THE START OF A

City manager stresses planning for long term

JAYHAWK JOURNEY

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

In his first 100 days on the job, Lawrence City Manager Tom Markus already has discovered that it can be tough for elected officials to see the big picture in Lawrence, and listening to the loudest voices oftentimes doesn’t help. Markus, who came to Lawrence after serving as the city manager of Iowa City, has issued a report on his first 100 days in office in Lawrence.

Classes start Monday at the University of Kansas, but students started moving back to campus on Thursday. We asked some of the freshmen moving into the residence halls at Daisy Hill for their thoughts on the start of their college experience.

BENJAMIN BASSEY

Hometown: Homewood-Flossmoor, Ill. Major: Computer science/mechanical engineering What are you most excited for being a new freshman and on your own? Just being around the college environment. What are your parents most nervous about? They want me to do well in school, so they’re most worried about me not doing well in school.

Topeka — Anyone who tried to call the Kansas Board of Regents this past week probably had a lot of trouble getting through. That’s because on Monday the agency moved its phone lines, along with its computer network servers, off of the state’s internal system and onto an external system called Kan-REN, the Kansas Research and Education Network, based at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

Hometown: Olathe Major: Biology What are you most excited for? Honestly, the freedom. And the freedom to learn what I kinda want to learn, the specific classes that I want to take. What are you most nervous about? Also probably the classes. The schoolwork and making sure that I can stay on top of it. Being able to handle the freedom and still prosper with it.

CODY MILBURN

> RENT, 8A

Hometown: Stewartville, Minn. Major: Architectural engineering What are you most nervous about? I think my parents and I are both nervous about the same thing because it’s about six hours from home. If anything goes wrong you’ve got that sixhour gap.
