The female student reported that she was driving west just after 1 p.m. on 11th Street. As she crossed the 11th and Missouri streets intersection, the suspect, driving east, passed her. He pointed a gun at her and then retracted it and continued east.
A crime alert issued yesterday described the suspect as a white male in his 20s with light brown hair and dark eyes. He was wearing an unknown color jacket and a baseball cap with a red bill worn at an angle. He was driving a 1990s green four-door Ford or Chevy.
Anyone who has information on this crime should contact the KU Public Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.

Students had problems with traffic problems, when they were able to
drive on campus to their classes. They also had problems with parking at the University.
Richard Bond, freshman, said "The reason that we have a parking problem is that KU has too many students who are too lazy to walk to classes. You'll never get around that."
Another student said he thought the biggest problem was that a larger percentage of students had cars at that time than before the war.
