Conference to draw regional managers
By PEGGY O'BRIEN
Staff writer
More than 150 local government officials from the Midwest will gather in Lawrence tomorrow through Friday for the 40th annual City Managers Conference.
The conference is sponsored by the Institute for Public Policy and Business Research and the Edwin O. Stene Graduate Program in Public Relations will be held at the Holiday Inn McDonalds, 420 W. Sixth St, the Park Inn, 2222 W. Sixth St.
The conference will be led by John Nalbandian, chairman of KU's department of public administration
The International City Managers Association also will meet this week in Lawrence. the members of ICMA, representing regions across the country, also will participate in the KU conference, said Marion Sheppard, administrative director of the Stene graduate program.
Buford M. Watson, Lawrence city manager, is president of the 7,000-member association.
The city management profession originated with the beginning of the local government reform movement about 75 years ago, and the University of Kansas has educated city managers for 40 years. Shepard said.
Two former KU professors, Edwin O. Stene and Ethan Allen, began the city managers conference in 1947. The two recognized the lack of professional training available for city managers and started the KU city
management program.
Stene, who is retired and living in Arkansas with his wife, will attend a banquet along with about 150 alumni of the program, Sheppard said.
Sheppard said that since the inception of the program, most city managers get a master's degree in city planning as part of their professional training.
Thursday, a panel at the conference will interview Bob Kipp, former Kansas City, Mo., city manager and current president of Crown Center Redevelopment Corporation and vice president of Hallmark Cards, Inc.
As part of the week's activities, the graduate program in public administration will hold its graduation banquet tonight, welcoming back students who have been completing the internship phase of the program during the last year.
George Frederickson, Edwin O. Stine distinguished professor of public administration, will speak Friday on a public side of public administration
With the city managers conference, the ICMA meeting, the 75th anniversary of professionalism in local government, the graduation of the program's interns and the special guests expected, Sheppard said that this was a special week.
Graduates of the Edwin O. Stene Graduate Program in Public Administration now serve as city managers in Dallas, Washington, Wichita and San Antonio, Texas.

Jewelry store owner accidentally sets fire
1527 W. 6th
By a Kansan reporter
The owner of a 100-year-old downtown Lawrence building accidentally started a fire yesterday afternoon that caused an estimated $500 damage.
The owner, Peter Zacharias,
who is renovating the two-story
building at 723 Massachusetts St.,
was using a propane blow torch to
remove paint from the building's
ceiling. The heat imitated dust in the rafters.
Jim McSwain, Lawrence fire chief, said that because the fire was between floors, the firefighters had to cut two holes, about 40 square feet in total area, through the floor to reach the flames.
"It was a pretty small fire but hard to get to." he said.
"We had to go through two layers of hardwood floors," McSainw said.
Zacharias said the fire, which started about 11 a.m., was doused in 10 minutes by Lawrence firefighters. Five fire trucks were called to the scene, closing off a pit in the block for about an hour.
Other than the floor, the building sustained little smoke damage, McSwan said. However, the fire could have caused massive damage had it not been controlled quickly, he said.
The building was being renovated to house Zacharias' jewelry store, Goldmakers, now at 9 E. Eighth St., on the first floor, and apartments on the second floor.
