Approval of a million dollar loan by the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency makes way for the first permanent married student dormitory project attempted by the University, Joseph J. Wilson, dormitory director, said today.
The 40-year loan will enable KU to build 120 apartments in 10 buildings, to be situated northeast of the intersection of 19th and Iowa streets. The interest rate will be $2\frac{3}{4}$ per cent, or lower.
Mr. Wilson said construction will start late this summer with a 15-month completion period expected,
Dwight C. Brown, state architect of Kansas, is preparing plans and specifications. The basic design for the two-story building, with two two-bedroom and four one-bedroom apartments on each floor, was first used at Michigan State University. The basic design, with modifications, is being used now at Missouri University and Kansas State College.
To Face Eastward
The 10 buildings will be placed along the hill contour eastward from the intersection for 300 yards.
Mr. Wilson said the buildings will be 120 by 38 feet, exclusive of outside stairways at both ends. Construction will be concrete block with brick exteriors, and highly fire resistant. Living rooms will measure approximately 18 by 12 feet, bedrooms $10_{1/2}$ by 12 feet.
It is hoped that the one and two bedroom apartments can be rented for $55 and $65 a month, Mr. Wilson said. The apartments would be furnished except for rugs and drapes and kitchen utensils. Tenants will pay their own utilities. There will be 40 units with two bedrooms and 80 with one.
100 Per Cent Aid
"We are borrowing 100 per cent of the cost of this project, thus the only subsidy is the land provided by the KU Endowment Association." Mr. Wilson said, "and rent must be set accordingly."
Estimated construction cost is $720,000, with the rest going for site preparation, sewer facilities, furnishings, landscaping and roads.
"The total cost can not be more than the million-dollar loan," Mr. Wilson explained, "If bids are higher, the project must be scaled down. However, if the cost should be less, the Board of Regents will issue bonds only to cover that amount."
Mr. Wilson said that the project would hardly be even a start toward solving the growing problem of married student housing, which will require all the efforts of both the University and private investors.
"It is quite possible that by the time these apartments are ready, there will be at least 120 more married students attending KU than are today," he said.
Five-Ton Truck Stalled Near Union
A five-ton truck load of fruits and vegetables was prevented this morning from being delivered to the Student Union. Air brakes on the left rear wheels locked just short of the west delivery ramp.
Gerald Hutton, Topeka, the driver,
said he was backing up the slope.
He wore his wheels grab. When
they locked, I pulled the load down
the hill," he said.
The wheels didn't unlock. Mr.
Hutton put out red flags on Mississippi street and behind the truck.
He then called a mechanic.
