KU plans new law school
If everything goes according to schedule, KU's new $1.25 million Law School will be completed in the fall of 1970, said James K. Logan, dean of the law school.
Although the final plan of the building has not been completed, the architect, John Shaver of Salina, submitted plans for approval which "will not be drastically changed." Logan said.
The building, which will be three stories tall, will contain four auditoriums, two which will seat 150 and two which will seat 90. Plans also include a moot court, having all the equipment of a regular courtroom, and 200,000-volume library which will seat 250 students and include 50 study carrels, and a student lounge with a vending machine area.
Has office space
The building also has space for 25 faculty offices, stenographer area, offices for the student Law Review, two seminar rooms, and a placement area with interview rooms.

Logan said the estimate of $1.25 million was based on the basic cost figures for 60,000 square feet of floor space. The library will occupy one-half of that space, he said.
The University's $19.6 million Council for Progress Fund Drive will provide $750,003 for the new law building, Logan said. The federal government will provide $375,000.
Budgets-
Continued from page 1
Continued from page 1 requested increase was needed partly because in the last five years the faculty-student ratio has increased from 1-14 to 1-16. He added:
"All this (the decrease) would accomplish would be to set us farther behind our competitors in recruiting and retention of faculty."
Needs more repair money
Concerning repairs and maintenance, Wescoe said the cut to $125,000 by Bibb was unreasonable because in 1560 the budget for this was $175,000 and since then enrollment has increased by 50 per cent. He said it did not seem unreasonable to him to request a slight increase over 1950's budget.
The money for the Space Technology Building—$354,000—is to be KU's share in matching a
$1.8 million grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The amount is needed to match the grant, Wescoe said, or the grant would be withdrawn. At present, Bbb has deleted the total request on this.
Another $117,241 was deleted from KU's budget when Bibb rejected the request for the Geological Survey, which, according to Wescoe, has "cramped quarters" and needs expansion.
Other complete deletions from KU's budget requests were: $50,000 to remodel the old electrical engineering laboratory for use as a mechanical engineering facility; $50,000 to replace ground-laid steam lines serving residence halls; $19,000 for street lighting along Naismith Drive; $60,000 for the KU library book fund; and $74,745 to increase the KU general research fund.
Bread poisoning death toll at 80
BOGOTA—(UPI)—The government today began an investigation of the mass bread poisoning at the village of Chiquinquira.
Two more children died Monday, raising the death toll to 80 from the deadly parathion, which affected 600 persons at the height of the outbreak. The poison was traced to flour from which bread was made.
Tomas Peralta Garcia, a criminal court judge, ordered three persons held in connection with the poisonings.
The situation in the town of 10,000 located 75 miles northeast of the capital was reported returning to normal with the arrival from the United States of an antidote.
Police said a bottle of the insecticide shattered during the truck trip. The liquid poison seeped into the flour sacks.
Don't you believe it.
If you have the idea the telephone business is uninteresting, monotonous and lacking in challenge-do us a favor. Talk to someone who works for Southwestern Bell.
Ask the engineer who's in charge of a million-dollar expansion program how
"dull' it is. Ask the technician who's planning vital microwave and cable routes for defense installations. Ask the sales representative who's just completed work on a nationwide data communications network.
Dull? Ask the operator who has just handled a life-or-death telephone call.
Boring? Ask all the telephone people who helped restore service after a devastating storm.
The business of our business is the lively art of communications. It's a lookahead, on-your-toes, makeit-happen business.
But dull?
Don't you believe it!
