If all goes well next week, KU's proposed Regents Center will officially have a home.
The Overland Park City Council sent a rezoning application for the center back to the city's planning commission at a meeting Monday night, and the application will be voted on again Feb. 13.
Bob Lindeblad, senior planner for the Overland Park Planning Commission, said the application was returned to the commission to add a stipulation for a proposed apartment complex at the site.
The council asked that the rezoning application require the developer to comply with the city's guidelines on multi-unit housing, he said.
The application will be resubmitted to the council Monday, and Lindebled said it is expected to pass.
The proposed plan includes the Regents Center, an apartment complex and a shopping center to be located at 127th Street and Quivira Road, near Highway 10.
The proposed package would cost $6 million. The University of Kansas has requested $2 million from the Legislature, with the rest to be raised privately.
State Rep. Phil Kline, R-Overland Park, said the Joint Committee on State Building Construction had deleted Regents Center financing from a bill because KU had not submitted a required program statement to the committee.
The statement must explain what the building is intended for, what type of group will use it, and what space requirements are needed, and must give a preliminary architectural plan and cost estimate.
total partners. Kline, vice chairman of the building committee, said he expected the statement from KU within three weeks. The Regents Center financing would then be added to the bill.
If the building committee approves the financing, it will then make a recommended Committee and the House Appropriations Committee and the House Appropriations Committee.
"I talked to some people on the committee last week, and as of then it seemed to be in trouble," state Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence said, going against KU, but there seems to be an anti-Johnson County feeling."

Newth is participating in the Preceptorship Program, which is directed by the University of Kansas Medical Center's department of family practice.
Cather's dept/hospital, conducted by the Med Center since 1951, gave medical students the opportunity to work with practicing physicians for one month, said Fred Whitehead, assistant director of the Preceptorship Program.
Students generally learn about primary care, such as family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics. Whitehead said. They also gain experience about managing a medical practice as a business.

Job hunt made easy at center
by Brett Brenner Kansan staff writer
The University Placement Center is a secret in the Burge Union that the directors don't want to hide.
"We would be pleased with people coming through the doors all of the time," said Terry Glenn, assistant director of the center.
The center is open to any student in the University, although the primary responsibility of the center is to students of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Education, and the School of Fine Arts. Glenn said
Brad Finley, Atwood senior, said that he had used the placement center four or five times in the past two semesters.

The center provides many services to students: advising, arranging on campus interviews, coordinating internships and career-related summer work, publishing an employment opportunity bulletin, conducting workshop activities, mentoring on job changes, distributing job information, appraising the University of job trends, and making referrals for graduates.
Glenn was unable to give an estimate of the number of students who used the center, although he did say that the center had files for approximately 2,200 students last year.
The number of students with files does not include those who come in for counseling or workshops.

said, although some career counseling is done.
The student can go to the center for one-on-one counseling about the interview and to attend workshops about having successful interviews. The center can give the student a video and can videotake it for a critique.
Approximately 175 companies and schools come to the campus to interview every year. Glenn said.
Finley said that the center had been helpful in showing him where to go for information and interviews. Using the center is also more economical than traveling to the companies, he said.
Students interested in interviewing with a firm that is visiting the campus should register with the center, Glenn said.
Glenn said the center was not just an agency trying to get the student a job.
