A truck crashed into the Chi Omega sorority house at 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Tire marks and a broken ledge are the scattered remains in front of the Chi Omega sorority house. Sunday morning a small pick-up crashed through the front window of the house while the car was being chased by police. One person was flown to Kansas City for injuries.
Chelsie Harper, Hugoton junior and sorority president, said no sorority members were hurt in the accident.
The crash was the result of a high speed chase across campus according to the Lawrence Journal-World Web site, www.ljworld.com. The chase began after police were called to the 500 block of West 14th Street, where an unknown person had been accused of damaging a vehicle and making threats with a knife. The driver, whose identity was not released, was flown to a Kansas City hospital by air ambulance.
Although Harper said there was no concern that the driver, who was male, would enter the sorority house, the building was evacuated and members slept at an undisclosed location for the remainder of the night. Broken glass was still being cleaned from the floors of the house on Sunday afternoon.

University reworking cost plan for next year
Incoming freshman could be locked in on a four-year fixed rate tuition beginning in the fall.
The University of Kansas has been working on a plan to create a fixed cost per credit hour for incoming freshman for the next four years at the University.
Jackie Hosey, interim associate director for news and public relations, said the Kansas Board of Regents will meet May 16 and 17 at the Topeka Board Office to discuss tuition rates and details for the plan.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and student body president, said a projection for student fee increases for the next four years was expected to be worked on this summer.
