For Lawrence planning director Price Banks, the city commission room is an extension of his Marvin Hall classroom.
Lawrence planning director Price Banks talks to Michael Dever, Park Ridge, III, senior, during an urban planning class. Banks was teaching Urban Planning 736. Implement of Land Use Policy, Monday night in Marvin Hall.
"I'm always using examples from Lawrence," Banks said yesterday. "I say 'Tune in Tuesday night and you will see an example on
Banks teaches city commissioners how to apply land use law to city issues.
Banks teaches Urban Planning 736, Implementation of Land Use Policies — a required class for urban planning graduate students.
On Monday nights in Marvin Hall, he passes on his knowledge to his eight urban planning students.
"If by chance there's an example in Lawrence, he'll bring it up." Heidi Kraus, Overland Park fifth-year architecture student, said. "It's not like he's basing the class on Lawrence."
Some of these examples, she said,
are the recent Western Hills annexation and the planning of Wakuraus Drive. a street in west Lawrence.
"He's able to give it a real practical side," she said. "It brings it down to earth. It's not just happening somewhere else."
Kraus is taking the course as an elective, she said.
In class, the students discuss assigned cases, and Banks, who has a law degree, asks them questions.
"It's not as romanticized as the Paper Chase." Kraus said.
Michael Dever, Park Ridge, Ill., senior, said banks' law background showed up in class though the class is designed for non-lawyers.
"He knows how to grill students," said Dever, who is applying for the urban planning graduate program.
For a class assignment, Dever said, the students analyzed a hypothetical case in which a dor-
militory was constructed in a neighborhood zoned single family residential.
The case was a compilation of actual cases, he said.
"You had to think about Lawrence and the cases," Dever said.
In class, Banks explains the points of view of the planners and homeowners in the cases.
This, Kraus said, helped her realize that even zoning changes, for example, made a difference to the people involved.
"I think it's important for students to understand where those folks are coming from," Banks said. "We tend to be prejudiced. When we do an analysis of a problem, there's a certain pride of authorship."
Banks enjoys seeing the results of his teaching, he said, especially when students grasp the unfamiliar terms and methods of land use law.
Banks applied for the position after he was notified last summer that it was available.
"I enjoy the interaction with students," he said. "There's a real sense of fulfillment when they start to pick up points."
State Senate sends House abortion bill
The Associated Press
The bill, which backers said could help strengthen family unity, was not unanimously supported.
TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate yesterday passed, 35-5, and sent the House a bill which would require girls under 16 to obtain written consent from a parent or guardian before they could get an abortion.
"Good family relationships are fostered through love, not laws," said Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita. Morris voted against the bill.
The bill would create a new class of crime, aggravated criminal abortion, which would include failure of a physician to obtain written permission from a parent or guardian of a girl under 16.
It would also apply to anyone who is not a physician or licensed to practice medicine caught performing an abortion.
Under the bill as it came from Federal and State Affairs, violation of the aggravated abortion statute would have been a class B felony, punished by five years to life imprisonment and a maximum $15,000 fine. That penalty was reduced by the Senate to a class E felony.
It's a good time to choose sides. CLASS RINGS FROM BALFOUR
