Sports pavilion lights checked for longevity
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
The Fred B. Anschutz Sports Pavilion isn't open for athletes to use, but the lights are burning day and night.
Flovd Temple, assistant athletic director, said yesterday that the lights were kept on all night to check their lifespan. If the lights are turned on and off, the electricity flow varies too much to yield an accurate test of the lights and the system.
Another reason for lighting the building night and day is for the security of the building and the workers, Temple said.
James Denney, director of police,
said keeping lights on in buildings
was a standard crime-prevention
measure.
Mike Fowler, a workman who is helping lay the football turf, said he and the other turtl layers had been working 12 to 14 hours a day throughout the past week and during the weekend to complete the project on time. The workmen are employed by SuperTurf of Garland, Texas
TEMPIRE SAID THAT the turf for the football field should be laid late this afternoon and that the pavilion would be completed by Oct. 15.
surface once the football field is complete, he said.
The pavilion will be used as an indoor practice field for the football team and other sports, including track practice and meets. The facility will have batting cages for the baseball practice during inclement weather.
The golf teams will be able to prepare for the season before the weather warms up for outside practice with the new golf ball cages. Temple said.
The pavilion will be open for recreational sports activities by fall of 1983. Temple said. He said the athletic department wanted to work out the scheduling of the various intercollegiate sports before the department opened the pavilion for general recreational use.
Workmen will begin on the track
THE PAVILION WILL be the first facility of its kind in the Big Eight Conference, Temple said.
The pavilion is different, he said, because it will be usable by so many different sports, and the construction only eight months to complete.
The pavilion is named after Freed B. Anschutz of Denver, a KU student from 1929 to 1930 who gave the University of Kansas almost half of the $3 million dollars that was needed to complete the project.
Van Slyke points finger at opponent Slattery aide defends mail privilege
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ Staff Reporter
James Van Slyke, Republican candidate for 2nd District representative, charged yesterday that incumbent Rep. Jim Slattery abused his congressional mailing privileges.
Van Slyke said yesterday afternoon that Slattery had stayed within the law in franking mailings in August but had used them to further his campaign. Earlier in the day, Van Slyke held a press conference in Topeka on the issue.
Taxpayers finance franking privileges, which allow congressman free use of the postal system for official mailings.
"The law states he can frank mailings up until 60 days before an election," Van Slyke said. "So he used the 'window of opportunity' between the primary and a few days ago to mail a bunch of stuff that was obviously politically motivated."
VAN SLYKE SAID one mailing went out to everyone in the district, and several mailings were targeted to specific interest groups such as businessmen, lawyers and retired federal employees.
"I saw about a half dozen such mailers, and I said there were at least a dozen," Van Slyke said. "That cost at least $100,000 for
production, printing and mailing of these materials.
"It is clear to me that this was a political move."
Ken Peterson, Slattery's press secretary, yesterday afternoon denied Van Slyke's accusations and said that the mailings were routine informational letters sent to constituents.
"This is a charge a lot of incumbents face." Peterson said. "Slattery said he intended to communicate with the people back in the early 1980s. Many of these mailings were sent a response to letters we received."
"This was the newest update on what the legislature has been doing," he said. "The specific mailings dealt with legislation that affected specific groups of people."
THE MAILINGS WERE sent in August because Congress was
nearing the end of the legislative session, Peterson said.
However, Van Slyke said he didn't believe such an explanation.
"That is a convenient answer," he said, "but I don't buy it."
Van Slyke said the lack of mass mailings in the last year had led him to question Slattery's use of them now.
“If he had a history of sending targeted mailings, I might not have wondered,” he said.
