Bills Propose KU Buy, Lease
A bill now before the Kansas Senate would give the Board of Regents' power to buy about three acres of land for future expansion of the KU Medical Center.
The land, situated across the street from the Medical Center in Kansas City, was formerly the grounds of a public school.
The University now owns practically all the land on that side of the street. The city has given the University first option to buy until the close of the legislature.
Another bill before the House would give the Board of Regents power to lease some additional land to the Erhart Flying Service in Lawrence.
The land on which the Lawrence airport is located is about 2 mile northeast of the Teepee junction and is now being leased from the University. Erhart officials want to build a larger runway to meet CAA specifications.
The flying service will build an entirely new flying strip approximately 3,000 feet long and plow up one of the two existing runways if the bill is approved.
The beginning of formal student government at the University of Kansas began in 1908 with the election of a student council.

The baffling University system of campus policing and fining powers is about to be straightened out if the bill that passed the Senate and is now in the House is approved.
The bill would give the Board of Regents the power to commission and employ campus police with the authority to give tickets for certain types of parking violations.

House Bill Would Legalize KU Parking Violation Fines
But for all the tickets handed out and all the fines paid by unnerving students, the University has never had the expressed right to collect fines for parking violations in University parking areas.
This sounds routine since the campus police have been giving out University parking violation tickets for a long time.
The commissioning dinner is a tradition of the cadet corps at KU.

All are seniors.
No Policing Power
No Poicing Power
To have the power to collect fines, the University would have to have specific articles in the incorporation papers giving them the right to do so. Unfortunately when the articles of incorporation were drawn up, it was neglected to give the University

In order to have the University streets, particularly Jayhawk Boulevard policed, the University dedicated Jayhawk Boulevard and several other side streets to the city.
The city and county then commissioned the University police force to make arrests for moving violations, such as speeding and reckless driving plus certain parking violations such as parking in front of a fire hydrant.
The first staff at the University of Kansas consisted of three professors, a lecturer on hygiene and a janitor.
The University maintains the streets and has its own police force of 10 general policemen plus a policeman that patrols the freshman women's dormitory area after closing hours.
However, there are certain parking violations such as parking too long in private University areas that the city commission cannot cover. These are the fines the University has been levying.
The campus police give two kinds of tickets, one for city violations, which are processed in city court, and one for University violations, which are processed in student court.
Danforth Chapel was dedicated in the spring of 1946.
