IN WITH THE OLD
Bob Dole gave the University all of the documents he collected during his years of service. Handling those documents is a big job that has been put in the hands of one man. That man, Bryan Culp, is in charge of so many documents that an entire building will be constructed on campus just to hold the papers.

About nine college-aged people attempted to steal the "Beware Of The Phog" banner that hangs at the north end of Allen Field House yesterday, said Darren Cook, director of facilities.
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said he could not understand the reason for stealing school banners.
"I love having fun, and I even love pranks to the certain extent," Williams said. "But we can't afford to have people taking something as valuable and traditional as our banners from the field house. We have got to have the other students help make sure that this place is policed."
"They didn't actually see this group of people take the banner down, but it was an easy assumption to make," Cook said. "People just don't sit down in an empty arena for no reason. It looked very suspicious, especially as they exited
Cook said two field house employees walked onto the court about 12:45 p.m. and noticed the banner was hanging from one side. The banner, made from bedsheets, was detached on the west side but still attached on the east side.
The employees noticed about nine people in the stands near the banner. The people moved toward the exit, ran down the staircase and fled the field house when approached by the employees, Cook said.
quickly when our staff started walking their direction.
Kansas officials also are trying to recover five banners reported stolen from the field house Monday. Three of the banners celebrated 100 years of Kansas basketball and two honored former players Danny Manning

Cook said the banners were missing Monday afternoon and KU police was immediately notified. He said he had not informed KU police of the latest incident but that a report would be filed this morning.
"I'm shocked and surprised that this is happening," Cook said. "I just don't understand why anyone would want these items. They are valuable items to Kansas athletics and to Kansas basketball, but they are of no use to anyone."
and Lynette Woodard.
No reward has been offered for the stolen banners, but Cook said no action would be taken against anyone who returned them.
Williams urged Kansas students to help stop others from taking items that belonged to the Kansas basketball program.
"I would hope that the students and people here will help us to make sure this doesn't happen again," Williams said. "This is my plea for help."
