Familiar Campus 'Boys in Blue' Control, Patrol, Cajole Students
Like tugboat captains, they sit —watching.
Thousands of students pass by in a continual stream rarely glancing in their direction or giving them a thought, and yet they watch and wait.
The familiar men in blue, as much a part of KU as red roofs and limestone, are on duty round the clock controlling the flow of traffic, patrolling the campus and parking lots, and, in general, looking out for student welfare, Lt. Bill Fenstemaker of the KU Campus Police, said.
WORKING OUT of the Traffic and Security Office, the patrolmen operate on three shifts, he continued. Long before many students pry their eyes open each morning to greet the new day, the first shift has unlocked the five traffic control booths and settled down to business.
That business is keeping most of the cars in the Lawrence area off campus between 7 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. This traffic control system, started in the fall of 1962, was designed to allow the students freer movement between classes without worrying about dodging cars, he said.
However, visitors are given special permits and allowed to proceed. Fenstemaker added.
THE SECOND shift relieves the first at 3 p.m. and closes the bootthes. Afterwards, this shift directs the evening traffic flow along Jayhawk, the peak hitting about 5:15 p.m.
Later in the evening these same patrolmen police the campus until the third shift takes over at 11 p.m.
This grave-yard shift is the one the students rarely see, Patrolman Lee Johnston said. Johnston, a "tugboat captain" by day and a Jeep patrolman by night, likes to joke about his mode of transportation on campus.
"A four-cylinder Jeep isn't exactly a pursuit car," he laughs, "but it beats walking." Covering about half the campus on his rounds, Johnston checks parking lots, the campus in general and places on campus that many students do not even know exist.
ACCORDING TO Johnston, campus parking tickets are the most common offenses encountered by the campus policemen, yet they keep alert for other offenses. The campus police are empowered to give regular city tickets if city ordinances are broken as well as the familiar

Rules and regulations regarding motor vehicles on campus are passed by the State Board of Regents, according to E. P. Moomau, Chief of KU's Traffic & Security office. The regular city, county, and state ordinances are in effect on the campus also.
Moomau said that a high degree of co-operation exists between the campus police and other law enforcement agencies in the area. "We give and get 100 per cent co-operation from all the various law enforcement agencies," Moomau said.
TO KEEP IN touch with the local crime situation and insure close co-operation with these other agencies, Moomau meets with representatives of the Sheriff's Department, Lawrence City Police, Highway Patrol and FBI members. Unsolved KU cases, usually petty thefts, are reported

Most campus policemen have had outside experience in police work, Moomau said. He is a veteran of years of experience in Wichita and on the Kansas Highway Patrol.
ALL CAMPUS police officers are trained in general police work, Moomau said. They are required to attend the Kansas Police Officers Training School every July and attend classes during the In-Service-Training Program run by the department during semester breaks.
to these agencies to facilitate the solving of these cases through inter-agency co-operation.
While a campus policeman is patrolling the streets giving traffic tickets, he is also on the alert for any danger to the life and property of the student and KU, for there is no clear division between the traffic and security functions of the Campus Police, Moomau said.
Finals Bring Dishonesty Out
ONE STUDENT owned a unique watch. It had two shafts drilled into it. Miniature notes appeared on a paper scroll when he "wound" his watch.
It's that time of year again—the time when students resort to cheating.
In the past, many ingenious plans and devices have been developed to help students pass examinations.
7
He was expelled, however, when an examiner noticed how often the watch required winding.
THE CLUMSY CHEATER is usually caught quickly. Sometimes it takes longer for the more clever one.
Cheaters work long and hard to find methods which will aid them; many times they work longer and harder than it would have taken to study for the exam.
THE PERFECT CHEATER is as rare as the perfect student. The odds are against the cheater. Most of the conventional methods used to cheat are well known to examiners.
As the cheater advances (in hours, not in knowledge), his chance of getting caught increases. Usually the size of the class decreases and it becomes more difficult to cheat.
Undoubtedly, as long as examinations are given, students will continue to devise methods of cheating, but, in the long run, the one who is cheated is the cheater.
