With the coming of spring, campus has come alive again with students who spent the winter hibernating.
As a result of students' increased spring activity-jogging, Frisbee and enjoying the weather-an im-mergent sport that requires alert system is being used more.
The KU police emergency phones, better known as the blue phones, are used more in the spring than they are in any other season, Jeanne Longaker, KU police lieutenant, said yesterday.
"In the spring, the phones are used the most because there are more people out, and they observe
more. There are also more joggers," Longaker said.
The blue phones are used an average of five times a day, Longaker said. Each month about 50 people live in situations. The rest are people who need help but are not in an emergency. Some are also pranks.
There are twelve blue phones on campus. The phones are connected directly to the dispatcher's office, Longaker said. They are located at Irving Hill Road, New Green Hall, Sunnyside and Sunflower streets, 13th and Oread streets, 14th Street and Alumni Place, Potter Lake, X zone parking lot, GSP-Corbin parking lot, Pearson Plaza location, between Malott and Wesco halls and at Watkins Hospital.
WHEN THE PHONES are picked up, a light on a panel showing the phone's location lights up. The person can talk with the dispatcher, but the phone is activated as soon as the receiver is picked up.
An officer is dispatched immediately to every call from a blue phone. The officer will reach the police within two minutes, Longaker said.
The phones can be used for a variety of reasons. They are there for any emergency such as an accident, medical emergency or an assault.
The phones are also to be used for other purposes, Longaker said.
They may be used if a person wants to report suspicious activity.
has a flat tire and cannot change it, runs out of gas or needs some information, she said.
"We've had the phones used for all of these situations," Longaker said.
"At the 13th and Oread phone we had a person who picked up the phone and didn't really say anything. The officer was dispatched and it turned out the person was experiencing a heart attack."
Eight of the phones were installed in 1976 after the University hired a consultant to make security recommendations. One of the recommendations was the introduction of the phones, Longaker said.
In 1980 four additional phones were installed.
Each of the 12 phones cost more
than $1,000. Longaker said. The first eight phones were paid for from the police budget, and the additional funds were paid to a special fund from the University.
The monthly cost to maintain the phones ranges from $15 to $25. This includes the cost of the lease line from Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. and maintenance of the phones and the poles they are mounted on.
Longaker said the police department paid for these monthly costs.
There are no immediate plans for additional phones on campus, Longaker said, but any future considerations would include the idea of putting phones in buildings that are frequently used at night such as Wescoe, Strong, Learned and Fraser.
