Watson Library Additions To Include Sun Terrace
Bv Jackie Stern
Construction workers will complete KU's first sun terrace in 1984- but it won't be used for sun bathing.
John Glinka, associate director of Watson library, said the sun terrace will adjoin a new basement entrance to the library. Sun chairs will be provided for students who wish to relax or study during the warmer months.
The sun terrace is one of the several additions being made during the $1,600,000 construction job at Watson.
THE FACILITIES of a bookstore during library hours will also be available to students. James Stoner, director of the Kansas Union book-store, said the annex, located in the basement area of Watson, will stock approximately 4,000 reference and non-fiction paperback books.
CONSTRUCTION workers are now working on a steam line to air condition the building. The air circulating units are located in the attic.
At intervals during the day construction noises infiltrate the library. A student librarian said the noise was "a little bothersome" to her, "but it did not seem to bother the other students.
The construction is progressing quite well and is expected to be completed by the summer of 1964." Glinka said.
A third addition to Watson will be a public elevator.
"THE DUST and odor spreads but they just sit there," she said, referring to the students, apparently absorbed in their work.
A major part of the $1,600,000 construction includes a stack tower eight levels high, and a new subbasement floor on the cast wing.
the basement level, extending eastward from the present undergraduate and periodicals reading room, will provide a department of special collections with space for books, readers and staff.
THE FIRST FLOOR, opening to the east from the front entrance, will be converted into an open stack reading room, the largest reading room in the building. The present education room will be converted into administrative offices.
Opening to the east from the present reference room on the second floor will be additional reading space and a work area for book cataloguing.
"After construction the library will accommodate 2,400 students easily," Glinka said. "Presently the capacity is 1,400."
The top floor of the building will be devoted to a graduate reading room with assigned private desks, seminar rooms and an area restricted to faculty members.
"The construction is being done in consideration of the increasing enrollment trend," he added.

Vesper Services Have Two Large Audiences
The KU Christmas vespers drew large crowds yesterday, as always, at both the afternoon and evening performances.
For residents of Lawrence and surrounding areas, as members of the University community, attending the Christmas vespers is a tradition.
SENIOR CITIZENS were seen on their way to Hoch Auditorium, where the annual program of Christmas music is held. Young men in suits and ties and women students with bouffant hair responded to the call of the brass choir from the outdoor balcony of Hoch. Babies injected a wail now and then into the vespers.
In their presentations, the concert choir, choral ensemble, and symphony orchestra presented both old and unfamiliar songs.
Members of the University Concert Choir marched in wearing blue and white robes and carrying lighted candles while singing "O Come, All Ye Faithful."
The lighted candles and the vibrations of the pipe organ were symbols of the excitement of the Christmas season.
The audience sang "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night," while the choir told of "The Annunciation" and "Christmas Day," for example.
FOUR TABLEAUX WERE presented. "Hope" depicted a man with arms outstretched toward the sky. "Carolers" pictured a group of singers serenading before a door. "The Annunciation" showed Mary and the angel Gabriel. "Adoration" presented Mary, Joseph, and Jesus while a woman knelt before them.
The stage was set as if a grand wedding were to take place between music and musicians. Soft lavender light filled the area. Candelabra and evergreen trees decorated the two ends of the stage.
Cunsebond and evergreen trees decorated the two ends of the stage. The recessional was "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing." The singers formed a line at the back of the auditorium.
