Walking on campus at night is no big deal for Carolyn Schumm. She said she felt very safe at night because of good lighting and numerous police patrols.
By Dave Breltenstein
Kansan staff writer
Police make night walks safe
Schumm said she usually walked alone when she was going to study or attending a campus activity, and took no extra precautions since she did not worry about a stranger's attack.
"I usually walk a few times each week on campus when it's dark," said Schumm, Lawrence senior.
Students urged to be aware of their night environment
Last weekend, a female KU student was battered by a stranger while walking on campus. Police and the victim have not identified the suspect yet.
"I feel safe because of all the emergency phones and police constantly patrolling," she said.
Keary also said the Department of Public Safety had a security unit responsible for checking academic buildings that patrols campus.
"We never recommend pepper spray because there is always the possibility that it could be used against you. If it somehow falls into the other person's hands, you're in trouble."
Kennedy also said the
Even though Tufty has never seen anything unusual happen on campus, she said she always knew where the nearest emergency telephone was and already knew what she would do if a stranger confronted her.
KU police try to ensure that all students feel safe on campus at night, and they offer several tips for students to follow.
"I would go to the other side of the street and run." Tuffy said.
"I see police patrolling every time I'm out at night," Tufty said. "I feel safe because campus is well-lit and there are always cars going by."
All these safety measures ease the tension of Kristin Tufty, Overland Park senior.
Keary said there were some popular safety devices that he suggested not using.
"Be aware of your surroundings and approaching people. That's something you should do all the time—not just at night," said KU police Sgt. Chris Keary.
"People should walk with someone, walk in a well-lit areas and wear light clothing. "Keary said. "I also recommend noise-making devices. If someone hears it, they will go for help or call police."
Keary placed most of the responsibility for safety on the people walking through campus. Because police cannot see everything, he said, students must act if they fear they could be in danger.
pus are located in yellow boxes. There are 18 emergency telephones outdoors and 30 telephones inside buildings.
"We have officers in cars, on foot and on bicycle," he said. "We do the best we can to get all over campus, but we cannot be everywhere."
Keary said both KU police and Lawrence police extensively patrol campus at night.
"If anyone sees anything suspicious, they should give us a call. The yellow phones are called emergency phones, but people should use them if they see anything suspicious. We'd rather not have people leave to go find a pay phone," he said.
Lisa Paletta, St. Louis, Mo., senior, has had to run a few times. She said she did not feel safe on campus at

night and had been followed several times.
"I never walk alone at night. I will usually try to find a guy to walk with, because it is still dangerous to walk with another girl," Paletta said. "It's common knowledge that girls don't walk alone at night."
Paletta said that she sometimes avoided going out at night. She added that if she did not have a car, she probably would not go out late at all.
"I always try to park near the door and in a well-lit area, and I'll always keep my keys in my hand," she said.
Keaton's talents show multiplicity
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Michael Keaton's face is stretched in disbelief. The middle of his forehead creases, and those arching eyebrows merge into what looks like the wings of a bat ready to fly off his head.
"Look, you know what," he says emphatically, leaning forward in his chair. "Here's what no one realizes and I'm amazed. Sometimes ... you hear people make statements in Los Angeles, or what is considered a very sophisticated circle, and you honestly feel just like smackin' 'em."
"How obvious is it that, if not for maybe genetics going another way,
God making a few other decisions
and the universe kinda shifting around a little bit, you don't end up selling auto parts in some small town in Arkansas instead of some allegedly hip, sophisticated, powerful person's place or skd resort? ...
You know what I mean?"
The 44-year-old actor is responding to a common question: How does a big movie star like him come off being such a regular guy?
"It makes me self-conscious talking about this, because it sounds like a thing I'm pushing, and I don't pushing it. it's just me," says Keaton, the youngest of seven children from a working-class family near Pittsburgh. "I'm not saying, 'Oh, what a swell guy我 am.' Hey, by the way, did I tell you how swell I am?"
Keaton isn't here to talk about his personality; he's peddling "Multiplicity," a comedy about a construction foreman named Doug Kinney who has himself cloned three times to make more time for his duties as employee, husband, father and house-fixer-upper.
Portraying four characters who frequently appear on screen together was irresistible for an actor who has a reputation for taking offbeat parts.
His work includes the divergent roles of the hyperactive idea man who turns a morgue into a brothel in the comedy Night Shift, the whacked-out ghost in Beetlejuice, a drug addict in Clean and Sober and, of course, Batman.
To achieve the illusion of different versions of himself interacting, Keaton first performed the part of one character then used a videotape of the performance to time his movements while playing another.
"It's not like saying, 'OK, here's my character, here's another person I'm playing and I know the person in this movie is going to go from A to B to C to D.' I had four guys going from A to B to C to D."
His next movie is Desperate Measures, about a man trying to find a bone marrow donor for his son who's dying of cancer. The only suitable match is a prisoner serving a life sentence for murder, a role played by Keaton.
"There are times that ... boy, I just feel like playing me, something light and easy and fun, and then there are times I need to be someone in a movie that lets me feel like I can say something," he says.

'Rocky' legend lives on in gyms, on video
PHILADELPHIA — Rocky still packs a punch — both at the video store and in his old neighborhood.
A 20th anniversary gift set of the 1976 film — winner of three Academy Awards, including best picture—and its four sequels has spent 11 weeks on Video Business magazine's best-seller list.
In South Philly, echoes of the film about a soft-hearted boxer who gets a title shot can be heard at the Passyunk Avenue gym, where boxers still answer the bell.
The clang, which sounds like clockwork every three minutes, momentarily drowses out the thud of punches delivered to the heavy bag, the thumpetah-thumptahthump of the speed bag and the songs of the local hip-hop station blaring from the boom box.
Amid the posters of the past, the peeling blue paint on the brick walls, the shadow boxing in the ring and the rope skipping stands 38-year-old Jimmy Washington Jr.
As a guy shuffles and swings against an imaginary opponent, Washington razzes him: "You're a man, right?"
"I'm THE man," the other counters.
"Because I'm retired,right?"
Washington, who won 15 and lost five with one draw during his featherweight career, runs the
gym along with his father. The reason is simple, he says, because people looked out for him, he felt he should give something back.
While Washington talks, two former boxers, Billy Scott, 57, and Roger Russell, 48, intently check out the young talent around them, young talent.
Washington has managed to build alife in boxing.
Mention Rocky to them, and you get a lesson.
Russell, who fought Floyd Patterson and George Foreman in his heyday, says the notion of getting a shot at the title out of the blue amounts to celluloid silliness.
"People look at you differently, give you a little more respect. And plus, I think it gives you discipline," he says.
"You have to earn a shot. You just don't get nothing for nothing ... You have be be rated in the Top 10 in order to get a shot at a champ," Russell says.
NUDE ENTERTAINERS
"Some guys go to the gym just to learn how to defend themselves, right? But then it gets so that they like it, and they see how they're learning, then the v want to take it a little further. And that's how I was," Washington says.
For Washington, the gym has been more than a backdrop for a fantasy, or a place for Rocky wannabes to test their mettle against other men.
