Potholes damage cars and bicycles
By KIESA ASCUE Staff Reporter
The biker's body was jarred by the impact of zooming full speed into a potheth. The sound of air hissing from a front tire told the story.
Another pothole put a bicyclist in the dust.
It was a small pothole and a new tube cost only $3.62. Not all bicyclists are so lucky.
Potholes can cause even more damage to cars, especially cars with front-wheel drive.
"It can knock a car out of alignment, break fiberglass steel belts in a tire, bend rims, bend a strut assembly and wrinkle a fender." Wayne's Body Shop Inc., 1214 East 23rd St., said yesterday.
"HIT HARD ENOUGH, it could cost up to $600 to repair. That depends on the car. A lot of foreign car parts don't come cheap."
George Williams, director of Lawrence Public Works, said potholes were created when moisture that had seeped into the pavement froze and thawed several times, eroding the pavement. Thus, small cracks can become more pronounced, particularly in porous pavement.
"It is awfully difficult not to let them form," Williams said. "The best measure would be an extensive crack-filling measure."
With the onslaught of winter, the problem of potholes becomes more acute.
However, patching every crack in the roads would be a tough job. Currently, roads are inspected for
potholes but nobody inspects them for cracks. Williams said.
Pothole repair costs vary as much as potholes do.
"It's kind of a never-ending process," he said. "How long it lasts depends on the weather. It could be one day to several weeks."
"ITT D PROBABLY take two 30 minutes to fill an average one about two feet by six inches," said Don Farrier, supervisor of the city street department. "That would cost $11 at $5 a man."
Joe Christy, KU assistant director of construction, said that all the potholes on campus were repaired Monday.
On the record
New problems occur after pothels are repaired. The road gets worse when moisture begins to erode the patched area.
Watson Library personnel safely evacuated students yesterday afternoon during two false fire alarms, Simmons, circulation assistant said.
The first alarm occurred about 1:20 p.m. when smoke from a welder's tools set off the alarms in the library, Simmons said.
Library personnel reset the alarms,
stopped the evacuation and canceled
the alarm.
About a half hour later the alarms sounded again.
The Lawrence Fire Department answered the second alarm at 2:01 PM.
Library personnel did not know why the alarm went off so they continued with library fire procedures, Simmons said.
Students evacuated the building while firemen searched for signs of fire.

"DAVID (WELCH, Student body vice president), and I feel, and the task force as well feels, that beer in the stadium this year looks very bleak," he said. "I really don't think a new athletic director would go against the alums."

The $40,000 to $45,000 that beer sales would have raised annually would be offset by alumun's withdrawal of funds from the $19,000 and said the Williams Fund, Adkins asks.
Adkins said alumni who met four days ago unanimously opposed a player in the stadium despite efforts by篮球队助教 task last year and this year.
Welch said the task force had discovered that none of the top 20 universities in the nation sold beer in their stadiums, and only one Big Eight school, the University of Colorado, allowed it.
Beer in Memorial Stadium is out of the question for now, but student influence in other areas of the athletic department is on the rise, David Adkins, student body president, said yesterday.

"The immediate response of most people is, 'Who wants to emulate the Colorado program?' That's certainly too to build our case on." Adkins said.

He said athletic directors in the past had not listened to the Student Senate, student press or student living groups and refused to price lists and reserved seating policies.
"You can't expect students to fill the stadium with the ticket policies of the past," Adkins said. "We're going to try to change that." The ticket price has not been increased at all next year.
Adkins said the athletic department in the past had simply expected that students would buy tickets, but that attitude could not continue.
The price for basketball season tickets rose from $11 to $28 this year. As a result, only 3,000 students bought tickets to the game. The athletic department had counted on

could let another Kansas school or Big Eight school venture to be first to allow beer, and then KU would follow.
"Hopefully, we'll find someone who'll be more receptive to student needs," Adkins said.
"A lot of people see KU as a liberal haven since the 70's," she said. "We've been trying to downplay that with alums and folks in western Kansas."
Welich said the task force would continue to gather information for a permanent file for Senate to use in the next few years.

"THERE NEEDS to be a new approach to ticket sales—a lot better P.R. approach." Welch asid.
Adkins said a more personal approach, such as sending athletic department administrators, coaches and players to organized living groups, could improve relations towards the athletic department and ticket sales.
"You get the helmets off their heads and they're really nice people to know." Adkins said. "Students should feel they have someone to go to in the athletic gym."
Now that every student pays $4.50 in activity fees to the athletic department, Adkins said, the students should exert more influence.
