Stadium security increases to counter possible pranks
Increased game security and a repaired scoreboard will guarantee that at least stadium facilities will be ready when the games come in, catches to town for tomorrow's game.
Mike Hill, chief of the KU Police Department, said yesterday that extra personnel would be added to existing patrol shifts.
"There will be increased security for the two nights for any increased problem."
The KU-KState annual encounter, this year staged in Lawrence, has traditionally been a
Wildcat pranksters have been known to leave their purple stain in the Chi Omega fountain and on the Jayhawk bird in front of it, adding another to assorted acts of vandalism.
Doug Messer, assistant athletic director in charge of business affairs, said he would be working with a full stadium crew and would also would be the same as for any other game.

Students living in residence halls who will need a room over the Thanksgiving holidays should sign up by Monday and be prepared to pay $84 a day for vacation housing.
Students to pay more for vacation housing
A minimum of 30 student housing requests will be required to keep a residence hall
The rate of 30 persons at $6 a day was recouped by the Administrative Board (AIB)
Anne Eversole, assistant dean of women and AHB adviser, said last night that vacation housing information was handed out to residents as resident directors of every residence hall.
If there are not 30 requests in a residence hall, students needing housing cannot be placed in other residence halls as in past years because the halls are full. A resident cannot be housed in another resident's room over vacation.
EVERSOLE SAID that the AHD would try to help any resident find housing if his own hall did not have enough requests to remain open.
This year's vacation housing fee is $2 higher than last year. The minimum number of people required has been raised by 12.
Freed McElhenne, associate deen of men and AHB adviser, said Wednesday that the rates had been increased so that security could be improved.
"We feel a definite need for adequate security for the residents and their property. We've realized the two couple that person can't do the job." McEllenne said.
In previous years, each residence hall had a hall supervisor and a security person. This year the AHB wants another security position added.

The program will be directed by Burton A. Dudding, professor and chairman of pediatrics at the Med Center. Robert G. Pierleonii, associate professor of health sciences education will serve as assistant director.
Rodent cuts towns' power
MANHATTAN (AP) - Electrical power has been restored to Manhattan and seven neighboring communities, after a squirrel bit out a substation early yesterday morning.
About 15,300 customers were without power for 30 minutes and another,1,700 residents were in the dark for about 45 minutes. The east Manhattan station about 7:30 a.m.
and a substitution on the west side of town would usually take over the load, but it was

The other affected towns were St. George, Theobald and Oyster Bay. Riley, Leonardville, Randolph and Orianna.
The electricity also went in out of most Great Bend later in the morning for 15 minutes. Officials of the Western Power Co. said a safety device that was accidentally set off during maintenance work caused the power failure.

The increased funds collected will be applied to the salary of a third staff position.
JESS PAIL, Association of University Residence Hills president, said he agreed with the need for more security but said that other alternatives should be considered. He voiced concern that many residents needing housing could not afford the $4 a day cost.
Paul said one alternative would be to divide the work of the third staff position among the residents staying in the halls over the vacation.
Eversole said it would be hard to expect
someone to do a good job when they would not be reimbursed for their work.
Swam Jiewei, assistant resident director of Templin Hall, said he was concerned that the short notice given residents about the house housing over the holidays. He said residents at Templin had assumed that the cost and minimum occupancy requirement would be same as last year. Only 19 Templin residents are up to stay the holiday's last year.
Eversole said that the work on the changes began two to three weeks ago.
