The drills will be conducted in residence halls, scholarship halls and lahwaker Towers.
There will be unannounced fire drills for on-campus housing sometime during the first 10 days of the semester, according to a statement from Diana Robertson, student housing director.
Evacuation routes are posted on the back of each student's room door, and assembly areas are designated. KU Public Safety and the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical services will give the "all clear" for students to return
to their residences. With an un-
planned alarm, vehicles from both
agencies are dispatched to the
building.
The University is performing the drills to comply with regulations from the Kansas State Fire Marshall and the International Fire Code, which requires two fire drills per building per semester.
Drills are held to allow residents and staff to practice the evacuation process, reinforce the urgency of following safety procedures and offer an opportunity to test fire safety equipment.

UDK ranks sixth in poll

The Princeton Review ranks Universities across the country in a wide variety of categories, from academics to the quality of student life.
Penn State's Daily Collegiate topped the list at No.1. Student papers at UNC, Chapel Hill,
The University Daily Kansan is the sixth-best college newspaper in the country, according to this year's Princeton Review surveys.
Yale, Brown, and University of Wisconsin-Madison followed. Student papers at major journalism schools like the University of Missouri, Columbia University, and University of Southern California were missing entirely from the list.
The University also made the top 20 for its college radio and its sports.
KJHK, the University's student-run radio, ranked at No.16, and the University was listed at the No. 12 "Jock School," in the country, topping Kansas State, which was listed at No.14.
The Princeton Review lists don't say much about why the schools were chosen, but the Daily Collegian at Penn State was reporting from the center of a huge controversy last year over the firing of former football coach Joe Paterno and the prosecution of former coach Jerry Sandusky for sexual abuse.
As for the University Daily Kansan, it unveiled a redesigned website, Kansan.com, this year.
Rep. Akin remains in race for Senate
Edited by Luke Ranker
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri Rep. Todd Akin renewed his vow to carry on with his embattled Senate campaign Tuesday, even as a key deadline loomed to withdraw from the race over his comments that women's bodies can prevent pregnancies in cases of "legitimate rape."
In an effort to salvage his bid against incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill, Akin insisted the uproar regarding his remarks was an overreaction to misusing "one word in one sentence on one day"
For the second time in two days, Akin appeared on former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's radio show to say he planned to stay in the race, despite constant urging from members of his own party to step aside.
But the damage had been done. His comments drew a sharp rebuke from fellow Republicans, including presumptive presidential nominee
"I guess my question is: Is there a matter of some justice here?" Akin asked. After his original statement, "all of a sudden, overnight, everybody decides, 'Well, Akin can't possibly win.' Well, I don't agree with that."
Mitt Romney and his vice presidential choice, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
President Barack Obama said Monday that Akin's comments underscore why politicians — most of whom are men — should not make health decisions on behalf of women.
One anti-abortion group expressed support for Akin, while another called on him to step aside.
"Rape is rape," Obama said. And the idea of distinguishing among types of rape "doesn't make sense to the American people and certainly doesn't make sense to me."
Missouri Right to Life, which opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest, said Akin's "consistent defense of innocent unborn human life clearly contrasts" with McCaskill's position.
If Akin were to leave, state law gives the Republican state committee two weeks to name a replacement. The new candidate must file within 28 days of Akin's exit.
But the Christian Defense Coalition called on him to withdraw.
