Hashinger Fire Is Small
A sprinkler system in Hashinger Hall's north trash chute caused some flooding on the first and second floors at 10:55 last night following a fire in the chute.
The fire, which was discovered by
Fire Hits Ball Field
It wasn't warm enough down at Quigley Field yesterday afternoon, so a few campus workmen generated a little heat of their own.
The workmen were burning the grass on the baseball field which is located south of Allen Field House, when their blaze went out of control.
The errant flames scorched the grass along the outskirts of the field, but was soon subdued by the Lawrence Fire Department.
Assistant Fire Chief Clarence Flory said the grass fire did not cause any serious damage.
a girl on the eighth floor, apparently started in the third floor chute, according to Lawrence firemen. Its heat activated the sprinkler system at the top of the chute, drenching the room.
The water from the sprinkler system poured out beneath trash room doors to the trunk room and three unoccupied rooms on the first floor and to the laundry room drain on the second floor.
The system was turned off manually by the firemen when they arrived at 11 p.m.
The blaze had been extinguished by the time the firemen arrived.
Miss Caryl Kelley, assistant to the Dean of Women, said there were so many barrels of trash floating around that it was hard to discover if there was a draining system for the sprinklers.
The only damage reported was a well-soaked box of books in the first floor trunk room.
The Current Events Forum scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed until next week because of a conflict with Rock Chalk Revue activities this weekend.
Friday Events Forum Has Been Postponed
Eugene Grossmann, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore and chairman of the Forum, said the next meeting will be March 8. Klaus Pringsheim, instructor of political science, will voice his opinions on Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona.
Peace Corps Lags In Big 8
Kansas University Peace Corps officials feel that the election of an Oklahoma State student last spring as president of the Big Eight Student Government has "definitely hampered" the development of the Peace Corps in other Big 8 schools.
Bob Guenthner, Augusta junior and KU Corps member who attended the election, said the KU delegation initiated several resolutions at the meeting, and had hoped to bring to presidency back to KU so they would have some executive power to enact their resolutions. Their bid for the presidency, however, was thwarted.
"We proposed a resolution that all member schools adopt Peace Corps committees such as the one at KU," Guenther said, "and the resolution passed favorably."
At the time of the election meeting, KU was the only Big 8 school with an organized Peace Corps committee, but the KU committee was helping to establish one at Kansas State University. The KU group had hoped, with the passage of the proposed resolution, to have the opportunity of helping to establish similar committees in the other Big 8 schools.
"We felt it would probably require administrative power to initiate action on our proposal," Guenthner said, "and that is why we wanted some executive power at KU."
"As far as we know," Guentner said, "no action has been taken on the resolution by the present officers of the Big 8 Student Government."
Guenthner said the KU Peace Corps committee still has hopes, however, of developing interest throughout the Big 8.
