Space Technology Center, the Kansas Geological
"West Campus is still being discussed as an area for further development."
Survey and the Kansas Biological Survey on West Campus, as well as the Simons Biosciences Research Center, scheduled for completion by next September, have confirmed the original intent for West Campus.
struction at the University.
But as the main campus has become more dense from building construction during the past two decades, the question is whether West Campus will be the focus of future growth—perhaps beyond construction of research facilities.
Max Lucas, professor of architectural engineering, is chairman of a committee that has been working the last two years to develop a long-range plan for future con-

"West Campus is still being discussed as an area for further development," he said. "It has served us well, and there is still a lot of land available for development."
He said the committee had not yet made any decisions as to what would be recommended for KU, but a draft should be ready by the end of the summer. He said that
incoming chancellor Robert Hemenway would have to review the collected data before any major decisions could be made.
Although he did not rule out construction of undergraduate academic facilities for West Campus, Lucas said there might be a problem with transporting students from West Campus back to the main campus.
"Students would have to be guaranteed easy access to other buildings on campus" he said. "If in fact
students are going to take classes in both campuses, they need to be able to get to their classes on time."
Thomas Waechter, planning coordinator for the University, has worked with the committee. Like Lucas, he said there might be a problem with transporting students to classes on West Campus.
Waechter said that West Campus could be the site of a future student recreation facility. He said that nothing was on-line for construction of more research facilities within the next five years.
"Student recreation is one focus right now for future growth," he said.

Professor visits African university
Trip gives insights to social, sexual discrimination
By Brenden Sager Kansan staff writer
"There are some common issues no matter where we are in the world," Adrienne Rivers said.
A KU journalism professor who returned from Africa last week said that inequality could be found anywhere.
Rivers took her third trip to Africa, where she went to finish articles about African-women's issues. Also, she sought to establish ties with KU's School of Journalism and the University of Zimbabwe.
She traveled to Harare, Zimbabwe, last month to follow up on stories she did for radio station KANU about changes in women's issues. Rivers' report will air at 6:40 and 8:40 a.m. Friday on KANU.
Rivers said she explored issues of social inequality that people in Zimbabwe were starting to confront. She also said that the University of Zimbabwe initiated affirmative action programs in response to sexual discrimination against women.
Rivers said that there was great inequality between men and women in Zimbabwe.
"It was really interesting to see the hue and cry over that," she said.
"Women certainly didn't have the
same rights as men," she said.
Rivers cited a marital law in Zimbabwe that said when a woman's husband died, his fortunes often went to his sons or his family, leaving the woman penniless.
In Zimbabwe, Rivers said women had formed their own voters' association, WOBAZ, which is striving to get women involved in politics.
She said women were involved in efforts to empower themselves and were seeking equality in the patriarchal society.
"Not only should we encourage women in politics, but good people in politics," she said.
The second effort of Rivers' visit was to establish relations between the University of Zimbabwe and KU's School of Journalism.
Rivers went to examine the possibility of forming an exchange program with Zimbabwe's mass communications program and KU's journalism program.
"First of all I wanted to explore if the University of Zimbabwe was interested in KU," she said. "And they are."
She said the exchanges could involve faculty or students in the two schools.
Rivers said that another reason for going to Zimbabwe was that KU was trying to internationalize its curriculum.
"I think it's really important that we see the connections between our societies," she said.

Nagging won't make you quit.
It's hard to stop smoking. And it doesn't help when friends and family bug you about it. Maybe you should try the "No-Nag, No-Guilt, Do-It-Your-Own-Way" Quitting Smoking Program. It's a positive-approach, 21/2 hour class based on what smokers said would help them quit.
