CORRECTION
A caption accompanying the article called "Bailey Hall's history is full of achievements" in Friday's Kansan was incorrect. Although Professor E.H.S. Bailey invented the Rock Chalk Chant, pictured is Professor Hamilton P, Cady, who discovered with Professor David Ford McFarland that helium was a component in natural gas.

Unusual requests made by student at KJHK
A KU student walked into a campus radio station with some unusual requests this weekend.
The KU Public Safety Office was dispatched at 9:23 p.m. Sunday evening to KJHK, off 11th Street near West Campus Road, where a student had entered the building and asked to make a public address. According to a police report, the disc jockey told him he couldn't do that, but the student stayed, saying he was looking for a screwdriver.
When questioned by police,
the student said he had come to the
station to make a public address to the chancellor and his professors regarding his grades and graduation. He said he needed the screwdriver to remove an FCC license from the wall, because it belonged to him and he needed it.
According to the police report, the student said that he had not been drinking or taking drugs but that he had been treated in the past for manic depression, sociopathic disorder, major depression and bi-polar disorder.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the student was not violent or threatening and that he was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he agreed to meet with mental health screeners.
Former student arrested for trespassing at Oliver
The third time was a charm for one former KU student-trespasser last weekend — until he was arrested.
After being denied entry into Oliver Hall twice between 5:20 and 6:39 a.m. Sunday morning, a 19-year-old former resident, who had been banned from the hall for behavioral problems in the fall, finally made it inside by climbing up to a third-floor edge and pushing in a window screen.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said the man, who may have been intoxicated, then tried to get upstairs via a stainwell, but was caught again.
According to a police report, the suspect was "feigning" sleep in a fifth-floor room when officers found him.
The man was arrested for criminal trespassing and taken to Douglas County Jail. He remained in custody yesterday.
LAWRENCE
Student's wallet stolen by strangers in car
Sara Shepherd
A 22-year-old male KU student learned the dangers of riding with strangers when two men robbed him
early Friday morning.
Det. John Lewis of the Lawrence Police Department said the victim left a fraternity house and was heading south on Tennessee Street when a vehicle pulled up at 17th and Tennessee streets.
The victim got in the car with the two men, and they drove for about half an hour to find a party. At about 5:45 a.m. Friday, they stopped at a house in the 1000 block of Mississippi Street where some acquaintances of the victim lived. The victim left the car and knocked on the front door.
Lewis said that when he turned to walk back to the car, the two men from the car jumped him. The victim said the suspects started hitting him and knocked him to the ground. They stole his wallet and his baseball cap.
The victim was not seriously injured.
Police are looking for the suspects.
KU student battered after shunning advances
A female KU student was battered Thursday night in a parking lot behind Naismith Hall, Lawrence police said.
Det. John Lewis of the Lawrence Police Department said the 19-year victim had been drinking at a friend's house in the 1800 block of Arkansas Street when a male at the house tried to make sexual advances toward her. She left the house.
She said the man followed her as she tried to walk home to Naismith Hall. The suspect threw a beer on the victim, and she responded by slapping him, Lewis said. The suspect then punched the victim in the face, knocking her to the ground.
The victim was not seriously injured. Police have the name of a suspect, Lewis said, but they had not made contact with him.
Employee shot with BB outside of Naismith Hall
An employee at Naismith Hall was shot in the calf with a BB while standing in the Naismith Hall parking lot Thursday afternoon.
Det. John Lewis of the Lawrence Police Department said the 43-year-old man was standing in a parking lot east of Naimshi Mall when he heard a pop and felt a sting on the inside of his left calf. The victim determined he'd been shot with a BB gun.
Lewis said the victim looked toward the building but could not determine where the shooter might have been. Lewis said police found holes in several window screens in the building and had a suspect.
The victim was not seriously injured.
