THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Building Program Has Been Active During Past Year
Memorial Union Structure and New Auditorium to Be Finished
Soon
With the new Memorial Union building and the University auditorium under construction and many other improvements being made on the campus the building program of the University of Kansas has been unusually active during the last few months.
The costness for the Memorial Union building were let Oct. 23, 1925. The building is perhaps going up slower than seems necessary to some but the reason for this is that a payoff would be made in the construction of this building.
Tution Charge Is Not Used
Some of the universities use the plan of placing a tuition charge upon the students to help cover the cost which has not incurred the progresse of their students. Union building is to be free to the student body, faculty, the alumni and other friends of the University. The interior has been started and it is probable that the cafeteria will be moved from the Commons building to the new building during the Christmas season and can be used by the rest should be ready by the first of the year.
The new auditorium, which is placed directly west of Robinson gymnastics was started May 1, 1925. A crew of forty men are working on six days a week and the building should be finished by Sept. 1927. So far only one half of the appropriations, $80,000, have been raised. The foundation and frame work are up and practically all the stones and brick is on the ground. The auditorium will be finished with white rock coming from Bedford, Ind., and the front will be Gothic similar to Watson library. A seating capacity of about what after crumpled quarters in Robinson gymnastics.

accommodate about forty women and is arranged in such a way that the women are divided into groups of four, three, two, and one light, heat and water in return for the deed. This makes the cost to the women about three dollars a month Entrance takes the form of scholarships to supply the proper requirements.
This spring saw several changes in the campus. More than sixty evergreens of different kinds were set out over the campus, new turf was placed where the grass had been worn away and many old buildings were restored. The auditorium in Fraser received a new ceiling and the walls were redecoated.

An attractive addition to campus architecture is the new street car station just northwest of Glen bad. It was built this summer by the Kansas Electric Power Company on the site of the old wooden station. It is built of natural stone and electrically lighted.
New Street Car Station Is Erected on Campus
The old station did not provide much shelter from the storms and was merely a place to stand while waiting for cars. It was cheaply constructed of wood and detached from the beauty of the camps.
The new station is not only artist,
but it is roomy and offers shelter from
the cold winds which sweep across the
campus in winter. Although the statu-
ment is quite tall, it is so placed that
the maximum protection from
the weather is secured.
University Songs to Be Broadcast
The Anglo-Persian orchestra orchestra, which has given radio programs from station WAFE, New York, relaxed in the West by WDLAF, with permission to broadcast one of the songs of the University of Kansas, according to D. M. Swartout, denn of the School of Fine Arts. A copy of "I'm a Jawhawk" has been forwarded to the orchestra and the song will be awarded first place among college songs at the national glee club contest in New York last spring.

From the front of the stage the floor will be 50 feet high, and will then slope upward for 37 feet to the back room. The stage located at the base of the horsehose will be 74 by 20 feet. At the front of the stadium, the goalie will be eliminated when the flier is needed for basketball games.
Battery is Only in Rear
The balcony will be only in the rear of the building. It will not extend across the sales as in most museum tints.

Half of Appropriation Spent
Karl Kloe, chief clerk of the business office said, "About half of the appropriation has been paid out. This includes the cost of the foundation and the steel structure as well as practically all of the stone and brick which are now on the ground."
There will be a clearance of 13 feet between the bottom of the balcony and the main floor. Two organic lofts are being built but the organ
The new $825,000 auditorium which is now wall under construction will be ready for occupancy in September, 1927. The main foundations have been laid and the steel work is积极 completed. It is located between Marvin hall and Haworth nort west of Robinson gymnasium.
As the new building will seat over six thousand people it will make it possible to accommodate a much larger audience. It is present in the auditorium of Robinson gymnasium. The main floor of the building will be used as a basketball court. This will give Kansas a more court square to argue in the valley.
According to D. E. Bowie, the state inspector, the chief expense as far has been in the concrete piling at the south end of the foundation. The building shall be at that end of the building had to be replaced with concrete piling.
Work Progresses on Project in Marvin Hall
Engineers to Have Stage
"We have needed this improvement for a long time," said Prof. W. C. McNown of the civil engineering department, in discussing the new stage, "heavy draperies are to be placed on the windows to make the room look darker." The motion machine that is used so much by visiting lecturers. These draperies will also improve the acoustic conditions which are bad at the present."
A stage is being built in the auditorium on the second floor of Marvin hall. Carpenters are now constructing the base for the platform in the northeast corner of the auditorium, where a stage will effect with provisions for footlights.
Robert Iarmar, temporarily in charge of the office of buildings and grounds, that about $1,100 has been set aside for this job. Work is now in progress and will probably be completed in a week.
The seating arrangement will be changed so that the seats will be placed in semi-circular rows facing the new stage. A stage entrance will be through a door to the north wall on the second floor of Marvin hall.
