KU to restrict parking pass distribution
By KIERSTI MOEN
Staff writer
Misuse of parking passes has caused the University of Kansas administration to change its distribution, making it more difficult to obtain passes
Misdistribution and misuse of chancellor's passes, which allow parking in any legal parking space on campus, led the chancellor's office to outline new allocation policies to take effect this month, an assistant to the chancellor. The chancellor's office supervises distribution of the passes to selected people.
James Scaly, the assistant to Chancellor Gene A. Budig, said most cases of the misuse involved students who had wrongfully obtained chancellor's passes. He said he knew that the misuse was happening during the 11 years he had been with KU.
"I'm surprised that after so many years it's become an issue," he said. The issue arose in November after
KU parking officials confiscated a chancellor's pass from a student who said she had received it from Bradley Smoot, a lawrence attorney with no affiliation with KU.
Smoot was a former attorney of Richard von Ende, former University executive secretary, who supervised the chancellor's pass distribution until he was convicted on drug charges and imprisoned in 1986. Smoot was convicted of drug charges in the same case.
However, Scally did not think that von Ende necessarily had givenisen
Seally said the miseuse resulted from lack of control. He said nobody really knew exactly how many passages were circulation or who distributed them.
"Smoit is very well connected. He knows lots of people, and he could have gotten the pass from any number of them." Scully said.
Chancellor's passes are offered
only to members of the Chancellor's Club, and to certain members of the University of Kansas Alumni Association and the Kansas University Endowment Association, Seally said.
In some cases, KU parking service employees have confiscated passes from students who have borrowed them from parents or other relatives who rightfully own the passes. Scally said.
In those cases, the passes are returned to the owners with reminders that the passes may not be used by others, he said.
Fred Williams, director of the Alumni Association, said he had distributed passes to 42 eligible members. He did not think any of them had misdistributed their passes.
Williams said the pass design was so simple that people might easily have copied them.
"Unfortunately, there are certain types of individuals in society who will take advantage of the system."
he said.
Taking advantage of the system will become more difficult this month when the University gets stricter with chancellor's pass allocation.
Scally said that under the new system, he would have ultimate authority over pass distribution. He has prepared a list of more than 500 people who will be offered chancellor's passes, he said. Those who accept will receive numbered passes with their names printed on them.
KU parking services will have a list of pass holders and will be able to keep better track of the users. The user will be told void when the new ones take effect.
Rules for other types of parking passes also may change soon. parking services will hold its annual public meeting Wednesday to discuss, among other parking issues, new policies for medical passes, loading passes, temporary passes and departmental passes.
Libyan forces ousted from air base, Chad says
NJAMENA. Chad — Chad said Wednesday that its troops had captured or destroyed scores of Soviet-made warplanes, tanks and helicopters and killed more than 1,200 Libyans when it ousted Libyan troops from an air base in northern Chad this week.
Sunday's battle that ousted the Libyans from the base was considered a major turning point in Chad's efforts to force Libya out of northern Chad.
A statement quoting the Chadian military high command said that 1,269 Libyan fighters were killed and 438 taken prisoner, including the commander of the zone, Col. Khalifa Abou Alafat. His assistant, Col. Gassim Ali Abu Nawar, also was killed.
The military said that 29 Chadian troops were killed and 58 wounded. It called the list a partial one, subject to revision.
and weaponry. Libya constructed the air base at Wadi Doum in 1984 and used it to launch attacks against the land-locked central African nation.
The military said that it captured
11 Czech-made L39 bombers, two
Italian-made Marchetti ground-supp-
ported and three Soviet-made M175
helicopters.

French Defense Minister Andre Giraud on Tuesday called Chad's capture of the air base Sunday a serious reversal for Libyan leader Col. Mommar Gadhafi Chadian President Hissene Hibre began a new effort in mid-December to oust Libya from the north of his country.
The Soviet-made material that was captured included 12 T-62 tanks, 42 T-55 tanks. 66 BMP troop-transport
tanks and 18 BM21 multiple rocket launchers.
The fall of Wadi Doum leaves Faya Largeau as the largest remaining Libyan stronghold in the north.
