"Apparently it's a rumor every year that the building will be destroyed, but this year we know it's true," Kapsner said. Lindley Annex is located south of Lindley Hall at Naismith Drive and Crescent Road. Architecture dean says demolition of crumbling studio is long overdue BY NATE KARLIN nklarin@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER The rumors that have been floating around the architecture department for years will come true by next fall. This summer Design and Construction Management plans to demolish the Lindley Annex, a small one-story building south of Lindley Hall at Naismith Drive and Crescent Road. "I was told when I came to KU that it was going to be gone in two semesters," Pat Bruin, St. Louis sophomore said. The news of the annex's demolition by next fall surprised Bruin because studios in the annex were available online for next semester. he said. The Lindley Annex tenants will likely be moved to studio space in Snow and Marvin Halls. KU officials are still working on the final accommodations. He said the management had enough funding to demolish the building a year ago, but the University reduced its Repair and Rehabilitation funding by 40 percent, said Jim Modig, director of Design and Construction Management. Danny Tennyson, Columbia, Mo. sophomore said he heard the annex was supposed to be demolished by the current semester. "It's a nice place to work and you don't have to worry about its upkeep," he said. Despite Tennison's dislike for the building, he said it would be missed. But it will be nice to move into a studio with air conditioning and heating, he said. The annex uses old-fashioned heaters with pilot lights. For architectural officials, the confirmation of the annex's demolition has been at least 10 years overdue, said John Gaunt, dean of architecture. "It's a good move," he said. "It's just been a clear recognition of a building that has served its time." Adding more parking spaces to the lot is one possibility when the annex is razed, said Donna Hultine, parking director. "There's something about the architectural culture, one learns to love such things or at least appreciate it," Gaunt said. Tennyson said more parking, in place of the building, would be good as long as the spots accommodated architecture students. Lindley Annex was a mess hall relocated in 1946 from Coffeyville to accommodate the large number of students who arrived after World War II. Modig said. The former mess hall was supposed to be a temporary building, but has lasted for more than 50 years. Gaunt said the price of complete renovations would have been impractical. Gaunt said there had been jokes about the annex over the years, but at the same time students and administrators had learned to appreciate it. he said.

Each squad will have seven men and seven "There's a preconceived notion that being a male cheerleader isn't cool and wimpy, and it's not," Jarzemkoski said. "The guys have to lift the girls — 100 pounds or so — over their heads and it takes a lot of strength."
