Flowers from Templin brighten workers' day
By JANICE GUNN Staff Renorter
When Scott Corbett picks up the telephone, everything comes up roses for women who work for the KU office of residential programs.
On behalf of Templin Hall men, Corbett sends flowers to all of the women who are either half resident directors, assistants or work in the residential programs office. Corbett is the resident director of Templin Hall.
ONE MIGHT THINK that Templin's staff is spending all its funds on frivolous gifts for the ladies to gain favor, but the flowers do not deplete Templin Hall's fund a bit. Corbett pays for all of them from his own pocket.
Usually, the women receive flowers only on their birthdays with a card signed either "From the Tempunl Hall staff" or "From the men of Tempunl Hall," but if someone has a particularly beautiful wedding, waiting for them when they get home.
He said that sending flowers was one of his hobbies he began as a college freshman. His first roommate at Hiram College, in Hiram, Ohio, was a campus representative for a florist. If his brother had been in charge, Corbett was nailed back in flowers.
"In the early parts of my flower career, it was an easy way to get dates," Corbett said, "but now I do it just to make people feel good."
The women who received Templin flowers said they have enjoyed them. All of them were surprised and then all remembered their Templin men remembered their birthdays.
Many of them still do not know that Corbett is the one who actually drops by or calls a flower shop and pays for the flowers.
"It was a nice surprise from people I didn't expect it from," Andrea Romine, resident director of Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall, said.

Another flower recipient, Rhonda Henderson, Corbin Hall resident assistant, said that she also received a long-stemmed red rose from the
"I was shocked because only a few of my friends knew it was my birthday, and I always wondered who found out."
Templin staff on Aug. 28, the first day of classes and her birthday.
More than 30 women have received flowers from Corbett since the beginning of school, and the bulletin board is covered with thank you notes.
Templin staff members and residents said that at the first of the year, they were thanked for flowers they did not know they had sent.
"When the women R.A.s came up and thanked me at first, I was totally surprised and did not know why in the world I was being thanked," said Graham Clarke, resident assistant at Templin.
Later, Clarke said that Corbett told him and the other staff members to accept any thank-you notes they received because he was sending flowers frequently in the hall's name to women.
"I believe in teaching people that magic still exists in this world, and what could be more magic than making a man come from a total stranger?" Corbett asked.
"What else would I do with my money?" he also asked. "I've already paid for my guitar, and I don't date much."
Corbett said that he was also sending the flowers as another attempt to improve Temulin's image on the campus.
Other actions he initiated in the hall for its image were a champagne brunch, strong participation in the Red Cross Blood Drive this week and a service project in the Lawrence school scheduled for the beginning of November.
"The image in the past was bad," Corbett said. "There was a stereotype of the guys here that they were all animals."
"There's a lot of changing to be done," he said. "If I can turn some things around, that's good for the people in the hall."
A Lawrence woman called KU police Monday and reported that her grand-daughter, a student at KU, was approached by a man who asked to let him take pictures of her, KU police said yesterday.
On the record
Apparently, the man told the grand-daughter that if she would buy the film, he would take pictures of her out in the park. He also told her to come alone, police said.

KU POLICE STOPPED three KU students after they were seen running from the Chi Omega fountain Monday night.
The tunnels, which run underneath the campus, have openings with metal gratings over them, police said.
Police said the students were carrying screwdrivers and told police that they had been curious about the purpose of the steam tunnels.
Trial begins for rape suspect
Wille Dotson, Leavenworth, faces two counts of rape and two counts of sodomy in connection with the 1980 rape case.
A man accused of the rape of a KU student last September will go on trial in today in Douglas County District Court, attorney Mike Malone said yesterday.
Unable to meet the bond set after his arrest, Dotson has been kept in protective custody at Larned State Hospital in Larned, Malone said.
The rape occurred Sept. 2, 1980, near Second and Elm streets, where the woman was walking home from classes, Malone said.
Malone said that the victim had apparently been hit with human fists and that no other weapon had been involved.
While kept in this maximum-security institution, Dotson underwent psychiatric tests to determine whether he was mentally ill, a factor in his alleged behavior, he said.
Malone said that Mike Nichols, Dotson's attorney, had told Malone he was considering entering a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity for Dotson.
The trial will begin at 9 a.m. today.

Safety Hints from your gas company.
If you detect an odor you think may be natural gas—
(1) Open windows and doors to dilute the air to a safe level.
(2) Call for aid or advice from the gas company or fire department.
(3) If the oid appears to be very strong, leave the house or building immediately. Go to a telephone and notify the gas company — do not turn on any electrical appliances, including light switches.
(4) When the problem is solved, have a qualified person from the gas company, plumbing or climate control firms relight appliances.
(5) In the event a leak is detected anywhere outside of a building notify the gas company immediately and describe the location and approximate level of the odor—a quick check of the area will be made to determine the problem and corrective action needed.
If you have any questions please contact our office.
