Three major construction projects totaling $2,280,000 are now under construction on campus.

The three — additions to the Kansas Union and Snow Hall and a nuclear reactor building — are mainly to supplement existing fa-
The largest job is the $1,000,000 addition to the Kansas Union. Keith Lawton, director of physical plants, said the four-story annex should be completed by the end of the summer.
The addition is the fourth to the Union. There will be no new services in the new section. It will include a lecture room, meeting rooms, a new bowling area and additional space for the Hawk's Nest and cafeteria.
The new Snow Hall wing will cost $842,000 and is scheduled for completion in 15 months. Mr. Lawton said.
The new wing is on the northeast corner and will be sandwiched in between Poplar Lane and Memorial Drive. It will have 15,000 square feet of area. The outside will match the old building's Tennessee limestone.
"The addition will include laboratories and offices and partial remodeling of the old part of Snow," Mr. Lawton said.
The third major project under construction is the building to house a nuclear reactor. Ground was broken on this building April 7.
The building will house the engineering radio biophysics department as well as the department of nuclear engineering and the reactor. The environmental health program will also be incorporated in the $438,000 building.
Construction on the six-story wing has just been started. Excavating the area for the building has been the main task of the work in the project thus far.
The reactor building is being financed with a grant by the Health. Education and Welfare Department in Washington, state appropriations and private gifts.
The 16.000 square-foot building is in the "Bushong" tract which will include the proposed engineering building now on the drawing boards. The tract is north of Allen Field House and 15th Street. It is bounded on the east by Naismith Road.
Mr. Lawton said Strong Hall is undergoing considerable remodeling

A recent poll of 20 students shows them evenly split in their preferences for a Democrat or a Republican as the next resident of the White House.
The students were picked at random and were asked to answer the following questions:
- Do you prefer a Democrat or a Republican as our next president?
- Do you prefer a certain candidate within the party of your choice?
● What are your reasons for preferring this candidate?

said they would vote Democratic gave no choice of candidates.
TEN OF THE students said they would vote Republican and an equal number said they would vote Democratic. Six of the respondents chose Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass) as the Democrat they would favor as our next president. One chose Adlai Stevenson and another, Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex). Two students who
On the Republican side, Vice President Richard Nixon was supported by 10 students. Nixon is the only candidate for the Republican nomination.
Seven of the students polled were women and 13 were men. Four of the women said they favored Sen. Kennedy's candidacy while three picked Vice President Nixon.
"If I were voting I'd vote Republican. My parents are Republican and its a family tradition."
THREE STUDENTS indicated that their parents' party preferences would have some influence on their choice. Melanie Chandler, Kansas City freshman, said:

power to back up what he does. He's the best qualified man in either party for the presidency.
"Eisenhower's done a good job, and Nixon's best alongside him all the time. He's done a good job as vice president and all those goodwills tours have put him in a good position as far as foreign relations goes.
"HE'S AN EXCELLENT man for the job. He has youth, and the trouble with past presidents has been their age when they get into office. He also has a lot of determination."
Jane E. Dean, Overland Park senior, said:
"I haven't definitely made up my mind yet, but right now I think Kennedy is the best qualified. However, I want to investigate all the candidates' qualifications before I make a final decision."
