Masks, prizes add fun to spooky movie
Film to give students a "Scream" on the hill
By Gwen Olson Kansan staff writer
Students are invited to a date with a psychopath featuring mystery, murder and mayhem - and it won't cost a thing.
Student Union Activities will present a free screening of Wes Craven's "Scream" beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday on Campanile hill as the 1997 Movie on the Hill.
"The screen will be up on the south end of the stadium," said Michelle Dennard, Chapman senior and SUA president. "As soon as it gets dark enough, we'll start the show."
Ana Calderon, Shawne senior and SUA feature film coordinator, warned students to be prepared for some added frights.
"We did try to find some masks to help liven things up. I would love it if people dressed up," she said.
Calderon said that people who wanted a good seat should arrive before 8 p.m. because she expected a good turnout for the show.
"Usually there's about 1,000 people there," she said. "It's always been kind of a winding down of Hawk Week."
Before the show begins, SUA members will hand out information about future events and other information about SUA. There will also be items given out to students who attend the screening, including T-shirts and key chains.
Students who work up an appetite or a thirst from their fear can get some refreshments during the show.
"We are still working on concessions, but we're going to at least serve soft drinks." Calderon said.

Calderon said that she felt this year's event would be a success.
"We usually show older movies, but this year we got a movie that is pretty new so it should be really fun," she said.

New officers add muscle to KU police department
Force to expand roster on Sept. 4
By Mary Corcoran
Kansan staff writer
The KU police department will be three men stronger Sept. 4 when new officers officially join the department.
After a six-year hiring hiatus because of budget cuts, KU police hired Officers Bryan Eklud, Chad Kleppin and John Vetter.
"The budget affected our ability to hire new people," said KU police Sgt. Chris Keary. "When people left we didn't fill the positions."
The police department had 35 officers in the early 1990s, Keary said. By June of this year, the department had waned to 24 officers.
The three new officers have been with the force since Aug. 4, but will not hit the streets until Sept. 4, Keary said. After that, they will complete a 12-week training period called rotation field training, in which they ride along with other KU police officers.
The department's hiring procedure begins with a help wanted ad placed in local newspapers. Interested parties take their applications to the human resources department in Carruth O'Leary Hall.
The applicants then must take a state-designed test. These test scores determine who the police department will interview.
The eight people the department decided to interview then took a behavioral analysis test to determine if they would be suited for jobs as University police officers, said Robert Harrington, professor of psychology, who administered the behavioral test.
After the psychological test, the recruits had another interview as well as a medical exam and a drug test.
Finally, department chief
Eklud, 26, comes to the department from a security job at a store in Topeka. He graduated from Washburn University with a degree in criminal justice.
Ralph Oliver reviewed the applications and determined which of the applicants would work for the University.
Kleppin, 25, comes from the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office. He also graduated Washburn University with a degree in criminal justice.
Vetter, 35, previously worked as a dispatcher at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Ga. He received police academy training in Georgia.
