Law students and faculty packed up their books and papers in old Green Hall eight years ago and walked across campus to the new Green Hall. But they didn't forget the old building, now called Lippincott Hill, or the man it was named for? University, then, the first dean of the School of Law.
That spring, on the last day of classes, many of the students asked Paul Wilson, now a professor emeritus of law, to walk with them to the hall that had been the school's home for 72 years.
And today students and faculty plan to continue the tradition at 3:30 p.m. by making the pilgrimage to old Green Hall on the last day of classes.
Wilson said Wednesday that when the procession reached the hall, the group would loiter near the statue of Green, which stands in front of the building, and that one of his students passed away at Jaw School, as students did years ago. AND WILSON PLANS to lead the procession, as he has done every time.
spring since 1978.
"It's a time for having fun, it's nothing serious." Wilson said. "Each year we walk to the old building and I tell about the history of the law school and some anecdotes of things that happened there."
WILSON WILL TAP his cane, which once belonged to Green, and the procession will begin. Years ago, it was a tradition for third-year law students to carry canes, said John Kobler, Lawrence second-year law student who has participated in the walk for the past two years.
The school was moved because it had grown too large for the old building, Lippincott Hall now houses the Study Abroad program and African studies, and some classes are taught there.
Students and faculty will meet outside Green Hall's north entrance and make their way across to Murphy Hall and up the steps behind Wescoe Hall. KU police will stop traffic for the procession as students walk past Watson Library and across to Lippincott Hall.
Upon arriving at Lippincott, Wilson said he planned to take the students and faculty on a tour
through the building's dark paneled hallways and classrooms and examine the graffiti students wrote long ago.
Then they plan to sit outside on the steps where young law students used to linger and listen to Wilson tell stories.
Kohler he remembered a story Wilson had told the group last year about a law student in a class taught by Green.
"But Jimmy Green wouldn't be outdone by these students, so he taught his class outside around the student who was locked up. So the kid never did miss a class."
"There was a kid who never missed class, so to play a joke on him, his classmates locked him to a rack outside the building so he'd miss a class," Kobler said.
Wilson also said law students used to sit on the steps of old Green Hall, which was built in 1904, and whistle and sing to women who walked by.
In 1981, when Wilson announced his retirement, more than 350 students and faculty went on the walk, Wilson said.

The following is one answer to the requests for more study space and the distinction of non-smoking areas.
THE KANSAS AND BURGE UNIONS
1. Beginning Tuesday, May 7, the Regionalist Room on level five of the Kansas Union has been made available for non-smoking students to use for study purposes. With the exception of Sunday, May 12, the hours for both study rooms are 7 to 10:30 p.m. through the finals period.
Last year, the Kansas and Burge Unions initiated an on-going survey to help us determine how you feel about the services we provide. We were extremely pleased with both the number and the quality of your responses, which enable us to pinpoint needed areas of improvement within the Unions. In response to your suggestions, we have already implemented a number of operational changes.

Dear Union Patron.
In addition to the study areas mentioned above, the Burge Union is a nice place for quiet study during the day, as well as in the evening. We would like to thank you for your many valuable suggestions. Please continue to voice your suggestions to the Union administration so that we can both make the Unions better places for everyone.
2. In order to recognize the rights of both smokers and non-smokers, we have designated the Oread Room on level five of the kansas Union as the "smoking" room. This room will be open for studying during the same periods as the non-smoking study room.
