Leaks nearly plugged at Moore Hall

The problem of water leaks at Moore Hall, the home of the Kansas Geological Survey, soon may be solved, the associate director of facilities planning, said yesterday.
By JOHN RODRIGUEZ Staff Reporter
Jim Modig, the associate director, said repairs on the West Campus building could be completed in three to four days if the weather stayed dry or 40 degrees. Winter weather had stopped completion of the repair work.
The repairs, which cost about $72,000, are being done by Mid Continental Restoration Company of Fort Scott.
since the building opened about 10 years ago.
Modig said a series of tests indicated that water had been seeping through hairline cracks in the mortar joints of the brick walls. As a result, puddles had formed next to walls in the building, he said.
"It's as close to finished as you can get," Modig said.

DEAN A. LEBESTRY, associate director for management and budget at the Kansas Geological Survey, said water leaks had been a problem

To solve the problem, workers placed waterproof foam in the open space between the outside and
interior walls, Modig said.
Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said the building could be insulated for the building, which would make it more energy efficient.
Modig used workers removed and replaced loose mortar from the exterior brick wall, recaulked some of the mortar joints and washed the brick walls.
Event aims to increase use of Burge

Brian Raleigh, SUA president, said he hoped the event would generate awareness of the building.
The Burge Union may be the best-kept secret on campus, but events like the 33-Hour Burge Splurge and the addition of more services will let the secret out, according to the director of the Kansas and Burge unions.
The 33-Hour Burge Splurge is scheduled for tomorrow and Friday. The event is sponsored by Student Union Activities and union staff.
"It takes time to establish a traffic pattern to that kind of facility," Jim Long, the director, said Monday. "Even though there are some people that use the facility quite heavily, it stifl is a well-kept secret."
DISC JOCKEYS from KLZR-FM 106 will promote the Burge Splurge on Thursday, 106 Day. Activities planned for that day are: People magazine's "Active People" photography exhibition; Wilderness Discovery open house from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.; stratomatic baseball exhibition at 7 p.m.; KJKH-FM 91 "Spin-on-the-Town"; and "Unidos" dance band in the party room from 9 p.m. to midnight.
"We're in the process of letting the secret out."
Activities planned for Friday are: People magazine's "Active People" photography exhibition; Wilderness Discovery open house from 1:30 to 5 p.m.; and entertainment by Steve Eley, singer and guitar player, from 2 to 5 p.m in the dining area on level two.
A special task force was organized to prevent further financial losses. The board cut back on improvements and prepared a conservative budget for the next year. But the situation was not hopeless, Warren Ferguson,

THE BURGE UNION opened in the summer of 1979, but reported a $138,000 deficit for fiscal year 1980. The University of Kansas Memorial Corporation Board said that inflation, poor publicity and unexpected labor and maintenance costs helped cause the deficit.
associate director of the Union, said in August 1980.
WITH THE FORMATION of three groups that concentrate on possible union changes and improvements, the addition of a media coordinator and the enhancement of comporary services for two two-occupied officials said they hoped concern for the Burge Union was turning into optimism.
Ambler said the Burge Union had been planned and built after the results of a study indicated that students wanted the building.

Long said that in 1980 bugs remained in the system and that the Burge Union "never really had a running start."
THE RECENT INSTALLATION of pay telephones, the new West Campus bus route — which serves the Burge Union — and the possible addition of a duplicating service will increase use of the building, Long said.
He said that the board in December approved the opening of a University Placement Center office in the Burge Union. He said the office would help bring students to the building.
the Burge Union is doing well.
