AOPi site tests finished
Building plans for the Sigma Nu Place lot purchased by Alpha Omicron Pi security are not yet finalized, but a building standby is planned, standing by AOPI officials said yesterday.
The Lawrence firm, Peters, Williams and Kubota, has completed the original site tests to determine whether the land is suitable for a new building. It has been drawn to put up the house plans, according to Sue Lewis, administrative manager at the national organization in Nashville, Tenn.
Williams and Kubota, they had not yet been notified of further plans concerning the property.
ACCORDING TO Dale Glenn of Peters.
"We were hired to determine whether it was feasible to put up a sorority house in the site and that's as far as it has gotten," he said.
Lewis said the AOP1 executive board would consider a number of house plans at the March 19-23 meeting, then decide which to submit to Glenn.
"Particulars on the plans are really hard to say until the board meets in March," she said.
According to Jenny Struble, the AOPI area representative in Topeka, the house would hold about 80 to 90 women and be comparable in size to surrounding fraternity and sorority houses. Other than providing for the house are still unknown, she said.
LEWIS SAID the house was scheduled to be completed by fall 1981 and that building probably would start this fall after the architect had drawn up his plans.
According to Glenn, drawing up the plans would take about two to three months.

Museum's animal products exhibit shows endangered species' plight
By KEVIN MILLS Staff Reporter
a jar of sun tan lotion made from turtle oil, a can of whale meat in sugar soy sauce, and a shoe made from Tegu zigzag sandals. We now exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.
A coat made from the fur of Geoffrey's cats, a rare species of cat found in the South American Andes Mountains, is one of several fashion items in the display.
The plight of endangered animals is examined in "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" an exhibition in Dvehle Hall.
Most of the items were originally conceived from travelers at border customs checks by agents of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who loaned the specimens to the University of Texas in an effort to increase public awareness of laws protecting endangered species.
"It took 21 cats to make that coat," said Ruth Gennrich, public education director for the museum. "There are more skins in there. There are in museums in the United States."
Gennrich said the U.S. Endangered Species Act (1973) and the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (1972) had done little to limit the number of endangered animals in the United States.
But those acts do not help animals in foreign countries, Gennrich said. International law exists through the 58-ton
Convention on Inter-national Trade in
Animals. The Convention requires that the law applies only to the import and export of animals. The killing or capture of species, the protection of habitat, and interstate trade in animals are subject to the Convention.
The state of Kansas has passed laws protecting the Neosho madison, the grotto salamander and several species of fish, Gennrich said.
The black-footed ferris once abundant in Kansas prairie dog towns, is now considered the most endangered mammal in North America, she said.
