The library's attempt to install a new transformer this weekend failed, and no other date has been scheduled yet to replace the transformer. Watson was scheduled to be closed from noon Friday to noon yesterday for the replacement. Watson has been operating on a generator since Oct. 30, a day after the library closed early because a transformer blew. Bob Porter, associate director of facilities operations, said he did not know when the transformer would be replaced. He said Lyons-based Lyons Electric, which sold the transformer, was contacted and would check the transformer's problem. Porter said that if the Lyons transformer was broken, the replacement would take longer because KU facilities operations would have to search for another transformer. The generator uses 22 gallons of fuel each hour of operation, and each gallon costs 67 cents, totaling about $314 per day. Porter estimated that the University had spent more than $5,200 on the generator. The Lyons transformer cost $6,000. The Lyons transformer cost $10,000. Rob Melton, libraries publication coordinator, said that he did not know whether the transformer was working but that he would have more information today. Because of safety reasons, the library will have to be closed for about 48 hours when the new transformer is installed, Porter said. With finals and project deadlines approaching, some students are concerned about when the library will close again. "If they need to close it again, I think they should close it during Thanksgiving break," said Julia Santi, Mahtomedi, Minn., sophomore. "Definitely. The weekend after Thanksgiving wouldn't be a good time." Kathleen Darragh, Chicago junior, said that it would not bother her if Watson needed to be closed again. "Students should use their weeknights to come here and get their work done ahead of time," she said. "That is what I did." This chart is the final element in the Kansan's 10-part series about the goals and achievements of the University since Chancellor Robert Hemenway came to the University in 1995. In the grid, student, faculty and staff leaders examine the University's progress in 10 different areas and assign letter grades. The grades range from an A, which signifies excellence in a given area, to F, which signifies a failure of the University to meet that goal. University Report Card Grades are given in the this order. 1. Recruit more minority students and faculty. 2. Increase research funding to $120 million. 4. Recruit 100 freshmen national student each year. 4. Enhance the Regents Center at Edwards Campus. 6. Ensure a quality international experience for students and faculty, including study abroad, teaching abroad or research fellowships. 4. Enhance the Regents Center at Eauclair Campus. 5.

Some KU students headed to Manhattan for the evening, not to celebrate with KSU fans, but to take advantage of the party atmosphere. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. **Saman Yoder** Student, Body President "I think the University is doing an OK job of taking initiative in the some areas, but many times the University has left others out of the decision-making process, particularly students." **Sally Frost Mason** Dean of College Liberal Arts and Sciences "In terms of having more women, one-half of all the hires in the last eight years have been women. It takes a long time to change, but if we keep doing this, then over a 20-year period we'll reach our goal." **Sherwood Thompson** Director of Minority Affairs "There needs to be a broader funding base to allow students to study abroad. This can enhance diversity for overseas opportunities and allow more choices for overseas study locations." **Rita Napier** Associate Professor of History "The streamline made more money available, but we lost valuable staff members at the same time. I don't personally believe that machines and technology should be valued over people." **Isabel Defeo** Graduate Teaching Assistant in French from Paris, France "I've noticed a lot of construction to make the campus look better, but to me that's useless. I'd rather see the money go toward other programs." **Sarah Fletcher** Shawnee junior "I'm very pleased with KU Med at this point. The hospital switch to the public authority has been very positive, and it's being taken more seriously. There has been a step up in attitude, and they're moving in the right direction." "We saw on the news that they had closed off Aggieville, kind of going for that Mardi Gras style," said Adam Kruse, Wichita junior. "We didn't have anything better to do, so we went to party."

