The Tartan surface would permit the installation of movable bleachers on the north and south ends of the field house.
MILLER, who first made the proposal, said the $80,000 loan could not go into effect until the corporation raised $160,000.
It would also permit students to use the field house for recreation mornings, evenings and on weekends. The team will date four basketball courts.
The $80,000 loan would be added to a loan which the Endowment Athletic Department in 1966 to expand the east side of the building.

Miller said this $35,000 loan was originally made for a period of 15 years, but was being repaid ahead of schedule. Miller said the Endowment Association could lend him $80,000 without much difficulty.
Miller admitted that Wade Stinson, director of athletics, has said the Athletic Department did not have enough available to install the surface.
However, Miller said, he would like the Endowment Association to be ready to move if the Athletic Department finds the money.
Miller talked about the bus situation at KU. The Student Senate is now subsidizing the Lawrence service to give wide bus service to KU students.
MILLER SAID he would announce early next week whether he would recommend him for bus service past March 17.
The Student Senate has guaranteed support of the company until that date. The Student Transportation Committee of Student Senate has recommended that subsidies be ex-
Miller said he was optimistic for the extension of service past March 17. He said the Student Center had $800 a week on the bus service.
Miller said he expected the subsidy before March 17 to total $50,000. The subsidy spends a similar amount on subsides after spring break, the total subsidy will be far under the budget to subsidize the bus company.
"I think you have to conclude when we're providing a service for 15,000 users a week, it must have some value," Miller said.
Correction On Shelters
MILLER ALSO discussed school councils. School councils comprise Student Senate members on school policy making bodies, on school policy making bodies,
It was incorrectly reported in Wednesday's Kansan that the fallout shelter on campus and plant modification analyst, said Thursday that the shelters had never been built.

Stone said had the shelters been stocked at that time, the supplies would have become outdated about a year ago, and they hadn't.
Miller said this is an effort to open lines of communication between senators, the policy makers in their schools and students.
Since the council will have to

themselfs more directly with
schools and become in-
formed in them.
Miller said his number one concern this year had been trying to live up to campaign promises he made a year ago.
He said the shelters could be stocked after the completion of Wescoe Hall.

Miller's seventh accomplishment was the implementation of last spring's referendum on the national activity fee to support athletics.
