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 reaportion 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 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.

DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE
You'd Better Watch Out!
That's right, Santa is coming to town. If you have been really good, here is a list of extra-special items you just may get.
Story by Michael Merschel Illustration by Jimmy Yankoviz
You've been good this year, real good. You finished that term paper a week early, impressed your boss by staying late every night, kept your room clean, and wrote home once a week.
Now that it's Christmas,it's time for the payoff.
Maybe you thought Lawrence was too small a town for the big gifts you deserved. You're wrong.
This short list of Lawrence's most expensive gifts totals over $200,000. But be warned: No matter how good you were this year, even Santa Claus probably doesn't have a sleigh (or a checking account balance) big enough for these goodies.
Even starting simple, with stuffed animals, can cost a semester's tuition. The Palace, 8 W. Eighth S., sells life-sized stuffed dogs by Avanti. These canines aren't as messy as the real-life version, but they cost more than a few bones. A little grey shauzer nurses $110, a black pooch $120. And the huge black labrador goes for $350.
If that price seems a little steep for stuffed animals, how about a baseball card? Jay's Card Shop, 1014 Massachusetts St., has a 1953 Topp's Mickey Mantle for sale.
Although owner Jay Shafter said the card was going for less than what price guides suggest for a card in mint condition, $50 is still a mint compared to what most people are used to paying for baseball cards.
Perfume might seem a more practical than cards or animals. Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., sells a 1/3 ounce bottle of Shalimar, a fragrance from House of Guelain, Paris, for $70. Sue Hopkins, fragrance buyer, said the bottle's contents would probably last from nine months to a year.
Perfume that nice deserves nice jewelry. For $8,475, Mark's Jewelers, 817 Massachusetts St., will sell a 1.35 carat emerald with two 15 point tapered diamond baguettes set in a ladies' platinum ring.
