PAGE 1
Girod was named to the position following an eight-month search to replace Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who will step down July 1 after eight years in the position. The Regents selected Girod from a list of recommendations made by a search committee, including student, staff, administrators and community members.
I think it's a good match. He has a great work ethic and really good appreciation for students, and faculty and staff."
David Dillon Chairman of search committee
"We wanted someone who would embrace the whole place, the whole university and the whole state, and I think he fits that really well," said David Dillon, chair of the search committee.
Dillon said he is thrilled by Girod's appointment because Girod's experience as vice chancellor gives him an appreciation for the University and its work with students, the state and research.
"I think it's a good match." Dillon said. "He has a great work ethic and really good appreciation for students, and faculty and staff."
Before becoming the vice chancellor of the Medical Center, Girod worked there as a faculty member since 1994, according to his biography on the Medical Center's website. Girod specializes in head and neck surgery, and previously served as a department head, associate dean and interim dean at the Medical Center. A veteran of the Navy Reserve, Girod previously worked at the Naval Medical Center in Oakland California.

a sustainable way. According to Ball, these changes include better documenting volunteer training practices and enhancing the restaurant style experience that the cafe is known for.
"We are starting by identifying the ongoing challenges of Jubilee Cafe," Ball said. "Then defining what we believe a healthy, sustainable Jubilee Cafe would look like in the future."
The CCO and University are both a large part of the cafe's future, Phalen
said. The redesign team will continue to work with the CCO to reopen the cafe as soon as possible, though it is currently set to open in mid-August.
"Jubilee is such an important resource in our community, both as a source of food and of belonging for so many people," Phalen said. "Our organization is strongly committed to working to reopen Jubilee as soon as we can."
More than food and belonging for those who eat at the cafe, she added, the program provides an opportunity for University students to get involved in the Lawrence community.

Katie Phalen Executive director of CCO
"Jubilee Cafe has always been one of the CCO's more popular volunteer programs," Phalen said. "So closing its doors will take
away some of those volunteer opportunities from students."
During the estimated two months that Jubilee Cafe is scheduled to be closed, Phalen said, she hopes both volunteers and those in need of a hot meal know there are other options.
"To any clients of Jubilee Cafe who are looking for alternate food sources, we recommend visiting Just Food, Douglas County's major food bank, open five days a week." Phalen said.
The Just Food food bank is located on 1000 E 11th St.

Robertson said, shows the need for a community like this one.
"We've talked about it over the years but never had a sense that there was a particular interest or need yet. When it began to percolate from the students, before it was mostly our staff wondering if we should do it," Robertson said. "Finally it was our students saying, 'Hello, we want this,' and that's when we're going to act on it."
"Having a single room was cool, but it did suck that I missed the opportunity to live with a roommate all because I couldn't find someone who was open-minded," Wantling said. "Especially because once I got to KU I met a lot of open-minded people that said, 'Oh, I would have lived with you had I

tance.
"I had a lot of people turn me down just because of my sexuality," Wantling said. "I had one girl who said, 'My mom doesn't want me to live with anyone that's gay,' and another one that was like, 'Well, my boyfriend might have a problem with that.'"
The creation of the GIH wing, Robertson said, is one step toward removing hurdles like those faced by students

Editor's Note: This story is the third in a series of stories looking at the way concealed carry on campus will look once it goes into effect July 1.
In response to the arrival of concealed weapons on July 1 as a result of a 2013 state law, professors are taking steps to adjust their teaching style, class content, office hours or even seeking employment elsewhere.
carry on campus. As the University prepares to shift to an environment where students are legally allowed to bring concealed handguns to class, this will be just one of many preparations.
Aerospace engineering professor Ron Barrett Gonzalez, president of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said this is because many faculty members are concerned that concealed carry will have a chilling effect in classrooms.
