Missouri fugitive, brother arrested at Lawrence home

Watson staff sets check-out time for roaches
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
The library is being invaded, and some hungry KU students are to blame for the onslaught.
for the bookshop.
Kendall Simmons, who works at the circulation desk of Watson Library, said yesterday that bugs and mice were coming into the building in hordes, attracted by the food and drinks many students leave scattered around Watson library.
"It has really gotten out of hand," she said. "It has gotten to the point where they're having pizza parties and drinking beer in the library."
But Watson personnel have mounted an attack to discourage students from using the library as a aide. The campaign will last from April 13 through 29.
THE REAL TROUBLE started after the renovation of the library was
'We're becoming infested with roaches and mice; all kinds of yucky things. They're coming in for Cokes and they're eating all the books.'
completed in 1982, Simmons said, when vending machines were put into a lounge on the first floor.

Students are now allowed to eat and drink in the lounge, but are not permitted to take food or drinks out of that area.

"We always had problems, but not serious problems," Simmons said. The instant the machines went in, the man jumped up, and it just got totally out of hand.
Students often violate the rules because they do not understand the seriousness of the problem.
"We're becoming infested with roaches and mice; all kinds of yucky things. They're coming in for Cokes and they're eating all the books.
"It's so bad someone had a roach run up her leg one night. You shouldn't have to put up with that at work."
Simmons said the campaign was designed to let KU students know about the problems they caused by leaving food around the library.
The campaign will feature posters and a display including mice, roaches and some books damaged by the vermin.
"When we catch them with food and we explain why they're not supposed to have it, they say 'Oh', I see, I understand that.' " she said. "I think if they understand the reasons, they'll stop doing it."
"WE'RE TRYING TO make it real light-hearted," Simmons said. "But it's a real problem. Damage to books is thousands of dollars, and damage to
furniture and carpet is thousands more."
"It would be a shame to penalize the students who aren't abusers."
"This campaign is a last ditch effort, if it keeps up the way it's going, we'll have to do."
During weekends, Simmons said, the problem gets worse.
"When you come in on Monday, after a weekend, the place is a garbage pit from end to end," she said. "It's pretty appalling. I'm not the world's nearest person, so if it's appalling to me, it's pretty bad."
Signs will be posted in every cubicle and on every table, she said.
