ZENGER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Kansan: Do you have any plans for developing new programs, like new plans to, further develop Olympic sports or any plans you may have for the football program?
At the same time, we need all the sports to be
Zenger: Again, those are things that I need to have time to sit down with the coaches and review history, financial resources, competition within the league and really begin to ascertain what it is we can set as immediate goals, intermediate goals and long-term goals. It's always been my belief that all ships rise. We will always have basketball at the tip of the sphere; it is legendary at the University of Kansas.
as competitive as possible and in the upper half of the conference and those will be the goals we will be driving toward.
Kansan: Everyone I've spoken to describes you as a coach's athletics director. Where do you think that focus comes from?
Zenger: I wanted to be a coach every since I was a little kid. I grew up in a family of educators. From that, that is just kind of the core of who you are and I really take pride in the fact that I have been a coach and did it off and on for quite awhile.
Kansas: You've been very public about being very happy at Illinois State University, where you worked as athletics director until, officially, today. If you really were, why come here?
Zenger: I have indicated this over the past couple of weeks just how highly I think of this institution and how I think it is one of the premier institutions and athletic departments in the country. The opportunity to come serve this institution was just something that nobody could possibly pass up.

LAWRENCE
Snowstorm fills community shelter
BY ADAM STRUNK

As a storm bringing up to 12 inches of snow and freezing temperatures hits town, some people in Lawrence are still scrambling to find a place to stay.
the Lawrence Community Shelter at 214 West 10th Street provides food and housing for those in need. The Shelter is preparing for the blizzard this week by stocking up on food and supplies.
"This is the kind of weather that really brings people in," Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter said. Henderson said that the Lawrence Community Shelter, which can hold 76 people, was already full. Even more people will arrive looking for a place to stay, says Henderson.
"We have an overflow arrangement with neighboring churches," Henderson said. The Salvation Army, Plymouth Congregational Church, First United Methodist Church and Trinity Lutheran Church will all open their doors to take the shelter's overflow guests.
"My concern is food as much as space." Henderson said. "We have volunteers who bring in food for
some of our evening meals. If it's really bad they won't be able to come in ... We may end up serving a bunch of PB and J's." Henderson added that even though food may be short, people were just happy to have a place to stay.
Center explained the risks of being exposed to the elements. She said that frostbite, hypothermia, loss of consciousness and, eventually, death could occur if a person were left without proper clothing and shelter for an extended period of time.
