Internships supply insights to careers
A semester with Lawrence Police changed student's choice of jobs
by Angela Clark Kansan staff writer
Crime doesn't pay, but it can make for good internships.
Mike Slattery had an internship Spring 1987 with the Lawrence Police Department as a senior in psychology at the University of Kansas.

An experience like Slattery's is the goal of Brian Neely, Overland Park senior.
"It would be good to get some experience," said Neely, a major in crime and delinquency studies, a special major at KU.
William Arnold, associate professor of sociology, said 35 students were in the program this year, and each is required to do an internship.
The major is made up of classes in sociology, psychology, political science and human development and [family life].
"I help them decide what kind of agency they'd like to be in." Arnold said. "Practicum is invaluable. It lets the student know if he really wants to do that — to see what the real world is like."

An internship can be with a law enforcement center, probation department or any other crime prevention body. But this real life experience can be hard to get.
Ron Olin, Lawrence police chief, said, "We take no more than one per
semester. Some people come in and survey the health of the police officers, others do in-depth evaluations of problems like rape."

"We have people who come down here and we just can't use them." Olin said. "Their project is too grand in magnitude, they would be opening files that are inappropriate, or it has no benefit to the department. We can't put them in a car to run around or do cases in court."

"It is a lot of trouble for the agencies to take the students." Arnold said. "But the students really appreciate it, they feel that it gives them a real insight to the work."

Olin said he understood the need for insight.
"It gives us a chance to have research conducted, and gives the students hands-on training," Olin said. "We've had some really great interns."
Recycling in Lawrence gets favorable actions from City Commission
by Max Evans Keeps stall writer
Kansan staff writer
Two local environmental groups are hoping to turn people's trash into cash.
One group, Separate Out Recyclables from Trash (SORT), will sponsor "SORT Saturday" from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 25 in Buildings 1 and 2 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
Farington
The Lawrence City Commission declared the day "Recycling Day," and SORT will be attempting to boost environmental awareness.
SORT invites participants to bring presorted recyclables to the fairgrounds. Aluminum cans, steel cans, newspaper and computer paper, hard plastic containers and glass, sorted by color, will be accepted.
Patricia Marvin, spokesman for the group, said various environmental organizations would set up information tables. Till-Star Recycling of Topea will purchase recyclable materials.
Reyes Proceeds will be used to promote recycling in Lawrence, Marvin said.
One business that will have a table at "SORT Saturday" is River City Recycling.
City Recycling. Last week the commission granted Robin Naramore, owner of the business, permission to open a recycling buy-back center at 716 E. Ninth St.
The site, scheduled to open March 3, will be a change for Naramore, who has operated a mobile route picking up aluminum cans with a truck and recycling them out of her home.
Naramore said her clients included KU residence halls, fraternities, sororities and Lawrence businesses.

One of Naramore's clients, Cottonwood Inc., 2801 W. 31st St., has picked up once a month. J.R. Condra, director of vocational services for Cottonwood, does not only an efficient way of getting rid of waste products, but also made sense environmentally.
"It's nice to know that instead of it going to a landfill, we're recycling something," Condra said.
Naramore hopes that with the opening of the new buy-back center, customers will be able to sell not only aluminum, but also glass, paper products and plastics.
She said customers bringing aluminum cans to the center would be paid almost a third more than those on the pick-up route.
