10 code Secret code of city police cloaks facts
By ROB McNEELY Staff Reporter
"123 10-10 1511 West 23rd." the police officer spoke into his car transmitter.
"2032," came the dispatcher's reply.
This is the world of the 10 code, the system police use to communicate on the police radio. The officer above told the dispatcher who he was (unit 123), that he'd be out of service but subject to call (10-10) and that he would be at Sambo's Restaurant, 1511 W. 29rd St.
Partial 10 code list
The dispatcher simply recorded the time of his communication—2032, or 8:32 p.m.
Police officers use this code religiously at work, and sometimes it slips into their conversation when they're off-duty.
Unfortunately, for those of us who work daily with police, the 10 code can often slip into our daily conversation, too.
Here is what happened to me:
THE OTHER DAY I was 10-8 at my 10-42 studying. I was 10-24 at about 1230 and decided to go 10-7 from the books and 10-8 at the bars.
About 1215 J4 was 10-23. I was 10-8 at
1601 W. 23rd St. (Gammon's) having
a drink and hoping to 10-43 a nice
dance partner.
The following is a partial list of the 10 code. Often, one number will have several similar meanings. For instance, 10-46 means investigate drunken driver but is also used when referring to someone who is drunk.
10-1 Receiving poorly; move to a better location
10-2 Receiving good
10-3 Acknowledgement; okay
10-4 Busy/stand by
10-5 Out of service
10-6 In service
10-7 Repeat
10-10 Out of service, subject to call
10-11 Stay in service
10-17 Nothing for you
10-19 Return to your station
10-21 Call by phone; a phone
10-23 Arrived at scene
10-26 Finished with last assignment
10-30 Does not conform to rules and regulations
10-42 Officer now at home; at home
10-43 Meet ___ at ___; meet someone
10-44 Drinks ___ drinks
10-68 Give me a test
10-66 Give me a test
10-73 Advise audio quality
10-77 No contact at all
10-74 Audio quality good
10-78 Your quality poor. Transmitter
10-46 Investigate drunken driver;
drunk
10% to 14% quality post - A random apparently out of adjustment
"Hi, " I said. "Care to dance?" "104." she said
10-80 Pickup your partner at ___;

10:00 Pickup your partner at ___

I saw a young woman who looked as if she wanted to dance.
We made our way to the dance floor and were 10-48 there for three or four songs. Then a slow song came on and we went to the stage and I moved closer for the dance.
10-86 Advise correct time; time
10-89 Caution
10-89 Caution
"10-77!" she shrieked, "Or you'll be 10-7 for life."
Well the last thing I wanted was to be 10-7 for life, but I went ahead and told her that I just wanted to dance when she was doing 18-30 of dancing.
"10-4," she said again. "But that's the way I am. I have 10-17 and advise 10-89 if you want to 10-11 with me."
Well I wasn't about to 10-11 with her, not only because she was rude, but also because as she talked, I could tell she was extremely 10-46.
I SAW A FRIEND of mine who was 10-8 by a speaker, and went up to talk with her.
I decided to 10-7 her and go find somebody else to 10-11 with.
"Hi." I said. "Are you 10-6?"
"I was," I said. "But I got tired
We walked away from the speaker and stood by the bar.
"Negative," I replied. "It's the speaker. Lets 10-1."
"10-9." she said. "10-78."
"10.68.10.73." I said.
"10-4. You're 10-74 and I'm 10-2.
Now 10-9, how come you're not 10-42," she said.
"I was 10-42 but about 313 I was 10-24 so I decided to 10-7 my books and be 10-8 1601 West 23rd for a while."
"10-4," she said.
you have to 10-12 in.
"About 2330," I said. "I'm a little tired and need to 19-27 early."
"2307," she said. "What 10-86 do you have to 10-19 10-42?"
"10-4," she said. "I'm a little tired myself."
"Say, why don't I 10-80 you Saturday night about 2000 and we'll go have a drink and go to a movie?" I suspected.
"10,4 sounds good," she replied.
"Why don't you 10-21 me at 844-8418
about 1200 Saturday just to be sure
we're 10-4?"
"10-4," I said. "Take care. 10-43 you in class. Bye bye." "Bye."
"10-4," I said. "I'll be 10-7 10-42 before too long, too. I'll 10-43 you 10-8 tomorrow in class."
I was tired, and went directly to 10-42. Moments later, I crawled into bed, said a prayer and told God that I'd be 10-16 for the night.
1 routed over, snuggled up warm and became 10-7 to the rest of the world.
When the KU football team goes on tour, the number of players is much longer than the team roster.
Football team not alone when it goes on road
By ARNE GREEN Staff Reporter
On an average trip, whether by bus or plane, the entourage is not limited to players and coaches. The average KU travel party to an out-of-town game is between 100 people and 100 people according to Susan Wachter, athletic business manager.
IN ADDITION to the 55 or 60 players, 11 coaches and assorted trainers, managers and team doctors necessary for the game to take place, several athletic department officials and guests go along, Wachter said.
Sid Wilson, sports information director, actually makes the trip up to four days in advance of the team in order to do his job.
"I visit with the media in that city, state or area," Wilson said. "I provide information plus films and photos. I publicize the athletes and the team."
Wilson also confirms the team's motel reservations and makes sure guests are accommodated.
"That's a new duty for the sports information director this year," he said. "It saves two of us from having to go out early. I just try to insure that when the team gets there, everything is set."
The travel group also includes media people, such as personnel from the KU sports network and film and video节目 Don Fambrough Show, Wachter said.
Acting Chancellor Del Shankel and his wife go on some of the trips,
Wachter said. Two others, Bob Marcus, athletic director, and John Novotny, director of the Williams International Fund, go to all away games.
MARCUM SAID he liked to visit with the athletic directors at the other schools to compare notes on the athletic programs.
"What I'm interested in is what's going on at the other school," Marcum said. "I can look around and see some things that we may have better than others and maybe find some things they have that we'd like to have.
Novotny said he often took members of the Williams Fund to the games and
taught them about soccer.
The Williams Fund collects private contributions that pay for athletic activities.
In addition to athletic department officials, the head coach or athletic director can also invite guests, according to Wachter.
"We take a person from the
group to give us a name,
game as well as other guests," she said.
WACHTTER SAID the cost of a road trip varied greatly from game to game, depending on the distance the team must travel.
"The trip to Oregon cost about $47,500 and the Syrucase, N.Y., cost trip between $4,500 and $47,000," she said.
"The trip to Kansas State was only about $5,000."
Wachter said the team took three plane trips this year. The Oregon and Syracuse planes were charter flights but commercial flight, because it was cheaper.
The football team's travel budget for 1980 was $169,000, according to the University of Kansas Athletic Association budget.
Building code violations turn bargains into busts
Rv ROSE SIMMONS
Staff Reporter
When students moved into their apartments in the Oread area this semester they sometimes found that they had eaten less than they had bargained for.
These are just a few of the problems that plague some students who live in the Oread area. The Oread neighborhood borders the KU campus on the

