5 residence halls lacking required smoke detectors
By BEN JOHNSTON
Staff writer
Six years after state fire codes were changed to require university residence halls to have smoke detectors in halls or rooms, five KU halls still do not have them.
Dean Milroy, associate director of maintenance for the office of student housing, said Lewis, Templin, Hashinger, Ellsworth and McColum halls did not have smoke detectors, but the housing office did plan to install them in those halls.
Paul Markley, chief of the fire prevention division for the state Fire Marshal Department in Topeka, said that since 1881, state fire codes have required residence halls to either have a smoke detector in each room or 36 feet apart in each corridor.
"I am rather surprised KU still has five dormitories that do not have fire detectors, because fire detectors are their safety," Markey said yesterday.
Markley said the fire office inspected the residence bell each

But Markley said the housing office was violating state law by not having alarms in the five halls. He said the housing office could be liable if someone was injured or killed in a fire in one of the halls.
"I had been operating under the assumption that the plan is acceptable." Stoner said.

AUTUMN ALLERGIES
At this time of the year, com- gestion, cough, and a runny nose are common complaints among campus. Many students attribute these symptoms to a cold or flu, while in reality they may be symptoms caused by ragweed or other allergens. Over-the-counter antihistamine preparations can be used to alleviate these annoying symptoms but if relief is not possible, a physician should be consulted.

Sunday Brunch in Lawrence
Columnist

And for breakfast outings, I wait until Sunday. The job then is to find a restaurant that offers a satiating Sunday brunch buffet.
For what is Sunday breakfast without joyful gluttony?
When I'm in the mood for a big, nutritional meal, I don't run into the kitchen. I drive to a Lawrence restaurant.
I have located seven Sunday brunches in our glorious city that range in quality, price and menu.
In Lawrence, two kinds of brunches exist: the expensive and fantastic, and the cheap and mediocre.
It's important to know what you're getting your stomach involved in before experimenting with Sunday brunches. Money is at stake here: My money, your money.
The restaurant I choose on any particular Sunday depends on a few variables: How hungry am I this morning? How hurried? How poor?
These brunch buffets are a deal because the restaurants take the time to prepare everything, instead, you can dine on a little of everything... or a lot.
cent.
The brunch, available from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., features breakfast and lunch items, so every appetite may be satisfied. The regular menu is discontinued on Sundays, but two buffet alternatives are available: steak and eggs for $2.25 and eggs benedict for $5.95.
My favorite brunch is at Costello's Greenhouse Restaurant, 3400 W. Sixth St., and I save that fine dining for special occasions. It costs $7.95 a person, a steep price for a college student. If you have the cash, it's worth every cent.
A summary of each brunch is in order:
The buffet feast includes a salad bar, omelets and waffles. Take a breath, and then move onto the fried chicken, fettucini, rab florentine and lasagna. And, finally, the desserts include chocolate fondue, cheese cake and the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had.
The experience is a gastronomist's delight. Some day I'd
The Eldridge Hotel, Seventh and Massachusetts streets, provides a quality brunch in a regal, relaxing atmosphere for $8.25. A tri plays chamber music as diners pass through the buffet line, which is available from 10 a.m. to 2 p. 10m. Entrees include roast beef, ham, fish, chicken and pork. Also available are salads, fruit, fresh bread and desserts.
The best feature in this branch is the Sunday newspaper, available at the end of the buffet line. The brunch features common breakfast foods, such as eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. They're also common
The brunch includes traditional breakfast items, such as omelets, waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon. It also features prime rib, four to five different salads and many, many tempting desserts. It's a veritable haven for chocolate lovers.
desserts.
Park Inn International, 2222 W. Sixth Street, supplies a convenient brunch buffet for motel guests for $3.95. Starting at 6 a.m. and lasting until 2 p.m., this buffet also is available to the public.
like to summon the nerve to return with a large purse, lined with plastic baggies. Then I'd stealthily slide over to the dessert table and snatch up a dozen chocolate chip cookies for future consumption.
Another first-rate branch buffet is at the Holiday Inn Holdome, 200 McDonald Drive. Again, you pay for quality, so you better be hungry. This one costs $2.5, and is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Four long buffet tables box in an ice sculpture centerpiece. The sculpture begins every Saturday night as a 300-pound block of ice. A local artist chips away at the ice with chisels and creates a new subject each week. Last week the centerpiece was a cornucopia. It was a horse chess piece the week before.
The impressive buffet line is placed in the center of the hotel lobby. You can't miss it. You can't even walk by without dodging a diner or two.

"A jury would probably have to answer that question." Markley said. "If they believed the University was negligent, or not making enough of an attempt to comply with the law, they could possibly be held responsible."
Two halls are about the most that could be wired with smoke detectors in one year because the housing office has a limited number of electricians. Also, the cost of the installation would take money away from other projects such as roof repairs, Stoner said.
Milroy said smoke detectors were installed in the scholarship halls in the early 1980s.
Don McConnell, assistant director of maintenance for student housing, said that Oliver still was being wired for the smoke alarms, and that the project would be completed by the beginning of next semester.
Stoner said smoke detectors had been installed in Jayhawey Towers some time after the housing office began operating the Towers in 1980.
