The carillon in the Campanile will be repaired with money from the Bunnel Restoration Fund.
Donation assures future for campanile's carillon
By Cathy Garrard

Many KU students rely on the quarter-hourly chimes of the KU carillon to tell time, and thanks to a new system, asamas, the bells will continue to ring.
Keith and Joan Bunnel of Pittsburgh contributed $425,000 last semester to restore the carillon, which has needed repair since 1984. It was added by the 120-foot World War II Memorial Campanile on Memorial Drive.
Campaign Kansas is the University's five-year, $177 million fundraising, which began July 2004 and unspurred its goal in January 1991.
Keith Bunnel, a 1946 graduate living in Pittsburgh, served on a committee that planned the original construction of the war memorial. The Campanile was dedicated May 27, 1951.
"Our hope is that the carillon will continue to bring a sense of peace to all those who hear it over the years to come and that they will be those to whom it is dedicated," he said in a prepared statement.
Albert Gerken, the University's carillonne since 1963, said that the instrument was beautiful but too much and made it more difficult to play.
"It is one of the finest instruments of its kind in the country." Gerken said. "The bells still are fine, as far as I can tell, but the playing mechanism in the keyboard is worn out. It affects the sound. The bells don't ring properly."
Gerken said the instrument was played by hitting large wooden batons, or keys, with both the feet and closed fists, similar to playing a piano. The 33 cast bronze bells weigh from 10 pounds to 7 pounds.
Gerken said the donation would pay for two keyboards, clappers for the bells and restoration of the entire playing mechanism. The beams in the bell tower also will be cleaned and refurbished.
The carillon renovation is scheduled to be completed by next summer. The exact cost of the repair has not been determined.
The Bunnel's donation created the Keith and Joan Bunnel Restoration Fund at the Kansas University Endowment Association. Any money not used for the carillon's immediate repair will be put in a future maintenance. The fund will left open for other contributions.
Other recent donations to Campaign Kansas include;
A $50,000 general-use fund from A. Allen and Lillias Sebaugh of Woodland Hills, Calif.
A $30,000 scholarship fund from
John Shumway of Prairie Village

The family said he was threatening to use the knife on himself
In response to the death of a Lawrence man who was killed by police in April, the City Commission voted unanimously to pass a law for the Lawrence police department.
The man, Gregory Sevier, 22, was killed April 21. His family said it thought the two police officers who shot him did not follow correct police procedure when trying to take away a knife he was holding.
The panel will review the use-of force policies of the police department, including its training and recruitment procedures. The panel also indicated June 24, will be organizational and will provide basic information about
uise department's policies. The pars will make recommendations for changes to the department in four to eight weeks.
Mike Wildgen, city manager, said the job of the panel was to make an objective review of the department by people outside the department.
John Nalbandian, city commissioner, said, "It's bald because it goes beyond the desire to simply do business toward the police department."
The panel will include Mike Tosez, Haskell Indian Junior College professor and former FBI agent, Bob Wesley, Kansas City, Mo. police chief, Jackie McClain, KU humanresource director; and Darrel Stehens, former Lawrence police chief.
The panel is the first official step aken by the commission in response
to Sevier's death.
In other business, the commission approved an increase in the commissioners' annual salary from $3,600 to $6,000.
Schumm said he spent from 15 to 25 hours a week at his commission job, which justified a pay increase.
Shrieley Martin-Smith, city commissioner, said. "We somehow have to care for people's expenses in their private lives, but we don't want it to go so high that this is a person's permanent job."
"If we're going to this position up to each and every person in Lawrence, I think there should be some pay commensurate with the number of hours it takes." Bob Summ, city commissioner, said.
Nalbandian voted against the pay increase
County foots cost of JCCC
By Renee Bazin
Special to the Kansan
Most KU students who take classes at Johnson County Community College this summer do not realize that county residents pay part of their bills.
“It’s a constant source of irritation,” said Chris McKenzie, Douglas County administrator. “The fastest growing budget in Douglass County is the community-college out-district tuition, and we have no control over it.”
Because the state requires counties without community colleges to pay $24 a credit hour for community-college classes their residents take, Douglas County pays for part of KU students' JCCC tuition, no matter what county the students call home, McKenzie said.
KU students are billed the remaining $28 a credit hour.
JCCC officials said that last semester Douglas County paid part of the tuition for 900 to 1,000 people who were enrolled in the school. About 300 of those were KU students.
The college did not determine how many of the 300 KU students lived in Douglas County before attending KU.
Douglas County paid $111,060 to JCCC last year. About $30,000 was for KU students.
McKenzie said that the 300 KU students who attended JCCC would not be considered Douglas County residents for the state census but that Douglas County had an obligation to pay part of their tuition expenses.
"It's a hard pill to swallow." Mike Amyx, Douglas County commissioner, said. "Yet it's a mandate that we deal with the fact that just got totally out of control."
"I would support anything to help control this item in the budget," he
said.
Jill Thatcher, Overland Park junior, was surprised to learn that Douglas County was billed for classes she had taken at JCCC
"I can't believe that because Douglas County doesn't have a community college they have to pay for their residents to take classes at JCCC." Thatacher said. "I consider myself a resident because I spent most of my time there and but I don't think it is completely fair that Douglas County has to pay."
Patricia Long, JCCC director of admissions and records, said that many KU students attended JCCC and need to get to classes they needed at KU.
Meg Henson, Topea senior, said that she could not get into an English class she wanted at KU but that she would attend JCCC and the class at JCCC the first time she tried.

First, you call Domino's Pizza. Second, you place an order for one of their No Coupon Specials. Then you go on with your life until the delivery arrives within 30 minutes. Next you tear open the box, letting steam rise to the occasion. Finally, you dish out one beautiful piece after another, turning your pizza into History 129. But the Domino's Effect doesn't stop there. Eventually it becomes an addiction, a perpetual notion to call Domino's and start the cycle all over again.
