Architects feature functional furniture
By Frank McCleary
Kansan staff writer
The exhibit room in Marvin Hall could easily be mistaken for a modern furniture store. But where Ethan Allen might showcase Tiffany lamps, the exhibit room displays the semester-long creations of about 20 University architecture students.
The students in the Building Technology Practicum have planned, designed and constructed different pieces of furniture, including coffee tables, lamps and chairs. They are made from materials as glass, steel, copper, limestone and different types of wood. The students, most of whom are in their fourth year, fifth year or are graduated students, receive three hours credit for the course.
"It's not just making things and putting things together," he said.
Dan Rockhill, associate professor of architecture and urban design who teaches the course, said it was not a traditional University course, because the students planned a project that went beyond paper — to realit-
Rockhill said he graded the projects based on the students' mastery of design and craftsmanship. He said he also considered the complexity of the project.
eric Lewis, Baltimore senior, designed a chair with a steel frame, green leather seat and back, and two front legs made from Kansas limestone. He said he spent several hundred hours working on the chair.
The students are allowed to build whatever they want, except waterbed frames and stereo cabinets. Rockhill said.
on rapicogou, Girne, Cyprus, graduate student, built a chair from mostly salvaged products, including steel and rubber.
The materials included 505 screws, which he inserted in the seat of the chair in a special configuration.
Ali Yapicioglu, Girne, Cyprus, graduate student, explains how he made his chair, which has a seat made of metal screws.
"It's designed to the shape of my butt," he said.
He said the chair was designed to help him stay awake while working on projects through the night, and it was not as uncomfortable as it appeared.
"It's perfectly comfortable to me," he said.
The exhibit is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Friday at 216 Marvin Hall.
City to discuss new juice bar
The Lawrence City Commission decided last night that it would discuss possible regulations for activities in a new juice bar at its meeting Tuesday.

Juice bars, a juice bar at 012 N. Second St. that will feature totally male dancers, opens tonight.
The commission decided last right to discuss the issue in further detail.
"This is something that should be dealt with as soon as possible," said Doug Coump, city commissioner. "I think all of the commissioners feel the same way about this, that something needs to be done."
something needs to be done. The commission passed an ordinance Jan. 19 prohibiting nudity in establishments that sell alcoholic liquor and cereal malt beverages. The ordinance came after a Lenexa man, Jeffrey Criger, inquired about opening a bar featuring topless dancers within the city limits.
The juice bar would not have to comply with the ordinance because it would not sell alcohol.
"Some of the commissioners have expressed an interest in restricting behavior," Compton said. "I'm not in favor of having that type of establishment at all in our city limits."
Bob Schulte, city commissioner who was mayor when the alcohol-related ordinance was passed, said the commission did not consider including juice bars when it passed the ordinance.
passed the test. Schutte said that the addition of a juice bar in North Lawrence would undermine other development projects, such as the Tanger mall project, which will be located just west of Interstate 70's East Lawrence exit ramp, and improvements to the Union Pacific Railroad Station, on North Third Street.
"We were hoping to use those two projects as anchors for good things to happen in the middle of," Schulte said. "I don't feel that a juice bar is an appropriate business for an area that you're trying to develop."
Bob Moody, city commissioner and former president of the North Lawrence Improvement Co., said that he thought Lawrence citizens also were against the having a juice bar within the city limits.
moody said he received 16 telephone calls from concerned citizens between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m.yesterday before the meeting.
before the meeting "There was nobody, not one person, who said they were in favor of having the juice bar in North Lawrence," Moody said.
