Census will alter way of counting city's KU students
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer

Kansas will begin its once-a-decade 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.
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.
use. Steve Sen, Wint Wint Jr., R-Laurence, 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 reapportioned. That would result in area legislators representing more people in a larger area, he said.

A short walk east of the Plaza on 47th Street takes a diner back to the 1950s. Under its art-deco marque, Winstead's Drive-in specializes in what New Yorker magazine food critic Calvin Trillin has called the best hamburger in the world. Trillin, a Kansas City native, favors the double steakburger with everything and grilled onions. The drinks, including cherry limeades with scoops of lime sherbet, are served in those tapered, bulbous glasses that used to be everywhere.
gives him.
At the other end of the Plaza is an informal night spot offering a counterpoint to the coat-and-tie crowds at Houlihan's and its peers: the Longbranch Saloon, located in the basement of Seville Square. On a wall behind the bar, a yellow hand-lettered sign tells anyone looking: "If you haven't seen this sign, tell the bartender — win a free drink!" Like the two dozen or so others, it's signed by someone named Walt with the year of its posting; this one went up in 1983.
"Walt" is Walt Coffey, who, along with New York Yankees general manager Lou Piniella, owns the Longbranch Saloons in Overland Park, Lenexa and the Plaza. According to general manager Bob Budde, Walt wrote down a saying on butcher paper one day at the Lenexa saloon and taped it up. It said "Expenses will rise to meet increased income." Customers frequently steal the signs, Budde said.
From reading the walls, one gets the impression that Walt is a curable romantic. "Joe DiMaggio dumped Marilyn Monroe. Someone will dump you," he tells us. He also advises customers to "Marry anyone with a 40-foot cruiser" while keeping in mind that "As good as' means it ain't." But then, "Nothing is impossible if someone else has to do it."
Sho. The Longbranch is a stark contrast to the other Plaza watering holes, with customers as often as not in jeans and work shirts. Behind the bar, bartender Chris tries to convince a young woman at the bar to try making a shelled hard-boiled egg jump from one shot glass into another by blowing on it. Chris effortlessly demonstrates, and several other bar patrons get it on the second try, but the woman remains perplexed. Puff. Giggle. Puff. Laugh. Puff. The egg finally hops out of the glass, misses the other one and rolls around on the bar.
Hovering over the eating area is a shark balloon with a sign: "This is not a balloon, it's a real shark. Hi! Call me Fido." A sign over the door reminds customers that the minimum is 10 drinks.
customer Above the Longbranch stretches Seville Square, designed with Spanish motifs that sometimes get lost in the contemporary mall-style architecture that shares the space. An understated courtyard in the center of the square stretches up to the roof, with shops along the outside.
100. Work with Seville.
South of Seville Square is a collection of shops offering unusual imported groceries, deli items, real French bakery goods and other esoteric foods. At the edge of all this is T.J. Cinnamon's bakery, whose menu is composed of four kinds of cinnamon rolls.
The latest stop on the Plaza tour, T.J.'s stays open all night on weekends, draws the late-movie, bar and lights crowds and灵敏 wanderers. Their specialty, a basic cinnamon roll with icing, has enough sugar to overwhelm sensitive eaters. But, as the New York Times said recently, "New Yorkers who get appleyx; Kansas Citians just get white, sticky chins."
