Regents approve Union renovation
By SHERI BALDWIN
Staff Writer
TOPEKA - A renovated Kansas Union and a trash-powered utility plant for the Kansas are in the contract negotiations state lawmakers have negotiated from the Board of Regents here Friday.
The Regents approved an architectural work program to remodel the Kansas Union building by hiring of an associate architect to finish drawings and specifications for the project.
Frank Burge, Union director, said yesterday he expected the contract for the associate architect to be negotiated within 30 days. Funding for the project is to be provided from student Union fees and operating revenue.
Burge said a 50-year-old stairway to the night of the southeast Union entrance would be removed because the terreroz stairs were taped, therefore hazardous and unstable.
"GAREFEL STUDY over a year's of traffic patterns, and checks with the fire marshal told us we could indeed abandon our job in order to large sale." It is seldom used and is no longer used.
Burge said 400 square feet would be gained on each of the five Union levels when he was removed. The space is to be converted to student lounges for each level, he said.
A second sequence would cost $170,000-$220,000 and would include the stairway removal and lounge construction, 40 more seats in the main Union lobby and an enlarged canopy at the Union entrance. The canopy now over the north-east entrance would be lengthened, Burge said, and would extend as far south as the southeast entrance, covering the front portion of the patio area.
The remodeling will be done in three sequences and will be finished by August 19.
The first sequence would cost $12,100 to $15,100 and would include removing portions of walls in the Union lobby to improve access to little-used areas.
A gradually-sloped entrance that woul comply with the architectural barrier code for handicapped would replace a temporary unacceptable ramp. he said.
The third sequence, which would cos-
ease the 6000, would finish the patio canopy
and the soffit.
Del Shakel, executive vice chancellor,
said that the Regents were unofficially committed to the utility plant project and that they had committed planning fund money to finance a professional engineering consultant for the project.
KU requested the consultant to study the feasibility of a burnable trash recovery system that could both heat and air-condition the University. The cost of the proposed system is an estimated $10 to $12 million.
A MOTION TO shift architectural coordination and inspection in the clinical facilities building to the state architect's office from the firm of Langston, Kitch and Associates, Inc., was approved. Max Lucas, assistant to the chancellor, was appointed to lead the committee for project management of the clinical facilities' construction.
The Regents also approved a reorganization of the University Press of Kansas as the Regents Press of Kansas, effective July 1. The operation will now be subsidized by all six regent schools so that all schools have access to publish scholarly work and support can be improved by the Regents and duplication of services can be avoided.
The name change for the reorganization will require approval by the Kansas legislature because the University Press of Kansas was created by legislative action. KU also was allowed to increase comprehensive fee schedules for the 1976 summer semester and summer Institutes Abroad program fees and two Colorado geology field classes.
Tasheff's transition meets Rolf's retreat
By MARTISCHILLER
As Ed Folsl relax leaves office. Tedde Tasheff, the newly-elected student body president, is quickly assuming her administrative duties
She said she hadn't gone through all the files yet, but it appeared Rofls had left her an abundance of useful material and information.
Tasheff said yesterday that the transition of power had gone smoothly and that she was going to spend this week getting her administration organized.
Rolfs said a few personal belongings were the only things he took from the Student Office.
"You go in with very little and leave with very little." he said.
Tasheff already was moved into her new office. Her desk was stacked deep in files and folders and a glass of fresh-cut daffodils was perched on the window sill.
Tasheff said her first priority for this week was to charge the standing committee with their duties for the tenure of the board. That would involve charges would be new ones, she said.
THE MAJOR PLANKS of her campaign platform would be parcelled out to the committees, she said. For instance, she will charge the Academics Affairs department and cent student representation on policy making boards become more effective
One difficulty is deciding which committee should be charged with the different projects, she said.
Tasheff said she had been reviewing what the student body presidents had done immediately following the last two weeks and knew her what to do as she takes over.
The Committee on Committees will be elected at this meeting and will have the responsibility of accepting applications and conducting interviews to re-establish committees, she said. Any student at the university may apply for a committee position.
Rolfs said $ \mathrm {h i}^{4} $ administration had been weakest in relations with KU adversely and in theancement in its relations with the Kansasas Legislature, and student relations had been good, he said, but his work closely with KU administrators.
Tasheff and Rolfs were pleased that the voter turnout had increased this year. Oral is 2,758 students voted in last spring's elections to almost 4,300 votes cast this year.
TASHIEF SAID she hoped the upward trend continued next year. She said she wanted to get the new Senate and its younger senators involved and motivated so the enthusiasm would spread to the student community.
N.H. primary should narrow field
By DON SMITH
Washington Correspondent
Campaign workers used to enjoy speculating about the primaries. But not anymore. Most observers here are uncertain about who will win the primaries. And no one is making any predictions.
The Republicans have two announced candidates in Pennsylvania Gerald R. Ford and former California Gov. Ronald Reagan.
The Democratic field of candidates is more crowded—last count 13 were entered in tomorrow's New Hampshire.
Yet only a handful of the Democrats appear to be real threats to receive the nomination. Candidates in this group are Sen. Birch Bayh of Indiana, former George Gumy Jim Carter, Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington, presidential candidate Sargent Shriver. Rep. Morris Udall of Arizona and Alabama Governor George Wallace.
THE ONLY PROBLEM with the above list is that it doesn't include the names of some candidates who haven't announced candidacy for president but might. This group includes Sen. Barbara Brown, Sen. Frank Church of Idaho and Sen. Subray, Bob McDonald.
The Ford and Reagan offices here have different views of the upcoming primaries. The Ford campaign seems unsure of itself; the Reagan campaign seems to be confident, both claim to be ready for the New Hampshire primary.
