LAWRENCE - The University of Kansas experienced a power outage along the east side of the Lawrence campus.

Buildings affected included Bailey, Blake, Dyche, Fraser, Lippincott, Smith, Spooner, Twente and Wesley halls. The Spencer Museum, Watson library, Kansas Union, and all scholarship halls were also affected.
