Students dig out again as more snow arrives
By CECILIA MILLS Staff Reporter
Yesterday's snowfall left students shivering in their tennis shoes for the fourth time this semester . . . and put Lawrence eight inches behind them a year, a weather forecaster said yesterday.
But Dave Lehew, forecaster for the KU Weather Service, said that although temperatures today would drop to 18 degrees, no new snow was expected.
About 22 inches of snow has fallen in
Lawrence this year, the weather service said.
The low tonight will be about 6 degrees, Lehew said, and should climb to 26 degrees tomorrow. The sky will be cloudy most of the day but might clear by afternoon.
A high of 24 degrees and a low of 17 degrees were recorded yesterday by the weather team.
Warren Sunkel, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Topeka, said winds today would be from the north at 5 to 15 degrees Celsius, making the wind chill factor about zero degrees.
The wind chill is an index of the combined effects of wind and temperature. It describes the cooling power of air on exposed skin.

SUNKEL SAID THE snowstorm was
caused by a low pressure system over southeast New Mexico.
Sunkel said that the cloud front that dumped the snow on Lawrence was not moving now, but might move during the day.
hard to determine when it's going to move.
Jennifer Turgeon, Clayton, Mo., sophomore, said she'd had enough of winter yesterday.
"I don't like winter," she said. "It stinks.
"Those stairs are so slippery. I just fell and I've seen about four people fall."
"it's a tricky situation," he said. "it's a stationary front, overhead and it's big enough to cut into the face."
But not all students objected to the snow. For Matt Coolidge, Minot, N.D., sophomore, the snow reminded him of his home 90 miles south of Canada.
"It's kind of nice," he said. "You can get and make snowmen and have snowball
ONE STUDENT SAID he despised having to face the cold in the morning. But Ron Horton, Overland Park junior, also said that after living in Youngstown, Ohio, for five years, he wasn't really bothered by Kansas' cold and snow.
'It was worse back there,' he said. Louise Cada, Siola, McDonnell, said she said the problems for her.
Spring semester finds roommates in demand
"It's beautiful," she said. "I enjoy walking on the snow and slipping once in a while.

HE SAID HE was looking for a roommate,
preferably female, to share his one-bedroom
apartment at Park-25 Apartments, 2401 W.
29th St.
For a mild-mannered, non-smoker who can tolerate a hyperactive cat, one student is prepared to share his apartment and split the rent.
Emrick said he preferred females because they were usually more well-behaved. The arrangement would be "strictly platinic," he said, and he would sleep in the living room.
Ron Emrick, Mission freshman, like
dozens of other students is looking for a
room.
Yesterday, 17 notices for roommates were posted outside the office of residential programs, and numerous notices have been placed in campuses and campus, and placed in local newspapers.
"Financially, it's kind of hard to get by when you have to pay by yourself." Enrick said. "I'll just have to cut out a few things and plug on cable TV and back on entertainment."
Emrick, who posted a notice outside the office of residential programs last week, said he hadn't received any phone calls about the apartment.
Paige Kruse, Hot Springs, Ark., junior, was left short of roommates this semester when two of her roommates got married between semesters.
Kruepe said she had found one replacement roommate for her two-bedroom apartment at West Hills Apartments, 1012 Erym Road, but she said she was still searching for another.
"WE ASSUME WE probably won't find
them in the museum. We'll go to
exhibit with just the three of us." Kraeve said.
Kim McCarthy, Mission junior, knows the problem of searching for a roommate for the spring semester.
Krusse said she and her roommates hadn't received any phone calls in response to their newspaper ads and posted notices.
Her former roommate was accepted to graduate school last month, McCarthy said, so she is searching for someone to split costs. The couple bought a 600-acre Wood Gardens Apartments, 1846 Tennessee St., in
"Second semester it's harder to find a roommate; everyone is settled from last semester." McCarthy said. "It's frustrating because no one is ready to move."
Tom Galyardt, an owner of Kaw Valley Management Inc., 901 Kentucky St., said every semester a few students who moved out caused lease problems.
KAW VALLEY, MANAGERS about 576 apartments in Lawerence, with more than 75 percent of the tenants KU students, Galyardt said.
Galyardt said students who broke leaves violated their contracts and were subject to lawsuits.
Galyard said one problem some college students had was realizing that a lease was a contract not related to the University of Kansas.
Tenants are jointly and separately liable for the lease, but Kaw Valley will reshow and sell the lease.

