Workers groom campus to keep grounds neat
Campus to stay beautiful
Walking in front of Strong Hall always brings a smile to the face of Sarah Hertlein, Topeka junior.
By Dave Breitenstein Kansan staff writer
Not because she sees a friend, but because she sees the campus.
"I love the area in front of Strong. It's a nice, big grassy area," Hertlein said.
For people like Hertlein, the flowers and grassy areas that make campus beautiful aren't entirely natural. Students can thank workers from facilities operations for the finely groomed campus.
Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations, said workers had been doing a good job around campus, despite being short staffed.
"We upcoming projects include cleaning up before and after football games," he said. "We are planting new flowers with fall colors, and the grass needs to be mowed more
He said facilities operations had the daily chore of cleaning up Kansans that were scattered on the ground, in addition to maintaining all academic buildings. They pick up litter, plant flowers, weed flower beds and do many other landscaping duties.
"We pretty much perform the gamut of landscaping," he said. "We do it all."
often."
"The campus entrances look really nice" he said.
Operating expenses for the fiscal year, beginning July 1, are estimated at $132,000. Another $625,000 pays salaries for facilities operations workers. A total of 415 workers are employed, and 27 specialize in landscaping.
Richardson also said facilities operations strove to keep the environment safe.
"We replace trees when they die. We pick up litter. We use very few pesticides," he said. "We've made taking care of trees a priority this year."
"Our goal for recycling is not to make a profit, but to pay some expenses. We are trying to stay even," he said.
richardson said the department recycled grass clippings, leaves, motor oil, batteries, antifreeze, scrap metal and tree limbs. They also recycle office paper, aluminum cans and newspapers.
Richardson said the money that facilities operations received for recycling was put back into the department. He said aluminum can recycling paid for students' wages.
years. It's ingrained in our occupation that you should recycle," he said. "The resources are available for recycling; now we just have to find a place to take them to."
"We've been recycling for many
Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services, said he was pleased with the work of facilities operations. He said that despite the weather, they were doing a great job.
Eakin said that there was a landscaping master plan and that facilities operations would carry out that plan soon. The plan includes transit and parking changes on Jayhawk Boulevard and and a pedestrian corridor between Murphy and Malott Halls.
Herbal drugs offer an alternative cure
By Ashleigh Roberts Kansan staff writer
"We are trying to reinvest in campus beautification with the master plan," he said. "We want to recreate the character and feel for the KU campus."

As hayfever strikes campus, some students turn to herbal drugs instead of conventional medicine.
Homeopathy, the use of herbal drugs instead of pharmaceuticals, has been practiced for more than 300 years, said Hal Sears, herb and vitamin specialist at the Community Mercantile, 901 Mississippi St.
"Homeopathy is based on the idea that like cures like," Sears said. "If you have a rash then you would take a small dose of poison oak. The body in some mysterious way picks up on this and uses it for its own defenses."
People often begin practicing homeopathy because they have had bad experiences with conventional medicine, Sears said.
"They would like to believe there is an herbal alternative out there," he said. "Sometimes there is, and sometimes there isn't."
At this time, Sears sees a lot of students suffering from hayfever.
"They come into the store and their eyes are streaming, and their nose is stuffed up, but they have been to the doctor and had mixed results," Sears said. "Herbal medicine provides them with another option."
Jenel Farrell, Fairway junior, said she liked herbal medicine, because it was natural.
"It's not a big chemical composition that is stuck in some pill," she said. "It makes me feel good, and it's a lot cheaper than prescription medicines."
"I usually don't feel very comfortable with a doctor, because I didn't go to them on a regular basis as I was growing up," she said.
Gilisa Gould, Wichita freshman, was raised on homeopathic medicine.
Gould said she thought homeopathy made more sense because people had more control and knowledge of what they took.
But to gain that knowledge, consumers need education, Sears said.
"You should always ask questions, and read the books they have on herbs," he said. "It's hard to be your own doctor, and you should always get medical advice."
"People are always looking for the fountain of youth," he said. "It sounds mysterious and weird, and it's cheap, so why not try it?"
But that attitude can be dangerous, Sears said.
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that alternative medicines, like homeopathy, had their place.
"The problem is getting the right diagnosis and therapy, and there is little quality control," he said.
Neighbors have no greek disruptions
By Megan Jordan Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
The thought of living next to a fraternity or sorority house may conjure up horrible images of naked college men, loud music, toilet paper and beer cans. But many Lawrence residents who share neighborhoods with greek chapter houses have few complaints.
"They call and say, 'Let us know if we bother you or if you need any help,' she said.
"I've enjoyed it," said Alice Schwegler, who has lived near the Delta Chiatri for 42 years.
She said that 30 years ago men had been much louder and more wild than they are today.
Fraternity members rake her leaves in the fall, shovel snow in the winter and invite her family to dinner once a year.
They used to streak a lot, she said, but they don't do it anymore around here.
It is simply a misconception that fraternities make bad neighbors, she said.
Barbara Carswell, who has lived across from two sororities for 13 years, agrees.
"For the most part, they are good neighbors," Carswell said. "There is one week of rush when there is lots of traffic and lots of singing, but we know it is going to happen, and it doesn't last long."
Carswell said she never had had any qualms about moving into the area. The greek system is an important part of the university, she said.
"The girls have the same rights we do as neighbors," Carswell said. "Anytime they are tee-ped or have a party, the girls are always real good about cleaning up the neighborhood."
"I don't think they infringe on the neighborhood. It's no different than living across from a dorm or any other large living group."
Carswell said she communicated little with the sororites beyond friendly hellos.
"But I'm the kind of person who would not hesitate to pick up the phone if something was bothering me," she said.
Isabelle Daniels, Kappa Delta sorority house mother, said she had never received any complaints from neighbors about her girls. Although the sorority has a positive relationship with its non-Greek neighbors, Daniels said it could never hurt to have more contact.
"I think that would be nice, but the people that live around us all have very busy lives, and I'm not sure they would be interested." Daniels said.
