Cigarette butts litter grounds in front of University buildings
Smoking ban forces students, staff to go out to dump ashes
Phil Endacott, associate director of housekeeping for facilities operations, said the biggest noticeable difference from the building smoking ban was cigarette butts on the ground outside many campus buildings.
Since a smoking ban in all campus buildings took effect at KU this summer, students, faculty and staff on campus are noticing one big result — the butts underneath their feet.
The ban prohibits smoking inside any campus building, but students and faculty can smoke outside, usually between classes. University staff, who work in their offices all day, take breaks outside their building if they want to smoke.

Endacott said facilities operations had about $6,000 worth of aluminium ashtray urns removed from the buildings when the smoking ban took effect. The ashtrays were inside buildings, primarily near exterior doors and elevators.
"People are smoking in the building
The absence of those urns, he said, could be part of the reason why ashes and cigarette butts were being dropped on the ground in the entry-ways.
entryways, and they never used to do that before." Endacott said.
Some burn damage has occurred from when smokers put out their lit cigarettes by stomping them out on the floor or smashing them onto plastic trash cans as they enter the buildings, he said.
"That probably wasn't a prudent decision," Endacott said. "They forgot that the urs don't smoke, people do."
Endacott said his department was working to supply ashtrays back to the areas outside of all major campus buildings to avoid the problem. He said the department also was looking
into installing ashtrays on top of the stone barrel, dome-top trash cans, which are located outdoors throughout campus.
Helen Harrell, supervisor of the Kansas Union information counter, the only place on campus that sells cigarettes, said the smoking ban had not affected the number of students and University staff that smoked.
Harrell said that the Union's cigarette sales had not diminished as a result of the ban. She said the information counter sold about 450 packs a day.
"This summer, I thought everyone had quit smoking," Harrell said. "But when everyone came back in August, I decided no one quit smoking."
Customers have commented on the smoking ban, Harrell said, but their concerns were mostly about the winter months.
"Most people aren't concerned about going outside to smoke now," Harrell said. "But what about when it gets cold? That's what they are worrying about."
The quality of the clothing counts when KU students go shopping
Advertising often helps attract buyers to name-brand clothes such as Levi's, Polo and Pepe
Marci Wright, Lawrence senior, said she invested in Polo wear and other name brands because they have a tradition of quality.
"If you buy something and it works for you, you'll buy it again," she said. "I still have quality rugbys from high school in great shape."

When KU students walk into clothing stores, Lawrence retailers say high quality is No.1 on their priority lists.
Jack Miller, owner of King of Jeans, 740 Massachusetts St., said that as long as he had been in the clothing business, nothing compared to Levi's as far as consistent sales and a good product.
"They've been around forever," he said. "The other name brands are hot for a couple years, but they die out. Levi's never have."
Pepe, Lee, Guess and Lawman jeanswear brands still attracted the most KU students, Miller said.
Greg Easter, manager of Easton's Ltd., 839 Massachusetts St., said Polo was the biggest seller at his store among college men and women from 18 to 25 years old. He said that he thought the Polo emblem was a status symbol.
Miller said that he thought advertising had the most impact on the public's buying decisions.
Miller said Ralph Lauren was a billionaire because of the popularity of the distinguished Polo emblem found on his name brand line of clothing. But clothing manufacturers can manipulate prices and still have a solid buyers market, he said.
Even though the prices are high, Easter said that people liked Ralph Lauren's sense of style.
"Sure they're making a killing with that emblem," Miller said, "but they can get away with it because they turn out good, quality, made-to-last clothing — and it helps that we gullible enough to buy it."
"His style and quality are distinguished," Egster said. "People like something different, and he has some good stuff on the market. It might be over-priced but there's a reason for it."
"I suppose I buy it because it looks really unique in the store," she said. "Then I wear it to death."
Kansas City lawyer will help students with career choices
KU graduate to serve in law school
By Kathleen Stolle
Kansan staff writer
Fifteen years after graduating from the University of Kansas, Kansas City lawyer Georgann Eglinski is right back where she started.
Eglinski was recently appointed acting associate dean of law. She is expected to begin Oct. 4. The appointment is for the academic year.
Robert Jerry, dean of law, said Eglinski primarily would serve in the Office of Career Services, where her professional perspective could benefit students.
"She has a very good understanding of the challenges of our profession and will be of great assistance to our
students in helping them prepare for careers after Green Hall." he said.
Eglinski has worked at the Kansas City law firm of Spencer Fane Britt & Browne since 1980. As head of the firm's attorney-hiring committee, Eglinski traveled throughout the country conducting campus interviews with law students.
But Eglinski said that when it came to law firms, bigger was not always better.
"I think the tendency is for law students to see one obvious pattern for employment, and that is large, private-practice law firms," she said. "They don't employ the majority of lawyers by any means, but it seems like they do because of their presence."
She said that knowing where to look was the key to finding the right job.
"Many jobs aren't found through a notice on the bulletin board but are found through contacts," she said.
She said faculty and alumni were good contacts.
According to placement statistics, in the past five years the majority of KU law graduates joined private practices. However, recent graduates appeared to have had more difficulty landing jobs. Seventy-four percent of KU's 1992 law school graduates were employed six months after graduating, an 11 percent drop from 1991 and a 23 percent drop from 1989.
Eglinski said the market had tightened since she first headed out into the job market. And while she can help students sharpen their interviewing skills and develop job-search strategies, Eglinski said some things, like he economy were beyond her control.
But Lillian Six, director of the Office of Career Services, said the drop was not a phenomenon unique to KU.
"This is occurring in law schools across the country," Six said.
