Competitive restaurants saying 'Yes, we'll deliver'
By JULIE McMAHON Staff writer
Pizza used to be the only food that was delivered. But now customers can order food from a variety of restaurants.
Competition for customer money is the reason for the increase in restaurants that deliver, Lawrence restaurateurs said. Local businesses as well as national chains have found that delivering is profitable.
Kentucky Fried Chicken, the nation's largest fried chicken chain, is experimenting with a delivery service in Lawrence and other test markets in the United States.
Gregg Reynolds, vice president of public affairs for Kentucky Fried Chicken, said the chain became interested in offering a delivery service because of the success of pizza delivery. He attributed that success to the fact that pizzas, like fried chicken, stands up to travel well.
After the customer places an order, it is flashed to the restaurant closest to the customer and appears on a printout. Pizza Hut restaurants use a similar computer system, but it is based locally.
To place an order with Kentucky Fried Chicken in Lawrence, customers call a toll-free phone number based in Louisville. Ky. If they have ordered before, the operator will use customer's phone numbers to find computer records of their names and last orders.
similar computer systems. High tech delivery seems to be the wave of the future, but most local restaurants don't have elaborate computer systems.
oe complex enough. Richard Shaw, manager of the Magic Wok, 1700 W. 23rd St., said he wanted to start a delivery service from the restaurant within two months because it would make the Magic Wok more competitive.
But because there are many details involved in a delivery service that must be worked out, he is not sure it can be done, he said.
Border Bandido, 1528 W. 23rd St. began delivering about a year ago because no other Mexican restaurants delivered, said Mark Arndt, owner He said that it took time to get the delivery service going, but that delivery is profitable now.
Some restaurants have a limited delivery area. Reynolds said Kentucky Fried Chicken had limited delivery areas within a city, because it would cost too much to deliver everywhere.
owners, such as Border Bandido, charge extra for delivering outside their delivery area. Border Bandido delivers free within the boundaries of Kasold, 31st, Haskell and Sixth streets. Outside of this area, delivery is 75 cents.
Bum Steer Bar-B-Q, 2554 Iowa St., delivers everywhere in the city, but like many restaurants, charges extra for all deliveries. The 5 percent charge is included in the price of the food.
Reynolds said delivery was an expensive way of doing business. But Kentucky Fried Chicken and other non-pizza restaurants have discovered it is a way to competitive.
Bum Steer, Border Bandido, Kentucky Fried Chicken and many other non-pizza deliverers have a minimum amount that customers must order.
Woman is home after hard times in Tibet, Nepal
From staff and wire reports
Like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz." Emily Hill has returned to Kansas, convinced after surviving a blizzard in Tibet and a rhinoceros attack in Nepal that there really is no place like home.
"The thing I'm most excited to see is the hackery tree in my back yard." Hill, a 19-year-old Lawrence resident said yesterday. "Simple things like that. It's nice to be home."
She said she was spending time with friends she hadn't seen for five months.
"I think they were a little disappointed that I didn't look more like an invalid," she said.
"I'm wearing normal clothes, and I'm not lying in bed white as a sheet moaning or anything."
in bed white as a scarlet. Hill, a sophomore at Dartmouth College, is recuperating at her parents home after suffering leg, chest and back wounds last month when a rhinoceros gored her in an animal preserve in Nenal.
Less than a month later, Hill was with a trained guide in the Chitwan National Park when the wild Indian rhinoceros, spoken by an elephant, attacked. She required 60 stitches.
In October, she spent about a week snowbound with 40 tourists in a rusty and battered bus that stalled during a blizzard in the Tibetan Himalayas. She and two friends eventually hiked 60 miles in the snow to Katmandu and got help for the stranded travelers.

Census will alter way of counting city's KU students
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer
Staff writer
Kansas will begin its once-adecade census this January to reposition legislative districts according to population.
A bill passed by the Legislature last session will change the way KU students are counted but will not affect where they are registered to vote.
vote. Under the new law, students who are not permanent residents of the state districts in Lawrence will be counted in the district where their permanent residence is.
pursuing
"Students should be counted at home unless they have abandoned that residence and established a new permanent legal residence at college," said Ybarra, co-director of public relations for Secretary of State Bill Graves. The census will be conducted by Graves' office.
Beginning Jan. 8, Graves' office will send cards to every household in Kansas asking them to list all members of the household and designate those who are college students.
Census workers then will match that information against lists of students given to them by universities to ensure that students aren't counted twice. It also will determine those students who were not registered on one of the cards.
If students were not counted, Winter's senate district and Lawrence area house districts could be reapportioned. That would result in area legislators representing more people in a larger area, he said.
In February, census takers will go door to door in Lawrence and across the state to obtain information from those who have not been counted.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R- Lawrence, said the new way of counting students was a bad idea. Winter said he represented everyone in his district, whether they did or didn't vote for him, whether they were registered voters, residents or neither.
"It treats students as not being here when they really are." Winter Schoenberg

