KU police cut back on night security
By Cory S. Anderson
Kansan staff writer
KU police no longer will provide security for student groups who have late-night parties at the Kansas Union.
New policy includes Union parties
Maj. Ralph Oliver, assistant director of KU police, said the department decided to stop providing security because of problems that had occurred between the police and some of the groups that were having the parties. Oliver said the new policy included all student groups and all activities, such as spring formalts, at the Union that required security.
"We don't feel that we are in a proper role there," he said. "There are other agencies that can come in and serve that purpose."
Oliver said disturbances at the events was one of the reasons KU police decided to stop providing security. Originally, the plan was set up on a temporary basis but is now permanent, he said.
"From time to time, there were
Previously, when a group contracted to use a room in the Union for a late-night party, KU police were automatically included as security, said Gene Wee, reservations coordinator for the Kansas Union. Now, a private security company must be hired.
problems at parties." Oliver said,
"Anytime you have groups of people coming together, there are bound to be problems."
"As I understand it, now, we supply the space, and the security is strictly up to the group having the party." Wee said.
Wee also said that the Union had paid part of the security expense but now the groups must pay all of it.
The group most affected by this change may be the Black Panhelenic Council, Wee said. The council is composed of the greek organizations that most often use the Union for late-night parties.
Tonya Shivers, president of Alpha Kappa Alpha security and a member organization of the council, said even though private security might cost less than the KU police, the change upset her.
"I feel that KU police should provide security for campus events, given that we are a University organization. And we shouldn't have to pay for it."
Shivers said the council met with representatives from KU police at the beginning of the year to discuss previous problems with security.
"At the meeting, we thought we had resolved all of the problems but apparently not," she said.
Another member organization of
the council is Phi Beta Sigma fraternity.
Tommy Hardin, president of the fraternity, said he thought taking security away from the whole group because of a few problems was
"We've never had a disturbance in the last two years that I know of," Hardin said. "It came as a shock to us."
Hardin agreed with Shivers.
unfair.
It has agreed with slivers.
"We shouldn't have to seek outside sources, especially when we have it all here at the University," he said.
But, he said, dealing with outside companies gave the groups more say in decision-making.
"We have a little more flexibility dealing with outside agencies but it's still an inconvenience, and we don't need the kind of deference of the University," Hardin said.
Mary Prewitt, assistant general counsel for the University, said she had met with the University had a legal obligation to offer a type of security for student groups.
Peeping tom sneaks a peek at Corbin
Another student group that has parties at the Union is Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas.
Liz Tolbert, a member of GLSOK,
said the group had not been notified
of the change.

A woman living in Corbin Hall saw a man peering into her window on the east side of the building Monday, KU police reported.
No other reports of voyeurs, or peeping toms, have been made to KU police this semester, said KU police Sgt. Schuyler Bailey.
"If it becomes an obvious problem, we try to flood the area with officers," he said.
To put more officers there, he said,
the shift commander would have to
move officers from other areas of patrol.
Bailey said women should close their curtains to prevent voyeurs from looking in their windows.
"If the guys can't see anything, they won't come back," he said.
Dennis Dailley, professor of social welfare, described a typical voweur as "a strong self-confidence in his sexuality. Many are college students, he said.
"They tend to be younger," he said. "They are often married and have children."
A voyeur receives sexual gratification from looking at women through windows, Dalley said. The man cannot control his behavior.
"They usually experience feelings of
sorrow and anxiety they experience
it as a consequence but they cop it."
For their own sense of security,
Women have good reason to feel threatened by voyeurism. Dailey said
Dailey said, women need to know that voyeurs do nothing more than look.
"Because of their lack of social skills, most voyeurs don't carry it any further than that," he said.
The way parents socialize children encourages voyeurism in some men, he said.
Group says many executed illegally
"We're raising little boys to believe that they are better than little girls and can take anything they want," Dailey said.

LONDON — Government agents in at least two dozen countries illegally killed tens of thousands of people in a ambush. Armney International said today.
Also, 1,903 prisoners were executed under death penalty laws in 35 countries last year, the highest number of such executions since 1981, the Long Island organization said in its annual survey of human rights abuses.
The report, written before many democratic reforms in Eastern Europe, said more than half the world's governments tortured or mistreated prisoners and one-third of them jailed prisoners of conscience, as well as those locked up for the nonviolent exercise of their human rights. A total of 133 countries were cited for alleged wrongdoing.
An accompanying summary touched only briefly on the June
killing of hundreds, perhaps thousands, by Chinese troops in Beijing to quash the students' pro-democracy protest.
It called those killings, and the killing of hundreds of civilians by Sri Lanka's security forces, "striking a blow to extraditional executions this year."
It said that governments made "enormous efforts" to conceal evidence of such killings but that details were reaching the international community more rapidly than ever before.
people became victims simply because they lived in areas whose overall population was seen as the enemy.
"Killings are carried out at night, when the victims are alone, or in remote rural areas where even large-scale troop movements can be undertaken unobserved," the report said.
Amnesty International said many such killings occurred during armed conflict within countries and cited the involvement of Burma for those types of murders.
It said Iraqi forces attacked the Kurdish population with chemical weapons, killing 5,000 men, women and children in Halabja. Survivors of chemical attacks were often summarized as military villages near a town of shokh, more than 1,600 executions in one day were reported, it said.
Amnesty International said many
Amnesty International said it documented prisoners of conscience in 76 countries in 1988.
Detainees were held without charge or trial in more than 75 countries, and torture and ill-treatment was reported in 94 countries, it said.
Police report
Amnesty International, which opposes the death penalty as cruel and unusual punishment, said 1,240 people were sentenced to death in 58 countries last year, although that total only included confirmed cases.
