Four years of KU memories
By Frank Ybarra
Kansan Magazine writer
As graduating seniors leave the University of Kansas for other places, their memories of the events during the past few years will begin to fade. But here are some of the more memorable events that will stick in the minds of the class of students from a look through past issues of the Kansan
The first week of school in August 1982 brought film crews and movie stars to campus. A movie company announced that it would start filming a movie called "The Day After," a story about a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Kansas City and Lawrence would be involved.
Also that week, the office of student records announced that it would introduce a new system of computer enrollment to begin in November for the suring semester.
"A student will be able to walk in, sit down with an operator at a terminal and be enrolled in five minutes," said Richard Mann, the director of institutional research and planning.
By the beginning of September, "The Day After"
was using a number of KU students for bilp part
was using a dubeur to wo obstacle of his purpose.
"They don't behave like amateurs," a director said. "They behave more professionally than professionals."
About 1,200 students were used as extras in a gruesome scene filmed in Allen Field House, where victims of the war had come for medical attention.
"We're trying to show people what they haven't seen, the face of nuclear war," the director said. On Sept. 17, Steve McMurray, who was in charge of KU on Hones, was arrested for taking cash from the system. The arrest eventually led to a conviction of embezzlement and a prison sentence.
Many of them had tomato-paste blood and gory tears on their hands and faces. Some even had their hands cut off for the
On Oct. 3, the first chapter of the Tylenol poison
ing case was written. Five people were killed by cyanide-laced capsules.
Local emergency rooms and poison hot lines were flooded with calls from people wondering
The KU Pep Band won't soon forget the Kansas State game in Manhattan the last weekend of that October. Abusive K-State fans ran rampage during the game, pelting the KU band with garbage, waylaying three band members and stealing band equipment.
"The fans were wild," said one band member.
"It was terrible. They stole stuff from the band, threw stuff at the band and they didn't care who they hit."
Some KU students said goodbye to one of their favorite television shows on March 3, 1983.
K-State won the game 36-7.
Students gathered around the tube to watch Hot Lips, Hawkey and Korea say farewell on the final show.
After 19 years of coaching at KU, Ted Owens was the Athletic Director of Johnson.
"Our prospects for the future were very exciting," Owens said. "Unfortunately, Monte Johnson, our athletic director, has decided not to honor the University's contractual obligations to me, and because of this he has deprived us an opportunity to lead the KU team to some of its greatest days."
When the Relays took place, the Soviets dominated. Except in the pole vault, the only time any Soviet athletes lost was when they were beaten by teammates.
The New Jersey Nets lost a coach on April 7 of that year, but that meant KU was getting a new one Larry Brown, a KU search committee an-
d assistant coach for the Nets for the head basketball coaching job at KU.
On March 28, the Soviet Sports Committee announced its decision to send Soviet track and field team members.
Two shocking world events greeted KU students when they returned to campus in the fall of 1983. Benigo Aquino was assassinated when he returned to the Philippines to challenge President Ferdi
And on Sept. 2, the Soviet Union shot down a South Korean airliner as it crossed over Soviet airspace.

In response to the Soviet action, about 80 students of the South Korean Student Association and about 20 others marched from Joseph R. Pearson Hall to the Kansas Union.
In October of that year, two KU students announced their plans to run for president and vice president of Student Senate. Their names were Dennis "Boo" Highenberg and Carla Vogel. They ran on the Costume Party ticket and the ideas they had very different.
Of the Costume Party, Vogel said, "It's a catalyst for change. We need to question what's going on."
The Student Senate, on Nov. 18, began one of the most controversial episodes of its history.
On Nov. 17, the Priority Coalition of Scott Scott and Dennis Stickland won the election by 13 votes. Kevin Walker and Mark Mckee of the Coalition came in second and demanded a recount.
In the recount, the Kansas reported that one source had said that the Costume Party actually planned to perform.
But in another recount the next day, it was determined that Priority had won the election.
After a suit was filed by Walker, Chancellor Gene A. Butig ordered a new election for the governor.
The election controversy ended the first of March when the Costume Party, with Carla Vogel and Dennis Brunson, won a majority.
On Oct. 26, 1983, the United States invaded the small Caribbean island nation of Grenada. The invasion, the Reagan administration said, was a deliberate attempt by the United States to be in danger of losing their lives on the island