Following a 40-30 victory against Nebraska, K-State fans turned Manhattan into the place to be. down goal-post was paraded around the town and Aggieville was blocked off for the occasion. "It was totally out of control when we got there," he said. "The place was crazy, and police were everywhere." Duncan said that he had fun, but because there were so many people, it was hard to get into the bars. Matt Duncan, Olathe junior, said that he and three friends also made the road trip to Manhattan Saturday night. Kruse said that he would have gone for the game, too, but tickets were scaled for up to $500. "It's pretty cool that K-State won, but I don't really care," Kruse said. "I just wanted to party." According the Kansas State Collegian, there were more than 50 alcohol-related offences reported in Riley County Saturday night and early Sunday morning. With additional protection from a team of KU Public Safety officers, police worked to enforce Aggleville's no-alcohol policy. The Riley County police department had its hands full with the football hoopla. The Collegian also confirmed that street signs had been torn down around Manhattan but that there had been no major disturbances or injuries as a result. Estimates of the cost of replacing the torn-down goalpost and the exact number of police on duty "Those announcers were awful," he said. "They kept saying the K-State Jayhawks instead of the Wildcats. They couldn't figure it out." Kruse also said that KU spirit was prevalent, even during the Manhattan parties. "We walked past a house party near Aggieville, and we heard a bunch of people singing the Rock Chalk Chant," he said. "Don't you just love KU fans?" KU professor files suit against fellow teacher University, Regents involved in action By Keith Burner Kansan staff writer A University of Kansas professor has filed suit against the University, the Kansas Board of Regents and another KU professor, claiming harassment. According to the suit, Dimitrios Dendrinos is taking legal action because of assaults, both physical and verbal, that he said he had endured since 1987 at the University. He became a faculty member in 1975. Dendrinos, professor of architecture and urban design, would not comment. Andrew Marquardt, his Lenexa attorney, could not be reached for comment. In the suit, filed Oct. 22 in Douglas County District Court, Dendrinos claimed that he had received threats and insults, some of which were ethnic slurs, from fellow professor James Mayo and other department members. Neither Mayo nor his lawyer could be reached for comment. John Gaunt, dean of architecture and urban design, said that he had ample time to observe conflicts between Mayo and Dendrinos. but would not comment on specifics. "It's a lawsuit that I haven't seen," he said. "I'm well aware of the relationship between the two, but I don't think it's appropriate to discuss it at this time." Dendrinos, a native of Greece, is suing on 10 separate counts, ranging from assault to defamation, and is asking for $750,000. This is not the first legal action taken by Dendros against Mayo. Lawrence police said that last year, Dendrin reported that he was the victim of a battery at the hands of Mayo, but the incident could not be proven or completely verified by witnesses. Mayo was not charged. in the lawsuit, Dendrinards claims that he then reported the incident to the University, which responded by not giving him promotions and raises due him, but by giving him poor performance evaluations and by adding unreasonably to his course load. According to the Fall 1998 Timetable of classes, Dendrinos is teaching two courses this semester. Rose Marino, KU associate general counsel, could not be reached for comment. The lawsuit also claims that Mayo is a violent man and that University administrators knew about it but failed to provide a safe working environment for Dendrinos. The lawsuit also includes allegations of intimidation, civil-rights violations and infliction of emotional distress. Diwali festival lights up night By Chad Bettes Kansan staff writer The Kansas Union Ballroom came alive with a rainbow of colors and lively song and dance Saturday night as about 250 people celebrated East Indian culture and the Hindu holiday of Diwali. Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is based on Hindu mythology in which good triumphs against evil. It commemorate the victory of good, Hindus light up the night once a year on Diwali. Traditional holiday activities include lighting lanterns and firecrackers, partaking of feasts and reveling at parties. Many Hindus also observe Diwali with religious ceremonies and prayers. The KU Cultural India Club organized the Diwali activities at the University of Kansas. Students and faculty, as well as community members, were invited to participate in a dinner at Ecumenical Christian Ministries and the festival in the union ballroom. Murali Yellepeddy, Rajahmundry, India, graduate student and club vice president, said that Diwali actually was on Oct. 19 this year, but that the club chose to celebrate the day later. He hoped the events would help connect the Indian population here and connect the culture with the community. There were more than 100 Indian students at the University in 1997. "There is just a real joy and happiness with this holiday," Yellepeddy said.