According to a poll taken recently by the New York Times and CBS News, more Republicans rated Reagan higher on leadership than Ford. However, Ford was regarded as the stronger of the two candidates.
The first primaries won't necessarily be the most important for Ford, but they could decide Reagan's political
fate, Grace Marie Prather, deputy press director for the President Ford Committee, said.
"The early primaries are only a few days away," she said. "These will be the first battalions and will dictate how they play."
PRATHER SAID the Ford committee expected tough campaigns in both New Hampshire and Florida.
"These first states are the states that Ronald Reagan would logically do well in," she said. "Reagan has the support of the governor of New Hampshire (Meldrum conservation). These states have very conservative, New Hampshire populations."
The President is a general appeal candidate, Prather said.
"He'll do better as a nationwide candidate," she said. "If Reagan doesn't do well in New Hampshire he won't."

make it to the California primary. But if he does well, it could be a long battle."
The Reagan campaign appears to be optimistic.
"We're guarded optimistic," a spokesman for the Reagan campaign said, "I think he a winner."
THE SPOKESMAN SAID Reagan's campaign was on schedule.
"To my knowledge, it has gone according to plan," the spokesman said. "He's been to New Hampshire just the number of times he had planned and he'll be there and in Florida before the first primary."
Reagan's recent proposal to return some federal programs to the states in the process cut the federal budget by $90 billion is beginning to be accepted, the spokesman said.
"All he did was suggest that program," the spokesman said. "He said we should take a good look at all the programs and see which could be transferred to the states. What he is trying to do is to save the transitional money, the money that the federal government shifts back to the states."
Regardless of Reagan does in the early primaries, he will stay in the campaign until the convention, the seat he will win.
"You'd like to be 100 per cent sure he'd win but nobody's ever certain." The spokesman said.
ON THE DEMOCRAT side, no one is willing to say who's the front runner. In fact, of mot, of the campaigns shun that label, apparently remembering Maine Sen. Edmund Muskie's fall from that status in 1972.
There's little doubt in the Bayh campaign that Bayh must outdistance his liberal opponents in the early primaries if he is to establish himself as a credible candidate.
"What were hoping to do in New Hampshire and Massachusetts is do well in the liberal field," Gayle Alexander, a deputy press secretary said. "We feel we have a lot of room in New Hampshire and we feel we'll come in a good solid second."
The Baych camp isn't talking of defeating Udall in New Hampshire as they point out that Udall's been campaigning there for the last 18 months. But they do believe that Udall can be defeated in Massachusetts, thus paving the way for Baych to carry the banner for liberal Democrats.
"I THINK BY THE END of Massachusetts, the liberal field will narrow," Alexander said. "And when you see the narrowed to one liberal versus Jackson or Carter, I think you'll see a very different vote breakdown."
If Bayh survives in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, he hopes to do well in New York and Pennsylvania, two of the biggest primaries. He has already been endorsed by about 60 per cent of members of the New Democratic

Residence hall life varies from convenient to coping
(Editor's note: This is the first in a five-part series examining where students live and why at the school.)
By LIZ LEECH
Staff Writer
Living in residence hall appeals to many students at the University of Kansas and for a
But students often live in the hall for similar reasons, too.
Residents say they enjoy living with a large number of other people, having access to special facilities.
Some of them say they like it so much that they'll cope with nocturnal roommates, food not quite to their liking, blaring stereos and a general lack of privacy.
The official housing study, which is annually submitted to the Board of Regents, showed that 17 per cent of KU's students live in residence halls this year.
Laura Shockley, Parke Village sophomore
in Cornish Hall, said she had chosen a residence
hall for her first and second years in college parti-
cularly because her parents wanted her to.
"I THINK THERE are advantages and disadvantages to all living situations, but living here, you are living close to lots of people and get to know them pretty well," she said.
She said she chose to live in an all-female hall because there was more privacy there. In Corbin, the rooms are private and spacious.
There are more freshman women in GSP and carbin than sophomores, Stockley said, and the freshmen are getting better.
Shockey said she thought people living in apartments couldn't meet as many people as those in apartments without them.
The atmosphere here for freshmen is pre-
secure, but the sophomores liked living here last
year.
At Hashing Hall, Gina Kennedy,Lenza senior, said she liked the community spirit of her hall.
She said students at Hashinger were mostly superclassmen and lived in Hashinger because they were hard to find.
"IREALLY FEEL like I belong here and it seems people return here, year after, year." the said.
Dan Kunetsky, Leawood senior, said he had thought it would be cheaper to live in a residence hall than in an apartment. He lives in McCollum Hall.
"I didn't want to cook, and I expected to eat food and a place to sleep and study," he said.
However, Kusnetzy said he had to spend about $30 a month for food in addition to his regular payments because he didn't like the food that was served.
He said next year he would move into an apartment with three friends and live less expensively.
McColm Hall was his choice, Kunzetalky said,
because he thought he had fewer rules than other
battles.
"I don't like people telling me when I have to be in my room or when I can't have guests." he said.
Russetty said residence hall offered him things he couldn't get in an apartment such as computer use.
KUSNETZKY SAID, however, that although
there were parking spaces for cars, there weren't enough of them.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said he though
guest living was particularly beneficial for younger
students.
He said he had enjoyed the opportunity he had in McCollum to meet people.
"Within five minutes walking time there are about 630 people," he said.
Of the 3,637 students who live in residence halls,
about 1,900 are freshmen.
Kunetakty said that McCollum had a number of foreign students, and that he enjoyed meeting fellow students.
It's an excellent way for them to bridge the gap from high school days to a more permanent lifeline.
KU has several payment options for students in residence halls. There are five single-sixth halls and
WILSON SAID that having fixed costs in a residence hall made things easier for students' parents because they knew exactly how much they would be paying.
