As manager of the information counter at the Kansas Union for 11 years, Helen Harrell has seen her share of lost books, wallets and keys.
4. The information counter at the union is just one place KU students can go to look for a lost item or hand in a found one. Many buildings on campus have their own lost and found departments. The main lost and found department is at the KU police station in Carruth O'Leary.
"Besides commonly misplaced items, Harrell said, she has also seen her share of very honest people.
On Monday, someone turned in a container with cash inside but with no ID. Harrell said she was still looking for the owner.
Ten years ago, a KU student named Mary returned a coin押金 with $600 in it. Harrall said. The owner of the purse was identified a few days later.
"But about 3 months later, someone arrived in a rudy ring." she said. "Iwaswaaa." He did it.
iewelrvring."
It belonged to Mary.
"I said to her, 'I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have a lost and found item for.' " Harrell said. "She said to me, 'I guess I got paid back, didn't 1?" Harrell said she tried to track down the owner of any item turned in at the counter.
Scott Martin, KU police storekeeper and manager of the lost and found department, said police also try to contact owners of lost items.
"If no identification is available but the item would be valuable to someone, it stays here for quite a while," he said. "Something like a single shoe we keep for a couple days." Attached to each item are detailed descriptions of where the item was found and when it was handed in. Another copy of the card is kept in a file so Martin can find the item easily when possible owners make inquiries.
items or money not claimed after 6 months to a year go to charity or are thrown away. Harell sells unclaimed books to a bookstore. Unclaimed keys are given to a locksmith to be melted down.
Both Martin and Harrell said any
Martin said the staff at most campus buildings send valuable lost items to his department.
Workers for facilities operations turn in any items they find to the police, said Bob Porter, associate director of facilities operations.
Melissa Irwin, iola senior, works at the circulation desk at Watson Library. She said students left behind many different things after nights of studying.
"Nothing weird, though," she said.
"Nobody's left behind their kid or anything."
"But the other day we were all trying on these John Lennon glasses with blue lenses somebody left behind," she said.
Martin said students who need to find or turn in an item should contact KU police.
Students move up Senate's ladder
By Donella Hearne Kansan staff writer
About a year ago. Chad Browning joined the Student Senate finance committee.
Now he holds a position in the Student Senate as the administrative assistant to the treasurer.
About two years ago, Travis Harrod joined the Student Rights committee. He is now the Student Executive Committee chairperson.
Harrod said that many students start out on committees and move on to be senators or even executives in the Student Senate. Anyone can join some committees, even those who are not sure of what Student Senate is all about.
"I didn't understand what it was all about, but I was curious," Harrod said. "I developed a burning desire to understand the Student Senate process."
Browning said serving on a committee was an eye-opening experience.
"I turned around to find out Student Senate has more to do with what goes on than most people think," he said.
The Student Senate has five standing committees on which any student can serve. The committees are Arts and Events, Finance, Multicultural Affairs, Student Rights and University Affairs.
The committees discuss proposals before sending them to the Student Senate for consideration.
John Shoemaker, student body president, said there was a place for every student who wanted to get involved with student government.
"Any student who applies for one of the five standing committees will be placed on one of the five," he said.
Besides committees, students can also apply for positions on Student Senate boards. Board members are appointed by the student body president with approval of the Student Senate. Boards include the Transportation Board, which oversees programs such as KU on Wheels and Safe Ride, and the Recreation Services Advisory Board, which is responsible for administration of Recreation Services and all sports clubs.