"IF THEY FLUNK out, they think they're flunked out of their lease as well and that that's a fair reason to leave their contract," Galyardd said.
Heather Anderson, Lawrence sophomore, and McM henry, Clyde junior, practice their musical routine for Rock Chalk Revue. The two rehearsed last night in Hoch Auditorium. Rock Chalk Revue will run Feb. 14-16 and will benefit the Lawrence chapter of the United Way.
Rock Chalk Revue returns with Black Tie and Tales
By PEGGY HELSEL Staff Reporter
The curtain will rise next week on the return of a 30-year-old University of Kansas tradition.
The Rock Chalk Revue is back and better than ever, Dave Smith, executive director, said. The campus variety show, sponsored by the Board of Class Officers, returns this year with its original name after a two-year run as Encore.
The show runs Feb. 14-16 in Hoch
Auditorium. All performances start at 7:30
Tickets are on sale at the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union, Mister Guy, 920 Massachusetts St., or from any of the participating groups. Tickets cost $3 for the Feb. 14 show. $4 for the Feb. 15 show and $6 for the Feb. 16 show.
Rock Chalk has five acts, each performed by a fraternity and sorority. The theme of this year's show is "Black Tie and Tales."
ALTHOUGH ANY CAMPUS living organization may enter the show, the production has been dominated by greek houses, Smith said. Only one non-greek house, Smith entered a script this year. The hall's script was not chosen to be one of the acts.
Between each act will be a song and舞 by the In Between Act performers.
The IBAs performed Friday before 700 people at a dinner given by the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas, Gov. John Carlin, Sen. Robert Dole, and Elizabeth Dole, secretary of transportation, were among those at the dinner.
The group will perform Saturday during the KU Memorial Stats basketball game.
THE GROUPS PARTICIPATING in the revue are Alpha Kappa Lambda and Alpha Omicron Pi; Alpha Tau Omega and Alpha Gamma Delta; Beta Theta Pi and Pi Beta Phi; Delta Upsilon and Gamma Phi Beta; and Sigma Nu and Kappa Alpha Theta.
The AKLS and AOPis will perform a skit titled "The Good Gatsee and The Ties That Bind," about a killer bee struggling with the age-old moral dilemma — to be a good bee or a bad bee, fighting off the seductive Sleaze Bees in the process.
The ATO's and AGD's skit, "A Night in Shining Amour," involves a girl who wishes on a star for the ever-elusive perfect guy, and gets whisked off to the out-of this world Fred Astar Charm School.
In their version of "The King and I," the Betas and Pi Phis present "A Thai'm For Change," a skit about an exchange student trying to modernize the Land of Thai, and bringing about this change with the help of the king's daughter.
The whimsically titled "A Tale of Two Kitties," the DU's and Gamma Pi's skit, finds a good-hearted Cat U professor and his daughter attempting to find a cure for catnapping but encountering the evil Pink Lynx.
In the skit by the Sigma Nus and Theta,
"Dischord and Datchord," the her has 24
to write the perfect song, aided by a
chorus of dancing musical notes.
Awards will be presented after the Feb. 16 performance for best overall production, best performer, script, original music and production number Awards of costumes and use of costumes and to the group that raises the most money through ticket sales.
Fifty percent of the money made will go to the Lawrence chapter of the United Way. Last year Encore raised $9,500 for charity, Smith said.
Asbestos fact-finding panel to begin inquiry
By CINDY McCURRY Staff Reporter
A fact-finding panel on Thursday will begin investigating complaints that the University of Kansas did not follow federal guidelines for asbestos removal, the chairman of the panel said yesterday.
The three-member panel from the Kansas Department of Human Resources will meet with Rodger Oroke. University director of support services, and Richard Mann, University director of institutional research, to discuss how and where to conduct the investigation, said Paul K. Dickhoff Jr., the chairman.
"That will be our first contact with the University," Dickhoff said. "We want to make sure that we don't interrupt their operations any more than we have to."
Oracle said, "We want to get the ground laid out to hear what they are proposing."
The committee will be investigating complaints from employees of the department and federal guardians were not followed when a water was removed from a KU power plant.
FEDERAL GUIDELINES REQUIRE special equipment and safety procedures for asbestos removal. Asbestos is a fireproofing material suspected of causing cancer.
The two-year removal of the asbestos-laden炉器 ended in mid-December, Oroke said. The boiler had not been used in 25 years, he said.
In January, Chancellor Gene A. Budig accepted a proposal from the Department of Human Resources to form the fact-finding panel. The department's proposal came in response to Budig's request for an investigation after the facilities operations department complained about the procedures used in removing the boiler.
The proposal gives the panel access to all information, records and files concerning the asbestos removal, Dickhoff said. Panel members also will be allowed to conduct
confidential interviews with the facilities operations employees who were involved in
He said the details of the investigation, such as a place to conduct interviews, telephone and copy services and secretarial assistance, would be decided this week.
"We really don't know at this point what we need to do to make a rational decision," Dickie said.
Dickhoff said the findings of the panel would be kcpt confidential until he turned them over to Larry E. Wolgast, secretary of the Department of Human Resources. Then Wolgast and Budig will decide what information will be released, he said.
