Blue phones should be used more often, KU police say
By Debbie Myers
Kansan staff writer
Thousands of KU students walk within feet of objects that can help them report crimes every day.
And many of them don't even know it.
Thirteen tall, brown poles on campus with blue lights on top hold phones that connect directly with a KU police dispatcher when the receiver is taken off the hook. Even if the person is in to much danger to stay and talk to a dispatcher, an of-going student will be the scene, any time any day of the week.
Ji Robins, Dodge City senior, said she did not walk on campus at night by herself because she did not feel safe. She had seen the blue emergency phones but was not sure how to use them.
"They still don't make me feel safe," Robins said. "I mean, let's face it, if you're in big, big trouble.
even if there's a phone there, you could be dead before the police get there."
Burdel Welsh, KU police officer,
said life-or-death situations were not
the only ones that merited blue
emergency phone use.
Welsh said people should use blue emergency phones to report car burglaries or accidents instead of driving home to make the calls.
"There are a lot of times that people don't use them enough," he said. "They either don't think about them or they don't think it's a big enough emergency. Reporting a crime is an emergency."
Officers arrive at the blue emergency phone's location within two minutes, Welsh said. Between Jan. 1 and July 31, the KU police dispatchers received 44 calls from blue emergency phones.
Lt. John Mullens of KU police said the first phones were on campus
between 1973 and 1976.
He said that a big reason for installing the phones was that in Lawrence in the early 1970s, one man raped 43 women during an 18- to 24-month period. He had contacts with 40 other women during that time.
Blue emergency phones are located on Irving Hill Road, on the dam at Potter Lake, in front of Murphy and Green galls, between Malton and Wescow halls, at Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Road and at Sunnyside Avenue and Sunflower Road.
They also are located at 13th Street and Oread Avenue, at 14th Street and Alumi Place, at parking lot 91 behind Spencer Art Museum, at the parking garage by Gertrude Sellards Pearson Corbin Hall, by the Pearson place foundation and at the Watkins maintenance service drive and Naismith Drive.