other coaltions and the independents who had won seats.
"Bert and I didn't win it," Abbott told their supporters. "You won it for us."
Coleman said he was proud of those who had run on impact and the students who were willing to learn.
"Whether we won or lost, we won," he said. "We made a lot of good friends."
He also credited Metzger with running a good campaign.
"I think Larry did a hell of a job and he would have made a great president," Coleman said. "We were lucky."
north and east sides, extending to
michigan and
massachusetts streets
Coleman said his and Abbott's first priority would be to meet with the leaders of the different campus groups next week.
"We want to let them know that we're here to serve," Coleman said. "We will always have an open door."
"The most important thing is that we regain student interest."
According to a study done by the Lawrence Office of Community Development last December, there were no significant structural deficiencies in the Oread area.
MARGENE SWARTS, Lawrence building inspector, said that about one-third of the minimum structure code violations she cited last year were in the Oread area. Minimum structure codes set standards for health and safety in plumbing, electricity and heating.
The winners assume their new duties today.
"Until students make an effort to encourage landlords to get things fixed, there won't be a whole lot of change," she said.
In some cases, the landlords cannot afford to make the major repairs that are sometimes needed to bring the property up to minimum codes, Lynn Goodell, director of community development, said.
One landlord, who asked not to be identified, said he could not afford to make repairs to the apartment he owned until he received rent money.
"The house pays for itself," he said.
The landlord, who owns a house on Ohio Street, said that because of a lack of funds, he was unable to install the electric fire alarm system required by the city or to re-roof the apartment. Both he and his wife work, he said.
The Office of Community Development has been working on proposals that would allow moderate-income owners of rental properties to use federal loans to bring their rental properties up to minimum conditional equity levels. Rental loans could then come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The absence of low-interest government loans to renovate rental property has left some students living in poor conditions, Goodell said.
Many of the students who move into the apartments and then discover they cannot tolerate the conditions leave them to their parents said. Others try to fix their places up.
One KU student said his landlord's failure to six the leaks in his apartment had led to ugly stains on his sink and bathroom porcelain.
"I've asked the landlord to fix the water leaks many times," the student,
Keith Kersenbrock, 1108 Louisiana St. said.
Kersenbrock, Evanston, Ill., graduate student, said the landlord also would not respond to his requests to fix the living room ceiling light. He said the light had not worked for four of the six months he had lived there. Lighting was now needed by Kersenbrock said, because there were only two electrical outlets in the apartment.
"I'm sure there's some type of wiring problem in this house," he said.
Kersenbrock said he planned to move soon.
SCOTT FRANCES, 1333 Tennessee St., a student at Lawrence High School, said he had not received a deduction in his rent for painting his room. He lives on the outside with peeling white paint on the outside and a smell of rotting wood on the inside.
BRYAN HENDERSON. Concordia junior, said he preferred working with his landlord to make his apartment livable.
"I came down before the semester started to strip the wallpaper and paint," he said.
Henderson lives in an attic apartment at 1400 Ohio Street. He said his landlord had reduced his $180 monthly rent because he had painted the walls.
Some landlords cannot afford to pay students for their efforts at improving the quality of life.
"My landlord can't afford to pay me for painting," he said. "Sometimes, he can't even afford to pay the utility bills here."
Frances said the residents of his house often went without gas or electricity for a few days.
Mike Weas, owner of Frances' and several other apartment houses on Tennessee Street, said that sometimes the owner would bill utility bills and maintenance expenses.
"The expenses are killing me," Weas, 28, said. "I'm barely meeting them."
We said he had a 30-year mortgage if he wanted to be not selling some of them to investors. He would have thanked us.
"I will use some of the money to fix the houses up," he said.
Meanwhile, Frances said, he would continue living in the apartment house.
