Census will alter way of counting city's KU students
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer
Staff writer
Kansas will begin its once-adecde 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
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.
penitentiary. "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 Wint 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.

Masters of the Ball and Towel
W hen basketball ball boy Patrick Newman saw KU guard Scooter Barry falling hit
way during an exhibition game, he had a flashback.
Three years ago, Patrick was knocked down by former Oklahoma forward Wayman Tisdale. In the exhibition game against the Italian National Team on November 14, Barry came close to knocking Patrick down when he slammed into the basketball support goal.
"It was scared when Wayman fell on me, but I wasn't hurt," Patrick said. "And he did apologize, but it was scary."
This time around, Patrick, a five-year ball boy veteran, was smart enough to sit behind the goal. Instead of being scared, Patrick just grinned at the play that sent Barry sprawling to the floor.
Patrick, who attends Central Junior High School in Lawrence, is one of 12 ball boys hired by assistant equipment manager Chuck Newman. Patrick's father, Potential ball boys now submit letters to team manager Danny Tyrrell, and then the first 12 applicants are usually selected, he said.
Each game there are six ball boys, three for each goal. They work every other game, and their reward is the opportunity to meet and talk with Kansas basketball players.
Patrick, 15, said his favorite player was Danny Manning because he was unselfish. He said he was glad his father offered him the job when he was 10. Patriche, who plays basketball for Central Junior High School, hopes to play for KU one day.

"I was very nervous my first game," he said. "It felt like everyone was staring at me. I just decided not to look at the crowd."
But usually during pre-game warm-ups, the fans are more concerned with Kansas players and the opposing team rather than watching the ball boys retrieve basketballs. It's during the game, when sweat needs to be wiped off the floor, that they take center stage.
"I think they do a real good job." Barry said. "We don't look at them as servants. They are more our friends." Barry said the ball boys were important, and Coach Larry Brown watches them to make sure everything is done right.
The players, though, appreciate the ball boys during both warm-up and the game.
"Their job should not be overlooked," Barry said. "They bring us water and towels, and if they didn't clean up sweat, someone could fall and hurt themselves."
With 16:26 left in the second half of the exhibition game, Patrick showed the importance of a beall toy. After two players went to the floor, the referee called a time-out and asked for the floor to be wiped. Patrick ran out to the fans' applause and wiped the floor in four seconds. He was then given a standing ovation by the KU fans just behind the goal.
Besides wiping the floor, ball boys are expected to retrieve basketballs and to give referees towels and water.
Working with Patrick was second-year veteran Jason Estell, 13, and rookie Andy Benglion, 11.
For Bengtson, the exhibition game was the first time he saw action, and he said he was not nervous or intimidated by the crowd.
but he still attended South Junior High School, also plays basketball. He said watching the college players had helped his offense. "I can see close up how they shoot the ball, and it has helped my game," he said.
"I am not bragging," he said. "I feel very lucky to have this job. This is so exciting. I get to watch the Jayhaws keep the streak alive."
Bengtson said he did not worry about being knocked down by players, but when reminded of Patrick's experience with Tisdale, he said, "I guess I will have to."
"Nervous," he said. "I'm not nervous at all. This is going to be great." Bengtson, who attends Schwegler grade school in Lawrence, did not tell his friends that he was spending the night as a ball boy for the Jayhawks.
When the exhibition game ended, it was Patrick who saw the most action. He was called on three times to wipe sweat from the floor.
What Estell likes most about being a ball boy is meeting the players. Estell said his favorite player was also Manning because he was so talented.
Unlike Patrick, tennis, not basketball, is Bengson's favorite sport, even though he hopes to play in the high basket team same day.
Patrick said every game would be meaningful. The five-year veteran said he was going to retire after the season.
