Law students ready to argue their case in moot court trial
by Mary Neubauer Kansan staff writer
On Feb. 13, Ambassador Kitaro, from the Third World nation of Aristan, traveled to Majan, another Third World nation, on a diplomatic trip. After he attended a reception in the city of Providence, Kitaro met with an international drug trafficker.
When Kitaro tried to exchange drugs for money, the trafficker decided not to pay and fled with the money and drugs. Kitaro jumped into his car and tried to run down the trafficker.
But during the chase he hit a woman and her child, and he is charged with illegal drug trafficking and vehicular homicide by the nation of Maian.

Because of regrouping of the regions, this is the first year that KU's team will compete in the Southwest regional competition, from Feb. 16 to 18 in Houston.
Robertson said that each team argued against the briefs of another university's team during practice rounds so that the team members could defeat their opponents in their minds before they met them at actual competition.

Cline said he enjoyed the competition because it gave teams members
a chance to compare their educational training to that of students at other universities.
"Everyone works hard together," he said. "We didn't just enter to compete. We entered to win."
Kuwana said he wasn't one of the team's speakers because he wasn't experienced in oral argument as other team members. Instead, he does much of the team's in-depth research and reading.

He said that the team spent hundreds of hours preparing its written brief and that team members now spent about 20 hours a week working on oral arguments.
"I don't act as a coach because the speakers are up there alone," he said. "But when the other team is speaking, we can talk about what they're bringing up that they didn't have in their brief."

Club offers insight for businesses
by Scott Achelpohl
Kansan staff writer
Those involved with a new Lawrence small business club expect it to develop into a vehicle for ideas and advised in Lawrence's competitive college business community.
Executive Connections, an organization designed by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the Small Business Council, is designed for chamber members who want to share business ideas and advice.
snare business needs
The club was born from an idea by Jude McDaniel, member of the Small Business Council, and grew from the 1989 Lawrence Small Business Fair on Feb. 4 and 5.
meetings McDaniel said that judging from the organizational meetings last week, all indications pointed toward continued enthusiasm for the club and its purpose.
on Feb. 4 and 5.
The two groups of businesses in the club meet Thursday and Friday at the Chamber of Commerce, 209 W. Eighth St., for one-hour organizational meetings.
"At the meetings, we had two pretty excited groups," she said.
"We made sure everyone understood the purpose of the group. I think the response to Executive Connections has been very good."
The 27-member club is divided into two groups to ensure that businesses that compete in the same areas do not harm competition.
The groups in the organization will have their first regular meetings March 14 and 21. McDaniel said. The groups will meet once a month.
Philip Bradley, business manager at Bradley Veterinary Hospital, 935 E. 23rd St., and member of the club, said the club would help him with aspects of his service organization.

The Chamber of Commerce, Bradley said, was active in helping businesses survive and thrive in Lawrence's competitive college market.
market. "I'll be glad to share the ideas I have," he said.
Jane Bateman, owner of Jane Bateman-The Drapery Maker, 2101
B. W. 28th St. Terrace, said she spent much of her time at her group's meeting discussing the principles and structure of the organization.
"I was pleased to see the openness of the businesses." Bateman said. "People seemed willing to share ideas, thoughts and concerns."
The club will serve as an unpaid board of directors, Bateman said.
"It will give my business feedback on how to grow," she said. "It will also help me with problems finding employees. I need to have people with specific talents in my business, and I can take some ideas on how to advertise."
Debi Moore, director of small business and community affairs at the chamber, said enthusiasm for the club was high enough to form a third group of businesses within the club.
group of 8 Moore said that although the club was in its infancy, topics of discussion in the club were advancing.
"We've discussed topics such as how businesses control growth and how to resolve problems between feuding employees," Moore said. "The groups are already talking about bringing in guest speakers."
