Campus Changes Affect Fraser, Marvin, Dyche—
(Continued from page 17)
In the early days of Fraser, the auditorium was used for daily chapel meetings. Besides scripture reading and prayer, each student was required to make at least one speech a year during this time.
This practice was soon abandoned, however, when students began throwing bouquets to, or rather at, the speaker, occasionally missing in favor of a faculty member.
The auditorium was also the scene of many notable speakers—Woodrow Wilson, Rutherford B. Hays, Ulysses S. Grant, Gen. Sherman, Henry Ward Beecher and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Fraser has housed parties of all types, usually in the auditorium or the loft, which was described as the "campus necking parlor." It was soon after closed during the evenings.
In the days before the Lawrence water plant was built, rain which
Sports in Brief
KANSAS STATE, THEN KNOWN as Kansas State College of Applied Science and Agriculture, joined the Missouri Valley Conference in 1913.
JOHN DAVID CROW LED THE St. Louis football Cardinals in touchdowns last season with 17. He gained 751 yards rushing and 246 yards on pass receptions.
JIMMY STOUT, ONCE NEW Jersey's most popular jockey, is still active as a patrol judge at the state's thoroughbred tracks.
JOHN CHAPMAN WAS THE leading driver at Roosevelt Raceway last year with 71 victories. It was his first full season at the Long Island harness racing track.
CATCHER NIG CLARKE IS REPORTED in old baseball manuals to have hit eight homers during a Texas League game in July, 1902. According to the manuals, Corsicana defeated Texasarkana, 51-3.
collected in cisterns located beneath Fraser furnished all drinking water for the campus. Lawrence sanitary supply was later used.
Fraser has withstood wind damage, the threat of fire and pranksters but, as Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations puts it, "Fraser is a tired old building."
Its foundation is not sturdy enough, the wood construction and open stairway make it a fire hazard, and it is no longer large enough to be practical.
So, as a part of the University "Master Plan" building project, a new Fraser Hall will be built.
The plan is designed to rehabilitate certain parts of the campus on the hilltop to meet central classroom needs.
BESIDES FRASER, it includes Haworth and Robinson Gymnasium. Within the next ten years a new gymnasium will be erected on Naismith Road across from Allen Field House and a large classroom building will be erected where the gymnasium and Haworth stand now.
haston and Haworth stand now.
Substantial progress has been
made on the $750,000 replacement for Blake Hall, a six-story structure scheduled to be completed by September, 1964.
Foundation walls and interior columns for the lower floor are in the final stage of construction and progress has been made on the first floor deck.
The structure will contain 14 general-purpose classrooms, four case-study rooms and four seminar rooms on the first three floors. The top three levels will provide offices for the Governmental Research Center and the departments of political science, human relations, sociology and social work.
INTERIOR WORK ON the $1.8 million to Watson Library is scheduled to be completed by March. Outside work was finished in August.
Stack levels are being installed in the southwest addition to the building and some portions of the addition are being occupied as they are completed.
In addition to the major stack section, the new addition will include a bookstore for the sale of paperback books. It will be operated by the Kansas Union Book Store.
Lawton said the last remaining Sunnyside building, one of the 32 temporary structures built during the post-war period, will be torn down soon. It is now used by the dormitory system maintenance crew.
The new Engineering Building and Ellsworth men's residence hall were opened this September. A
$700,000 addition to Dyche Hall was first used for summer classes.
Recently completed was the Zone Y parking lot in the east campus area with a capacity for 200 cars. The west half of Marvin Hall Annex will soon be remodeled for use by the department of geology. Besides the replacement for Fraser Hall, projects in the planning stage include a $3.8 million residence hall next to Ellsworth Hall.
