Students bid goodby to old Green
By KARYN GIBSON

Students of the School of Law will bid farewell to old Green Hall today as they attend the final day of classes there. Monday, lectures will begin in the five classrooms of new Green Hall, situated on campus across from Learned Hall.
Signs in old Green yesterday said, "Wear a suit tomorrow. Show some R泵神."
Bob Dyart, president of the first-year class, said yesterday that about 100 students planned to gather at 3:30 this morning on the 72-year-old structure to say goodbye to the 72-year-old structure.
Since 1905, law students have attended classes in the three lecture halls of old Green, named after the school's first dean, James W. Green.
New Green's library, which takes up 55 per cent of the building's floor space, now contains 170,000 law volumes that were moved during a ten-day period, Martin Dickinson, dean of the law school, said vesterday.
THE NEW BUILDING has five floors and the 94,000 square feet of floor space almost three times larger than it will be. Student capacity will increase to 560 in new buildings, the maximum of 440 on the old building.
Evening and Saturday classes have been scheduled in the building in recent years to accommodate expanding law school facilities. This year in anticipation of the new facility,
Because the seven library stacks at old Green severely limited space, about 600 boxes of law books had been stored at Spencer Research Library for many years, according to Anita Head, associate professor of law and the law librarian.
THE BOOKS, MOSTLY duplicates, soon will be moved to the new library, she said.
"The old reading room was always packed to-toelow and spilling down the floor."
Head said she was pleased with the amount of study space in the new library.
Some students at old Green yesterday said there would be a nostalgic feeling about leaving the building, despite the improvement in facilities.
"I personally will miss the reading room because of the familiarity of the students who went there," Dave Larkin, president of the second-year law class, said.
DENNIS FEENEY, Wichita second-year law student, said he would most miss step-sitting, a tradition at the building since its early years.
"But I spent a lot more time there than most students, and I liked it because it was

Students said they also would miss being able to sprawl out in the chairs in the classrooms and take coffee anywhere in the building."
The new building already has the motto
"Clean Green" ascribed to it, and students food would not be allowed in the kitchen.
"You'd see people coming into class and shaking the seats, rearrang them to get on one that wouldn't fall a part." Feeney said of the class. "They were back from the floor. They swivel and lean out."
Students said they had always tried to get to class early to avoid the creaking and bending of the roof.
