Athletics Department to fix scoreboard, light
The University of Kansas Athletics Department said that the scoreboard at Memorial Stadium will be fixed, but not until a few weeks before the 2006 football season begins.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the scoreboard was damaged in a hailstorm in April. The damage was sustained by the pixels that illuminate the board. More than 500 new pixels will have to be built for the repairs.
Marchiony said that the scoreboard was insured, but because the pixels were not readily available the work had to be delayed.
The department also said that a downed stadium light on the corner of 11th and Mississippi streets should be erected before the football season begins.
Marchiony said the light was damaged in the microburst that occurred in March.
He said the department was concerned that the light could fall on its own because the damages were severe enough, so the light was taken down.

Correction
An article in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Roll-A-Thon for Marshall" should have said that Marshall was 10 years old.
