The "Salina Piece" rests at its new home near the Kansas University Endowment Association building on West Campus. Workers installed the controversial structure Friday following a three-year delay while engineers studied the monument's safety.

35-foot sculpture erected 'Salina Piece' moves to new home
The sculpture was donated by John Simpson, a KU alumnus and former Kansas legislator, to the University in 1981, but questions concerning the monument's safety delayed permanent installation.
After suffering from vandalism, verbal abuse, and questions of safety since it was donated about three years ago, a controversial sculpture finally found a permanent home on West Campus.
By the Kansan Staff
Questions were raised about the safety of the sculpture when it slid while being installed on the northeast.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said there would be a ceremonial service later in the spring to commemorate the new location of the sculpture.
The "Salina Piece," a 35-foot tall steel structure that was donated the University in 1961, was erected Friday at the University Endowment Association.

Stanley Rolfe, professor of civil engineering, said, "The entire structure was strengthened and made sturdy as an engineering structure ought to be."
Rolfe said that extra measures were also taken to secure the structure to protect visitors if a large crowd were to gather around the monument.
The University hired Boyd, Brown, Stude, and Cambern, a Kansas City, Kan., structural engineering firm, to inspect the sculpture's safety in November 1981, according to University officials.

COBB SAID that the funds to install the sculpture came from private donations and that no state funds were used.
THE SCULPTURE remained at a storage area just west of Iowa Street for about a year while a structural study was completed of the sculpture.

Cobb said that Dale Eldred was internationally known as an artist of the 1920s and '30s.
Steve Menaugh, public relations coordinator at the endowment association, said the association's staff preferred that the site area remain
Area residents said that the sculpture was unsightly and unsafe. A group of alumni also organized to protect the sculpture in a plot of land for the large sculpture.
The sculpture was originally destined to be placed at a triangular grassy slope at the southeast corner of 16th Street and Sunflower Road but soon became the object of protest and criticism.
The University was responsible for deciding where the piece would go, Menaugh said.
