Red and blue chickens roost on Mount Oread
Two "chickenhawks" — live chickens dyed red and blue — were spotted on and near campus Friday morning.
"We have no idea where they came from," he said. "No one ever claimed why they did it."
Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU police department said that the dye was not permanent and that the chickens were released to good homes.
Keary said the first chicken sighting was reported at 7:38 a.m. Police discovered it roosting in a tree by Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd.
A Lawrence resident who owns other chickens took the stray chicken into custody, Keary said.
The second chicken sighting was reported at 8:43 a.m. on the west side of Wescoe Hall. Keary said the police department investigated but did not find the chicken. The police later learned that an Animal Care employee had taken the animal.
Animal Care, located in Malot Hall, normally does not take in animals. Its function is to care for animals used in research.
James Bresnahan, director of Animal Care, said that one of the employees had a farm and took the chicken out of kindness.

National sorority leaders visit University chapters
The National Panhellenic Conference Executive Committee will pay KU sororities a visit today.
The committee has never convened at a university.
The committee also plans to meet with chapter advisers and presidents and will have dinner at different chapter houses tonight.
"No one has ever thought about inviting them before," said Kristen Merchant, Lenexa junior and Panhellenic Association vice president for interfraternal affairs.
Last night, four of the five committee members attended the University's Greek Recognition Night at the Lied Center.
Today, all of them will tour the campus and
greek community with the greek programs
staff and attend a luncheon with several fac-
ulty members involved in student affairs.
At 7 tonight, the committee members will meet with sorority members at the Lied Center. There they will discuss issues brought up by the Greek community at the University.
Before the visit, each chapter was asked to submit two questions for the committee members. Merchant said the discussion would center on those questions.
Japanese Abbott Roshi to give lecture on Zen to students
Carl Kaminski
The head abbott of the Japanese monastery Tofukuji in Kyoto, Japan will speak about Zen tonight at the Spencer Museum of Art.
Fukushima Keido Rosi, who will be speaking for the 10th consecutive year at the University of Kansas, has named his speech after Zen's founder, Bothidharma. Rosi's lecture at 7 p.m. will focus on the development of Zen.
Roshi is the head Abbott at the Tofukuji monastery, one of the oldest and most prestigious Zen monastery in Japan, said John Teramot, assistant curator in charge of Artian art.
Zen is a form of Buddhism that relies on meditation practices and self-denial for enlightenment.
"He represents an important feature in Japanese culture," Teramoto said. "Through Zen we are exposed to a part of this culture."
