Leaky roofs rain in KU buildings
Staff Reorder

By DAVID SIMPSON
Ice and snow have caused leaking roofs in many University of Kansas buildings this winter, Joe Christy, assistant director of construction, said yesterday.
The buildings with the worst leakage
problems are Summerfield Hall, Robinson
Summerville, Spencer Library and Dyche
University.
Christy said the ice and snow jammed the gutters and wanter ran under the roof's flashing, which is the sheet metal used in waterproofing roofs.
Other Big Eight school administrators expressed optimism yesterday about mergers of men's and women's athletic departments while the University of Kansas awaited a decision on a proposed merger here.
Athletic mergers succeed say Big 8 administrators
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said he probably would not make final decision on his nomination.
The proposed merger was submitted to Dykes Jan. 12 by Marian Washington, director of women's athletics; Bob Marra, president; and Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
None involved in the proposal would give details of the plan.
Akers said the merger was successful because of the structure of the present athletic department. She said there was one assistant director and across-the-board duties.
Judy Aker, women's basketball coach and former women's athletic director at Kansas State University, said a merger in the women's athletic departments had been a positive step.
"There's only one way to live in this world, and that's together," Akers said. "If you don't, then you're separating ex-partners from each other, just can't separate-sex organizations."
Akers said the former structure of two
venator departments had created

Iowa State University is the only Big Eight school besides KU that still has separate athletic departments. Ruth Lauver, director of women's athletics there, said there would probably be a merger by July 1.
The women's program is currently a part of the physical education department.
"The success of a merger here will depend on the leadership at the top and an honest commitment on both programs," she said. "We have women on the women under the control of one person."

The University of Oklahoma has had men's and women's athletics under one department for five years. Before that, women's sports were considered to be extramural because they were not under a department.

"WE HAVE LEAKS throughout the building," he said. "There are several leaks in the dance room's roof. We have to put trash cans in the middle of the floor because the舞 floor is made of special material and when water hits it, the boards warp.

Wilkerson said even though the gyns had not had much leakage yet, he was anticipating more when the snow began to melt.

Tom Wilkerson, director of recreation services, said Robinson also had been in charge of the new facility.
"Once the thaw begins we will have additional leaks," he said. "Our gums are the only place where you have to call off a basketball game because of rain."

"We can't go up and chop off the ice because it damages gutters and roofs. The only thing we can do is to get off the loose snow with brooms." he said.
"The roof on Summerfield is shot," Tolleson said. "We've got a distinguished professor in residence who has a piece of plastic stretched out under his ceiling so that it catches the water and takes it out of the room."
JOHN TOLLESFON, associate dean of the school of business said Summerfield had
Tolson said funds had been allocated by the state to renail the roof.
Richard Perkins, associate director of plant maintenance, said although there were many leaks, there was not much that could be done this winter.
"We were hoping the new roof would be put on before this winter," Toleffson said. "With some luck, construction should be started as soon as the weather warms."

CHRISTY SAID most of the University's roofing problems could be attributed to the severe winter. He said 80 percent of the snow on his roof was the ice and snow that collected on flat rooftops.
Saturday and Sunday working on roofs to repair the leak's, "Perkins said. 'There's not a lot we can do during the cold," he added. "It's just trying to keep them at a minimum."
"We had two men working overtime last
"Flat roofs on buildings are nothing but headaches," he said. "The snow just sits up there, so when the snow and ice melt we get even more water in the buildings."
However, Christy said that the University had done a lot of work in the past few years to repair roofs, and that in two to three years the problem would not be as acute.
MAKING A BREAK THIS SPRING?
"If people can live with the leaken now," he said, "in time we'll catch up with roof sealing." The sealing process will be replaced are getting sloped roofs and this will allow for more drainage and fewer cracks.
