KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two of the remaining defendants in the 1981 Hyatt Regency hotel skywalks collapse have joined a class-action settlement that covers state court cases stemming from the disaster.
Havens Steel Co. and a subcontractor, WRW Engineering, joined the settlement Friday, attorneys for the firms said in a Kansas City Star story published yesterday.

Book uses photos to tie KU, U.S. history
At first glance, "On the Hill: A Photographic History of the University of Kansas," looks like a college yearbook.
By MICHAEL PAUL Staff Reporter
dormitories are scattered through its pages, along with glimpses of sororities and fraternities. Students are captured moving at the Red Dog Inn in 1967 and racing to demand a holiday after a football victory over Kansas State University.
Inside the book, which went on sale Saturday, are pictures of KU athletes of Wilt Chamberlin slam dunking, of Gale Sayres winning, of Gale Sayres tackling players.
BUT THE BOOK is more than just a history of KU, said Roy Gridley, professor of English, who wrote the dictionary essays to its seven chapters. He says that the book was to tie the history of the U.K. to national and international events.
Pictures of campus buildings and
The photographs, gathered from the collections of the Spencer Research Library, the University Archives, the University Daily Kansan and the Alumni Association, reveal that the university was not an isolated ivory tower and that the pictures of the Student Army Training Corps on the navy training trainings in 1942, of students protesting against the Vietnam War in 1970.
Gridley said the pictures were an excellent representation of the history of the University and of how national and international events affected it. Although no pictures of the Great Depression are included, Gridley said, "the picture was not untouched by the Depression. It was shown in Gridley says that no pictures of 'idle factories, discouraged faces, soup lines" were included because "people

Times; Katie Armitage, local historian; Donna Butler, continuing education editor; Carol Shankel, public relations coordinator of the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art; and Barbara Watkins, continuing education managing editor.
neither ask nor pay to have their misery recorded."
The 223-page book, printed by the University Press of Kansas and financed by the Endowment Association, is available for $19.95 at the Oread Bookstore in the Kansas Union and at local书店 stores.
Watkins the idea for the book came about as a result of a Christmas Carol.
"I received a copy of a book that I think was called 'Green Hills of Iowa State.'" she said. "I realized that KU had nothing like it. After I finished college, we got together with some other people and we decided to do something similar."
WATKINS SAID THAT each person was responsible for a section of the book. Because five people were working on seven sections, some people had to do work on more than one section, she said.
Donna Butler compiled "Coming of Age," the period from 1880 to 1900, and

"WE USED PICTURES that were interesting," she said. "But of course we wanted to use pictures that would document the history of the University.
Watkins said they wanted to be balanced in their presentation.
"We wanted to include photographs of the administration, the faculty,students."
But what is unique about this book, she said, is that quotations are used to help describe the mood of the time when the picture was taken.
For example, next to a picture of KU's first basketball team, 1889-99, is this quotation from James Naismith: When we finally evolved basket ball women, the boys were baskets for goals. The girls played it in high-heeled shoes . . . It was a mess."
