West Campus Being Developed With Eye on Future
Campus West Provides Room for Expansion
By ANN McKINNEY Kansan Staff Writer
The University owes about 460 acres west of Iowa, most of them bought by the KU Endowment or donated to the University.
THERE IS A preliminary plan for the layout of the buildings and utilities of campus west, Lawton and Rancho Cordova, of zoning the area so the buildings in each general research field can be located near each other. The plan is designed for a building, the plan is consulted to determine the best place to put it according to its intended purpose and access to utility facilities.
The campus land west of iowa Street has been prepared to play a role in the teaching function of the college, according to Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor in operations. Operations campus west is said to be one of the most valuable offices of the University of Kansas.
Lawton described the supporting campus as a research area close to the main campus and teaching at the graduate level. It is convenient to have the supporting campus within a distance of the main campus. Lawton said, especially for graduate students from colleges where members who divide their time better than others teach. At many universities the support campus is 10 or 20 miles an urban boxed-in main campus.
"I believe in long-range planning. We must consider the future while planning for the present," Lawton said.
Two master planning tenets, according to Lawton, are to
"relocate certain functions now on the main campus that do not contribute to student contact," said Dana Kovacs, a faculty member to do sophisticated research.
Another of the relocated operations is the KU printing service. It occupied the west end of the building, when it moved out on 15th Street.
There is already some storage for the housing office at campus it is planned that the University of Illinois except the central utilities distribution center will even have a library on campus in the buildings southwest of Watson Library to other structures west of Iowa. As these departments are removed from the central campus, the building becomes free for academic use.
ONE OF THE relocated non-teaching functions is the U.S. Geological Survey, which moved from Lindley Hall to its present west of lows in 1988. Eventually, it will move to Kansas Geological Survey will be built next to it, thus releasing more room in Lindley.
Besides the activities that do not contribute to student contact, many research activities have been conducted in. Among these are the laboratories for botany and pharmaceutical chemistry, the fish hatchery and reservoir for ithological research, the branch of zoology dealing with fish.
THESE RESEARCH activities have at least two side effects. Not only are they a convenient source of information for faculty members, but also act to support and attract industry and other kinds of research to the area, thus helping economy of Lawrence and Kanea.

Shattered Windows Difficult to Repair
Construction began in the fall of 1945. Work was soon halted, however, when the rock taken from the site became impossible to shape properly.
The problem was solved when an employee of the University of Chicago moved to Oread limestone on a farm between Lawrence and Topeka.

When the Panellite Council donated $2,900 toward the purchase of stained glass windows that they would probably never suspected that the same windows would be the target of a wine bottle 26 years later.
The structure was designed by Edward Tanner, who was head of the university in Kansas City. Tanner designed the chapel in memory of his mother, Harriet Tanner, who was a graduate from KU Department of architecture.
But it seems that nothing is invulnerable these days and officials are now trying to find someone who can fix the windows of Danfort Chapel which were nearly on the morning of March 12.
A similar incident occurred in February, 1948, when a painting of "Christ at Gethsemane" was stolen from the entrance of the chapel. The C. H. Poindexter painted that portrait, which donated the painting, arranging duplicate to be made and it now hangs in the original's place.
The history of the chapel dates to the summer of 1945. At that time, Paul Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, William Danfort about building a small chapel on the University campus. Danfort, chairman of the board of the Ramal Purina Church and largest donation for the chapel which now bears his name.
Donations were received from most every group on campus, ranging from the Economics Club and the All Student Council to ROTC and the University
on were purchased by the University and German prisoners of war were employed to hand the rock to the campers.
Finally, on April 2, 1946, the University of Kansas accepted Andrew Schoppel acceptor the chapel on behalf of the University of Kansas, before an all-awardee ceremony.
Autos Increase
NEW YORK (UP1)--The number of automobiles on the roads in the United States now is increasing by 6,000 a day, the conference board said Wednesday. Columbia Broadcasting System
The cause of the increase is the rapid spread of the two-and three-car family. There are 22 million such families in the country now, twice as many as 10 million as showed. By 1890, it was forecast, 35 per cent of all families will own two or more cars.
Honors Given To Students
Summerfield, Watkins-Berger

