University Daily Kansan
By JOHN P. DONICA Kansan Staff Writer
Several minor renovations are being planned that are expected to improve services in the near future at Lawrence and will help build the building within set safety standards.
Approval was granted March 21 at the last regular meeting of the hospital's board of trustees for the expenditure of approximately $100,000 for the renovations, according to Charles Deniston, hospital administrator.
" our critical area at the moment is in surgery," Denmion said. " we are going to be doing operations in a wall between two existing small operating rooms to form one larger, more functional
Among areas to be remodeled are the hospital's surgical area, south wing exits, a waiting room in the intensive care unit, and a central stairwell area.
Better sterile technique will result from enclosed windows. Demission of air and moisture with storage doors will keep stored items cool.
and surgery, will result from the formation of the large operating room.
WORK SHOULD begin on this phase of the renovations in May or June, or as soon as necessary materials arrive, Denniston said.
Work on emergency exists to be added to the outside of the south wing of the building.
"the addition of the stairwalls will bring us into the proper safety specifications,"
The smallest of the four projects will be the reburbling of the family waiting room in use in the intensive care unit. The project will include an anonymous donor, Depression said.
The changes will include repainting the room, recarpeting it, improving a heating and cooling system and adding new furniture.
Specifications for public buildings are drawn up by the National Fire Protection Agency and most states, including Kansas, adopt them.

Most of the work will be concerned with the doorways, Dennison said. A new door system will make possible the sealing off of fire and smoke from both fire and smoke, spreading of both fire and smoke, he added.

Denniston said long range plans for the
"Relocating of the emergency room is a very definite need." Demonston said.
"These are all real needs for the future," he said, "and we want to, and must, keep pace with the growth of the Lawrence community."

State Needs Young Grads For Future, Owen Says
The talents of Kansas young people are needed to solve the problems of Kansas rather than the problems of other states, Dave Owen, Kansas lieutenant governor and chairman of the Kansas Economic Development Commission, said in a speech here Monday night, as part of the Delta Tau Delta speaker series.
"Young people graduate from Kansas colleges and have a hard time trying to find a job here." Owen told a group of about 40 students. "They search elsewhere for a future."

KANI-FM, a University of Kansas radio station, received an Associated Press (AP) citation Sunday for best reporting of a single story. The award was presented at the Kansas AP Broadcasters Association's annual meeting in Wichita.

Owen said that if Kansas could develop more jobs, it could stop the population shift from rural to urban areas and stabilize the total economic picture of the state.
He cited the new Oscar-Mayer plant in Warehoe as a new industry that he helped build.
"We should be out trying to attract this kind of business and not apologize for the situation."
He said that he had visited Kansas' six state colleges and universities to request that the administrations and students help him with his research and commission in solving the state's economic
The commission is attempting to coordinate graduate research to help attract such businesses as electronic firms, processing and shipping distributors. He will soon name ex-officio members to the commission from the six schools.
The class will be for those students who are not progressing satisfactorily and whose activities may lead to suspension, according to David Kendall, assistant superintendent for instruction and personnel.

A "half-way" class at South Junior High was approved as a trial program for the remainder of the school reay by the Board of Education on March 19, 2013.

Criqui said that a teacher had not been baked yet but that the class would begin when it was ready.
He said that the class would be limited to
'Pink Pig' Gets KU Debut Solving Chemistry Riddles
A unique video projection apparatus known as the "pink pig" will allow approximately 500 chemistry students to observe a demonstration in solving chemical logic problems Wednesday morning in Hoch Auditorium.
Ronald Crain and Al Lata, lecturers in the department of chemistry, are responsible for the demonstration, which involves projection of video output from a chemistry computer program onto an 8- by 10-foot screen.
Students will submit problems to the program through a computer terminal in Hoch. A video camera aimed at the terminal's teletype will then project the computer's responses through the "pink screen" of the computer. The computer is connected on-line to the Honeywell 635 computer in Summerfield Hall, where the program is being run.
"I't has a program to teach lab techniques," Crain said Monday. "It's a program to teach chemical logic in the process of identification of ions in chemical solutions."
The demonstration was presented to
nernustry zz students Monday morning in Hoch, Crain said. At that time students at the terminal used the computer program to solve unknowns provided by the program. Wednesday the students will present their own unknowns for the program to solve.
