starting next week the Campanile will undergo construction that will likely last until mid-summer.

Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel's family consists of his wife, Nechama, and his seven children. He has four daughters and three sons, who range in age from 4 months old to 9 years old.
Campanile holds a special place in the hearts of KU students, especially those graduating.
"I've never walked straight through the Campanile," said Sean Marlow, a junior from Overland Park. "I've always
Two months later, the students who lived on the other side of the duplex moved out and the Tiechtels leased the other side. The Chabad Center's popularity grew, and in 2008 the family purchased the property.
The Chabad Center, 1201 W. 19th St., offers Jewish students Shabbat dinner every week. At the first dinner in March 2006, the Tiechtels welcomed just a handful; now, an average of 50 to 80 students attend each week.
"The only mistake we made is that we underestimated the potential for success," he said.
His family has grown as well; he is a proud father of four daughters and three sons, ranging in age from 4 months to 9 years. He also calls himself a "proud Jewhawk."
Tiechtel said his daily schedule varies, which he likes. Some days he visits hospitals and prisons, and he is in charge of fundraising for the Chabad Center. He often talks to concerned parents of students at the University. He frequently meets with students for personal talks or to plan events, which is a major part of the Chabad Center's purpose.
"The biggest obstacle for growth for college students today is stigma, and we are here to rewrite the experience," he said.
Despite his honest smile, life is not always easy for Tiechtel and his
Tiechtel said no matter what his schedule holds, he aims to do three things each day: make time to pray three times, have a personal interaction with a student and do something outside his comfort zone.
extended family. In 2008, he lost a fellow rabbi and childhood friend from his neighborhood in Brooklyn. The friend and his wife were killed in a terrorist attack at their Chabad house in Mumbai, India.
Last April, a shooting at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park shook the Jewish community. "The J," as its attendees call it, is
where three of Tiechtel's children attend school.
Tiechtel said in times of challenge, what drives you will determine how you move forward.
"The only way we were able to overcome that hardship in 2008 was by remembering why we're here," Tiechtel said. "If you focus on the purpose and the mission, you win. You keep on going."
+ WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Jewish names have historically varied over the centuries and encompass many different traditions. In ancient societies, these names often held spiritual significance. It is estimated that a majority of 2,800 names found in the Torah convey a particular meaning.
In 2011, Tiechtel worked to establish Kosher Korner at Allen Fieldhouse which he said is the first kosher deli in a college athletic facility in the country.
MEANINGS OF RABBI TIECHTEL'S KIDS' NAMES:
Mendel: "Humble Man"
Mina Bracha:
"Blessing from God"
Yosef Meir:"An Increasing Shining Light"
Levi: "Attachment
Visroel: "Israel"
Sima: "Treasure"
Esther: "Hidden Inner Beauty"

er," Vitter said. "I know some individuals who eat as many as 10 in a single week. That will undoubtedly lead to poor health consequences down the road for students. Not to mention ripped jeans and broken chairs."

In 2013, the Cooking Channel featured the Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap on a bracket of the 32 best college dishes. The wrap advanced to the Elite 8 before losing to a spaghetti dish at Marquette University.

KU Dining Services announced yesterday it would no longer be serving the Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap. The wrap will be replaced with the Ultimate Vegan Wrap starting next fall.
