Student Senate hosts reception to meet students
The Student Senate is holding an open house today to give students a chance to meet their student senators, Becky Herring, the director for the Senate, said yesterday.
"We wanted to set up an open forum that students could attend," she said.
Ohrman said the Senate planned the open house last spring but decided to hold it this fall. He said he'll be back next year.
Senators and Senate officers will be present to answer questions from students, faculty members and administrators, she said. The students will be free refreshments and music by J.K.HK

been told to find a reason for existing, had come up with several.
Steve Leben, student body president, told the committee in September that since March he had been unable to find many substantive activities for the committee. He then asked the members to come up with ideas.
Parks said, "There's a purpose for our committee. You always need culture."
Parks said the committee would spend more time with the International Club and would make plans for the next Campus Tour. "We also may prepare a campus events calendar."
Leben said the committee's suggestions sufficed and the committee would not be
The International Club, comprising several foreign-student groups, will be given guidance by the committee during their visit. The information provided herein such as fund-raising events, Parks said.
Previously, the committee had been involved in forensics, budget hearings and ethics discussions.
"He couldn't find anything for us to do," parks said. "So I kind of went back and went to the library."
"But I don't think we'll have to do anything more about beer sales."
A new 515-bed hospital at the KU Medical Center will be completed in April 1979, according to Russell Miller, vice chancellor at the Med Center.
The cost of the project so far is $48,760,366
and does not include contracts not yet
awarded for the construction of a street in
Cape Cod, expanding the building. The
building is 70 per cent complete.
Miller said several other contracts that had not been put up for bidding included the construction of fixed equipment inside the hospital.
The $48-million figure includes construction of the structure, fixed equipment already contracted for and installation fees. The fixed equipment includes laboratory benches, cabinets, sterilizers and food production equipment, Miller said.
"I hesitate to say that it actually is the largest project in the state," he said. "But we know of no other building that involves a lot of money and size within the state."
A TWO-MONTH bricklews' strike last week at hospital by about four months. Miller said.
In addition to the time lost by the strike, he said, no other construction can continue or begin until the bricklayers finish their work.
Hospital completion date set for April 1979

"While they were on strike, the whole project just sat there," he said. "Tune lost was greater than that of the bricklayers themselves."
No other problems with contractors or subcontractors are expected, Müller said.
The roof of the hospital recently was made watertight, he said. Work on interior construction will be done during the winter months.
The remaining interior work includes completing walls, and installing floor coverings, lighting fixtures and ceilings, in addition to installing the fixed equipment.
MILLER SAID landscaping probably would not place until mid-1979.
"That is one element that can be put off if necessary," he said. "It is not essential to the operation of the bullying and can be finished after the hospital is occupied."
Improvements in the operation of the health facilities at the Med Center include new systems within the hospital. To improve housekeeping operations, the new hospital is equipped with pneumatic tubes for the disposal of trash and for the collection of soiled laundry.
An automatic delivery procedure will be carried out through a system of tracks above the ceiling. Miller said that the cost of the equipment and labor costs by eliminating hand deliveries.
Cars on the tracks will carry items between key points in the hospital. The system
can be programmed to guide the cars along the shortest route on the tracks.
Another new program is the freezing and storing of patient food. Food can be unfrozen immediately before being served to the patient, thus eliminating food waste and problems in the delivery of meals, according to hospital authorities.