Official visits Iowa to consider top post
Staff writer
By MICHAEL HORAK
Frances Horowitz, KU vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, is visiting faculty and student leaders today at the University of Iowa in her bid to become president of her school.
Horowitz, the only woman being considered for the position, is the fourth of five potential candidates to visit the campus this fall. All candidates will have visited the Iowa City campus by tomorrow.
David Challoner, the vice president for health affairs at the University of Florida in Gainesville, will visit the campus today and tomorrow.
"It's accurate to say that we hope to have a president selected by the end of this year," Bauer said. He said the Iowa Regents would interview the candidates from the list of finalists and could make the final selection sometime this month.
Horowitz's visit began yesterday. She is scheduled to meet with the 17-member presidential search committee, the interim university president, the deans of the university's 10 schools, and campus administrators.
Tom Bauer, associate director of university relations at Iowa, said the search committee hoped it could submit a list of presidential finalists to the Iowa Board of Regents for consideration next week.
The presidency at Iowa became available last spring when James O. Freedman resigned to become president of Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H. The search committee has been meeting since May 5 to find a successor.
In late October, Iowa released the names of four potential candidates for the university presidency, including Horowitz. Challoner was added to the list of candidates in November
The other candidates for the position are Nils Hasslemo, provost at the University of Arizona at Tucson; Donald N. Langenberg, chancellor at the University of Illinois-Chicago; and Robert Stein, dean of law at the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis.
Sam Becker, president of the search committee, said yesterday that committee members would be asking Horowitz about her leadership experience, her vision for Iowa and her understanding of issues facing students and faculty.
Howitz said that she was interested in the position because she received her doctorate at Iowa, and she liked the thought of returning to her alma mater as president.
Horowitz received a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. She received a master's degree in education from Goucher College in Towson, Md.
Horowitz has taught at the University of Kansas for the last 26 years. She began in 1961 as a research associate in the Bureau of Child Research. In 1978 she became the first vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service.
iowa is a Big Ten conference school and has garnered a reputation as a major research university in the Midwest. Its enrollment this fall was about 29,000.
Student Senate to offer condoms in AIDS-education kit
Pritchard ousted from Senate seat
By a Kansan reporter
Kevin Pritchard, KU basketball player and Nuneman senator, was dismissed from Student Senate last night after failing to appeal his suspension for excessive absences.
and said, "I'd still like to be on Student Senate," Pritchard said last night. "I think it's a great organization." He said he planned to become more involved on Senate committees and may run for Senate again this spring.
Pritchard was suspended recently for having more than four absences. The Student Senate Executive Committee met last night to hear appeals, but Pritchard didn't attend.
Pritchard said he had been notified of his suspension but decided not to appeal because basketball games and basketball-related commitments would make him miss the next two Senate meetings.
Senators who successfully appeal suspensions are allowed oily two more absences before being dismissed, according to Senate rules. If they are reinstated, they don't have a second appeal.
don't have a second appearance. The Senate's attendance policy came under fire earlier this semester as being discriminatory against student athletes.
athletes.
Pritchard said he still thought that the Senate attendance policy was flawed. "It hurts people like myself from being able to serve on Senate," he said. "I know there are other ways to help the school, but Student Senate is one of the best ways."

KU students will receive free condoms during January fee payment because of a bill the Student Senate passed last night.
Senate debated for more than an hour before overwhelmingly passing the bill. Despite the considerable controversy that surrounded it, senators rejected several proposed amendments.
The bill, which was sponsored by members of the Senate Task Force on AIDS, calls for $1,400 to buy 10,800 condoms. The bill also allocates $1,500 for the purchase of informational brochures and distribute the condoms and the brochures together as "safer sex" kits.
Three non-senators, including Don Hermesch, Seneca graduate student, addressed the Senate during its open forum.
Most senators agreed that AIDS education was needed at KU, but some opposed including condoms in the kits.
"To me it seems kind of simplistic and idealistic to think that throwing money at condoms is going to have some kind of effect on AIDS at KU." Hermesch said.
But task force member Ruth Lichtwardt, Lawrence sophomore, said that if one life were saved it would be worth it.
Lichtward said she knew that the condoms would create controversy. "If you lower the controversy, you lower the education," she said.
Glenn Shirtiffle, Ottawa, Canada graduate student, said he was at Dartmouth College last year when condoms were distributed to promote sex education.
If you lower the controversy,you lower the education.'

"It was very controversial. But all the students knew about it and talked about it, and it certainly served the purpose," Shirtlife said.
Korey Kaul, holdover senator, supported an amendment to the bill that said the kits should not be handed out to students and made available to interested students.
But Michelle Stuart, Nunemaker senator said, "So you're offended a little bit, but you might have your life saved."
"I think above all we should not offend the students with their own money." Kaul said.
Amy Randles, liberal arts and sciences senator, opposed a part of the bill that allocates $425 for the
distribution of buttons. She particularly opposed buttons that task force member and off-campus senator Kathryn Anderson said would read: "I practice safer sex."
"I practice safer sex.
"The majority of people are not going to voluntarily wear buttons like that." Bandles said.
Task force members agreed to change the buttons to read: "Practice safer sex."
Jason Krakow, student body president, read a prepared statement after the senators voted on the bill.
"To me it undermines the whole purpose of having a governmental group," he said.
In other action, three senators were dismissed for failure to appeal suspension for excessive absences. They were: Liz Parker, liberal arts and sciences senator; Frank Partnoy, off-campus senator; and Kevin Pritchard, Nunemaker senator.
But Michael Foubert, AIDS task force coordinator, said he thought disparate groups should have no further influence on the decision.
"Senate has made its opinions known tonight. The senators have all had an opportunity to express their opinions and influence one another. However, other parties have opinions they wish to express as well. To create a forum for these alternative opinions, I have not at this time ruled out a presidential veto for this piece of legislation," Krakow said.
