Minority students statewide get down to business at fair
By Sandra Moran
Kansan staff writer
It was much like a scene on Wall Street. Men and women in business suits milled around the room buying and selling office space and deeds.
But the place was not Wall Street; it was the Lawrence Holidome. The people were not stockbrokers; they were Kansas college students.
About 130 students from four Board of Regents schools attended the Minority Symposium yesterday at the Hololdome, 200 McDonald Drive. The symposium was sponsored by the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University.
Students from the three schools, in addition to students from Emporia State University, attended speeches, workshops and a career fair designed
to encourage minorities and women to learn more about opportunities in engineering.
Leonard Sleds, director of management development for the East Ohio Gas Company, conducted a workshop on organizational effectiveness. He taught students that success required more than attaining technical skills.
He conducted two activities to illustrate what happened when the organizational unit in a company does not communicate.
"No matter how you look at it and where you are in your career, you use the same name."
The first activity pitied four groups against each other in a money and office-space battle, which demonstrated the high energy of big business.
The second game allowed the groups to use what they had learned in the first game to work together.
Representatives from national companies such as Exxon Corp., Southwestern Bell and General Corp. attended the career fair.
A GM representative said the company sent representatives to the career fair to expose students to the field. Students are candidates for future employment.
"If someone comes in we're interested in, we ask for a resume or contact the heads of the departments." he said.
Representatives from national companies such as Exxon Corp., Southwestern Bell and General Motors Corp. attended the career fair.
Hanson began to follow the gunman after the car failed to stop at the road block, Towe said. When the car ran over a fire hose, Hanson stopped him.
Descriptions of the car at the scene of the shooting vary.
Continued from p. 1
Towe said the gunman drove a beige car.
Manuel Baldovino, a witness to the shooting, said the car was blue with a white top, matching the original bank robbery description.
The conflicting descriptions first
led police to think that there may have been more than one person involved in the robbery, Towe said. The possibility of more than one suspect has not been ruled out although only one person was seen during the robbery and at the shooting.
"He probably thought he was just talking to some good old boy who was in more of a hurry to get home than he was." Towe said.
Baldovino said he heard one shot, a beatitation and then three rapid shots.
From his vantage point, he could see Hanson but no the gunman.
"I was amazed the officer didn't fall."
After the first shots, Hanson drew his gun, knelt and fired three shots in the direction of the gumman, who had been shot with a blue nylon lacelet. Baldovino said.

Towe said the gunman climbed back into the car and rolled between 75 and 80 feet before hitting a garage. He said the man probably was dead by the time the car hit the garage.
