KU buys Speedgun
The KU police have acquired a new tool to help them reduce traffic problems here—the
The hand-held device is a new version of the older units, which were set in the windows of police patrol cars, Major Bob Ellison of the KU police said yesterday.
Ellison said the new device, Speedgun I, caught the attention of more drivers. It is more obvious when in use, he said, but it is just as effective as the older models.
The Speedmum I was purchased in July for about $600.
"We've had several requests from
various groups, such as the AURH (Association of University Residence Halls), to slow traffic down, especially during game days," Ellison said.
The breakdown of a previous, older radar unit and the sale of another set that the county sheriff's office had loaned to the KU system is an indication to buy the Speedgun I, Ellison said.
Before anyone has entered KU's Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon, the stadium maintenance crew has been hard working and grounds preparing it for that week's game.
The only problem so far with the hand-held radar is that it requires special training to use, he said, though most of the officers of the KU police now know how to use it.
Stadium cleanup big production
"I's really a big production," Norm Stewart, foreman of the seven-man cleanup corps, said yesterday. "We can't afford to take this one away if there are back-to-back home games."
Stewart said the crew was even on standby during the games, just in case they had to stay.
TWO WEEKS AGO, leaking gas was detected in a women's restroom during the game. The crew found and fixed the leak before anyone was endangered, he said.
"I have to know where everyone is at any given time, so we don't caught out of it."
Preparation for the next home game begins immediately after each Saturday's game. Members of the Lawrence Boys Club pick up large debris, cups and bottles left in the stadium. Part-time help is also used on game days to make sure all gates are open before kickoff. Team members need to secure the field from fans who might try to take some of the endzone markers.
THE BULK OF the work done during the week is picking up trash in the stadium area.
"Blowing all the trash out of the stands and picking it up takes about three days, unless the wind is blowing hard. Then you have to go around and rid of all the have to go around and get rid of all the
Trash on the grounds adjacent to the stadium is picked up by a separate team.

liquor bottles. There are usually quite a few of those."
"We're on overtime a lot just pick it in he said. "Sometimes we have come in on overtime."
STEWART SAID the press box is usually one of the first stadium rooms cleaned and cleaned up.
"We clean the visitors," officials" and the home teams' dressing rooms Friday because the track teams are using them the rest of the time. After we've picked up all the trash on the field, we just have to vacuum it to get it ready," he said.
THE LAST THING done before the game is delivering the golf carts from the Lawrence County golf course to the press box in their use in getting to the press box from the parking lots, he said.
"Everything is usually ready at the stadium by 9:30 Saturday morning."
Most of the crew at the stadium is involved in other maintenance work on the campus during the week, so their time at the stadium must be put to good use, he said.
"Then if things still go wrong or something gets broken, we have to be there to fix it," Stewart said.
