Vandals hit Union rest rooms
By KIRK KAHLER
Music lovers and dancers aren't the only people attracted to concerts at the Kansas Union
Vandals also attend the events and leave their marks, Pat Beard, maintenance engineer of the Union, said yesterday.
Beard said the vandals struck mostly during concerts and dances featuring live entertainment. Rest rooms seem to be the favorite target, he said.
Marble partitions between the stalls, which were constructed in the 1950s, have attracted vandals in the last several years, Beard said.
Because the partitions have lit
tie support, he said, vandals can
destroy them simply by tearing them from the floor.
If the marble on the partitions isn't damaged extensively, it can be fixed with epoxy. But lately, he said, the partitions have been smashed and shattered by being thrown on the floor.
When vandalas tear the partitions from their supports, the doors of the stalls usually come off. As a result, he said, several of the stalls on levels two and five of the Union are without doors.
The cost of repairs is $300-$400 a stall. Beard said.
Union officials may replace the marble with a more substantial material, such as stainless steel.
lense stalls would have an overhead rail, which would provide extra support so they are more difficult to destroy.
Beard said he thought the destruction was caused by people not affiliated with the University or by out-of-town visitors.
"I don't know what can be done." Towns said. "We can't watch the building 24 hours a day.
Bill Towns, operations manager for the Union, said vandalism always would be a problem with nubic buildings.
"It's a fairly infrequent thing and shouldn't be blown out of proportion."
