SUA travel board matches riders, drivers for long haul

Amanda Izard, Norman, Okla., freshman, does not have a car, but she does have a ride home for Thanksgiving.
She still flips through the cards at the travel board in the Kansas Union to see who is planning to travel to Oklahoma in the near future.
"I just like to have back-ups and see if there's anyone I know here," she said.
And they are easier to use after being redesigned during Union renovations, said Sue Morrell, SUA manager. The regions on the boards are clearly marked. The number of students from a certain area of the country determines the size of the region. Students file request cards in the region they want to visit.
Combining the concepts of car pooling and hitchhiking, the travel and commuter boards across from the Student Union Activities office at the Union for years have introduced KU students with similar travel and commuter plans.
Morrell said she never had received any complaints from travel and commuter board users, but when she was researching travel boards at other universities she found that many schools discontinued the service because they were afraid of lawsuits.
Lawsuits could stem from a variety of arguments between riders and drivers and result in the university being sued.
The KU travel boards display a disclaimer stating that the University and the Union are not responsible for any problems associated with the board.
About 1,000 request cards are filled out each year, Morrell said.
"It is used more than I ever thought it would be," she said.
Lorna Zimmer, director of the student assistance center, said that residents of Overland Park were the most frequent users of the commuter board, which was started in 1981.
Maiser said she met with people before the trip to make sure she was comfortable with them. She has never turned anyone down.
Maiser said she did not follow any set requirements when screening possible riders.
Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., residents tie for second, and Prairie Village and Shawne residents tie for third. Most commuters travel to KU every weekday and are on campus before 10 a.m., she said.
"It was hellacious, but it was interesting," she said.
Another trip in a Honda Civic with three other people was a different experience.
Bill Towns, operations supervisor for the Union, said he remembered the KU travel board from when he was a student.
"He was the most interesting guy I ever met," she said.
"It predates me, and that's old," he said.
and the driving to Massachusetts. Last year she drove across country with a man from Africa.
"I have learned to trust my gut feeling," she said. "I just don't feel that a student looking for a ride is dangerous."
Katya Maiser, Worcester, Mass., graduate student, said she had used the travel board three times to find people who would help split the cost
She said she usually had her riders pay what she thought was fair before the trip. But money is not the hard part, she said.
The only problems she has encountered were people backing out at the last minute or driving too fast on a rainy night. She solves them by taking a small, non-refundable deposit from each rider before the trip and asking them to drive more carefully.
"Make sure you feel comfortable enough to spend two very long days together," she said.
Save a stamp with campus mail
Facilities operations service delivers twice daily, no charge
By Shan Schwartz Kansan staff writer
If you have a University bill to pay or need to send a letter to a professor, don't go digging for a postage stamp.
Do not letter in common mail. Use of change
The campus mail service is a department of facilities operations and operates from a large, inconspicuous office in the basement of Strong Hall.
Three full-time employees and four part-time student employees sort and deliver campus mail five days a week. They deliver thousands of pieces of mail each day, and
The only rule is that it must be University business, said Terri Thornton, supervisor of campus mail operations.
Campus mail can be delivered to all buildings on campus, the Regents Center in Overland Park and the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., Thornton said.
In many cases, Thornton said, a letter picked up in the morning can be delivered that same day to its destination. She said a delivery could be delayed because of an improper address on the envelope. Campus mail is delivered to offices and departments, not to specific rooms or
Thornton said campus mail was picked up and delivered twice a day in most campus buildings.
Campus mail
Some mailbox locations:
■ Kansas Union, Level 4 (by information counter)
■ Strong Hall, basement
■ Wescoe Hall, first floor
■ Dole Human Development Center, first floor (inside front door)
■ Learned Hall, first floor
■ Haworth Hall, Level 2 (east end, back door)

individuals, Thornton said.
"A letter can't just have, 'Sue, 1029 Wescoe,' on it," Thornton said. "Our only address requirement is that it has the department name on it."
At one time, campus mail even returned library books. That service ended several years ago because students tried to hold campus mail responsible for late fines, Thornton said. Now, books are about the only thing campus mail will not accept.
Thornton estimated that between 8,000 and 12,000 items went through campus mail each day. With that high volume, she said, workers occasionally notice mail that is out of the ordinary.
"We get a lot of weird stuff," Thornton said. "We catch some chain letters and intercept them."
