Fire damages Budig's guest house
By Yvonne Guzman Special to the Kansan
Bill Kurtz, KU alumnus and Chicago anchorman, will not be staying at the Chancellor's guest house during his visit to KU this week because of a fire Saturday that destroyed the house's phone lines.
Eleven fire fighters were at the guest house, 1525 Louisiana St., for about an hour and a half Saturday night and early yesterday morning putting out a fire in the north corner of the house's roof. The fire was caused by a short circuit in the ceiling, said Maj. Dan Morrow of the Lawrence Fire Department.
No one was injured in the fire, Morrow said. Damage to the house is estimated at $1,000. In addition to the phone lines, rafters on the roof were charred, the television cable was

destroyed and there were some other wiring problems.
The guest house is occupied by Frank Doden and Lori Askeland, both Buffalo Center, Iowa, graduate students. Neither was home at the time of the fire, but both of their cats were trapped in the house. Doden said firefighters were able to get the cats out of the house even though one was hiding behind a bed.
Doden and Askeler, who are married, have lived in the guest house since July as part of their student fellowship. The two are allowed to live in the house for free. In return, they must keep the house straightened and the refrigerator stocked for
guests. They must also be present when guests are staying at the house.
"It's not the most pleasant thing to come home to, but the cats were OK, and the fish didn't boil," Doden said. Doden said he would not have to pay for the damages.
Doden said he was a bit shocked to find firefighters and KU police at his house when he and his wife returned about 12:30 a.m.
Doden said the requirements for the fellowship were that the couple must be married without children and that they be graduate or law students.
He said that he and his wife were extremely grateful to the person who reported the fire and to the firefighters who acted efficiently and were careful not to damage any of the furniture in the house.
Renaming of KU Herbarium honors prof

flora of the Great Plains.
The KU Herbarium, a nationally ranked collection of 450,000 plant specimens, was renamed the Ronald L. McGregor Herbarium on Saturday in honor of Ronald McGregor, professor emeritus of botany.
"It's an honor," McGregor said. "Normally, they do that for people who died. Kind of makes you check the obituaries to make sure."
Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, said, "Because of this, the University finds itself today in the enviable position of having a resource that is increasingly appreciated for its relevance to our concerns for preserving our environment."
Ralph Brooks, assistant director of the Herbarium, said McGregor built up the Herbarium collection from about 54,000 specimens to 450,000, including an extensive collection of
McGregor, who earned his Ph.D. in botany at KU, became director of the herbarium in 1954. He contributed about 40,000 specimens and hired a full-time field botanist, Steve Stephens, who contributed about 100,000 specimens between 1966 and 1975.
McGregor retired from the University in January 1989.
McGregor has directed 44 graduate students. Each collected an average of 2,600 specimens for the herbarium.
In 1967, the herbarium outgrew its original home at Snow Hall. McGreger was responsible for finding funds for construction and operation of the 9,000-square-foot Bridwell Laboratory, which houses the herbarium on West Campus.
The herbarium is a plant library that is open to the public. It is used mainly by graduate students for conducting botanical research.
