Census will alter way of counting city's KU students

Kansas will begin its once-adecade census this January to reapportion 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.
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.
"Students should be counted at home unless they have abandoned that residence and established a new permanent legal residence at college," said Frank 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.
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.
If students were not counted, Winter's senate district and Lawrence area house districts could be re-portioned. That would result in area legislators representing more people in a larger area, he said.
in a larger city.
"It itts students as not being here when they really are." Winter said.
