Cars, Cars, Cars Weekend Brings Huge Jams

"We suffer for their pleasure," said one unidentified Campus policeman humorously while working overtime during one of the many hectic periods of traffic direction in the Homecoming weekend.
The campus Traffic and Security Office had to holdover officers from previous shifts, call up the auxiliary, and use members of the dormitory police, which is a separate division from the Traffic and Security Office, to handle the huge amount of traffic on campus during Homecoming.
Numbers of Campus Police vary according to traffic needs but about 15 regular Campus Police were on duty during the periods of heaviest traffic congestion. There were "Thousands and Thousands" of cars on the campus during the weekend, E. P. Moomau, Traffic and Security Chief, said. He stated that he had no way of knowing how many cars were on campus during specific periods.
"If we can control the critical areas, the specific areas that we know we have trouble in, then we can control the general traffic situation pretty well," said Lt. E. W. Fenstemaker, one of the Campus Police dispatchers, Friday.
He added that the traffic situation, especially during Homecoming, is especially fluid. Certain displays draw more cars than others thus causing a reassignment of traffic officers. Captain Willard Anderson of the campus police, roamed the campus in a mobil unit making these reassignments as they were needed.
"We try to carry on the normal traffic situation as far as possible even with the additional traffic," said LT. Fenstemaker. "We utilize
the auxiliary so as to free regular Campus police for other situations." Regular routine matters such as enforcement and security patrols were taken care of through the utilization of the Auxiliary which is composed of certain members of the Buildings and Grounds Bureau.
Homecoming, the Council for Progress, the production of "My Fair Lady," and the KU-Kansas State football game, drew crowds
and "cars and cars and cars," according to another campus policeman.
For events such as the football game and the Council for Progress meeting, other law enforcement agencies helped in traffic direction. The Highway Patrol provided motorized escorts for the Council for Progress meeting and directed football traffic on critical thoroughfares such as Iowa St. (U.S. 59 highway).
