New Living Group Will House 970
The KU new residence hall approved by the Board of Regents last Sunday will be virtually the same as the other halls at KU except for one thing—its size.
It will house 970 students, 300 students larger than Fred Ellsworth Hall. KU's largest residence hall. It was completed last summer.
THE HALL WHICH will be completed for the fall semester of 1965 will be built on a T plan. Two wings will run east and west and another will run south.
The only difference in the design of the structure will be slight variations in the outside brickwork and design of the entrance.
The university is uncertain which sex will be housed in the hall.
"IN THEORY it will be for men," Laurence Woodruff, dean of students, said, "but we can use it any way we want to."
This leaves open the possibility for it being used for women or for both men and women. "Any one wing can be used separately," Dean Woodruff said.
The hall will have common lounge and dining facilities. Like Ellsworth Hall, there will be two cafeteria serving lines, and three elevators will be installed. The dining area will be on the first floor.
THE MAIN ENTRANCE will face north, and lounge will be on the second floor.
The dormitory office, now located in the basement of Strong, will be moved to one wing on the main floor of the new hall.
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said he hoped to get the plans of the $3.8 million building to contractors by the middle of January. He said he hoped to have all bids submitted in time for the February meeting of the Board of Regents.
IF THE REGENTS approve bids, construction should begin soon after, Wilson said.
The new hall is being financed by $3 million in Federal revenue bonds, and an $800,000 appropriation from the mill tax levy from the Board of Regents.
Dean Woodruff said, "There will probably be one resident director and three assistant directors, but we really haven't gotten into that yet."
ASKED IF HE anticipated any particular problems, he said, "I scarcely know what to anticipate."
Parking for the new hall will be either across the street from the new hall, west of Iowa Street, or east of Stouffer Place, Wilson said.
A road will be completed from the parking area of Allen Field House into the Engel Road Residence Hall Area by September, 1965, Wilson said. It is not part of the plans of the new hall but will be financed in another, as yet undetermined manner, Wilson said.
Rusk began his meetings with a discussion of the Indonesian-Malaysia problems with Commonwealth Secretary Duncan Sandys. A talk with Foreign Secretary R. A. Butler, the second of Rusk's 24-hour visit here, followed.

Rusk Meets With British About Home's Winter Visit
In studying the behavioral work of animals. Prof. Michener said, "For a study to be in detail you have to spend a lot of time studying behavior patterns. But, by looking at the things they build you get a summation of some of their behavioral patterns."
Indonesia's pressure on Malaysia, the newly formed British Commonwealth Federation, also played a prominent part in Rusk's meeting with Butler last night, informed sources said.
The sources said one of the main topics throughout was the issue of contacts with the Soviet Union.
The meetings all were informal and there were no communique. But diplomatic sources described them as cordial.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Council, which Rusk attended earlier in the week, agreed that diplomatic probes of Soviet intentions should continue.
LONDON, —(UPI)—Secretary of State Dean Rusk held a series of meetings with British officials today to prepare for Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home's visit to Washington in February.
Prof. Michener will deliver a talk on "The Nests of Bees," at the symposium.
Eutler plans to attend the Geneva disarmament talks when they resume next month and to take the opportunity to meet Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko there.
Britain wants to make sure that its contacts have American backing. U.S. officials said in Paris yesterday that Rusk gave Butler such assurances during the NATO talks.
Rusk had a lunch date with the conservative Premier, who met President Johnson briefly after President Kennedy's funeral last month and will come back to Washington Feb. 12 for a two-day round of talks.
William W. Hambleton, professor of geology and national director of Geo-study, will deliver a report on the Geo-study program at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Rusk told Butler yesterday he has no objections to such a meeting but does not plan to meet Gromyko himself unless the Geneva talks show signs of progress, which seems unlikely at this point.
Western diplomatic unity was in
Prof. Hambleton said the program was for the improvement of programs in geology.
Geologist To Report on Program
The 1963 convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science will be held in Cleveland on December 26-30. This will be the 130th meeting of the AAAS.
Geo-study is a national program sponsored by the American Geological Institute and founded by the National Science Foundation.
"THE PROGRAM began two years ago with a grant of approximately $126,000." Prof. Hambleton said.
A PAPER PREPARED by H. B. Latimer, professor emeritus of zoology and Paul G. Roofe, professor of zoology, will be delivered at the convention on "Organ Weights in the Late Larval Tiger Salamander."

These other issues were being discussed during Rusk's visit, the sources said:
mutual cooperation, to improve the effectiveness of science in the promotion of human welfare, and to increase the public understanding of science.

Other members of KU's faculty who are attending or will have papers given are Joseph Camin, professor of Entomology, who will deliver a paper on "The Behavior of Parasitic mites and ticks" at a symposium of the National Association of Biology Teachers.
It is the world's largest federation of scientific societies with more than 90,000 members and more than 300 affiliated societies. There were approximately 1,800 papers given at last year's convention in Philadelphia.
- East-West trade. The United States opposes granting long-term credits to the Russians; Britain wants to do business on this basis.
- The multi-lateral nuclear sea force. The United States sees this projected mixed-crew fleet as the best answer to dividing control of NATO's nuclear power. Britain has suggested alternative plans, such as a nuclear air force with crews from different countries.
Visiting Architect Holds Discussions
Bruce Goff, Bartlesville, Okla., architect and painter, will be a guest speaker here until the Christmas recess Dec. 21.
YES WE'LL BE OPEN DURING THE HOLIDAYS
He will talk in advanced architectural design classes and conduct day and evening discussion sessions for architecture students and interested visitors. His lectures often are accompanied by background music.
Prof. Hambleton will represent the local chapter of Sigma Xi, a national honorary research fraternity.
