Campus at night can be frightful
By Frank McCleary Kansan staff writer
Parking on campus at night can be a frustrating journey for many students and faculty.
But for some people, parking is more than just frustrating. It is a matter of personal safety.
Those who work or study on campus at night often find no parking along Jayhawk Boulevard, which means a trek from parking lots near Robinson Center, Memorial Stadium or elsewhere.
But it is the trip back to their cars, well after dark, that worries some.
Lisa Golzar, Tulsa, Okla., senior, said she was uncomfortable when she could not park on the boulevard.
Pete Johnsen, professor of educational psychology and research, said several of his female co-workers had expressed concern about not being able to find a spot to park and having to walk up to Bailey in the dark.
Although some students are concerned about walking alone, the KU police department has not received any reports of assault, harassment or people being followed on campus since the beginning of the school year, Sgt. Rose Rozmiarek said.
Rozmiraek said students should walk in groups if they do not feel safe by themselves.
If a student feels threatened while on campus, he or she can go to the KU police department in Carruth-O'Leary Hall, she said.
There are 28 emergency phones located across campus, both indoors and outdoors, for those who cannot make it to the police department. These phones connect directly to the KU police. The student either has to push a button or take the phone off the hook, depending on the

phone, and a police officer will respond to the phone's location.
He said parking close to Watson was not much of a problem early in the semester, but it got worse later on, especially during finals.
Mallard said that he felt safe walking alone on campus at night but that he still thought about what could happen.
"It is not an enjoyable thing to be walking behind these buildings after midnight," he said. "Every once in a while you find yourself looking over your shoulder."
Stefanie Umphenour, Blue Springs. Mo., senior, said being on campus alone at night was a concern for every woman.
"It is something women have to deal with," she said. "I have never been followed or harassed, but that does not make feel me safe."
Charlene Muehlenhard, associate professor of psychology and women's studies and faculty adviser for Students Against Violence Against Womyn, said women tend to be more afraid than men of being by themselves at night.
"Some women are afraid to take night classes because of being out at night," she said.
Not all students are afraid. Corey Priesman, Lincoln, Neb., junior, said he had no concerns about his safety on campus after dark.
"I never give a second thought about anything happening to me," he said.
But April Malicke, Leavenworth freshman, said she carried Mace on campus just to be safe. "Students should be cautious," she said.
Rebecca Sapinski, Milwaukee sophomore, said that she felt safe walking on campus but that she also took precautions.
Council lifts parking restrictions
"I always go with a buddy just to be safe," she said.
Kansan staff report
Students may find parking on campus next fall a little bit easier after 5 p.m.
On Thursday, University Council passed a proposal that will remove the evening restriction on almost 20 spaces in Lot 3, which is between Strong Hall and Bailey Hall. Now, all 43 spaces in the lot are reserved for blue permits from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Hob Hartington, associate professor of educational psychology and research, said he sympathized with students, but faculty should have preference because they spend more time at KU.
of University Council, said it would not be an inconvenience for faculty.
Lisa Golzar, Tulsa, Okla., senior and member
"You are not taking spaces from faculty," she said. "You are opening them up to students."
The proposal, submitted by the parking board, had requested releasing the restrictions on all 43 places. The council amended the proposal to include about 20. Four places underneath Spencer Research Library will be rezoned for blue permits. Now, they are reserved for the the administration.
The council also passed an amended proposal that will extend the closed-campus hours, starting next fall, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., instead of 7:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
'Myths in Science' designed for non-scientific students
By Susan White Kansan staff writer
KU students who thought they could never grasp anything related to science are getting the opportunity to try this semester in a language they can understand.
A number of faculty members over the past several years have discussed a problem that has generated among college students, Brown said.
Jack Brown, professor of microbiology, said Myths in Science was a course for people who had little or no knowledge about science and wanted to improve that knowledge.
Bob Goldstein, professor of geology, speaks about nuclear waste and its proper disposal from a geological point of view. Goldstein is one of 10 professors who teaches a science class for people with little or no knowledge about the subject.
"There is talk about a basic deficit in science knowledge," he said.
Brown said the goal of the class was to take individuals in a university setting and introduce them to all the areas of the science field.
The class will cover scientific concepts from the departments of chemistry, microbiology, geology, physics, astronomy and systematics and ecology.
"We wanted to generate a course for people to get them interested in science and to help them get a better handle on it," he said.
Larry McKenna, assistant professor of geology, said that 10 professors teaching one class gave the students a full range of people with varying ideas and teaching methods.
"The class is taught by faculty members who all feel strongly about what they are teaching." he said.
Brown said that the professors hoped that as the class progressed, the students would feel that they could ask any questions without other students or the faculty making fun of them.
Bob Goldstein, associate professor of geology said that by the end of the course, the faculty wanted the students to have a sound base of science.
"We just want them to be able to think scientifically," he said.
Chris Murray, Great Bend junior, said he needed another class, so he attended the science class the first day to see what it was like. He enjoyed the class, so he signed up for it.
"They told us that the class was supposed to be for scientifically illiterate peo-
ple," he said. "They break down information for you and define words like DNA. There are also 10 professors. I like having different people all the time."
Boachim Boll, an exchange student from Denmark, said he took the class because it sounded interesting.
"It's not a traditional learning style," he said. "There are several professors in several areas."
Kent Taylor, Barrington, Ill., junior, said he liked having an overview of everything scientific.
"It's a lot easier to understand," he said.
Company steps up to environmental challenge turning trash into shoes
By Angelina Lopez

Seat cushions, polystyrene cups, diapers and wine corks have much in common.
All these items are difficult for Mother Nature to break down. They all occupy space in land fills. They also are ingredients for Deja shoes, the first and only shoes made almost entirely of recycled materials, said B.J. Schmitzer, a representative of Decia Inc.
The advantage of these shoes is that recyclers get to see the end products of their recycling efforts, said Sue Dalton, co-owner of Simple Goods General Store, 735 Massachusetts, which is one of several stores in Lawrence that sells Deja shoes. Everything from milk jugs to magazines to coffee filters goes into these shoes.
"These shoes are so popular that I'm sure Nike and Reebok will soon come out with shoes made from recycled materials," Kerry Altenbernd, another co-owner of Simple Goods General Store said. "We've sold a lot of shoes for not being a shoe store."
George Paley, owner of Natural Way Natural Fiber Clothing, 820 Massachusetts, said that customers bought Deja shoes because the shoes were reasonably priced, and they made a statement about a person's environmental consciousness.
"Julie believed recycled materials would be put to good use in making footwear because everyone wears shoes and because so many materials go into making a shoe," she said.
Deja Inc. was founded by Julie Lewis, a West Coast entrepreneur who wanted to combine business ideas with environmentalism, Schmeltzersaid.
The boxes Deja shoes are sold in are made from 100 percent recycled cardboard and are reversible with a decorative design inside. Schmeltzer said. If people choose not to recycle the box, the design may inspire them to keep it for themselves or use it as a gift box, she said.
"Concern for the environment is not just a gimmick with these people," Altenbernd said. "They really mean it."
Christine Blanchard, Lawrence junior, said that the most important point of a shoe had not been forgotten in Dela shoes—they are comfortable.
Deja shoes' prices and styles range from $47 for a soft cotton sandal to $70 for a rough terrain shoe. Footprints, 1339 Massachusetts, also carries Deja shoes.
"They're very attractive, and they seem more flexible and softer than normal shoes," she said.
