Petty theft on rise on campus recently
When someone took $73 and a watch from Mark Denney's unlocked Battenfeld Scholarship Hall room, he was convinced that he and other students should respond to an increase of petty larcenies on campus.
"I didn't really expect to get robbed," the Leavenworth sophomore said. "It shocked me. Now we're 10 times more careful."
Someone took the money and his watch, valued at $47, Nov. 11 while he
Because Denney is Battenfeld's treasurer, part of the money was from the hall's funds. The building's outside doors were unlocked as well.
Before the theft, he did not think the hall's fire escape doors needed to be locked, Denney said. Now, he sees the one by his room each night.
Like Denney, many students have learned this year that thieves are taking more students' belongings than in the recent past. Almost as many petty larcenies were reported on campus between January and Aug. 31 as during all of 1983, said Schueller Brauk, KU police sergeant.
In addition, the number of reported petty larcences in 1988 far exceeded that of previous years.
Petty larceny involves the theft of an item or items valued at less than
During 1987, 243 petty larcenies were reported on campus, Bailey said. During 1988, 314 incidents were reported.
The latest figures available for this year show 305 petty larcenies were reported through August 31, he said.
Bailey said he did not know why more thefts were taking place this year.

This year's outbreak of parking sticker and bus pass thefts has contributed to the increased number of thefts. He said someone might be selling the stickers and bus passes for profit.
"Those people are hard to catch because they don't sell the stuff," he said.

He said he could not discuss the ongoing investigation concerning the stickers and passes.
Most of the other items taken, Bailey said, are stolen from campus buildings while unattended. Patrol officers now walk through them more than they did before to prevent thefts.
Investigators have had more difficulty catching thieves this year because there are no patterns, he said. The thefts have been taking place all over campus.

Lawrence airport waits to take off as city grows
By Steve Buckner Kansan staff writer
As the city continues to add businesses, the Lawrence Municipal Airport waits in the wings to serve the community's growth.
However, the airport has yet to experience a surge in its traffic, said general manager Lloyd Hetrick.
"We're running pretty consistent with last year," he said of the airport's 10,000 gallons per month average in fuel sales.
Hetrick said the terminal, which was renovated in May 1988, and a larger hangar, which opened in 1990, had helped the airport's business.
"We get a lot of repeat business,
because we're said, 'That's what we're shooting for.'"
"The maintenance and repairs keep us busy in the shop, although we'll see a downturn in the winter months. The hangar enabled us to have jets come in that we would not have had before."
Hetrick said he was optimistic for increased business as Lawrence grew.
"The more corporations we get to town, the more they'll want to travel, no doubt about it," he said. "We're here." The ILS is what we're weak on."
The ILS is the instrument landing system, an enhanced navigation system that enables airplanes to land in lower cloud ceilings than does the present equipment at the airport. Congress recently passed a transportation bill that would provide an unspecified amount to the Lawrence airport for an ILS, which Hetrick said was important to increase landings here as opposed to having flights land at Kansas City or Topeka.
The University of Kansas is the airport's largest client, said Bob Custer, a pilot for KU. He said the University used two planes for passenger flights and had two or three experimental planes for the aerospace department.
The University's planes were almost always busy, Hetrick said. One plane was flown four days a week by the administration, he said, and the other was used five days a week by the University of Kansas Medical Center. The Med Center flights, which originate in Lawrence, picked up people in Kansas City and shuttled them throughout the western part of the state, Hetrick said.
Other University events attract flights to Lawrence, he said. An average from 40 to 50 planes land at the airport on football game days, Hetrick said.
Custer said corporate flights accounted for the second-most business at the airport, followed by personal flights.
Although Hetrick concurred with Custer's traffic assessment, he hedged a little since the airport keeps informal records on its traffic.
“There’s a lot we don't know about,” he said of the landings. “But with the cost today, not too many are flying for pleasure.”
At the start of the live, two-hour program broadcast nationally on public radio stations. Keillor wondered aloud whether anyone in New York was listening.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Entertainer Garrison Kellor returned to the air Saturday night, saying that it was great to be back on radio but that broadcasting from Brooklyn instead of St. Paul, Minn., felt just a bit strange.
Radio host completes switch from St. Paul to New York
"You walk around the streets here," Keillor said, "and you see all the cars on the streets with signs in the windows that say 'no radio in car.' You sort of feel like you've lost half your audience right there."
"So I do that," Keillor said. "English mostly. Danish for variety."
Keillor said he has learned that it was safer in New York if you talk to yourself.
Saturday's premiere of "Garrison Keillor's American Radio Company of the Air" from the Brooklyn Academy of Music featured a humorous skit about upper-crust volunteers doomed to fund raising for public television or the military at authors and bookellers, an appeal by a fictitious group that helps clothe featherless turkeys and several musical interludes.
The show marked Keilor's return to radio after a two-year absence that began when he ended "A Prairie Home Companion."
