Converting an old, dingy chemistry lab annex into an attractive home for classes in design is a pretty big order to fill. If you don't believe it, just ask one of the persons who just helped remodel Bailey annex, and they'll give you first hand information to prove that it was no snap job.

Bailey Annex Gets Face Lifting
Members of the Fine Arts design department, along with workmen from buildings and grounds, have transformed Bailey annex into a spacious and colorful classroom area for students in industrial design, sculpture, and jewelry and silversmithing.
Bailey annex, an old quonset hat located behind Bailey hall, formerly provided laboratory facilities for graduate students in chemistry. When Malott hall was completed, the chemistry students moved out of the annex, leaving it vacant. The design department, occupying cramped quarters on the third floor of Strong hall, found that Bailey annex offered a partial solution to their space problems.
Under the supervision of Miss Marjorie Whitney, professor of design, plans were drawn up for converting the quonset hut into a suitable home for fine arts work. After examination of the existing facilities, it was discovered that only a small part of the facilities left behind by the chemistry department could be used. Most of the facilities had to be reconstructed.
Partitions had to be torn down, rebuilt, and rearranged. Plumbing had to be moved around. Getting sinks and drains into their proper positions necessitated channeling through the floor. Second hand equipment was pressed into service, making the whole remodeling process less expensive.
The instructor, for each section supervised the work that was done in his part of the building. Laboratory space which had been almost non-existent in Strong hall was provided for the industrial design section. Ventilation equipment was installed, and drawing tables moved in.
The sculpture set-up was completely changed. Space for carving plaster work, sheet metal welded sculpture, and bronze casting is much more ample than was furnished in Strong. Parts for a new sculpture bronze casting foundry are now arriving. When this foundry is installed, KU will probably be the only school in the United

States with complete foundry facilities for bronze casting, according to Elden Tefft, assistant professor of design and head of the sculpture section.
Throughout the whole building, a color scheme has been implemented to perk-up the appearance of the place and enhance the second hand material which has been used in abundance. Dark red and green colors from metal boxes while shades of grey, green and blue are also used.
A projection room has also been provided for visual education. The walls of this room provide bulletin space and storage facilities for winter clothes.
The majority of the work is complete, but some work remains to be done, such as installation of ventilation equipment in the sculpture section, and installation of
furnaces for casting. The instructors and students are extremely pleased with the results of the remodeling..
300 Historic Photos Displayed in 2 Cities
The traveling panel of about 300 pictures from the Joseph J. Pennell collection of historical photographs at the Watson library has been displayed in Pratt and Junction City this spring.
The collection, a featured part of the Junction City Centennial, presents a photographic survey of that city and Fort Riley from 1895 through 1909.
Mr. Pennell was a photographer in Junction City from 1888 to his death in 1922. The collection of some 30,000 negatives was given to KU by Stanley Pennell, his son.
