University Daily Kansan Friday, April 21, 197 9 Motor pool cars for state business only By TIMOTHY TANKARD Staff Writer The influence of the University of Kansas extends across the state. Usually it travels by telephone wire or by mail, but sometimes it must go by car. As a result, KU operates a motor pool of 22 vehicles—19 sedans, one van, one pick-up and a carry-all-at the disposal of any vehicle that is not an official go-off campus to represent the University. Nobody gets priority in renting the cars, according to Ross Danielson, who manages the complex. "We run on a strictly first-come, first- serve base system." And that goes for the drone on desk. The cars are rented to University departments and offices at 12 cents a mile, which covers gas, insurance and any possible repair costs. The driver must pay parking and turnpike expenses, as well as tickets. "We usually find out who gets tickets in our cars because they call down to see if we'll pay them," said Danielson. "Of course, we tell them no." DANIELSON SAID students were not carried away and they were part of a vanished by a faculty member. Motor pool drivers are strictly instructed to use the car for the purpose of state road safety. "if they have to go get a meal or something, that's OK," Danielson said. "But say that person meets somebody at a convention or whatever and gets invited over afterwards." She shook her head, saying, "No go." "Of course I can't hide in the trunk of car that goes out of here," she added to her friend. more watching for those cars plastered with "For Official Use Only" front and back. "We got a call from somebody last Sunday because he saw a state car in Ottawa," she said. "He couldn't figure out what a state department did." The day Sunday it turned out the driver was eating." Danielson said that such calls came in frequently. YOU CAN BE SURE that if a University vehicle pulls into a liquor store, somebody is nearby. Passengers are not allowed in the cars either, even wives, unless they are on state business also. Danaelson said the reason for the delay was that passengers were not covered by the car's insurance. To be assured of getting a car, Danielle said that a person should call in at least a week in advance if he wanted one for a day or two. "I want to go on vacation and wanted one for a week or more. Right now "Things really get tight when a car or two gets put out of service," Daniels said. "I like it." there is a list of about 30 people waiting for cancellations. The cars are rented out for anything from 15-minute jaunts downtown to 30-day sojourns to California. All motor pool cars are equipped with air conditioning. New cars are one of the motor pool's expenses. ___ Keeping the cars in top running condition is essential. Many of them register more than 100,000 miles before they are replaced. Most of the cars are then auctioned off by the state. After every trip, the cars are serviced and cleaned at the Facilities Operations garage. garage did all repairs except major body work and front-end alignments. Kautz has four full-time mechanics and two part-time helpers to service the cars. They also serve more than 150 other零部件 in vehicles, ranging from diesel tractors to buses. According to Kautz, University-owned vehicles burn about 2.500 kilograms of gasoline a year. THE MOTOR POOL is classified by the University as a service clearing account, which means that it is supposed to make enough money to cover operating expenses.

This is one of those unanswerable questions, like, "Which came first, the chicken or the colonel?" However, discussing it can be quite rewarding. So, as your Dean of Beer, I suggest you gather a group of fellow scholars and ponder the question over a significant sample of draught Schiltz. (Or is it draft?) This procedure is known, in layman's terms, as a "Beer Party." This will undoubtedly raise a question for further study: Why does it taste so good? To obtain proper research materials, consult the Yellow Pages for the name of your local Schiltz distributor. Siglinda Steinfuller Dean of Beer IF YOU DON'T HAVE SCHLITZ, YOU DON'T HAVE GUSTO.