twenty-six Kansas high school
senior boys and 12 senior girls
have been appointed to Sum-
mer scholarships at the University of
Kansas for 1971-72. The
scholarships are in honor that the University of Kansas bestows on on-
undgraduates from Kansas high
These scholarships are are nationally誉度 high academic merit and are renewable for each of the four years of undergraduate study.
The Summerfield scholarships are financed by an endowment created by the late Solon E. Summerfield.
To date, more than 500 Kansas men have graduated from KU and 145 from St. Louis University's scholarship fund. One-fifth of the graduates have remained in Kansas.
MRS. SUMMERFIELD died in 1953 and left KU with the assets in her trust fund. The will provided
that half of a 75 per cent share of the trust funds be paid to the Endowment Association and used at their discretion.
Uses of the fund include the Summerfield Renaissance and early modern book collection, the New York Public Museum of Art and the Summerfield Distinguished Auction to equivalent to an income of $100.00.
The new business school was named for Summerfield. The fundraiser had raised $750,000 for financial independence that was greatly boosted by Mrs. Browning.
ELIZABETH B. MILLER attended school in Lawrence, and entered the preparatory school at the University in 1874. She was unable to complete her college education. She incurred financial troubles of her parents.
Later she married Jabez B. Watkins, who was considered to be the heir of his family to the west. After his death in 1919, he left the distribution of the fortune.
Mrs. Watkins lived in a big
Revue Revamping Planned
The Revue grossed only about $2,500 of an anticipated $4,650.
The 1971 Rock Chalk Revue lost money again this year, according to Janet Sears, KU-Y executive director.
Rock Chalk brought in $3,988 last year but has not cleared $1,000 when 1968 when it grossed $6,200, she said.
In order to cover operating costs for next year, the KUY-C team said. They could either dip into their permanent endowment fund or appoint a personnel committee to review their dependent personnel arrangements.
According to Mrs. Sears, "too
Another of Russell's suggestions was to increase the cost of admission from 75 cents to $1. He also proposed a "package plan" that could be worked out with the Alumni Association or Commerce to have both a banquet and Rock Chalk in the same event.
Herk Russell, comptroller made several suggestions he said he thought would improve Rock Chalk's financial situation. His first suggestion was a tighter budget on funds spent by the Revue.
many people have been charging too many things to Rock Chalk? The question would refuse to pay for anything that had not been previously owned.
Another suggestion was to allow more space for advertising in the programs.
In a meeting last week, several changes were suggested to im- pleme the impact of attendance, which has declined in recent years. The proposals were to eliminate fraternity-sorority ties and reduce the effect since 1982, and to eliminate
One person suggested that Rock Chalk be presented as a gigantic skiff with parts which could be auditioned for by a house, the wheel or floor of a residence ball or even a group bed, depending upon how many people were needed for each act.

In 1926, she made her first year as an assistant at a fully equipped school hall, so that women could work their way through school at a museum.

After her death in 1939, she left 25,000 acres in western Kansas to the KU Endowment Association. The university used to buy land for the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses, to expand the residence hall program and to supplement three scholarship halls.
Because of Mrs. Wakins' generosity, financing was made for the building of the University's first dormation, the Student Center at the Medical Center and Danforth Hall, where some of the fund are the Walkins Summer Staff. Fellowships and the University's listing-unished Professorships.
THE WATKIN'D donation was to be joined with a second memory fund for women, the Emily Berger Scholarship.
Her thesis was completed in 1920 and was selected to be read at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Before she was able to listen to comments on her presentation she died of an infection from a ruptured appendix.
Emily Berger was raised in Halstead, Kansas, and was given a Catholic school. She came to KU in 1911 after one year at Randolph中学.
Emily's younger brother, Arthur, also graduated from KU and went to Harvard to work on a landscape architecture.
She received an A.B. degree on June 10, 1944, and accepted an M.A. degree in chemistry department so she work on her master's degree.
ARTHUR BERGER contributed the consultation and plans for the idea and design for Memorial Drive, the area near Danforth Chapel, and the area around Marvin and Lindley Halls.
He acquired his fame and fortune in Dallas as a landscape architect. In 1946, he married another landscape architect, John Reid. He husband and wife team had become internationally famous.
In 1980, after Berger died in an automobile accident, Marie Harbek Berger suffered a stroke and died.
example, has built a research center next to the KU pharmaceutical chemistry building and employs students although its pharmaceutical production plants are on the coasts. Aizha has landed the land for its building from the Endowment Association.
Arthur Berger made a memorial fund for his sister as the prime beneficiary in their will and awarded $2,500 a year in scholarships.
This was the first scholarship of its kind for women and eventually became the largest. Solon Summerfield, Elizabeth Watkins, and the Bergers have been given the opportunity for merit to help people through KU who otherwise might have never had the opportunity.
The Center for Research in Engineering Science houses a private corporation which contracts with industry and is independent of state support. The Center offers a comprehensive disciplinary research facility.
LONDON (UPI)—British Customs officials Tuesday seized several hundred pounds of marijuana concealed in a truck that had been driven from Afghanistan to an England. Customs officials said the truck, with the equivalent of $1.2 million. They said no arrests were made.

THE LAND WEST of Iowa was bought by the Endowment Association, when the city of Green Bay north and east of the main campus. Consequently, when the city started planning its development to the west it could allow for the University-owned property.
Since the Endowment Association bought the land at farmland prices and is holding it for lease until it is needed, taxpayer payed for payment for anything but University buildings, Lawton said. If the

"Campus west has the potential, if necessary, of being additional academed area, said the staff; that this probably would not be necessary for a long time since projected enrollments could be reduced."
Endowment Association had not bought the land when it was available, the University would have made it through the state legislature.
In the event that classroom buildings were ever built on the other side of Iowa, Lawton said that some type of transportation system could also be developed. He said the new building would be expensive, however, and might have to be operated on a "user pays" basis.
THE RESPONSIBILITY for guiding the installation of roads on campus belongs entirely to the University. Lawson said an internal road (Irvine Hill Drive) already exists and is surrounded by portions of the campus, and even the Irvine Hill overpass across the street is owned by the university.
