IT WORTH IT?-That may be what Joe Skillman, chief of the campus police, is thinking as he sits at his desk in Robinson Gymnasium. Chief Skillman is sometimes forced to face such unpredictable occurrences as sophomores tied to flagpoles and various University buildings painted
Students' Practical Jokes Create Woes For Skillman
At 7:30 a.m. a few days ago a fraternity reported a strange man had ransacked its house and taken about 10 billfolds and watches. The campus police, along with the city police, went to the home to investigate and found that a member of the fraternity had gathered and hidden the loot just to let his brothers know what would happen if they actually were robbed.
Incidents like this cause Campus Chief Joe Skillman no end of exaspersion. So do students who borrow their friends' car incoercing their owners to restolen automobile.
No Fatalities
The effectiveness of Chief Skillman's department is shown in that there has never been a traffic facility on campus and only one accident of a "near serious" nature. The 12-man department is concerned with the traffic and security of the campus 24 hours a day.
A new speed-timing device will be put into use the middle of April Chief Skillman said. It is electrically timed and it can be operated by one man. He said, "I don't want to arrest everybody but I do want all to know that the speed limit is 20 miles per hour."
The campus parking problem isich that Chief Skillman says, "We have more automobiles than we gave any idea what to do with."There are 2,000 parking places or 4,500 cars. Students who have been around realize the problem,the chief said, but newcomers need to be envinced.
"The regulations are only set up or safety and expediency," he said. Receive Good Training
All the officers on the force, Chief Skillman said, are given 43 hours of in-service training with the lawrence Police Department. Officers are also given 30 hours of traffic control at the KU Peace Officer Training School.

Fenstemaker, Fred Musselman, Floyd Landerth, Ted Cox, John Engels and office clerk Rita Transmeir. Mr. Engels is permanently stationed at North College, Gertrude Pearson Sellards and Corbin Hall.
Over the years, the chief said, the public's attitude toward law officers has changed considerably for the better. He attributes the change to a greater understanding by police personnel of their duties and more training which together enables better public relations.
