Stouffer lighting improved
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
When Fabricio Balcazar became president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association three years ago, some residents thought that outdoor lighting near their homes was inadequate.
"There were no reports of any attacks, but there were a lot of complaints from women at Stouffer Place who had to go to campus at night," Balcazar, Bogota, Colombia, graduate student. said Monday.
But things have brightened considerably on the eastern slopes of Daisy Hill. In August, KPL Gas Service installed six mercury vapor street lights along the sidewalks east of Stouffer, which lead to the Burge Union.
The project began last year when the Stouffer Neighborhood Association took its concerns about Stouffer lighting to J.J. Wilson, former director of student housing.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that when he replaced Wilson this summer KPL had already dug trenches for the new street lights and the project was well under way.
Balcazar said, "Mr. Wilson also got the people from KPL to replace the lamps in the parking lots because they were inferior."
Stoner said yesterday that the Office of Student Housing would pay the monthly utility bill for the new lighting.
Floodlamps also have been placed at the ends of several Stouffer buildings. Stoner said four other lamps were on the way. The housing office is awaiting sheet metal, which will be mounted between the laftops and the brick walls of the buildings.
The new street lights might be helping to reduce crime. But they also have destroyed a certain ambience the area had before, one Stouffer resident said.
"It used to be we could go walking there in the evening and feel like we were getting away from the apartment and the campus, but we can't do that apmore," said Geoff Bohling, Lawrence senior.
When Anschutz Sports Pavilion was built east of Stouffer Place, Bohling said, the lights there blinded and annoved nighttime pedestrians.
The new street lamps have diminished this effect, he said.
Departments start space swap
By Jill White Of the Kansan staff
In what Jerry Moore, assistant dean of fine arts, described as a game of musical chairs, the architectural engineering department and jewelry and metalsmithing studio began the first stages of a space swap inst week.
The architectural engineering department had been located in Fowler Hall, the older part of the Art and Design building. This week it moved
temporarily to Snow Hall to make room in Fowler for jewelry and metalsmithing studios.
After the jewelry and metalsmithing studio moves out of the west end of Broadcasting Hall, renovation will begin there to accommodate architectural engineering.
The jewelry and metalsmithing studio will also be renamed the Carlyle Smith Jewelry and Metalsmithing Studio in honor of the professor who founded that design program, said James Moeser, dean
of fine arts.
Mae Harper said a dedication ceremony for Smith, a professor emeritus of design, would be held sometime in October even though the studio would not vet be in Fowler Hall.
Moore said the studio would probably be able to move in by the end of October.
Moore said the architectural engineering program's main needs were office and classroom space and some lab space.
Students paint panels

Board member; said yesterday.
The unexpected interest in the event prompted committee members to preserve four of the unique collages for a future show and to sell the other four panels.

More than 600 students transformed blank, white Sheetrock into graffiti art this week by drawing designs on the SUA "Express Yourself" exhibit this week, Rick Lindley.
Student Union Activities on Sept. 11 invited students to express their creativity by drawing designs on four-4-by-8 foot panels in the gallery on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Steve Callahan, chairman of the event, said the idea was based on American painter Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti art in New York, and on the rock paintings by Valtoria
"The need for humans to express themselves is nothing new," Callahan said. It can be observed that our history from prehistoric to modern art.
Apparently, the same need exists for KU students. At the end of the first day, 32 students had created designs and by yesterday, 1,137 students had participated in the event.
Lindley said the SUA board was at first hesitant to accept the participatory event because it feared students' drawings would be obscene or vulgar.
Student response was so overwhelming that on Monday, four new panels were hung to replace the original four panels. The new panels will remain in the gallery until Friday.
