Shack Will Go By End of Year
Page 3
LAWTON SAID the anatomy building will be removed before the end of the present calendar year. Final plans for the library additions will be announced about the same time.
"It's just like a game of musical chairs," said Keith Lawton, director of the physical plant.

He was referring to the moves necessary in the next few months so construction can begin on the additions to Watson Library. Here is what will be involved:
The anatomy department will move into the quonset hut presently used as the radioactive isotope laboratory.
THE EAST addition to the library will extend over the site now occupied by the anatomy building or "shack," making necessary the razing of the building.
The radioactive isotope laboratory will move into the nuclear reactor building.
The library project involves two additions with a total cost of $1.8 million. The east addition will contain four stories and will measure approximately 100 feet square. It will house special collections, will provide additional work and administrative space, and will contain a new reading room.
THE SECOND addition will provide additional stack area. This eight-level addition will be located at the southwest corner of the present building.
Lawton said the project also includes extensive remodeling of the existing library because of numerous relocations of areas. The entire library, including the present structure, will be air-conditioned.

Four Japanese journalism students Thursday compared notes with their KU counterparts as part of their 75-day tour of the United States.
Japanese Students Compare Schools
The four students, Yusuke Ishizu Kensuke Inukai, Kiyoshi Miyoshi and Hajime Hasegawa are all students at Sophia University, Tokyo. All are members of the Sophia Journalism Department Student Society. Before leaving the US in mid-November, they plan to visit a total of 21 universities and colleges and to tour the journalism school or department of each.
"We came to the United States to observe the activities and problems of schools and departments of journalism and to study the real value of local newspapers, which are not popular in Japan," said Hasegawa.
The US tour began as an idea two years ago. Three Tokyo business firms are providing two cars and the gasoline necessary for the trip. Since arriving in Los Angeles Sept. 1, the four students have visited UCLA, the University of Utah, the University of Colorado, the University of Nebraska and KU.

Construction on KU's new women's dormitory is approximately 40 per cent complete and on schedule, according to J. J. Wilson, dormitory director.
New Dorm Will Help Meet Housing Crisis
He said the residence hall will probably be ready for occupancy by next fall.
"A LOT DEPENDS on how much work can be completed before bad weather sets in," he said. "If the concrete frame can be completed and closed in, weather won't be a factor this winter."
The new dormitory, the third of six eventually planned for the area along Iowa Street south of 15th, will house 444 residents and will have
the same room plan as Lewis and Templin.
Mr. Wilson said the dormitory will probably bring the University's housing capacity to the level needed for the expected enrollment.
"WE CAN ONLY make an educated guess on next fall's enrollment," he said, "but we believe University housing will be adequate."
He said it may be necessary to house three women in several rooms next fall, but not to the extent necessary this fall.
There was a 15 per cent overload on women's housing at the beginning of the semester, he said.
A SPECIAL FEATURE of the
dormitory will be its design for possible future mixed occupancy.
Two stairways and two elevators are being constructed, he said, and a removable partition can be placed across the center of the lounge on each floor.
Construction cost of the residence hall will be $1.5 million, and total costs will be above $1.9 million.
MR. WILSON SAID the Board of Regents has approved KU's plan to secure a loan for the fourth dormitory in the area. It will be financed by the "quarter-mill dorm levy" passed by the 1955 state legislature.
Construction should begin next spring, Mr. Wilson said, with occupancy planned for Fall, 1963.
