Guidelines set for 'forge-proof' bus pass
By PHIL ENGLISH Staff Reporter
sity of Kansas. Twenty-four students accused of forgery will appear later this month before a panel consisting of three members of the KU Judiciary Board and one member of the Transportation Board.
The Student Senate Transportation Board last night agreed on guidelines for companies to make "forge-proof" bus pass stickers for the fall semester. The board will open bidding tomorrow to any company that can meet the specifications.
The boars's action was prompted by recent bus pass forgery at the Univer-
Transportation Secretary Mark Sump said that the board set the specifications after contacting one of its staff in Wichita and another in Arkansas.
THE BOARD DECIDED that the stickers, to meet its specifications, would have to have weather-proof backings, be metallic, contain the KU On Wheels design, be $2\frac{1}{2}$ by $1\frac{1}{2}$ centimeters in size and be consecutive.
tively numbered for identification purposes.
Both companies presented different designs for stickers that would meet the board's standard of being "forgeerable" and could cost up to 5 cents to manufacture.
In other action, the board heard a
proposal from Reza Zoughi, a
graduate student, would open a bus
in Iraq. West Coast, Georgia.
"FOR YEARS THE board has made a minimal effort to even look into the problem on West Campus," he said. "We pleaded with them last year to give us just one bus, and they couldn't even do that."
Zoishi said that an increase in the amount of classes taught in Moore and Nichols Halls made a new bus route a necessity.
Police think threats were made by testy students
By AMY BALDING Staff Reporter
Mix cabin fever with finals week, add a dash of desperation and you might just end up with a bomb threat.
The combination may sound a little bizarre, but that's what KU police think may have happened during final exams last semester.
Students with sweaty palms, despite frigid temperatures, were scurrying to
various final exams on the evening of Dec. 13.
A few minutes before 7 p.m., the dispatcher at the KU Police Department received a bomb threat, Detective Mike Riner said.
"We are the SST," the voice on the telephone said. "There are three bombs planted in Hoch Auditorium."
RINER SAID THAT the Lawrence Police Department, whose phone system has instant tracing capabilities, had received a similar call. The call was
traced to a pay telephone in the basement of Strong Hall,
The police dusted the pay point the fingerprints and asked the janitor working in the building whether he had noticed any unusual activity.
Riner said that the janitor had noticed three girls hovering near the pay phone and that the tests revealed several fingerprints.
Meanwhile, at Hoch Auditorium where a Spanish and Portuguese final was scheduled, Riner said, KU police notified an instructor of the phone call.
THE PROFESSOR announced that a bomb threat had been made and instructed the students to pack up their possessions and go to Wescoe Hall, where they would proceed to take the final exam.
Apparently, Riner said, several students did not take the exam that night. He also said police speculated that SST — the initials the caller used to identify him — might have been an abbreviation for "Students to Stop Tests."
