New football facility to displace 20 spaces
>> ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Parking spaces displaced by the building of the new football practice facility south of Memorial Stadium will not be replaced one-for-one when replacement parking lots are built.
Lew Perkins, Kansas Athletics Director, told Student Senate the news last Wednesday in an open forum discussion with senators.
Parking lots near Memorial Stadium to lose parking spots, none to be added elsewhere
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, confirmed the information Friday afternoon and said an estimated 20 spaces would be lost.
"There is no discussion right now of
trying to put any additional spaces anywhere else" Hultine said.
Hultine said initially the parking department and the Athletics Department believed they could maintain the same number of spaces, but when engineers began to look at the site, the hill made the idea impossible.
Construction plans called for portions of lots 91, 92 and 93, located southeast of Memorial Stadium, to be converted into two football practice fields. New office space would also be built in a portion of lot 59 near Potter Lake.
Representatives from the Athletics Department could not be reached for
comment on Friday.
According to a press release, the new facility will be named the Anderson Family Football Complex. The Anderson family contributed $2 million and pledged an additional $10 million to the project.
The total cost of the complex is $31 million and will be paid for by private donations.

Lack of reasons disappoints Glover family
NEW JERSEY STREET FIRE
BY MARK VIERTHALER
He apologized to the Glover family for the lack of any concrete reason for the fire.
The cause of the Sept. 17 fire at 1205 New Jersey St. cannot be determined, the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical said after 70 leads and 60 interviews.
"Our investigators would like nothing more than to provide a conclusive result in this tragic loss, however, an undetermined cause is what our investigation has concluded," Bradford said.
At a press conference Friday, Mark Bradford, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical chief, said there was no evidence of criminal intent. Because of the extent of the damage and the lack of witnesses, Bradford said there was no way they could rule out malicious intent but there was no evidence to suggest it either.
Charles Glover, Jr., Glover's son, stood with his arms crossed as he silently bore the announcement that no cause could be determined, which he said offered no closure for the family.
The investigation revealed the source of the fire to have begun on the front porch and continued in towards to the house.
"We really didn't know what to expect," Glover said quietly. "We were just hoping to find something out."
Bradford said the large amounts of fire damage,fire fatalities and lack of witnesses made the investigation extremely difficult to reconstruct what actually took place that Sunday morning.
The announcement comes two weeks after the fire on New Jersey Street killed Charles Glover, Sr. and his grandchildren Mariya Johnson, 13 months; Nolan Vender, 13; Mario Johnson, 2 and Davonte Brockman, 11. His wife Learlear Hooks was the only survivor and was hospitalized.
Captain Dan Affalter with the Lawrence Police Department said he estimated more than 1,000 labor hours had been completed during the investigation.
The investigation is now closed.

A 10-year veteran Lawrence Police detective was identified Friday as the officer who shot and fatally wounded a Lawrence woman during a Sept. 24 standoff.
Police identify detective who shot Lawrence woman
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Detective Troy Squire shot Marsha Mace, 36, after she opened the front door of her trailer and fired at police who had been negotiating with her for more than four hours.
The Lawrence Police Department said in a news release that "all department policies for incident response were followed." The department's policy states that officers are permitted to use the amount of force necessary to prevent death or bodily harm to an officer. Squire had been placed on administrative leave, per policy, pending the outcome of the review.
Mace later died at a Kansas City hospital from her wounds.
The first officer on the scene was Kresten Spurling. Mace shot through a window as Spurling approached her trailer around 9 a.m.
More officers arrived at the scene, and negotiations were attempted. Mace opened her door at 1:23 p.m. and fired at officers. Police returned fire and Squire's shot hit Mace. Police Chief Ron Olin said that based on a note found at the scene, Mace may have wanted officers to shoot her.
The investigative report now goes to the Douglas County district attorney's office for a second review.
