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.
ing to populate A bill passed by the Legislature last session will change the 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.
be conducted
Beginning Jan. 8, Graves' office will send cards to every household in Kansas ask 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 reapportioned. That would result in area legislators representing more people in a larger area, he said.
"It treats students as not being here when they really are." Winter said.

Comedians Find Profits and
"If it ever stops being fun, I'll find a day job," said Keith Gisser, a comedian from Cleveland, Ohio.
T wo comedians sat at a dark table after their show at Gammon's and talked quietly as the
"They (comedians) are definitely a more popular form of entertainment than bands in Lawrence right now," said Gammon's manager Dane Lee. Gammon's has featured comedy nights for three and a half years.

Gisser opened for Dennis Butler, also from Cleveland, at Gammon's, 1601 W. 23rd, on a Tuesday night a few weeks ago.
Gammon's has comedians for a few hours every Tuesday night. And in the Kansas City area and across the country, comedy clubs are thriving as an alternative to bands and movies.

"It beats working for a living," Butler said.
Minutes before, Butler, a tall, skinny black man, had been an explosion of energy. He shouted. He sang. He screamed jokes about race and sex.
"Nothing scares me worse than a room full of white people," he told a crowd of about 100. "I like you people, but it's still Kansas."
since April.
Below, the Tuesday night Comedy Shop at Gammon's features such acts as Keith Gisler and draws an enthusiastic crowd. Harry Milke, a featured act at Stanford and Sons Comedy House, uses many characters.
The jokes are about a little bit of everything, but they're in good taste. Woods said.
A guy near the stage told Butler that he was 21 years old.
"It's kind of fun to go out, hang out, watch a decent comedian and drink a few beers," he said.
"21? Jesus. You're still trying to figure out if you are old enough to buy Bon Jovi records," he said.
Dean Fullinwider, El Dorado senior, and Wendy Woods, Smith Center senior, sat with a friend at a table next to the stage. They'd been to Gammon's comedy nights before.
Most comedians do stand-up routines and talk with the audience. The comedians aren't always polite. And people who sit up close are often their targets.
Tim Kneidel, Wichita senior, sat at a safe distance from the stage.
They're mostly about sex and drugs. Fullinwider said.
"I like seeing people disgraced," he said.
But some people sit up close hoping the comedians will harass them a little.
The jokes that night weren't very intellectual. They wouldn't win awards for sensitivity. But the crowd enjoyed them. Butler doesn't change his material much for college crowds or Midwestern crowds, he said after the show.
Butler never joked about drugs, but, "Since the beginning of time, women have been trying to convince men that they have periods," he said. "I think that's bull."
"People are people," he said. "The same people who live here live in New York."
