Wraps off KU's skyscraper
ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER
The new humanities building, to be the tallest building in Kansas when it is completed in the fall of 1970, will have two, five-story classroom wings and a 25-story tower with space for 487 faculty offices. The classroom building will cost $5.8 million. The tower "answers requirements that the openness of the top of Mt. Oread and the view of the Wakarusa Valley to the south be retained," an official release said.
Grad deferment
Write to keep II-S
KU male graduate students seeking to retain a II-S student deferment must present a written request for "consideration" of the II-S deferment to their local boards. They must also fill out an SSS Form 103 (Graduate or Professional College Student Certificate) and send it to their board.
SSS Form 103 is available at
the Admissions and Records Office and the Dean of Men's Office 228 Strong Hall. Completed forms must be taken to Window No.1 of Admissions and Records for verification.
The new Selective Service Act signed into law June 30,1967, reads: "It shall be the registrant's duty to provide the Local Board
each year with evidence that he is satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction at a college, university or similar institution." "The University must certify that the registrant is satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction leading to his degree."
Juicy fruits thrown on OU playing field

NORMAN, Okla.—There were 10-year-old boys stationed around Oklahoma's Owen Field—known as the "snake pit" to opposing teams. The boys were selling oranges, most of which ended nicely on the playing field.
An enterprising young man kept the boys well stocked with the missiles.
One OU student bought two
The law allows the II-S deferment to the registrant who: (1) "Is entering his second or subsequent year of post-baccalaureate study without interruption on Oct. 1, 1967."
oranges, another bought three and gave one to his girl. There was a lot of talk about a Jayhawk slaughter and many said the oddsmakers were under-rating the Sooners in predicting a 21-7 victory.
At the half, the OU crowd was worried. The 3,000 KU fans on the other end of the field could almost be heard.
"Limitations: Such registrant shall not be deferred for a course of study leading to a master's degree or the equivalent for more than one additional year, or for a course of study leading to a doctoral or professional degree or the equivalent (or combination of masters and doctoral degrees) for more than a total of five years, inclusive of the years already used in such course of study, or for one additional year, whichever is greater."
After the first quarter, many of them contemplated eating their fruit.
OU finally scored in the third quarter. Do you know what happens when an orange hits a football field? The 100 policemen,

(2) "Is enrolled for his first year of post-baccalureate study in a graduate or professional school on Oct. 1, 1967."
"Limitations: Such a registrant shall be deferred for one academic year only, or until he ceases satisfactorily to pursue such a course of instruction, whichever is earlier."
Humanities building to reach 25 stories
By Tim Jones Kansan Staff Reporter
Plans for the "tallest building in Kansas"—a $5.8 million, 25-story humanities building—were unveiled today by University officials and designing architects.
The building, to be on the site of Robinson Gymnasium and Haworth Hall, will house 51 classrooms and 11 undergraduate study rooms in two, five-story wings and provide 487 faculty offices and 28 graduate seminar rooms and 71 study rooms in the 25-story tower.
Bids for construction will be let in mid-spring 1968, said R.
Roach says 'just no way'
Many students have voiced complaints on the method of selling the student season basketball tickets, but Nick Roach, ticket manager, said he doesn't know what can be done.
Roach said a revamping of the sales method has been, and is being tried. It has been looked into from every angle, but Roach said anytime there is a product, there will be a demand. And if there is a demand, there will be a line.
And there were lines at Allen Field House until Friday afternoon, when the 7,000 student season tickets sold out.
However, there will be 500 tickets available to students on a single game basis before each game. Roach said, and they will cost $1.
Roach said the field house has a seating capacity of 15,253. The rest of the tickets will be sold to the KU faculty and staff (they are allowed two tickets each) and the general public.
Many hurt in mini shirts
Sigma Alpha Epsilon had a pajama party Saturday night. At least 10 students were injured.
Jim Olson, Kirkwood, Mo., junior and the fraternity's social chairman described the party:
All of the mattresses in the house were placed in the Sig Alph's living room. Each Sig Alph and his date donned red "mini night shirts." The Great Society provided the music for the couples who were lying and sitting on the 92 mattresses.
After several hours, some of the more exuberant of the 160 students attending began heaving other bodies around the fraternity house.
One coed was hospitalized with a dislocated knee, another suffered a broken nose. One boy cracked his head open and several persons received black eyes.
Olson said everyone "seemed to be having a good time," the only major difficulty being that "it was easy to lose your date in such a big bed."
Kent Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations. Actual construction will begin in the late summer of 1968; the building is expected to be finished by the fall semester of 1970.
The state will provide $3.9 million and the federal government the other $1.9 million.
Construction will be in two phases. The first phase, including the east wing and tower, will begin next summer. When the Experimental Biology and Human Development Building, under construction south of Malott Hall, is completed early in 1869, Haworth Hall will be razed and the second phase of construction, the west wing, will begin.
The architectural firm, Woodman and Van Doren, Wichita, and William Hale, state architect, said they were faced, in designing the building, with the limitations of making the building compatible with the rest of the campus; giving access from all directions, and avoiding "canyonizing" the campus by bringing buildings too close together.
The building, part of KU's master plan, is designed to bring the largest group of students, arts and sciences majors, back o the center of campus.
Lawton said because general classrooms were the easiest to make temporary, the construction of a permanent general classroom building was postponed while specialized facilities—science laboratories, for example—were built.
The high-rise tower was designed to maintain the openness of the top of Mt. Oread. A glass-enclosed concourse and study area connecting the wings at all five levels will provide a see-through effect between Jayhawk Boulevard and the valley to the south.
The building includes a 150-car parking area in the basement for "prime" faculty and handicapped students.
There will be six elevators serving the tower but none for the classroom wings.
Refreshment facilities, now in the basement of Strong Hall, will be moved to the building.
Woodman said the building will be constructed with poured or pre-cast concrete and will be an off-white or sand color. Windows and frames will be bronze-glazed to cut down the solar heat and increase air conditioning efficiency.
A two-duct heating and cooling system will be installed to allow year-round temperature control.
Facilities will include many multi-media devices such as closed circuit television, video tapes and electronic language
