Campus unplugged for break
Electrical splicing of Budig Hall forces buildings' power loss
By David Teska
Kansan staff writer
Thirteen buildings on campus will be in the dark next week for 22 hours.
Gary Weishaar, associate director of facilities operations, said the electrical shutdown was required as part of the rebuilding of Budig Hall.
Previously known as Hoch Auditorium, it was destroyed by fire in 1991 after a lightning strike.
Weishaar said that the campus' electrical equipment wouldn't allow isolated building shutdowns
"We're splicing in 12.400-volt
cables," he said. "You have to kill the power, and all the buildings are on the same circuit."
As part of his requirement to notify the occupants, Weishaar said he contacted each building's contact person by telephone twice and sent around a memo.
The biggest concern occupants had was their computer systems, he said.
"We all know how fickle technology can be," he said.
James Strobl, director of Watkins Memorial Health Center, said Watkins had its own 750-kilowatt emergency generator that would be used during the shutdown.
Strobil said that the center typically had a lighter student load during the spring break, with their patient load decreasing from a normal level of between 500 and 600 to about 50.
"We're not going to be down in any critical areas," he said.
Although the shutdown should not affect computers, Weishaar said his staff would monitor the return of power to the buildings.
Occupants should keep the shutdown in mind when they leave on Friday for spring break, he said.
"We recommend they shut them down in an orderly fashion when they leave," Weishaar said.
Other buildings on campus also will lose power because of electrical projects, he said. Dyche Hall will lose power from 7 a.m.Sunday to 7 p.m. Tuesday; Learned Hall from 7 a.m.to 7 p.m., tomorrow and Lippincott Hall from 7 a.m., April 5 to 7 p.m., April 7.
"With student traffic reduced, we're trying to cram as many shutdowns in as we can," Weishaar said.

Police recover sixth stolen letter
Kansan staff report
The five others were recovered Monday afternoon.
KU police recovered on Wednesday night the last of six letters reported stolen from Spencer Research Library in February.
Robert H. Smith, a North Little Rock, Ark., man, stole the letters and replaced them with copies he had requested the library make for him in January.
police still were looking for nine other letters reported missing from the library, four of which they believe Smith stole.
Keary said that police could not find a connection between Smith and the remaining five missing letters, written by James Denver and worth a total of $150.
Keary said he was confident that police would recover all the letters Smith took from the library.
KU police Sgt. Chris Keary said
"We know where they are," Keary said.
