Police trainee center to get new building
By Jennifer Owen Kansan staff writer
Kansas law enforcement officers will soon have an improved building and more space for training to protect Kansas citizens.
Construction began Aug. 15 on a new building at the Law Enforcement Training Center, 12 miles southeast of Hutchinson. Also, two buildings are scheduled to be remodeled.
"It is the only such arrangement in all of the 50 states, and it has proved to be a great marriage," said Larry Welch, center director.
Robert Senecal, dean of continuing education, agreed that the connection had worked well because the center was an educational program.
The center is run by the department of continuing education at the University of Kansas
"We have helped to develop an academically strong program, which is now being expanded," Senecal said.
The new facility would allow more indoor space for year-round physical training, Senecal said, and its gym would be an ideal site for trainee graduation ceremonies.
Welch said when construction was completed, the officers would have a new $1\frac{1}{2}$-story building, housing, a gym, storage area and office space. The construction project also would refurbish existing buildings and connect them to the newer one. He said remodeling would provide the center with two more classrooms, bringing the total to four. Also, sleeping space for officers would increase from 75 beds to 150.
The new building, Welch said, would take the name of Maynard L. Brazeal, the first director of the center who retired in June after serving from 1969 to 1989.
week, 320-hour session of basic training.
Instructors at the center provided training for every law officer in Kansas during their first year of service, Welch said, and each officer was required to attend an eight-
He said the construction would be paid for with funds removed from criminal docket fees such as traffic and speeding tickets. The first of three phases was expected to cost about $1 million and the total project cost was estimated at $5 million or more, Welch said.
Basic training includes subjects such as on-duty driving, firearms instruction and emergency vehicle operation.
The training is about half classroom instruction and half practical, Welch said.
"All year long we have classes of 65 every eight weeks and we need space," Welch said. "The beautiful thing about it is that it is not costing the taxpayers, KU or the state legislature anything."
Welch said the expansion was needed because the existing buildings were old and space was limited.
In addition to basic training, center curriculum includes supplemental courses in drug enforcement, management, computers, photography and criminal enforcement.
A completion date for the first phase was set for 1990 and Welch said he was hopeful that the entire project would be completed within five years.
SAA plans an escape to Mt. Oread
By Liz Hueben
Kansan staff writer
At this year's national conference of Student Alumni Associations, KU's chapter will be trying to convince college students from across the country to "Escape to Mt. Oread."
Twenty members of KU's Student Alumni Association and their adviser, Judy Ruedlinger, will travel to East Carolina University at Greenville, N.C., for the national convention, which begins Sept. 14.
Ruedlinger said the group would bid to bring next year's convention to Lawrence.
If the University of Kansas wins the bid, the school would play host to about 800 students and their advisers for a three-day convention next September.
The group has picked the theme "Escape to Mt. Oread: Looking to the 1990s" in their pitch to play host.
present a plan for the convention, which includes activities, workshops and sneakers.
The students have prepared a five-minute video tape and a five-minute oral presentation and will
This is SAA's first bid for the conference. The group has been active at KU since 1987.
Ruedlinger said if the University were to win the bid, the SAA would be well prepared.
"We're as ready as if it were happening tomorrow," Ruedinger said. "Our keynote speaker will be Maj. Gen. Joe Engle, commander of the Shuttle Columbia and a KU alumnus."
She said other speakers would include a 1988 KU graduate, Deaneil Tacha, now a federal appeals court judge.
All the activities and many workshops have been planned, and hotel reservations for the students have been made at the Holiday Inn Holldome, Ruedlinger said.
KU's competition for the bid is the University of California at Los Angeles. Ruedinger said it would be tough to win students' votes at the

convention because they get to choose between Kansas and Southern California.
"They weren't very well prepared. One of their activities, though, was lunch at Malibu Beach. Our lunch is planned at the Campanile, so we have to be more creative," Ruedlinger said.
Scott Allred, Wichita senior, will be attending the conference as a member of the Senior Executive Council of the SAA. He said everyone in the group was excited about the conference and the bid for next year.
"We all want it so bad, we're almost sure we'll get it," Allred said. "I don't think UCLA can beat us even with Malibu Beach in their favor. We've put so much work into our bid and come up with so many themes and activities."
The SAA hosts many University functions including homecoming, parents' day and commencement.
KU forecasters find ideal spot for rain gauge
By Paula Parrish
Kansan staff writer
Forecasters at the KU Weather Service have taken steps to ensure future accuracy by moving their rain gauge to a more suitable location.
The gauge, previously situated on a lawn to the east of Malott Hall, was moved last week to the roof of Malott.
Joseph R. Eagleman, professor of meteorology and a forecaster for the service, the move was prompted by trees that were growing up around the lawn location. The trees possibly could render readings inaccurate.
Eagleman said that the move was a precautionary measure taken to ensure the accuracy of future readout data and the original site had been accurate.
The gauge was moved a second time because it was too close to an air conditioning unit.
"Water apparently flew off the blades of the air conditioner and made the gauge inaccurate," Eagleman said.
The rain gauge was moved to the lawn of Malott in 1985 when the atmospheric science program moved from Lindley Hall to Malott. Until then, Eagleman said, the gauge had stood outside Lindsey since the 1800s.
Gary Robinson, hydrologist at the National Weather Service in Topeka, said the National Weather Service received reports of rainfall amounts and river stages from more than 500 locations around the state, one of which was the University of Kansas.
Robinson said that the KU Weather Service consulted with Topeka about the move and that it was probably a wise move.
"They should try to locate the gauge where no buildings, trees or that kind of thing can obstruct the readings." Robinson said.
Although the service reports readings daily from the gauge, it does not own the device. The National Weather Service owns most of the gauges around the state, which are at universities, experimental agricultural stations, water plants, weather service offices, and television and radio stations. Robinson said.
All stations with gauges consult the National Weather Service when a move is proposed, no matter who owns the gauge, Robinson said.
