Dykes to Inhabit Renewed House
The new University of Kansas chancellor, Archy Deke, will have a completely refur-
ishment to his department.
The 80-year-old residence is being entirely painted, recarped, cleaned and repaired. Some shrubberry work and touch-up painting is being done on the exterior.
"The work is long overdue," Chancellor Raymond Nichols said. "Some of the carpeting has been there since (Franklin) Murphy was chancellor in '51."
The house has provided a home for KU chancellors since it was donated to the University.
Each room in the house is being painted, and gold carpeting is being laid on the first floor. The furniture on the first floor is being cleaned, and floors in the house will be cleaned.
Broken windows are being replaced, and damaged interior woodwork will be repaired.
ON THE SECOND floor, some new drapes will be added, and mirrors will be installed in the bathrooms, a bedroom and a dressing room. Clamps will also be placed on the second floor.
Work on the outside of the house will include removal of several large cedar trees. Nichols said that the trees had become too large and that they were full of dead branches. The trees will be replaced with low growing shrubbery.
Some painting and some repair work will be done on railings and other woodworking projects.
THE DECISION to begin the renovating this semester was made in order to take advantage of the vacancy last summer by Chancellor E. Laurence Chammer Jr.
Total cost of the refurbishing has not been determined. The KU Endowment Association is paying for the carpeting and the Uniting Building for the painting, cleaning and shrubbery work.

someone living in the house, even if he was gone for a month.
"This is a one-year position and we chose to live in our own house," he said.
However, the house has not been vacant for the entire year. "In the fall, Steve Cauffman and his wife (the guest house caretakers) lived in the house as a matter of protection," Nichols said. Cauffman moved out of the house when work was started.
Nichols he be thought that the last time any major work was done on the residence was in the summer of 1899 after Watkins died and before Chancellor Dewal Maltoy moved into the house in the tail. Maloti was the first chancellor to occupy the house.
Work on the house is to be completed by May 20. KU Graduates and their parents will be able to view the house at a reception during commencement exercises.
