THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
NEW STADIUM TO BE LARGEST IN VALLEY
Seating Capacity Will Be 32,000 To Accommodate Increased Enrollment
WILL FACE THE CAMPUS
U-Shaped Structure Will Have 220 Yard Straight Away Besides Gridiron
220 YARD STRAITAWAY
The new athletic stadium for the University of Kansas will have a permanent seating capacity of about 32,000. It is believed that the high rate of increase in the enrollment at the University and the prospects for hard-surface roads connecting Lawrence with neighboring cities and towns justify the provision for a seating capacity more than double the present capacity. McCook Field. The attendance will undoubtedly receive an immediate stimulus as soon as a safe and comfortable stand is provided.
220 YARD STRAIGHTAW
In plan the structure will be U-shaped, the type which会使 it be shaped, the country to the country. There will be a quarter-mile running track with a 220-yard straightway extension. Tennis courts and a practice field will be provided adjacent to the open end of the U. The closed type of stadium, strikingly exemplified by the Yale Bowl, is the venue for the requirements of football alone have been permitted to control, but no satisfactory solution has yet been found of the problem of adapting the bowle type to track athletes and retaining the most indispensable feature of the 220-yard straightway. The 440 and 880 yard races will be played at the straightaway straightway. When these events are run at present on McCook Field, and when the contestants are evenly matched, those runners who draw the inner starting positions have an almost insuperable advantage. With the long straightaway at the start, however, the runners in the outer right-hand side fight for the pole and the element of luck is thereby greatly reduced.
BUILT OF REINFORCED CONCRETE
The stand will be constructed on entirely reinforced concrete. The U formed by the structure will be 628 feet long and 405 feet wide. The width of the stand itself will be uniform, varying from 3 feet at the bottom to 42 feet at the highest point. There will be forty rows of seats, and the horizontal space allowance for each spectator will be a rectangle 18 inches by 28 inches. The entire deck of the stand will cause the seats to follow a vertical curve in such a manner that all spectators in any given vertical plane will have equal opportunity for unobstructed vision. The clearance between the lines of sight in the stand will cause the seats to follow in most of the large stadium now in existence in the United States. The seats themselves will consist of 2-inch by 18-inch wooden planks raised several inches above the concrete floor. On lighting heating and ventilating, it was considered inadvisable to attempt to utilize the space underneath the structure for locker rooms. These will be housed in a separate building near the open end of the arena. Lighting stands will be used for training in track athletics during inclement weather.
20-POFT CONCOURSE AROUND FIELD
The main entrance and ticket offices will be at the closed end of the stadium. Just inside of the stadium, there will be a foot concourse at the field level extending the full length of the structure. Starting from the concourse, at the center line of each seat section, there will be a stairway followed by a ramp leading to an opening half-way up the bank of the staircase. The ticket-holder will find himself in the center of the section and will follow an aisle upward or downward to the proper row. With the exception of these openings there will be no apertures in the deck and the stand will be set up. There is an uncomfortable feature of the present wooden stand at McCook Field.
The site decided upon occupies most of McCook and Hamilton fields, and some of the territory immediately north of the present campus boundary. The longitudinal axes of the station are with the center line of Alabama Street. The main entrance will be about 75 feet south of the south side of Eleventh Street. From the standpoint of the football player, the lighting is best for the afternoon games in the fall of the year when the long exposure is needed, about N. 45 W., but an ideal location in this respect was impossible in the present case. The open end of the structure will be to the south, affording a view of the campus from any point in the stand. The stadium will be paralleled by Illinois Street on the east and Maine Street on the west, and these streets will be continued as drives onto the campus in such a way as to complete them. In the stadium with these drives will be provided at frequent intervals, and the entire arrangement will permit of the rapid evacuation of the stand and adjacent areas at the close of the game. There will bg an ample parking space for automobiles contiguous to the drives, the stands, and the seating to the east will furnish an additional means of handling the crowds.
GRADUATE TELLS WHY UNION IS ESSETIAI
H. E. Riggs,'86, Now of Michigan U. Faculty, Praises Michigan Union
That the democracy of a state University was wonderfully increased by a student Union building such as that proposed by the loyalty campaign now in effect. Mr. Riggs, 86, in a letter to Prof. W. Bajgaertmer of the Million-Dollar Drive committee. Mr. Riggs is professor of civil engineering at the University of Michigan, which recently built a $140,000 student Union building.
The increase of class and organization spirit due to the better accommodations for meetings and entertainments given by the Michigan union building, is a very large feature of the institution Professor Riirs says.
The advantages of a union building to a university are outlined by Professor Riggs as follows:
It makes it possible for the University to invite and properly entertain conventions. Since the Michigan Union has been completed dozens of conventions of mathematics and other subjects, and other societies have been held here. The state bar association, the state journalists, university registrars, and other such organizations have met at the Union. Fraternity conventions are held in many Chinese students in America are among the student uses.
Ann Arbor, like Lawrence, is a city of villainous hotels and of long distances, hotel to campus, rooms to bed here and those few called for entertainment at private homes. The advantages to the University of bringing the University men from all parts are too obvious to need argument.
It makes possible closer association of the different groups in the University. With main dining room ladies' diner房间, and cafe room, each has about 2,500 to 4,000 meals per day; with twelve or fifteen smaller dining rooms there is
This location was selected after a careful study of all available sites, and is believed to combine the easitual and case study environments and ease of handling large crowds to a greater degree than any of the others investigated. This site is also conducive to harmonious plane for the future development of the campus.
caily list of lunches and dinners which mark a long step in the way of bettering university conditions—such groups as the law faculty, the history faculty, the civil engineering group, the forestry group and dozens of other groups of men in different sub-departments get engaged at more or less intervals to discuss their problems and above all to know another.
The Union enables control of student activities. All forms of student activity center in the Union. The musical clubs, athletic clubs, the dramatic clubs have quarters and are generally auxiliary organizations of the Union. Two dancing parties a week, each of 250 couples, are given here where university control holds as check. A billard room with 24 tables gives the opportunity to put this game on a proper basis as to control
$7,500 Turned In By One Campaign Team
A team of nine journalists and one medic, however, seems to have the highest total in the first day and a half of the drive up to Friday noon. The team was returned in by the team captured by Herb Little, drive workers announced. This total included the largest single contribution of the drive so far, $1000.
The forty team captains in the Million Dollar Drive don't know just where they stand. They are claiming supremacy over his neighbor, with the last speaker generally winning the moral victory.
from the KuKu Klan as an organization, and nearly fifty pledges collected from the Associated Journalists.
ANNUAL TO FEATURE CAMPAIGN WORKERS
1921 Jayhawker May Be Dedicated to $1,000,000 Union Stadium Drive
The picture of the entire group of captains will be taken this week, and that of the winning team after the end of the drive. Announcement of their names will be made as soon as the results can be tabulated.
At least two full pages in the 1921 Jayhawk will be contributed to the Million Dollar Drive, according to announcements from the company on Morning. One of these pages is to contain a group picture of all the team captains, and the other is to be awarded as a prize to the greatest total amount of pledges.
Sacrificial gifts made Princeton Yale and Harvard. They will do the same for K. U.
Another possible feature of the Jayhawker bearing a close connection with the drive is the fact that the annual's managers are seriously concerned about the new stadium. It has been the custom to dedicate the annual to the person or subject most prominent on the Hill during the year, and up to the present time, according to the Jayhawker seems to be copy that position.
"The space in the Jayhawker was offered to the managers of the drive as a means of making the drive as well as the book more interesting," said Burt Cochran, business manager.
