sparked a student petition last fall that gathered 3,000 names.
The six possible site plans offered by the architects included one that would leave every tree in the area intact, several that would permit further expansion in the library Science Building and one that would place the library next to Hoch Auditorium.
Max Simpson, vice president of the architect company, said there was a lot of interest in the plan that would connect the library to Hoch Auditorium.
The University has divided planned construction of the library into two phases,
Kanoy said this plan, which would require the closing of the service drive behind Wesco Hall west of Hof, would preserve the elm tree and the most open construction without affecting the underground steam tunnels and utility lines.
with the first expected to cost $13.9 million and tentatively scheduled to be completed in 1989. A 91,000-square foot building is planned for phase one, and an additional 80,000 square feet are intended for phase two.
"One major advantage for this particular design is that it gives a front door right
on Jayhawk Boulevard." Kanoy said. None of the other designs offers this option.
Wiechert said this would be consistent with the University's long range plan to remove all non-academic and visitor-facilities from the heart of campus.
Fraser continued from p. 1
Wiechert said the conversion of Hoch to library and classroom space now would be impossible without financing for a performing arts building to replace Hoch. He said that it was a "viable option but the timing and the dollars are not coming together."
Fraser's decor was as imposing inside as it was outside.
The hall's 54 spacious rooms were finished in oak, pine, and black walnut and were entirely free from the insulting excreasure of paint. The Dearborn Park Mall is
"Now by the Grace of God, we have a building nearly completed that has not its peer in the whole land," said Chancellor Boehringer. "We are the public opening of the hall on Dec. 2, 1987."

displayed. Students walking near the present Fraser Hall are familiar with the "Fraser blast", a strong wind that for years has shattered papers and assignments of unyears students.
In the early 1900's, Fraser housed the departments of natural history and chemistry, the law and engineering schools, the education offices and a museum a library.
Fraser's golden years began to lose their glitter as the hall aged and space became crowded.
THE LOW, DAMP basement and the fourth and fifth floors — all never intended for classes — were used. A student compelled to climb from the basement to the fifth floor had to trudge up 118 steps. Subdividing the original large and airy rooms decreased ventilation, and the once polished wooden
floors became cracked and ingrained with dirt.
In the '50s, craftmanship took a back seat to convenience. Deteriorating classrooms and offices were concealed with wall board and painted various shades of yellow, blue, green, and brown. The wooden floors were replaced with tile, and the red tiled roof was covered with shingles.
The Regents allocated funds to plan a replacement for Fraser Hall in 1962 because the building no longer was efficient and economical.
Originally, the new Fraser Hall was to have been built to the east of old Fraser, which would have been razed five years later. But construction vibrations from Blake Hall and the addition to Watson Library hurried old Fraser's demise.
Gerry L. Kelly, professor dies after a short illness
Gerry L. Kelly, 46, professor of electrical and computer engineering, died Wednesday at the University of Kansas Medical Center after a short illness.
Mr. Kelly was admitted to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Jan. 10 and transferred to the Med Center on Monday. He had suffered cuts with his liver since a childhood incident.
This semester he was to have taught two courses in micro-computer systems, application and system design. Mr. Kelly also was conducting research, partially financed by the NSF and supported by the Office Administration. He began teaching at KU in the fall of 1965 as an assistant professor.
"He was very much a friend to the students and always acted in their interests," said Gary Minden, assistant professor of electrical engineering.
Mr. Kelly helped Minden to get a research assistant when Minder was an undergrad. She was a computer science
Minden said Mr. Kelly recently had spent over a year researching computer networks that would be used for aircraft control at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"Carrying forward what he had accomplished and maintained in his department," said Joseph Daugherty, acting chairman and professional electrical engineering, said yesterday. "You

Mr. Kelly was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and the Jayhawk Kiwanis Club and an alumnus of Triangle University. He was selected to Who's Who in Engineering
Survivors include his wife, Linda, three sons and one daughter.
