Severe weather plan passed for graduation
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
For every plan, there is an alternate plan.
And, for the first time, the University of Kansas has adopted a third alternate plan in the case of bad weather at this year's commencement ceremonies, the commencement coordinator said.
At 7 p.m. May 13, KU graduates, faculty and administrators will take the traditional walk "down the Hill." At least, that's Plan One
But if the weather takes a turn for the worse, one of two alternative plans will go into effect, said Stephen Grawbow, the coordinator.
Plan Two is the foul-weather plan, which will go into effect if there is a steady rain, he said. In that case, the plan will be moved to Allen Field House.
Plan Three is the severe weather plan, which will take effect if severe storms or tornadoes are forecast, Grawbow said. In this plan the ceremonies will be postponed until May 14 and will be held outdoors.
ne police were concerned that, in the event of a tornado, large crowds of people would not be able
to move to safety," he said. "Consequently, the committee decided to develop a contingency plan in case of the possibility of postponement.
Also for the first time this year, tickets will be issued to graduates in case Allen Field House has to be used, he said.
Each graduate who picks up a cap and gown during commencement weekend will receive four tickets. Allen Field House, Grawbow said.
But if the weather is good and commencement isn't moved, tickets won't be collected, he said.
Police estimated that last year more than 20,000 people attended the ceremony in Memorial Stadium. Allen Field House only holds 12,000 people and there would be major crowd. So the ceremony had to be moved, he said.
If changes are made, Grawbaw plan, said plans would be broadcast over local radio stations and information through the KU Information Center.
In the past, because only two plans existed, the whistle was blown to alert people of weather changes, he said. "It could have been very confusing," he said.

Misa del Pueblo, will be said to commemorate the death of Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, who was killed in Salvador in 1980 while saying Mass.
"The church has gotten in the middle of the Central American controversy by taking the side of the oppressed," Gouveia said.
"This is a protest of the Salvadoran government's, and U.S. support of the government's attempt to deny Salafism or exercise its Christian religion freely."
