What do you think? BY VICTORIA PITCHER
What city would be best to have an internship in?
PETER MEI
Freshman from Beijing "New York, it's easy to have a job, and they have more of a choice to find more opportunities. It's a big city, so bigger companies are there."
BRIANNERILEY Freshman from Chicago "Chicago, that's where I am from. There's nothing better than the windy city."
CHELSEA JACOBSEN
Senior from Chicago "I'd probably say New York. My sister had an internship there and I visited her. It's fast-paced and it's out of your comfort zone."
JOHN CASTELLO
Freshman from Topeka "New York or San Francisco, one of the coast cities. Growth usually occurs at the coast so it makes sense to find jobs there."

With its $18.4 million in research funding, the School of Pharmacy ranks fourth in the nation.
Pharmacy school awarded millions
BY SHAUNA BLACKMON sblackmon@kansan.com
For the 10th year in a row, the School of Pharmacy ranks among the top five schools to receive funding from the National Institute of Health with more than $18.4 million. Money granted by the NIH goes to professors to further cancer and Alzheimer's research, along with other issues of drug formulation and disease cures and prevention.
"Our faculty is on the cutting edge of research technology," Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy said. "The creativity of our faculty helps us retain some of the best scientists in the world."
The amount of grant money a school receives is generally an indication of the school's national reputation. This year Kansas ranks fourth in research funding and is the only

All of the research money the school uses comes from various grants, none of which are associated with the University. Other contributors include the Department of Defense and the state government. However, most of the money comes from the NIH.
The School of Pharmacy also ranks in the top 10 percent of faculty members who receive NIH grant funding. Of the University's 40 pharmacy professors, 18 of them each received $489,000 for research in his or her field.
"This money is driving the training of graduate students," Audus said. "We are generating the next generation of new drugs."

But running a hot dog stand isn't quite as simple as one would think. Mandel and Sharkan, both juniors from Chicago, had to develop a business plan, present their plan to the Lawrence business community and wait from approval by local officials. Initially there was some opposition to the idea of a hot dog stand downtown — there was the worry that foot traffic would lead
"We've got it down to a science," Mandel said. "We've learned to work well together when it gets crazy. Somehow, it works."

Justin Sharkan and Jason Mandel officially started The Last Stop Snack Shop in September. Now, six months later, Sharkan and Mandel's business is beginning to thrive — and the stand is becoming a staple in downtown Lawrence nightlife. The stand is located on the corner of 10th and Massachusetts Streets, in front of the Masonic Temple. There, Mandel and Sharkan sell everything from hot dogs to walking tacos, feeding late-night bar-goers and Massachusetts Street regulars.
"It's been incredibly lucrative, but it's been worth our time," he said.
Mandel said that while the two were developing a business plan, some forecasting was done to analyze the financial aspects of starting the stand. While the initial start-up costs of the stand have not yet been met, Mandel said the monetary benefits are similar to what they predicted.
