Renovation costs prevent addition of new buildings
By the Kansan Staff
The University of Kansas campus model in the Kansas Union can't keep up with construction at KU.
The model, which has been in the lobby of the Kansas Union since 1963, has several buildings missing. Although the model has been renovated three times since its installation, it hasn't been updated since 1976.
Some of the buildings missing from the model, which was a gift from the class of 1962, are the Frank R. Burge Union, Robinson Natoratium, the Summerfield Hall addition, the Visual Arts building, the Learned Hall addition and the K.S. "Boots" Adams Alumni Center.
Time has also forgotten to add to the model the buildings built on West Campus.
"It definitely needs to be done," said Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Union. "The problem is the cost of the remodeling."
When the Union unveiled the model, the original cost of the structure was $700. Since then, the model has been renovated three times — in 1969 at a cost of $993, in 1971 for $700 and in 1976 for $1,113.
"The possibility of remodeling in the near future is not in the immediate plans." Ferguson said. "But, it will be done."
"The expenditure of the funds would have to be put on hold until the campus and the Union are in better economic shape."
Ferguson estimated that renovation now would cost about $1,000 to $2,000.
"The University has grown quite a bit since 1976," he said. "Although it would be nice to have the model renovated, it is not absolutely necessary."
"The model is frequently visited by KU alumni, who might want to point out certain areas of interest," he said. "It is also popular during orientation."

Debate contest won by Dartmouth team
A Dartmouth College debate team from Hanover, N.H., last night defeated a University of Louisville team in the final round to win the 28th annual Heart of America Debate Tournament at the University of Kansas.
The team of Lenny Gail, Morton Grove, Ill., and Mark Koolegge, Glencove, Ill., beat the team of Gindy McClendon, S.D., and Mark Whitehead, Cleveland
The topic of the debate was the question of whether the producers of hazardous waste should be liable for damages caused by the waste.
THE WINNING TEAM proposed a plan to regulate any hazardous waste that comes from the disposal of smoke detectors. They also said that the producers of smoke detectors should be responsible for any harm caused by the hazardous material the devices contain.
Donn Parson, KU director of forensics, said the KU teams did not compete in the final rounds to avoid any questions of fairness. The KU teams did compete in the preliminary rounds of the tournament.
The Dartmort team defeated 40 other teams from across the nation.
Leiferman placed first in the speaking category, making her the second woman to achieve the first place award in the tournament's history. The last

time a woman received the award was in 1962.
Strange said the topic at the KU tournament was different from the topics that the debaters had researched and perceived because it was related to science.
Debate topics usually deal with political science and law, he said.
Glen Strickland, director of debate at Northeastern Oklahoma State, Tahlequah, Okla., said debate competitions taught debaters to think

John Bart, an assistant debate coach at KU, said the Heart of America tournament was truly an invitational debate tournament because invitations were sent to only the top teams in the country.
Safety coordinator advises planning for tornadoes
At most tournaments at other univer sities any school may compete.
By AMY BALDING Staff Reporter
The recent respite of blue skies and balmy weather prompted a few premature spring fever pangs among students, but for the KU police department, it signaled the onset of the tornado season.
John Mullens, KU coordinator of public safety.
This is one reason to think ahead about severe weather situations, said
May and June are typically months in which tornadoes most often occur. But, as recent temperature fluctuations have indicated, the only thing typical about Kansas weather is that it is unpredictable.
ANOTHER REASON is that on campus, the individual is more responsible for his own welfare because there are no routine tornado drills. It is a good idea for students to think ahead about the safest spots in the buildings they frequent most, because tornadoes can occur with little or no warning.
"You may have as little as a few seconds to take cover, and that's just not the time to figure out where you're going to go." Mullens said.
The nature of college life requires students to learn how to work on campus on computers, Mullane said. Port
that common sense includes heeding the warnings that are provided he said.
A tornado watch is issued when the potential for a tornado exists. A tornado warning is issued and sirens are sounded. A tornado卫星 is sighted in the air or on the ground.
"A second siren simply means that
the police shout, 'when a second sighting.'
Mullens said.
There is no all-clear signal, Mullens said. Radio stations will state that it is safe to leave shelter, but a second siren does not indicate that all is clear.
THE SAFEST PLACES in severe weather are low-level interior hallways, away from glass. Most
tornado injuries and deaths result from
fiving debris.
Closets, small rooms and areas under stairways provide the greatest protection against flying objects, accord- ing to the National Weather Service in Tomeka.
A three-page guide distributed by the University of Kansas suggests that faculty members review the safest ways to assess the passages at the beginning of each semester.
IF CAUGHT OUTDOORS in a tornado, the guide suggests reaching shelter as quickly as possible or, if none is available, go to a ditch with traps from trees and power lines.
However, if there is a lot of lightning.
dying down flat is the worst thing to do.
Mullens said. Instead, when a person feels his hair stand on end, an indication that lightning is about to strike, he should drop to his knees and put his hands on the ground.
Because electricity follows the shortest path of least resistance, this should help prevent an electrical current from flowing through it before it is grounded. Mullens said.
Precautions should also be taken against lightning, because just as many people are killed by lightning as storms. On the average, the weather nationwide estimate that lightning kills about 100 people and injuries about 250.
