Bailey's Chimneys to Go As Part of Remodeling Plan
The University will soon lose one of its familiar landmarks, the chimneys on the roof of Bailey chemical laboratories. They will be razed as a part of a remodeling process to prepare the building for future occupation by the education department.
The chimneys were constructed in 1899 with the building to provide an outlet for fumes escaping through the laboratory hoods. The chimneys will not be removed until the University receives sufficient funds from the state legislature to hire a contracting firm to do the remodeling.
Another feature of the hall, the dormer windows, also will be removed. Other phases of remodeling will include the construction of a new front entrance and new front stairway, resurfacing of the roof and floors, and reinforcement of several partitions.
Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations, said that the date for completion has been set for the summer of 1956, with classes in the department of education beginning the following fall.
At the present time, the buildings and grounds crews are removing old plumbing and wiring, partitions, cabinets, and sinks, and expect to be finished sometime in February.
Toy Drive Booths Open on Campus
Collection booths for the Christmas toy drive were opened yesterday in the lobby of the Student Union and the rotunda of Strong hall. The drive is sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, the Independent Students' association, and the Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils.
Final plans for the campaign were set in a joint committee meeting Tuesday, Nov. 30. Members of the committee are Robert G. Bush, IFC; John A. Meyer, ISA; Jim Miller, Alpha Phi Omega, and Martha Morton, Panhellenic council.
The committee is encouraging organized houses to exchange toys among their members, to give the toys to the drive, or to have Christmas parties for Lawrence underprivileged children. The toys will be collected the last week of school and distributed to Kansas orphanages during Christmas vacation.
Washington — (U.P.)— The United States will be the first victim of all-out atomic attack if Russia starts a war, Gen. Benjamin W. Chidlaw told a mayors' conference here today.
"Those who know the masters of the Kremlin far the realists they are know they would never make the mistake now of engaging our laries first and leaving us alone to come in when ready," he said.
Gen. Chidlaw's audience included 173 mayors and 60 city managers of cities of more than 75,000 population. They received briefing on security problems such as continental and civil defense.
Gen. Chidlow called on the mayors for greater support of civil defense measures, better understanding the need for jet plane bases near cities, and help in mustering 1,000,000 persons for the ground observer corps which now has 400,000.
and civil defense. They were also greeted informally by President Eisenhower this morning.
He said, "Many communities, while demanding protection from air attack, want to be defended from somewhere else. They want protection, yes, but they want it without paying the price of the noise nuisance of our jets or the necessary presence of the military in their midst."
U.S. WouldBe 1st Target, General Says
Gen. Chidlaw, chief of the new continental air defense command, said such an onslaught could mean "100 pinpointed minutes of atomic hell on earth" to the 100 biggest cities represented at the conference.
He deplored the rejection of efforts to use municipal airports for jet squadrons and city properties for guided missile sites. "If you want security you must be prepared for some inconvenience. To give you better protection we are apt to become a worse nuisance."
