Student to appear in court following fire-alarm stunt
A Jayhawkower Towers resident will be arraigned Feb. 18 in Lawrence Municipal Court for cutting the wiring of a fire alarm Jan. 10 in a Tower A room.
On Jan. 23, the student was served a notice to appear in court. KU police said
The student admitted to cutting the wire, which caused a fuse to blow and deactivated the alarm system in 44 rooms. The damage was estimated at $145. KU police said.
Michael Stifter, the towers' complex director, said that the student would face additional penalties from the Department of Student Housing but that these had not been determined.
Phil Garito, assistant director of housing maintenance, said the department fixed the alarms as soon as it became aware of the damage. He said that the situation could have been dangerous if there had been a fire.
Garito said a warning light on a panel behind the desk assistants' counter indicated a problem with the system.
Legislation could extend tuition break for Kansans
Kansan residents who move out of the state and return within 12 months will qualify for in-state tuition under legislation approved yesterday by the Kansas Senate Education Committee.
Current law strips former Kansans of residency six months after they leave the state.
Steve Jordan, executive director of the Board of Regents, told the committee that it took 12 months to establish residency in most states.
Jordan also said the broader definition of residency would cost the state about $90,000.
"This change will affect relatively few students," he said.
The Board of Regents approved the change in December.
Having passed committee, the bill will go to the Senate floor.
The Education Committee also approved yesterday Governor Bill Graves' reappointment of Murray Lull to the Board of Regents.
Board of Regents would change under new plans
The Kansas House committee charged with restructuring governance of higher education has narrowed it down to two plans.
Both plans feature a super board that would govern all post-secondary public institutions. One plan preserves the Board of Regents and gives the super board power to coordinate curriculum among the Regents, community colleges and vocational-technical schools.
The second plan abolishes the Regents, creating a super board called the Board of Curators to govern all of higher education in Kansas.
Both plans bring Washburn University into the state governance system.
Rep. David Adkins, R-Leawood, and chairman of the Select Committee on Higher Education, said the committee had not decided on a plan.
"There is no consensus at this point." he said. "But we're certainly making progress in that we've seen and heard a lot of information."
The select committee submitted the second plan to a shadow committee made up
of representatives of the Board of Regents. The shadow committee reviewed the plan yesterday and provided feedback to the select committee last night.
Football player accepts plea bargain during trial
University of Kansas football player Jason Gulley accepted a plea bargain by entering a guilty plea to one count of battery Friday afternoon at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St
Gulley also pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful assembly. When five or more people engage in disorderly conduct, it is considered unlawful assembly, said Jerry Little, assistant district attorney. Both charges stem from a Sept. 13, 1997, fight in front of Jayhawker Towers in which Gulley was involved.
Gulley: Pleads guilty to one count of battery.
Gulley's sentencing will be known by March 11. Little said that Judge Paula Martin was beginning the pre-sentencing investigation, which would help determine Gulley's sentence.
