Hemenway gives input on parking
Chancellor attends board meeting, gives advice on master plan
By Sarah Wlese
Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Memenway seems to show up in the most interesting places. Sequestered in an ivory tower he is not.
He made an appearance yesterday at a parking board meeting. Don Kearns, director of parking services, said it was the first time a chancellor had attended a parking board meeting since he came to the University of Kansas in 1977.
"He listened to what we had to say and shared a lot of his thoughts with us," he said. "You can't ask for anything better than that."
Hemenway came at the invitation of the board to discuss his views on parking issues.
He didn't claim to be an expert on parking. Instead, he came with an open mind.
"My experience with parking is it's kind of a pressure point on any campus," Hemenway said. "People never feel there's enough of it."
Topics at the meeting included parking's place in the campus master plan, what to do about Jayhawk Boulevard and problems with visitor parking.
Parking's place in the master plan was not very well defined, said Stevie Case, Olathe sophomore and board member.
Hemenway said that theplan should be flexible and that parking concerns would be ironed out.
"I think of it as a process to a master plan," he said. "It's a form of survey, if you will."
Hemenway said he did not have strong feelings about either a parkand-ride system or an additional parking garage, which are options in the master plan.
Deb Walker, board member, asked Hemenway what he thought about closing Jayhawk Boulevard.
He hadn't formed an opinion, he said, but felt that the boulevard was a community thoroughfare, not just a street that traverses campus.
Though the attractive aspects of campus help recruit students to KU, the parking situation for visitors can have the opposite effect. All visitors have to pay to park and are restricted as to which lots they can park in.
"People have a very positive feeling about KU and its beauty and history and tradition," Hemenway said. "I think Jayhawk Boulevard is a big part of that."
"If they have to go through a huge hassle just to get on campus, they might not come to the University of Kansas," Hemenway said.
Joe Collins, board member, said visitors should not be ticketed because they are unfamiliar with parking policies.
"They're never going to understand our policies," Collins said.
ON CAMPUS
Case said Hemenway recognized that gathering information on parking issues was important.
"I think he wants to make sure that when he makes a decision, it's an informed decision, and that's important," Case said.

Two sentences in an article about Scot Pollard in Wednesday's Kansan need clarification. Along with rehabilitating his right shoulder, Pollard spent most of the offseason strengthening his body and improving his basketball skills. Despite the hard work, Pollard still was frustrated that he was not at 100 percent.
