Concrete Poured For Part Of Memorial Driveway
Visible progress is being made in the construction of the University Memorial driveway. This progress is in the form of the concrete approach at the entrance to the driveway on Mississippi street. The final pouring of concrete was completed over the Spring vacation.

course was the road leading from the approach will be graded in the last step in construction of the east entrance, Al- toron Thomas, University landscape ar- potions of the south part of the phi tect, said.
The arriveway, in conjunction with the carapanie, will be a permanent tribute to the sacrifices of 300 former University students who were killed in the war and 8,000 men and women who served in the armed forces.
When this is completed the next step will be the construction of the west apron where the driveway emerges onto West Campus road. Much work will be required to complete this, Mr. Thomas said, and will take at least two months.
First, a heat tunnel to the proposed men's dormitory which runs under ground at that point will have to be built. Then a large fill will have to be made to make the slope to the street gradual. When these two jobs are completed, the concrete apron can be laid.
As for the driveway itself, the preliminary gradings have been made. Widening of the drive by the addition of a five-foot shoulder is to be made soon. Also, additional grading, and filling is necessary to level the road. Crushed rock will then be spread over the drive and will be allowed to settle.
"It depends upon many things," Mr. Thomas said, "before the drive becomes well enough packed to be faced. How much moisture we have and how much traffic is on the road."
When entirely completed the scenic driveway will form a complete loop around the campus. Starting at the nearly finished Mississippi entrance, the drive will continue around behind Bailey Chemical laboratories, through Marvin grove, onto the promontory behind Frank强兴 hall where the campanile will be. From there it will turn southwest, behind Snow hall, Potter lake and onto West Campus road.
The south portion of the loop will have its west entrance at Michigan, street behind Lindley hall. From there it will hollow the low south edge of Mount Oread behind the new Fowler shops, Hoch auditorium, Haworth hall and Robinson gymnasium.
There it will turn southeast and join Sixteenth street, at the west end of the quonset storage warehouse. It will follow Sixteenth street a short distance and turn onto Illinois street which leads north-west past the power plant, the rear of Wetson Library and the old Fowler shops where it intersects Jayhawk drive.
