Pizza delivery a risky, as well as amusing, job
By CAROL LICHTI Staff Reporter
A pizza delivery man finds his destination, approaches the door with pizza in hand, never knowing what will be waiting for him on the other side.
"Once in East Lawrence, a lady opened the door with no clothes on," said Kevin Kelly. Lawrence sophomore and delivery man for Pizza Hat, 932 Massachusetts St. "It turned out there were five men and three women, all of them not wearing any clothes and acting like nothing was the matter."
Although the job may have its thrills, it can be dangerous. Recently a man delivering pizza was hit by the pizza was going to deliver stolen from him.
"Sometimes people will come by and grab the pizza away from me," said Wally Poirier, Pittsburgh, Pa., senior, who delivers for Domino's Pizza, 144 W. 23rd St. "That happened to me in front of Elworth Hall last week."
Poirier's manager, Steve Felkel, said the only way to avoid such problems was to tell the delivery men to move quickly and not waste time.
BUT SOME robbers still manage to catch the delivery man. Last week, two pizza thefts were reported to Lawrence and KU police.
Felkel said his delivery men were very visible to the general public.
and NO punches.
"It it'd happen once to our (delivery man) since the school year started," Felkel said.
Poirier called himself the senior Lawrence delivery man because he had been delivering pizzas for the last four years. During that time he has delivered a lot of pizzas and met a lot of people.
“It’s usually the same people (who order pizzas) over and over,” he said.
Besides knowing people in LA, Lawrence
Poirier said he knew the streets of Los
Angeles.
"I CAN be pretty bizarre," said Brad Bartolomew, Lawrence winner who delivers for Minsky's Pizza. 2228 is a delivery to a lot of people who are loaded."
Bartholomew, who has been delivering pizza for several years, said he had a pizza stolen out of his car once, but no one had ever forced a pizza away from him.
"I usually respond by saying, 'Let's not, and say we did,' he said. "If you're smart enough and have a sense of humor you can usually joke them out."
But he has been in threatening situations where people said they were going to steal the pizza.
"I just wish students would know that if you didn't order it you shouldn't run up and say you ordered it, because we were people sometimes," Kelly said. "wrong people sometimes."
Like Kelly, John Starr, a Lawrence sophomore, also delivers for Pizza Hut.
Kelly also has received some theft threats while on the job. While he was delivering at Jayhawker Towers, he was knocked down by a truck, but he was able to get away.
"Parties are the most fun," he said. "People always have problems counting the money. It's not a boring job, that's for sure."

Despite having to put up with a phony address now and then, the delivery men said people usually were nice to them, treated them well and gave them good
But, Poierir said there was a big turnover rate for delivery men.
ALTHOUGH IT may be a lot of fun, the delivery men still have some complaints about their jobs.
The pizza delivery men said they enjoyed their jobs and thought it was an ideal way to put themselves through college.
“It’s because they have to use their own car,” he said. If their car gives them problems, they will not stay long on the job, he said.

While espousing diverse plans for higher education in Kansas, the third party candidates for governor are back to back to back to the oldest Greek philosophers.
By JULIE HEABERLIN Staff Reporter
Under his administration, Shelton said the state would tighten the reigns on eligibility requirements, allowing only those students who had high scores on college entrance examinations into universities.

Before Kansas can become a healthy state, universities must rid themselves of costly student leeches who are "naturally fitted" to perform jobs that do not require college education, politicians said in recent interviews.
"It has to begin in the lower schools," he said. "We need to show
"Today young people have gotten the impression that unless they end up sitting behind a great big mahogany desk, they are failures," he said. "We've got to get the right philosophy, and weed them out."

Frank Shelton, American party candidate, was especially vocal about the millions of dollars of government fraud that occurred into the "executive complex."
JAMES WARD, the Libertarian candidate for governor, suggests the entire educational system be geared to recognize students' individual aptitudes.
Schools need reigns tightened
"We need to cut out all the frills that don't directly involve education," he said. "Universities should not be out hiring professional athletes. The public should not be subsidizing that does not directly benefit them."
Staff Reporter
The college athletic budget is another of Shelton's targets, a program he said should be funded entirely through endowments.
"There is a basic attitude that everybody is the same," he said. "You've got someone in class with a genius-plus IQ and then another with the IQ of a handball and expect them to do equally well."
"There is no way that public higher education can fit your needs," he said. "It becomes too easy to put people behind a wall of knowledge and assumes you have no other interests."
subsidizes a student attending private school, would receive maximum tax credit. he said.
Ward, whose party platform proposes abolishing most taxes so the individual can voluntarily subsidize the poor and education, said private institutions would spring up across the country and instituted a new tax credit system.

Third-party candidates for governor agree:
A college degree is only a door- opener that proves the required courses are passed, Ward said, while individual certificates from private institutions allow the student to master his interests and talents.
"I have no qualms about teachers, even less with the administration. They are simply working in a system that cannot work."
"Public schools will disappear because they are competing with better, private institutions," he said. "But about KU crumbling away overnight."
Shellton, a lawyer-rancher from Cherryville, said he generally opposed the student loan program because of his philosophy that an individual should inde-

He said he opposed any across-the-board faculty salary increases, in favor of an entirely merit-based system.
"It will still be supported with endowments. The individual schools in the university could even run themselves separately."
"I've talked at seminars from MIT to Southern California and I've found the same situation," he said. "Professors should go to work. Too many professors are just sitting in offices or on campus." A few students don't want to take."
Warren Martin, Prohibitionist candidate for governor, said although he supported public universities, private schools were better today because of the lack of administrative skills in public institutions.
From the local superintendent to the college chancellor, Martin said, the public educational system should be restructured.
His proposal of a broader-based tax system, which decreases the property tax and increase sales, gasoline and state income taxes, would bring in necessary funding for education, he said.
Like Shelton, Martin opposes the student loan program.
