Roof repairs near completion
Throughout campus, building construction projects continue
By Deron Graul
Kansan staff writer
Repair work on Wescoe Hall's roof,
which has leaked for the last four
years, should be completed by Aug.
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said contractors began working on the roof in late April, replacing the leaky roof with one that is similar to the roof on the Spencer Research Library, which has been leak-free since its 1986 installation.
The new roof will consist of a layer of foam insulation covered with a continuous, single-ply membrane similar to inner tube material, Modig said. The membrane will be covered with cinder blocks that will hold the other materials in place and prevent damage.
Phil Endacott, associate director of facilities operations housekeeping, said the roof had more leaks since repairs began because it was necessary for the contractor to tear up parts of the existing roof. Employees of the housekeeping department have spent about 50 hours soaking up water in Wescoe this summer.
Endacott said that a temporary cover over a large hole in the roof blew off during a recent storm and rain damaged a computer in an office on the fourth floor.
He said that during the last four years, the equivalent of every ceiling tile in Wencoe Hall had been replaced as a result of rain damage. Leaks also made it necessary to replace some carpet.

A section of the asphalt and felt-paper roof on Dyche Hall will be replaced with one made of metal. Because the section is on the north side and cannot be seen from the ground, metal will be used to reduce costs.
science Work on the roofs of the Military Science Building and Douthart and Sellards Scholarship Halls also should be in this summer.
Contractors' bids will be taken this month for the re-roofing of Hoch Auditorium, Oliver Hall and Allen Field House, Moldig said.
He said summer was a good time of year for roofing projects.

New housekeeping budget too slim
By Deron Graul
Kansan staff writer
The KU housekeeping budget for fiscal 1991 falls about $23,000 short of what is needed to keep all of the buildings on campus clean, said Phil Endacott, associate director of facilities operations housekeeping.
"This is a big problem for me, a small problem for facilities operations, and a pimple of a problem for the University," Endacott said.
Housekeeping is a division of facilities operations.

Endocott blamed the shortfall on a

Before the change, employees earned a 25-cent hourly shift differential for the parts of their shifts worked between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Under the new pay system, if any part of the shift falls between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., employees receive the
Endacott said that if the budget was not increased before May 1991, the department would be unable to pay employees.
"This has a direct impact on our efficiency at the operating level," Endacott said.
Rodger Orok, university director of support services, said budget discussions about the problem could be concluded in a few weeks.
"It's a $50,000 problem," he said.
He said if the monev was not made
available there could be a reduction in services.
Housekeeping has hired an additional five custodians to keep the Dole Human Development Center clean. Each KU custodian is responsible for cleaning about 22,000 square feet of building space every day. The University employs 153 custodians.
The housekeeping labor budget for fiscal 1991 is about $2.4 million. The budget for supplies and operating expenses is $197,044, which includes about $50,000 for toilet paper and trashbags.
Kansas enacts new and tougher laws
The Associated Press
These are some effects of the laws passed by the 1900 Kansas Legislature.
The owner of a store that sells replica firearms could face a $10,000 fine, and motorists could be a few pennies poorer after they pull away from a gas station.
TOPEKA — Because of laws that went into effect Sunday, people convicted of first-degree murder could spend four decades in prison with no chance of parole.
The so-called "hard 40" will give juries the option to put people convicted of first-degree murder into prison and throw away the key for 40 years.
Prosecutor will be able to seek a sentencing bearing before the same judge and jury in the original trial to determine if the mandatory 40-year sentence will be imposed.

by lawmakers as an alternative to capital punishment. Proposals to reinstate the death penalty failed in the House this year and in the Senate in 1867 and 1898.
The law could be imposed on a person who commits a particularly heinous murder or who kills a court witness. Killers-for-hire could also involve the four decades, along with those who hire them.
Presently, a person convicted of first-degree murder can be eligible for parole in 15 years. Critics say a 15-year sentence is not enough of a deterrent.

People who sell replica firearms in Kansas could face a $10,000 civil fine. The law is intended to keep real-looking toy guns out of the hands of anyone who might wave it at a police officer.
The law does not cover BB guns, air rifles or toy guns that are obviously toys. The bill was supported by law enforcement agencies.
surveys. Not all changes in the law are a result of the 1990 session. The ghost of the 1989 session will visit motorists when they pull up to the gas pump.
The tax on gasoline went up 1 cent a gallon Sunday as a result of the legislature's passage of a bill creating a comprehensive, $2.65 billion highway program. The gas tax went up 4 cents a gallon last year as a result of the road improvement plan.
Another new law will affect drug dealers who sell their wares to anyone within 1,000 feet of a school. People convicted of breaking the law will be not guilty of a Class B felony, punishable by 15 years to life in prison, even if it is their first offense.
