Leaks Underneath Battenfeld Lawn Ruining Grass, Walks to Classes
By CRAIG STOCK
Kansas Staff Reporter
"It sure wakes you up on the way to camp in the morning," a student at Boulder High School said.
The leaks also send up plumes of steam from the lawn and parking lot of Pearson Scholarship Hall across the street from Battenfield. A strong, unpleasant odor accompanies the leaks, and a small stream of water flows from a hole in front of Battenfield.
Leaks from steam pipes under the front lawn of Battelfield Scholarship Hall for the past three months have made the lawn unstable. The school responds to several Battelfield residents.
Several residents of Battenfeld and Pearson said yesterday that the stream was too shallow for them to be in their fenfield's proctor, Kip Grosshans, Parsons senior, said he had been told by Buildings and Grounds (BBG) that the smell was from rotting organisms in the soil of the

Joe Waxman, Overland Park sophomore, said residents on the east side of Battenfield never opened their windows because of the stench.
Grosshans said hall residents had complained to KKK and the housing main office for further action.
Grosshans said the steam from the leaks condensed on cars in the parking lot and emitted heat.
He said the heat from the pipes had killed most of the grass in the field and flattened it. He also said that the grass had popped up.
"About every week we get a fresh hole," waxman said if repeated efforts by BG to make his job easier.

Residents of Battenfeld said they had adapted to the steam and stench and they planned to place signs around their lawn today.
They said one sign would warn of the "Alumni Place Sanitary Landfill" and that another would read "You are now entering the second 'Gates of Hell.'"

Women's Athletics Funding Considered
A resolution call for reinstatement of women's intercollegiate athletics in the University of Kansas budget will be convened by Student Senate at its meeting tomorrow night.
Current Styles
Ed Rolfs, Junction City junior and sponsor of the resolution, said yesterday that he and other student representatives had talked with State Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence, about the possibility of funding women's athletics through the state budget.
"He said he thought getting this put back into the University budget would not be too difficult if we had student support," Rolfs said.
Rolfs said it might be too late to influence legislature, unless the resolution was done.
If the resolution is passed, the senate will form a committee of students to lobby at the state legislature for the inclusion of women's athletics in the budget.
He said the group hoped to receive an allocation of $20,000 from the legislature, compared with the $9,000 it is now receiving.

Petition Calls for Creation Of Impeachment Procedure
A petition to create a method of impeaching student body presidents and vice presidents was recommended favorably to the Student Senate by the senate's Rights, Responsibilities and Privileges Committee last night.
Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, who sponsored the petition, said he wrote it in response to action taken concerned Student Organizations last spring.
That group tried to impach the entire senate during a disagreement over the budget and passed the budgetity groups, but found there was no method for impeachment by the University Codes.
Buckley said he doubted whether the
impeachment process would ever be used. But he said, "I'm sure James Madison was a bit obsessed."
In other action the committee:
- Voted to recommend favorably to the senate a petition to extend the terms of student members of SenEx and University Council until after commencement, to coincide with the date of University Council elections.
- Voted to recommend favorably to the senate a bill to allow University organizations to keep records of students' race intended to help Affirmative Action.
