Moore Hall work to begin in June
By LISA GUITERKEZ Staff Reporter
A Topeka construction company that submitted the lowest bid yesterday for a $1.5 million addition to Moore Hall, home of the Kansas Geological Survey on West Campus, will begin construction of the project in June, according to University officials.
"At this point, we're talking about completion in late summer of 1983," Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said yesterday.
The company, Douglas Construction Co. of Topeka, bid 400 days for completion of the project, Wiechert said.
Douglas Construction Co. submitted a base bid of $96,000 to outbid 12 other construction companies yesterday in the State Purchasing Office in Topeka, Wiechert said.
"They were mostly from northeast Kansas," he said of the companies that submitted bids. "Some were from Topeka, Lawrence, the Kansas City area, and there was one from St. Joseph."
THE ADDITION will contain 15,000 gross square feet and will be connected on all three floors to Moore Hall and on one level to Parker Hall, home of the U.S. Geological Survey at KU.
The addition will include laboratory and office space for oil and gas research, mapping and survey for the Kansas Geological Survey.
The Survey conducts research on Kansas water, energy, minerals and land resources and supplies information on resources and problems to public agencies, businesses and individuals.
It will also have offices for visiting scientists, a seminar-conference room, and computer graphics room. It has animated cartography lab and a computer graphics reading room.
The addition will replace a walkway that now links the two buildings.
Funding for the addition came from a special Geological Survey Fund established by the 1980 Legislature, Wiechcid said.
THE FUND is being generated by a $40 charge for each notice of an intent to drill an oil or gas well in either July 1898 and July 1893, he said.
"It changes everyday," Wiechert said of the amount in the fund. "But there's enough in it right now to fund the project."
The 1982 Legislature approved use of the money from this fund to build the addition.
Music collections sitting idle
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
Two music collections donated to the University of Kansas are important additions to KU's music library, but no money has yet been found to catalog the collections, the associate music librarian said recently.
Richard Wright, professor of music history, donated his collection of 18,000 jazz recordings, books, periodicals and jazz films to KU in December 1981.
James Seaver, professor of history and director of the Western Civilization program, donated his collection of recordings to KU in January 1979.
"They're most unusual collections," said Ellen McKay, librarian. "We're not afraid of a new world."
Cataloguing the music collections will be a large project because of the data that must be gathered, including the titles, composers, performers, date
THE LIBRARY has applied for both federal and University grants to pay for cataloguing the collections, Johnson said, but has not had any luck yet.
and location recorded and instruments, she said.
But the library also has some excellent reference materials that will assist people in finding records in the collections, Johnson said.
She said having the collections
available on public access was im-
mportant to the department.
"We hope that we can give access to students, teachers, scholars and staff who are ill or blind."
THE OLDER records in the collections are quite fragile, and sometimes crack while being lifted from the turntable, she said. The library staff will record the records onto cassette tapes. They will be able to take the cassettes home.
Johnson said the library probably would make arrangements for the copies of the cassettes.
The library will house the collections on the third floor of Murphy Hall. The moving of the two collections into Murphy began last week.
"We've installed heating and air conditioning, which is very important with these old records. They acquire mildew very rapidly," Johnson said.
The library also installed an exhaust fan in the room the collections will occupy, and the cement floor was covered with linoleum to keep down dust. Dust is almost as hard on records as rudely Johnson said.
as many, coonsider.
THE PRESENT condition of the two collections is quite good.

"They've been very well cared for," she said.
The library has purchased special needies and recording equipment to help in taping records in the collections, she said.
Having the Seaver and Wright collections will help KU attract donations of other collections, Johnson said.

TOPEKA-Kansas House Speaker Wendell Lady says he will probably run for governor this November, "if everything falls into place," but he will wait until the end of the legislative session to announce his final decision.
Lady likely to oppose Carlin
By COLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter
"I'm leaning toward running," Lady R-Overland Park, said at a press conference in his capitol office yesterday. "But there are still few people I unanswered everything into place, I say yes. If it doesn't, I'll say no."
But Lady declined to say specifically what those unanswered questions were.
THREE OTHER Republicans have already announced that they will challenge Democratic Gov. John Carlin in the upcoming elections. They are Dave Owen, a banker from Stanley and a former lieutenant governor of Kansai. Louis Klerm, a pilot from Easton, and Idbettson, a dairy farmer from Colby.
Sam Hardage, a Wichita businessman, is also expected to run, as is Senate President Ross Doyen, R-Corporodia.
Lady said he would announce whether he is running by May 4.
"What happens in the rest of the session might have an influence," he said. "Politics can change very fast. The outcome is decided not to make that decision yet."
Lady said if future candidates challenged him for the Republican nomination, it might affect his decision to run.
"Based on the candidates so far, they would not stop me." he said.
When asked whether the prospect of facing Doyen in an election would stop him from running for governor, Lady said, "No, it really wouldn't."
Doyen and Lady have disagreed on most of the important issues during the session, notably the proposed severance tax on gas and oil.

Lady said that because he would not have the support of the state oil and gas industries, he would not be as well suited to the role of the other Republican candidates.

But Lady said that despite earlier worries that lack of campaign money would keep him out of the running, his financial problems were nearly solved.

Lady also discussed the progress of the Legislature this session. He said his priorities when lawmakers returned from a two-week recess at the end of April would be to reach agreement on a plan for public school finance and to pass a statewide repeal of the intangibles tax.

The secret to keeping medicines fresh, potent and safe is to store them in a dark, cool dry spot out of the reach of children. Keep medicines kept in cabinets above a bathroom storage. Storage in this area is often permitted with steam and provides easy access for use. Store medications at the best storage area is the top shelf of your hallway linen closet. Be sure to check all medicines for freshness before you use them. Check for an expiration date. Spoilage can often be detected as well by a color change in odor or other physical signs. Check the medicine's freshness or potency, check with your pharmacist.

and property tax relief," he said. "It seems to be content to hang in there another year.
"Inaction by the Senate merely postpones problems until next year. I think they ought to be faced at this time."
Carlin has said he will be visiting senators whose votes against the tax might be swayed, to gain the two more votes needed to pass a severance tax.
Lady said she was not optimistic that another severance tax bill could pass the Senate, even if Carlin, who has pushed the tax since the beginning of the 1881 session, campaigns for it during the recess.
