Work Starts On $2 Million Arts Building
A 2-year construction project for the $2,220,791 Music and Dramatic Arts building was begun this week. The 1500 block on Michigan St., which the building will straddle, has been closed to traffic.
The general contractor is Harmon Construction Co., Oklahoma City, Okla., which was low bidder in the opening of bids Aug. 25, R. Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said today. Amount of the contract is $1,-626,456.
Ling Electric Co., Dallas, Tex., won the electrical contract, bidding $201,402. The heating, air conditioning and ventilation of the building will be done by Kendall Plumbing and Heating Co., Wichita, at a cost of $320,933. Brune Plumbing and Heating Co., Lawrence, has the plumbing contract for $72,000.
The contract calls for the building to be completed in 650 calendar days, Lawton said. Remainder of the $2,400,000 appropriated by the 1953 and 1955 Kansas legislatures is to go to equip the brick and stone structure on the southwest slope of Mount Oread.

4 Hollywood Stars To Appear Nov.1
Four Hollywood stars, Edward Arnold, Ricardo Montalban, Mary Astor, and Reginald Denny, will appear in George Bernard Shaw's play, "Don Juan in Hell," an extra attraction to be presented by the KU Concert Course at 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1, in Hoch Auditorium.
Services Held For Prof. Flint
Funeral services for Leon Nelson "Daddy" Flint, chairman of the department of Journalism at the University from 1916 to 1941 were held yesterday afternoon at the First Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Flint died Friday at the University of Kansas Medical Center after he suffered a broken hip in a fall at his Lawrence home. He would have been 80 years old Oct. 8.
The Rev. Dale Turner, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, who conducted the services, described Prof. Flint's life as an example of Christian living and service.
"The most obvious monument to Professor Flint's life, of course, is the building which bears his name." Rev. Turner said. The building which houses the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information was named Flint Hall last June.
"But his greatest monument is the men and women across the world whose lives he has stimulated to more effective work," Rev. Turner continued.
"Leon Flint was a giver rather than a receiver. Many persons can say today 'He lighted my candle and helped me to discover myself and my talents.' His life was a noble one which can inspire all of us." Rev. Turner said.
About 100 faculty members, college officials, newspapermen, and former students attended the funeral.
