Munch, he said the mess made sense to him.
"People tend to think there's no method to the madness, but there is." Dunlap said.
Dunlap doesn't let a little mess deter visitors. He always keeps his door open.
Dunlap, as vice president, welcomes many people to his office, including student senators.
He helps them create legislation ranging from funding the Concrete Canoe Club to suggestions for administrators about the tuition increase.
The poster that hangs most prominently in Dunlap's office is of Gandalf and Frodo, a character in Lord of the Rings.
But for Dunlap, some legislation is personal.
It honors a piece of legislation he sponsored: He created and asked Senate for funding Fellowship of the ring, a group of which he is president.
Jeff Dunlap, Leawood senior, said his office was still a work in progress. He said the pile of binders and papers on the floor made sense to him. He tacked his pillow to the wall because it clashed with the couch and likes it best when other senators and students are visiting him.

Anschutz Library.
Bailey also suggested that students use the safety resources available on campus, such as Jay-Walk.
JayWalk is a service provided by Student Senate that provides students with a male and female escort while walking on campus at night.
Bailey said that better lighting, more blue emergency phones and new programs, such as JayWalk, were available because the University wanted to keep people safe.
He encourages students to use the available safety resources especially the phones.
"The blue phones are underutilized. We wish they were used more." Bailey said.

STUDENT SAFETY
Ways students can improve their own safety:
1. Don't walk, jog or run alone,
especially at night.

2. Don't take shortcuts through poorly lit areas.
3. Don't leave property unattended.
SAFETY: Resources available
4. Don't leave blinds or curtains open.
5. Don't leave doors unlocked, even in apartments or residence halls.
6. Don't leave vehicles unlocked.
7. Don't drink alcohol, or drink in moderation. Alcohol impairs judgment.
8. Never accept a drink from a stranger.
9. Use transportation and escort options:

Established in 1989 after William Kemper's death, the foundation is focused on a goal of improving life. A seven-member panel selection committee determines the winners.
KEMPER: Surprise Patrol plans to give 13 more teaching awards
The awards are funded by $500,000 from the William T. Kemper Foundation-Commerce Bank and $500,000 in matching funds from the KU Endowment Association. Hemenway said he was pleased that, after the 10 year grant expires, the University would have invested $1 million in teaching.
10:30 p.m. to 2:45 a.m.
The funding could be renewed for longer if all three contributing parties can raise the money, Hemenway said.

G. Douglas Atkins, professor of English, was another unsuspecting recipient.
"This is probably the most important thing that's happened to me in 35 years of teaching." Arkins said.
He said the award was especially rewarding for him, as he had been through a tough time with the death of his mother.
When the award has meaning in teachers' personal as well as professional lives, it makes presenting the awards particularly enjoyable. Hemenway said.
"It should be a reminder to students that their professors are working under pressures they don't know about." Hemenway said.
Philip Barnard, associate professor of English, said his colleague was a seasoned professional and successfully fulfilled all of the administrative duties of teaching, scholarship and service.

Anthony Corbeill, profes sor of classics

department member for many years," Barnard said. "He's put in a long duty."
Hemenway said the awards symbolized how important the teachers are to the University.
The patrol planned to continue to hand out awards all day.
The patrol will continue to hand out awards to the 13 remaining recipients, and plans to distribute all the awards before the end of September.
One of yesterday's recipients, Paul Atchley, professor of psychology, said the award affirmed his decision to teach at this University as opposed to the University of Illinois, where he considered teaching. He said the award was a challenge as well as an honor.
"KU truly values teaching and teaching excellence," Atchley said. "Now I have something to live up to."
