"Will it be?"
"Ey the time of the game."
"How about the PA system?"
"Be ready for the game."
"How about the telephones?"
"Be ready for the game."
SUCH IS THE situation at KU Memorial Stadium where the last minute finishing touches are being put on the enlarged and remodeled structure in preparation for Saturday's game against Syracuse.
Final inspection of the stadium was at 9 a.m. today.
New additions and improvements include:
A $700,000 expansion project that added 6,500 seats and a new press box to the stadium.
- A new scoreboard and public address system.
- An improved concessions area
THE PRESSBOX provides newspaper, press association and sports officials room on the first deck. Ten individual offices on the second deck will accommodate six radio announcers, the public address announcer. One will be used by the timer and the scorer, and from the two end booths spotters for each of the teams will watch the game to relay information to the coaches on the field.
- Awnings and a new paint job.
THE ROOF of the pressbox is being used by photographers and camera men. A colorful crimson and blue canvas deck to protect the cameramen will be installed before the Syracuse game. Lomborg said.
The new public address system was necessitated because the old one was part of the scoreboard which was replaced.
The new system cost $16,000 and
has an automatic volume adjuster,
Noala, designed to increase and decrease volume at the same rate crowd noises increase and decrease.
A small parking lot was added to the south-west end of the stadium for contributors and other friends of the Athletic Department. The press representatives will park in the tennis courts just to the east of the new parking area.

Gammon, a pre-medicine student, is spending his junior year at the University of Munich, Germany, where he is studying natural sciences and German.
The $200 award is given by former KU German instructor, Miss Irma Spangler, 644 Miss., in memory of her mother.

Potter Lake is no longer a healthy sanctuary for fish. As a matter of fact, no one is sure any fish remain in Potter Lake.
Still No Fishing at Potter
Last spring 1000 or more fish floated to the top of the lake, dead from constriction of their gill capillaries. This is similar to death by suffocation in a human being.
The Department of Buildings and Grounds just previously, had sprayed the area for the prevention of disease to the elm trees.
Ground Rules Foil Flyer
At present there are no plans to restock the lake, as long as the area is to be sprayed. Spraying is a regular procedure for the buildings and grounds department, to control disease of the shrubbery on campus.
ENGLAND — (UPI) — Robert Young, 17, has qualified as a pilot but can't drive a car properly.
Young failed his driver's test yesterday for cutting a corner, lack of courtesy to other drivers, not looking both ways at an intersection and failing to accommodate the car's speed to road conditions.
"I think the examiner was completely fair," he said.
Double Beds Favored
NEW YORK—(UPI) -Newlyweds of the 1960's are showing an increasing preference for the old-fashioned double bed rather than the twin beds their parents preferred, according to a survey by the Latex Foam Rubber Council. Sleep experts don't frown on this "togetherness" if the bed is kingsize and gives each person enough mattress room for maximum rest.
