Campus Confuses Even Old Students
The second-year graduate student at the University of Kansas was puzzled.
"What building is that?" be asked a claimate the other day while pointing to a painting on the KU handbook for new students. The graduate student was told the building was Waton library, surely a "home away from home" for most grad students.
It just looked different because it showed how the library would look after two wings now under construction were finished this winter.
THUS, FRESHMEN won't be the only persons needing maps of the University of Kansas campus this fall. The old students also may need home help in identifying new buildings and expansion projects.
Seven new facilities are either ready for occupancy when classes begin here September 16, or will be completed before the end of winter.
Most expensive of the completed projects is the $1.9 million engineering hall located toward the west of the campus next to the Nuclear Reactor building. The new building relieves the crowded conditions in Marvin Hall and the engineering laboratories behind Marvin.
The new engineering building includes a wind tunnel to replace the old feature under the east rows of seats in Memorial stadium.
Even farther west from the heart of the campus is the new Fred Ellsworth men's residence hall. Named after the retired executive secretary of the KU Alumni association, the new hall will accommodate 656 men.
ELLSWORTH JOINS three other men's and women's residence halls on a treat that was once called "Daisy Field" on the western edge of the campus. Although it doesn't look much bigger than the other three dormitories from a distance,
three of its ten stories are underground.
The addition of 6,500 seats and the construction of a press box for Memorial Stadium is expected to be completed in time for KU's first home football game, September 28.
The completed $840,000 addition to Dyche hall nearly doubles existing space for laboratories and research for the KU Museum of Natural History. More than half of the project was financed by two federal grants and private funds. None of the addition will be used for museum displays.
As for the additions at Watson library, an east wing (on ground once occupied by the old Journalism Shack), and the new stacks filling in the southwest corner, make Watson one of the larger buildings on campus.
The work on the library won't be completed any too soon, according to librarians. They're trying to figure out what to do with the overflow from the library's 1-million volume collection.
WORK IS expected to be finished soon on a new chapter house for Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity members will move into their new chapter house before the winter is over. Both buildings are located near Stouffer Place, the housing area for married students.
That takes care of the immediate construction work, but a new $750,000 Blake hall will be started before the school year ends along with a new chapter house for Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
JACK MITCHELL, KU FOOTBALL coach, will start the season ranked 23rd among major college coaches who have been involved in at least 60 games. Mitchell's record in 10 years at Wichita, Arkansas and Kansas is 59-35-6.
