Fire in Templin Hall Causes Evacuation
A fire caused by a smoldering mattress in a room on the second floor of Templin Hall necessitated the evacuation of the building about 8 this morning.
The Lawrence Fire Department said the fire was reported at 8:03. It took about 20 minutes to put out the flames.
Mike Robson, Wichita freshman, in whose room the fire occured, said he was on his way down to breakfast when he heard the fire alarm. Someone told him that it was his room. He went back up to the room to find it filled with smoke.
Robson said he thought he had a cigarette, but was sure he did not leave it near the bed. He said it was possible the ash had fallen off of the cigarette into the bed.
Robson's room and the rest of the wing of the second floor were filled
Registrar Pressures Students For Photos
James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, yesterday moved to apply pressure to students who have not complied with his office's request to report to the Photo Bureau to be photographed for school records.
In a form letter to about 500 students, Hitt announced that if they failed to be photographed—as requested originally in a letter of November 12—they would not be allowed to register for the spring semester.
For the convenience of the students, Hitt asked that they appear before final week begins. They are requested to bring their KU-ID with them.
The Photo Bureau is in the subbasement of Watson Library.
The trouble started when a faulty camera muffled the identification pictures of about 1,000 new students.
with smoke. The fire department evacuated the entire building until the flames were out.
The damage was only to the mattress of the bed. The resident director of Templin Hall, Mrs. James F. Olsen, said there was probably some smoke damage since the smoke always rises to the upper floors.
