Snooze time
Arnold Cabrera, McPherson senior, takes time out from his studies to nap at the Anschutz Science Library. Cabrera was resting yesterday afternoon on the first floor of the science library, which opened last fall.
Three weeks ago, Kimbrell sold the company, Hall-Kimbrell 'Environmental Services Inc., to professional Services Industries of Chicago for an investment sum. He remains president of the company but is no longer owner.

"A lot of people just sit back with the money they've made, but he's the kind of entrepreneur that uses his experience for the benefit of other entrepreneurs," said Brian Osborn, president of the KU chapter of ACE.
Hall-Kimbrell made $12.7 million in 1988, an increase of more than 10,774 percent from its 1984 earnings. The company is the largest asbestos-consulting and -removal firm in the nation and was ranked ninth among Inc. Magazine's 500 fastest-growing U.S. companies of 1988.
Entrepreneur David Kimbrell divulges his stories of success
Kanean staff writer
Kimbrell shared some of the secrets of success at a meeting of the Association of College Entrepreneurs yesterday at the Kansas Union.
"You've got to go on gut feeling more than anything else," Kimbrell told the audience. "Entrepreneurs make things more than market analysis."
Kimbrell said legislation requiring schools to identify and remove asbestos opened up a market for removal companies.
In 1894, Kimbrell decided he would enter the national market and moved his operation to Overland Park; he and his wife bought a house in Lawrence. The Kansas City area offered a central location and a good airport hub, he said.
"He thought tbssest removal was wa-
l a flash in the pan," Kimbrell sald.
Kimbrell took the $100,000 he had earned in Mississippi and poured most of it into sending mailings to the country and major hospital in the country.
Kimbrell followed such a feeling in 1982 when he sat down with Frank Hall, an architect in Oxford, Miss., and discussed the idea of forming an asbestos-removal company.
"We were in the right place at the riad when he said, 'Luck was definitely involved.'
the First National Bank of Oxford and the company took form. After three months of removing asbestos from Mississippi schools, Hall sold his 40 percent share of the company to Kimbrell for $1,100.
Kimbrell moved the business to Lawrence a few months later after he and his wife grew tired of commuting, he said.
Hall-Kimbrell made $409,000 in 1984, and Kimbrell again poured most of the money into marketing. Kimbrell said self-promotion was vital to business success.
"It was a risk, but entrepreneurse have to take risks." Kimbrell said. "'Conservative' and 'entrepreneur' are not compatible terms."
He said he sold Hall-Kimbrell to Professional Services Industries of Chicago because the company needed more experienced management.
Hall co-signed a $20,000 loan from
"It it was best for the company. Our managing structure was made of entrepreneurs, and we needed a leader who is not afraid to take us to the next level," he said.
Kimbrell said one of the company's latest projects was testing water at schools and day-care centers, which are required to analyze their water for lead.
Confessions of a 3.8 Student
"My parents told me to get a tutor..."
"Instead, I got myself a Macintosh!
You see, my grades haven't always been this good. I had a hard time adjusting to college life and it really took its toll on my grades.
Now, I'm not saying that if you get a Macintosh, your rades will automatically
grades will automatically
get better. Good grades still take a lot of hard work.
I guess you could say the key to success in my story was the way Macintosh added some organization to my otherwise unorganized life.
My parents are happy with my improvement, too. The funny thing is that they still think I have a tutor named Mac!"
