Lawrence organization helps businesses make connections
Lawrence area businesses have new connections for success.
by Scott Achelpohl
Kansan staff writer
Executive Connections, an organization created by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Small Business Council, is a new program designed to bring owners and managers of area businesses together to share business advice and product and service ideas.
Jude McDaniel, member of the council and originator of the idea for Executive Connections, said the new program would act as a volunteer board of directors for Lawrence area small businesses.
"We had the opportunity to set up a network for small businesses to
share problems and ideas," McDana said. "It's also designed to test business ideas before businesses spend a lot of money on them."
So far, 27 small businesses have signed up for the program.
"This arrangement keeps the competition healthy," McDaniel said.

businesses in the organization, she said, must agree to keep all group discussions confidential. She said the representatives of businesses within the program would be divided into separate groups, ensuring that those in competition with each other would not harm that competition.
The service is growing from two groups, with about 12 members each, to include three to four groups, she said. The council hopes to have six or
seven groups by the end of 1989.
Debbie Moore, director of small business and community affairs at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said Executive Connections formed in the early 1989 Lawrence Small Business Fair, which ended last week.
"The businesses will essentially be self-governed once the program exists for a while," Moore said. "We'll only have periodic evaluations of the program that will meet at least twice a year. We'll keep tabs on them."
The first organizational meetings for the program will be at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow and Friday in the Commerce office, 209 W. Eight St.
Recalling the birth of Beatlemania
The Associated Press
They dove into room service: J&B Scotch with Coca-Cola. They binged on "jam butties" (butter and jelly sandwiches), corn flakes and ice cream, and left bowls full of stubbed out "ciggies." The first morning, 37 sacks of mail arrived. And girls.
NEW YORK — The Plaza Hotel was in for a jolt when four mopheats from Liverpool settled in a 12th floor suite for a short winter's stay in February 1964.
the toughest job you'll ever love
Lots of girls.
Screaming, screeching, silly schoolchildren who would kill their grandmothers for a glimpse of John. Paul, George and Ringo.
It was the first magical mystery tour for The Beatles. They landed at Kennedy Airport on Feb. 7 to make their legendary first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on Feb. 9.
For 15 days, the country became inflamed with Bealemania, and it would be years before the fever would die down.
No one at that moment realized the rich gift and legacy
that would emerge from the four musicians. They went on to sell more than any other group in pop history.
seize him only higher grades.
But in 1664, the Beatles had hardly begin. They did not catch on in the United States until Jan. 17, when "I Want to Hold Your Hand" hit '1 on the Cash card.
Within a year, they grossed $1.6 million in the first week's showing of their movie, "A Hard Day's Night," and Lennon's koooky book, "In His Own Write," climbed best-seller lists overnight. In rapid succession, they made six hit albums, including 1967's anthem to the Summer of Love, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
This alternately melancholy, terrifying and exhilarating record captured as no other the complex textures of its time: a corrosively contradictory summer when hippies groped at the Monterey P@p Festival, black emotions exploded in riots in Detroit and Newark, and a war grew bloodier in Vietnam. Youngful listeners somehow heard all of this in "Sgt. Pepper's," an album whose themes included Eastern culture.
"Sgt. Tept's" sold 2.5 million records in its first three months and stayed on the charts for 113 weeks.
