Jolliffe breaks fire codes
Installation of fire exit too costly for temperatures
The somewhat obscure Jollife Hall, located on the east edge of campus, is now home to the department of radio, television and film. The building, built in 1941, has also served as a scholarship hall and residence hall.

The sign said the maximum occupancy was nine, but more than 16 people stood on the second floor of Joliffe Hall last week.

The occupancy limit, in conformance to the state Uniform Building Code, requires a fire exit to be on the second floor of a building if more people occupy it at one time. Joliffe has no such exit on its second floor.
Not many students even know the location of the 47-year-old building, the Fraser Hall and the scholarship halls by the campus' pus boundaries near 14th and Ohio streets.

"I don't know who would be to blame, whether they'd sock it to me or what," Ellis said. "You're between a rock and a hard place. Are you going to ask the students to leave? They paid to take the class."
Ellis said he wasn't sure who was supposed to enforce the code.

at the beginning of the semester.
"I know they don't enforce it," Wilkinson said. "I've been at orientations where there were at least 15 people."
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said the reason no exit is on the second floor is that Jolifier is classified as a temporary building. Radio, television and film facilities will move out of Jolifier and into the new Robert J. Dole Human Center scheduled to be finished in 1990.
He estimated a door, escape and modifications would cost $15,000.
"It's hard to justify installing a new fire escape." Modig said.

building passed its inspection last December.
"I assume that in due time they'll get a second exit," Markley said. "If they keep it open too much longer (with more than nine people at once), we're going to have to ask them not to use that building."
Recycling
City urged to start curb-side program
Program could be investigated by task force
Disposing of the problem
By Deb Gruver Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence City Commission has established a task force to study curbside recycling.
Sometimes in the future, Lawrence residents might find themselves going through their trash cans to organize empty pop cans and coffee-sweetened newspaper bags at least little piles for the trash man.
Curb-side recycling might be on its way to Lawrence.

The program would consist of a weekly pick-up of recyclable materials pre-sorted by homeowners. Curb-side programs already are used by other cities to help provide materials in solid waste management.
At Tuesday night's Lawrence City Commission meeting, plans for a task force on recycling were presented to the commissioners Our Recyclables from Trash (SORT) who have researched the feasibility of a program in Lawrence. SORT presented a plan for recycling to the commissioners.

Michael Almon, a Lawrence resident and initiator of SORT, yesterday said that the group was having trouble deciding to look into a task force.
"We want to make sure that the task force is broadly represented
by business people, University officials, environmentalists and neighborhood groups," Almon said.
Almon said curb-side recycling had to be tailored to communities.
be to tailored to communities. "A task force in Lawrence would have to include the University." We can't address the fact that we can't curb side recycling in dormitories. So the task force would have to take a more proactive stance.
Almon said that down the road, recycling saved money in solid waste management. Several
SORT members said at the commission meeting that recycling would have both moral and economic benefits for the city.
Other cities have started successful curb-side recycling programs. One in Kansas City, Mo., serves six neighborhoods.

The council is responsible for the administrative details of the recycle programs. The city takes care of the actual legwork and installation of glass, which include clear glass, aluminum cans and paper products.
Kansas City, Mo., has about 200 recycling bins that house the materials. The bins are shipped to a firm that resells the materials to paper mills and bot-

Schools try to keep students in Kansas
By Laura Woodward Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas and other Board of Regents schools are using academic programs and financial aid packages to combat "brain drain," or the loss of Kaiser high graduates to out-of-state schools.
"The first thing we to do is make our schools as attractive as we can to students so they won't go out of school." The chairman of the Board of Residents
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said that Kansas high school graduates were not the only students KU wanted to attract.
"We also want to attract talent into the state," she said.
Robert Eavesle, director of University Relations, said that there were 39 National Merit Scholars in the 1884 class. Of those students are from out of state.
A Kansas State University press release stated that K-State's freshman class had 33 National Merit with two of those from out of state.
Eversole said that this year, KU enrolled 76 new students who received Summerletter and Walkinsclay with a 14 percent increase over last year.
KU also enrolled 85 Endowment Merit Scholarship students, four National Hispanic Achievement Program students, and two National Achievement Scholar.
The average ACT score for the entering freshman class was 22.1, up slightly from last year. The national average is 18.8.
"For many students, the deciding factor is the quality of the financial aid package." Ramaley said "It tips the scale."
She said $5.5 million in scholarships and awards were distributed to students receiving financial aid from the University of Kansas Endowment
Ramaley said that KU was putting an emphasis on financial aid.
Eversole said the money allocated from the Margin of Excellence and the Endowment campaign helped to secure a financial补贴 to attract students.
Ramaley said KU's curriculum also was an important part of counteracting the brain drain.
"We are putting more emphasis on attracting talented students to KU programs than we do in our program once they get here," she said. "Really bright students are hard to pin down. An advantage of KU is that you can customize your education."
John Stuber, Coffeieffy senior and National Mert Scholar, said it was the quality of KU and not financial support that sparred him to attend the
"I think the honors program is good," he said. "Because I'm in chemical engineering, I haven't done anything yet." But what I have done, I've enjoyed."
Dodderidge said that it also was important to keep students in the state after they were graduated from a Regents school.
"The Regents try to enhance the economic climate of the state through our schools to try to keep our people here," he said.
