Survey Awaits Move from Lindley
By MIKE BAUER
Kansan Staff Writer
The newest addition to Campus West is a modernistic brick building with a shiny copper roof and a unique group of ventilation nues protruding from the roof.
The building, Moore Hall, will house the Kansas State Geological Survey and should be completed within the next week, according to W. W. Hambleton, director of the Survey.
Hambleton said that inspection of the building by the state would start next week. The Survey plans to begin moving into the building in the middle of December. A
ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for Feb. 2.
More Hall, was named after Raymond Moore, director of the Geological Survey for 38 years. The building is connected to the U.S. Geological Survey by a glass corridor.
IN KANSAS, the director to the Survey is appointed by the Chancellor, and the Chancellor is the ex-officio director, even though the office does not directly serve students. Most surveys are completely separate from state universities.

Campus Christmas Lights To Be Turned on Dec. 5
Christmas decorations at the University of Kansas were expected to be installed by the end of this week and turned on Dec. 5, with Michael Buchholz, director of the physical plant.
The decorations would normally have been up by this time but the live greenery which was ordered from a Topea nursery had not arrived vet, Buchholz said.
Because no records were usually kept, the toilets of maintenance of the decorations is unknown.
Although there will not be any additional Christmas decorations this year, Strong Harold and annex, Danforth and chancellor's residence will be decorated as they traditionally have been, said Harold E. supervisor of grounds and land-scaping.
Biltt added that although nothing different was planned for this year's way, the university is not set in its ways and could fail if someone came up with a good idea.
"If people kneel how much the decorations cost, they would probably yell

"The teaching we use is informal teaching, in which the staff and students are working together, not as students and others, but as colleagues," Hambleton said.

According to Bob Porter, foreman of electrical crews, the biggest expense in maintenance of the decorations was the replacement of bulbs.
No formal classes will be taught in Moore Hall.
The Survey has employed as many as 36 students at one time, Hambleton said. Some students can get credit for their work if they sign up for research hours.
Last year, Porter said, his crews replaced 1,447 light bulbs at a total cost of $959.40. Porter said, however, the disappearance of the bulbs was no surprise to him. In the 18th century, workers for buildings and grounds the same time has happened every Christmas season.
Unlike most state surveys, the Kansas survey employs many part-time professors,
THE MOVE from Lindley will mean modern facilities for the Survey, but little extra space. The Survey occupied most of the first and second floors and half of the basement of Lindley. The space in the new office was also located near the space in Lindley, Hambleton said. He said Lindley's wide halls, intended for student traffic, could not be used by the Survey.
The Survey will have a small library which also can serve as conference rooms, a large dining room high and are placed on casters. The shelves will be stationed to make small cubicles for private conferences. If a large conference is required, the backside can slide against a wall, Hambleton said.
Hambleton said that he was looking forward to the new facilities, but that it was a hard decision to move to the West Campus location.
A MAJOR disadvantage to the new location, he said, is the separation from the campus departments with which the Survey associates. He said separation from the campus also meant separation from campus libraries. The campus setting, he said, provides an environment that is attractive to bright students.
The advantages of the new, six-story Moore hall, are the extra parking space, the availability of the building to visitors and the associations with the other research centers—especially the Space Technology building. Hambleton said.
The new building is also close to where many students live, making employment at nearby schools a real possibility.
Moore hall which was built at a cost of $1.3 million is designed to accommodate seven rooms.
The operations research section programs computers in statistical analysis of data and prediction and forecasting methods.
THE GEOCHEMISTRY section is concerned with the chemistry of natural resources, including petroleum industry, geochemistry and industrial analytical chemistry. Hambleton said
In the environmental geology section, Hambleton said, man and his relations to natural resources are studied. Falling under this section's responsibilities are landfill planning, land-use planning and performance monitoring.
Hambleton said that performance monitoring was done with a device installed in the foundation of Moore Hall which monitored stresses on the building.

Would you share malt liquor with a friend?
Sure. Now there's no question about it. Because now malt liquor has a good name. BUDWEISER BUDWEISER Malt Liquor is 100%-malt, malt liquor (no other grains are added). This makes BUDWEISER the first malt liquor that really is . . . malt liquor.
The first malt liquor good enough to be called BUDWEISER.
