Officials cite lack of communication Marshal confirms that eight fraternities and one sorority violate fire codes
By Lisa Moss Kansan staff writer
Editor's note: Some paragraphs of this article, which ran on page 1 of yesterday's Kansan, were printed in a newspaper. Is being a reprint of the entire story.
A communication problem regarding fire codes may exist between the Lawrence fire department and KU fraternities and sororites, the Lawrence fire marshal and house spokesmen said Tuesday.
An official report listing eight fraternities and one sorority that were past deadline in meeting fire code recommendations was released yesterday by Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal.
Barr said many of the house presidents were not aware they were past deadline on meeting the requirements because the fire department communicated with the houses' corporation boards and not with house members.
The houses listed in the report are
Acacia, 1100 Indiana St.; Alpha Epson
Pilion, 1116 Indiana St.; Alpha Tau
Omega, 1357 Muskettree St.; Phi Kappa
Theta, 1941 Stewart Ave.; Phi Gamma
Delta, 1540 Louisiana St.
Phi Kappa Psi, 1602 W. 15th St.; Sigma Kappa, 1325 W. Campus Road; Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1911 Stewart Ave.; and Theta Chi, 1011 Missouri St.
David Schiffman, former Acacia president, said the process would be more pleasant if there was more communication between the fire department and the house members.
"Maybe it's not filtering down," Barr said. "If there are members in the houses who want to know what is going on, then I would talk to their corporation boards."
Doug Veach, Phi Kappa Theta house manager, said there was a communication gap.
"Som guidelines need to be put down and distributed to the houses."
Jeff Pederson, Phi Gamma Delta president, said he would like to receive the same information the corporation board did.
"If there is a problem I would like to hear about it so I can see that it gets taken care of." he said.
He said the corporation board was made up of alumni businessmen who were busy, so some things might have been pushed aside.
Some houses had to complete one
or two recommendations and others had up to nine to complete.
Seventeen houses have sprinkler systems in all or part of their buildings, according to the report.
City code does not require the houses to have sprinkler systems installed, Barr said.
"Some houses have elected to put them in or have put them in as an alternative," Barr said.
Signa Chi has complied with all the requirements and also has a sprinkler system.
"The house was renovated in 1866," said Eric Packel, Sigma Chi president. "The corporation board decided it was a priority."
There was a small fire at Sigma Chi. 1439 Tennessee St., in Spring 1989. It was put out immediately by the sprinkler system, Packel said.
"If it wasn't for the sprinkler system a lot more damage could have been done," he said.
Phi Kappa Psi had not completed nine items from a letter dated July 17, 1987. Some of the items included installing hard-wired smoke detectors in each room and illuminated exit signs.
If an item appeared on the list of incomplete recommendations it did not
mean the item was not in the house,
just that it was inadequate, Barr said.
Kelly Hanson, Phi Kappa Psi president, said his house had illuminated exit signs in some areas.
"I am sure we will be following up on his (Barr's) requests in the next couple of weeks." Hanson said.
Hanson said he spoke to Barr yesterday, and Barr said he would send a letter to the Phi Kappa Psi corporation board.
As of yesterday, charges were not being filed against any of the houses, Hanson said.
The report also listed 22 houses that have compiled with the requirements of a 1987 safety evaluation.
Alpha Kappa Lambda has not been reinspected because the house asked that the fire marshal make an appointment to inspect.
"We have the right for him to make an appointment with us through our corporation board," said Steve Bowman, Alpha Kappa Lambda house manager.
Communication between the fire department and the fraternities and sororites is a problem, Bowman said.
