QUOTE OF THE DAY
"When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them, they show us the state of our decay."
Brian Aldiss
FACT OF THE DAY

Emergency test alert pushed back
By Jonathan Shorman
Students and facility received a notice yesterday that the emergency test of the University public address system would occur today. Due to predicted inclement weather however, the test has been moved back to Thursday.
marsday
"We don't want to concern students if something is really going to be going on," said Jill Jess, University spokesperson.
JESS, UNIVERSITY The test, which will consist of a three-second alert tone, will be heard in 98 percent of KU's
academic areas including offices, classrooms and student housing.
"It's a good tool to communicate," Jess said. "Anytime we need to reach a large number of people,we can."
The system is tested once a year and can be specified to one building, group or all buildings.
While the emergency notification system is not used frequently, it has been used recently in Malott Hall when chemical spills or other concerns come up and in McCollum when campus authorities thought a gunman was on campus.
