The power in Leasure Hall and Burt Hall on the K-State campus has been restored after more than a day, using fully operational generator power. The Division of Facilities is working to permanently repair a break in the power lines to those buildings. Classes and work in those buildings have returned to a normal schedule.

The Kansas State University Police Department warns the public of a possible phone scam in the area. Callers claim to be K-State police officers and tell the potential victim they are calling to collect for past fines or owed money.
K-State police officers will never call to collect money owed or to solicit money for past debts. Anyone receiving one of these calls should not provide any personal information to the caller and should contact the K-State Police Department immediately at 785-532-6412.
