Student housing is paying for most of the scholarship hall lighting, Modig said. Rather than use Student Senate money, the University and student housing have paid two private contractors a total of about $111,000 to install lights.
Campus lights to be brighter, safer

were contributing.
The half-dug holes and newly-poured concrete blocks found on campus should not leave students in the dark for long.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the cost was necessary to improve lighting in the scholarship hall area.
The construction is part of a program by the administration and Student Senate to improve lighting on campus, said Jim Modig, director of design and construction management for the University.
He said the new lights would help students who live and park on Louisiana and 11th streets as well as scholarship hall residents.
Construction consists of installing lights along Jayhawk Boulevard between Watson and Fraser halls, along Sunflower Road and around the scholarship halls. The locations are the first in a list of campus areas which Student Senate's campus lighting advisory board said needed improvement.
"They have identified a prioritization of when they want the projects complete," Modig said.
1997. Modig said the total of about $100,000 per year, combined with another $100,000 pledged by KU, would pay for additional lighting in the future.
The board, created by Student Senate, has tried to make campus safer by providing more adequate lighting, said Lance Wright, Kansas City, Mo., senior and former student body vice president. He said current campus lighting was inadequate.
"You have a lot of islands of light with nothing to keep them together," said Wright, who is a former member of the board.
To accomplish this goal of a safer campus, Student Senate voted in Fall 1991 to charge each student a $2 campus lighting fee every semester until
Construction along Jayhawk Boulevard is scheduled for completion in two weeks. The scholarship hall area will have new lighting in about two months.
Modig said he wanted the lighting to be brighter and more direct than most streetlights.
"The intent is to basically upgrade the lighting, to eliminate dark spots and to allow you to see what's out there," he said.
He said other departments, such as the Parking Department and the department of student housing, also

rescue workers pull the driver of a Liberty Fruit Company, Inc. delivery truck from the wreckage. Monday morning the truck crashed into the front of a building in North Lawrence. The structure on the corner of Locust and North Third streets — the site of a part-time refinishing business — collapsed, crushing the roof of the truck cab even with the bottom of the doors, trapping John David Ray, Independence, Mo., inside for more than two hours. The man escaped with minor cuts and bruises. No one was inside of the building at the time of the accident.
Leavenworth prison fight leaves one dead, six hurt
Safe at last
The Associated Press
LEAVENWORTH — The 1,700 inmates at the maximum security U.S. Penitentiary remained confined to their cells yesterday following a disturbance that left one prisoner dead and six injured.
The dead inmate was identified as Arnulfo Rodriguez, 43, a prisoner at Leavenworth since 1981.
A prison statement did not say how Rodriguez had been injured, but said an autopsy is planned.
Two tower guards fired about 10 warning shots into the air after the disturbance broke out in the recreation ward about 2:15 p.m. Monday.
It was the second fatal disturbance at the federal prison in less than a year. No guards were hurt in Monday's disturbance, officials said.
Officers from the Leavenworth County Sheriff Department and the Kansas Highway Patrol stood by outside the prison until inmates were brought under control.
Prison spokesman Bob Askelson said the FBI and prison staff were investigating what caused the fight and how the injuries were inflicted.
