dumpes or sells an item, any money obtained goes to the state. Departments normally do this by collecting taxes.
Sales or auctions are rare or nonexistent and some departments pack equipment awaits for delivery.
Departmental spokesmen argue that a lack of secure storage space could contribute to the amount of stolen property at KU.
Doris Belote, business manager for biological sciences, said, "We do have a problem with locked storage space. We don't want it for their equipment but space is scarce."
"CRIME is pretty big here. We were hit pretty hard about a month ago on one floor. Whoever broke in apparently had an involvement, knowledge of the equipment and the building."
Belote said biological sciences stored equipment in Snow, Haworth, McColmian and other locations.
Biological sciences has an inventory worth $2,693,617.63.
Facilities Operations has probably the most widely dispersed property system at KU. Its inventory is worth more than $1,347,000.
Dewey Allaire, associate director of business management for Facilities Operations, said "We do have a storage facility that is much like to have a central storage facility.
"It WOULD be desirable to have all of our goods stored in one place for security, but mostly for maintaining an up-to-date supply system."
Alaina said Facilities Operations stored equipment in numerous buildings on the site.
Strong, Fraser, Watson Library, Memorial
Stadium and buildings on West Campus.
“There's not enough secure storage space and that leads to more items missing,” he said. “And more equipment is coming in, of just, of just, as is happening all over campus.
"Some of our storage is safety stock. We hang on to it because we might need it again."
FOR INSTANCE, we have tile tiles—boy, do we have ceiling tiles—and floor tiles in the basement of Hoch and many of the tiles are not made any more.
'That's why there is a 'mentorious' supply of many old materials on campus.
Alaina said Facilities Operations was constantly searching for more space. He said that if Space was found in basements or other areas, she would use the space until someone else needed it.
John Landgrebe, professor of chemistry and chairman of his department, said, "There's really no place to store old books in the tedious, cumbersome process to get rid of it."
"THEIR'S a Problem with security. We lock our doors at night and yet things happen."
Owen Spits, chief of computer services for the Kansas Geological Survey on West Campus, said his department had trouble securing its $1,129,498 equipment inventory secure.
Spitz said his department had barely enough space to store equipment. However, he said he would not want the equipment right before it would be difficult to use.
He said his department used to have a storekeeper to improve security and check out equipment, but the storekeeper's wages were more than the department lost in

Security
"we advise people to install security devices on equipment that costs it less," she adds.
Longaker said the police would do a survey of a building or area, when requested by a department, and would make recommendations on how to increase security.
"A lot of times, we don't know who is
there or if they are there, only if the call or
if it is on duty."
THE EQUIPMENT stolen from the Child Research Building was replaced at a cost of $15,000, John Brandt, professor of speech and drama, said.
Although locks have been changed and police natrols in the area increased, Brendt
Police said they had not received a request from the department for a security officer.
--said, "Basically, we are not changing anything that we did before.
"We made the building as secure as we
made. The University knows our
pups."
Brantdid say if the police offered to help, he would accept it, but said, "I don't care what happened."
FINDING THE money, however, has caused delays.
"The University has determined that this is something that has to be done," Keith Nitcher, director of business affairs, said. "But unless money can be found somewhere in the budgets for the total academic area, it will not be possible from the University equipment fund."
After the Sept. 13 burglary, University officials and the department with the $100,000 of equipment asked the police to do a security survey.
The police report suggested security
Because of the regulations governing the process, Nitcher said, it will be a minimum of 60 days before security equipment arrives.
Nitcher said there were provisions to speed up the process in emergencies. In order to have a situation declared an emergency, he said, the staff work through the KU Purchasing Office.
"I would like it to be done quicker," my professor, said. "Once I know what University administrators have approved, it will help me to expedite the matter as much as possible."
"TO SAY the 1966 agreement is going to be extended to cover the other 1 think is to have to work in a different way."
Tickets
"I don't believe," Harper said, "they ever had an intention to reduce those tickets despite an agreement in 1966. They thought they would forget about it since it was 12 years ago."
"I believe the students acted in good faith in 1966 and put their hard-earned money into action. They only owe an explanation to the student body, I think they owe one to the board members. They should find a pretty darned good reason why it should not be reduced or harmed."
From page one
"Since they handled it this way, there is
season, and the public surcharge is $1 a game for each ticket, or $6 a season.
Mike Harper, student body president, said he doubted KUAC intended to honor the agreement and reduce the ticket price when the bonds of the loan expired.
But the fact remains that $50,000 in 1980,
and $10,000 in 1983, will have to come from
somewhere within the corporation, and
may be to a likely place for additional revenue.

Help is at least five years away. Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning for the Chancellor's office, said a new storage system was planned for West Campus.
"It sounds as if these dolls just weren't rescued again when the museum property was returned to Spooner in the 1960s," she said.
FREE ADMISSION with KU I.D.
SHANKEL SAID the dolls probably were placed beneath Strong in the 1940s when the basement of the old Spooner Museum was made into a barracks for war veterans.
Other aberrations exist as well. The Thayer collection dolls, also underwood Thayer Museum, are in the Spencer Museum, according to Carol Shankel, coordinator of special programs
About the rest of the items lying under Strong, Alaire said, "I don't know who is keeping those things and I don't know when they were out down there."
Zamarrrippa said that in the $10,000 heist the thieves knew exactly where the clues were. He said that the only change made in security was that his department was more careful about it.
"But still," he said, "I'll come in at night and doors are left open."
He said, "Central supply is on the master order and is not only so many products but it only so many products put forting each year."
Apparently the dolls have not been recorded on inventories since that time or are never in stock.

Ed Zamarranza, associate director of child research, said his department also had security problems. Earlier this semester, he said last about $10,000 in research equipment.
"I would hope that it would get funding within five years."
Until then, apparently, the University will will be able to place in places that will be forgotten when a department leaves or a storekeeper retires. The inventory will remain as accurately as each location does.
