ELDRIDGE: Historic look mixed with new
senior meteorologist, KUJH-TV
He made a few phone calls inquiring about the ownership and three months later was at the auction for the hotel with other investors he met. Douglass and the other investors with him eventually outbid a trio of local investors.
"I've come back four to five times a year," said Douglass. "I really love the University and the town. Lawrence was great to me when I was here."
David Longhurst, hotel interim manager, said the hotel, restaurant and bar would all be renovated. The renovations will not destroy the building's historic look, he said. Douglass said he enjoyed the history of the hotel and hoped to attract more customers.
The Eldridge tentatively plans to reopen in May 2005, Longhurst said, with the bar and restaurant opening at the same time.
The hotel's 48 suites will have new carpeting, beds and fully refurbished bathrooms. Longhurst said. The rates for the old rooms were $99 to $139. Douglass said although the new rates were not set, the rates would be comparable.
The hotel will renovate the Jayhawker bar into a bar and grille, expanding the seating from around 50 to 80.
The restaurant will not have more seating but the management will renovate the floor and furnishings while retaining the historic look of the establishment. Douglass said.
The menu also is not set, but Douglass and Longhurst said the items would accommodate a variety of tastes. The management plans for the new renovations and menu to bring in a diverse clientele.
"If someone wants a $25 steak they can get it," Douglass said. "If you want a hamburger, you can get it."
The restaurant plans to also host and offer a wide range of events, he said. The management wants to host KU athletics department fundraisers, charity events and other events needing a ballroom-type setting.

Insurgent campaign against Iraqi election intensifies
As part of an intensifying campaign of intimidation, an Al Qaeda affiliate led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi posted a videotape on the Internet showing the murder of a candidate from the party of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Insurgents stepped up attacks Thursday against polling centers across Iraq, killing at least a dozen people, including a U.S. Marine, in the rebel campaign to frighten Iraqis away from participating in this weekend's election.
The tape included a warning to Allawi personally: "You traitor, wait for the angel of death."
To protect voters on Sunday, hundreds of American soldiers began moving out of their garrison on the western edge of Baghdad to take up positions at smaller bases throughout the city to respond more quickly to any election day attacks.
Sunni Muslim insurgents have threatened to disrupt the balloting, when Iraqis choose a National
Assembly and governing councils. Voters in the Kurdish self-governing area of the north will select a new regional parliament.

Anniversary of Holocaust liberation remembered
BRZEZINKA, Poland --- Snowflakes swirled around the crematoriums and barbed wire of Auschwitz, and a shrill train whistle pierced the silence as frail survivors and humbled world leaders remembered the victims of the Holocaust on Thursday, the 60th
anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp.
Candles flickered in the darkening winter gloom of the sprawling site, which Israeli President Moshe Katsav called "the capital of the kingdom of death."
During World War II, 1.5 million people — mostly Jews — were killed at the site. The haunting commemoration was held at the place where new arrivals stumbled out of cattle cars and were met by Nazi doctors who chose a few to be worked to death while the rest were sent immediately to gas chambers.
