Union remodeling plan includes lobby, canopy
The northeast entrance to the Kansas Union and the area covered by the aluminum canopy will be closed May 25, 2014. The exterior and exterior remodeling of the Union.
The canopy will be replaced and the main
first lobby will be completely remodeled
this time.
"Our goal is to have the entrance, lobby and main lodge usable by students this year."
Frank Burge, Union director, said Friday that the remodeling was to improve the service, appearance and utilization of space in the Union.
BUT HE ADDED that work wouldn't be made and would continue in the fall. No word on whether
Interior remodeling will include removal of the north wall near the administrative offices, creating a continuous area extending from what is now the music and browsing room to the Union gallery. This will provide almost 80 additional seats.
"We want to create an area that is comfortable, quiet and attractive," Burge said.
The lighting will be changed to be more conductive to a lounge and study at-

Grants offered to study abroad
The Institute of International Education has opened competition for grants for graduate study or research abroad during the next year. The application deadline is Oct. 1.
Creative and performing artists, however, aren't required to have a bachelor's degree, but they must have four years of professional study or equivalent experience. Social work applicants must have a bachelor's degree and provide experience after receiving the master of social work degree. Medical candidates must have an M.D.
plants will be used to "brighten up the lounge," he said, and furniture will be provided.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and should generally hold a bachelor's degree at the beginning date of the grant. In most cases they should be proficient in the language of the country in which they wish to study.
THREE BOOTHS will be built, in what is now the music and browsing room, to make permanent space available for campus use. The booths are located without setting up tables in the Lobby lounge.
The west center stairway will be removed, creating 400 square feet of usable space on each floor. These areas will be studied in study lounges, each with a picture window.
The canopy will be replaced by one constructed of brick, steel and slate, which will be more harmonious with the exterior of the Union building. Burge said.
To make the main entrance more accessible to all students, the exterior steps will be replaced by a ramp extending from the first floor. The ramp will be paved with non-slip brick.
J. A. Burzle, director of foreign study and Fulbright program adviser, has grant applications and additional information. He brought Hall and his phone number is 864-3742.
A DRAWING OF plans for the canopy and entrance can be seen inside the main door of the building.
Despite the remodeling, Burge said there would be "a minimum of interruption to Union operations" during the summer. The reason was the transition to the Union will remain open for use.
Grants will be awarded for academic study and for professional training in the creative and performing arts. About 550 awards to 50 countries will be available. Other grants are for the Bright-Hays Act and by foreign governments, universities and private donors.
Funds for the lobby remodeling project, estimated to cost $37,000, will come from the Repairs and Improvements Fee by sales in the Union.
A bizarre comedy on new sexual freedoms will be presented at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the form of a "script in hand" reading of Paul Stephen Lim's new play.
"Homericia: a Trilogy on Sexual Liberation" is Lin's third play. It will be read by the actors selected for the parts, and will be presented in the Forum Room of the Kansas University.
Lim, Philippine graduate student, said Friday that the play was essentially three-one act plays, all taking place in a city in West End Village of New York City.
The first act is called "Bull's Books" and is set in a bookstore in the past.
The second is called "Sammys's Swingles"
and takes place in a present day single
dance.
Lim to present bizarre new sexual comedy
The third is called "Mothers Superior" and shows a future combination hospital and farm.
Lim said he'd originally planned for "Hamlet" to be his contribution to the U.S.
"But," he said, "as it turned out it exploded with the consequences of freedom in a more aggressive liberation."
"It is my statement on the feminist movement, and indirectly on the Roman Catholic church's involvement with the sexual movement."
Lim said he'd thought of subtitting his play "Veterans," because all three acts take place on Veterans Day. But he said he was not asking about the Vietnam war or some other war.
He said all the characters are veterans of the sexual revolution, however.

Lim said his play was the fifth being read in the past two months as part of the University's program to help young playwrites.
"A reading is almost essential," he said,
"because a playwriter can't tell how the play will sound until real people say the words."
Because there are 31 characters in this
play, I am said, it was hard to create them as individuals and still retain continuity among them.
For his second play, "Copersona," Lim
won the American College Theatre Festival
in March for the best original play in college
theatre.
Lim said that "Homerica" was his first comedy and that that he had been working on long before "Conponas" was performed in Washington, D.C. in April.
It's ironic, Lim said, that one of the washington critics suggested that Lim work on it.
"Well, here it is," he said.
