BY MARISA BARRETT PHOTOS BY MIKE KENNEDY AND SUSIE GURA Barkin STUDENTS FACED A POSSIBLE citation, fine or having their dogs impounded. They would be in violation of ordinance 33-202, banning dogs on public grounds without supervision. All students who brought their dogs to campus faced this violation. S,Lud.QuL.LtfG Dogs following their owners didn't stop at campus boundaries. Robert Sims, Leavenworth junior, said he brought his Alaskan malamute mix, Kieva, to campus because it was the best way for his dog to get exercise. A dog his size needs to get out. It's a good way for him to work off the dog chow, he said. I don't think it's a good idea for dogs to be on campus without leashes, there are other dogs too, Sims Said. And some dogs have a tendency to not get along with other dogs. Some dogs also had problems with passersby. Several biting incidents occur each year. Sims said his least favorite thing about bringing Kieva to campus is people who feed him, because some dogs have dietS. He Said the benefits were worth the hassles. It's a lot easier for dogs to get around here without having to worry about them getting hit by cars or running off, Sims said. l,5 : .z-.an:.n...1u .-gfwfz. , ,J .3 lffillxlli 8'

For example, in early October, discouragingly low voter turnout in student senate elections was the motivation for Delta Force and the Association of University Residence I-Ialls to band together and mobilize support for a polling site on Daisy Hill, in front of the Ekdahl Dining Commons. The groups began a student initiative by means of a petition. Past setbacks such as organizing student support at the wrong time of the year, lack of permission from the director of student housing and changing committee members forced the student activists to take a different path in attempting to achieve their goals. Signing IH SURROUNDED BY STUDENT bicyclists and camera crews at a September bike rally, Kip Curtis, history GTA, voices demands for more bike lanes around Lawrence. Although it was a commu- nity effort, the rally was primarily organized by members of KU Environs. S i
