Sunnyside Lives Past Its Life Expectancy
By Thomas Hough
(This is the last of a series of three articles on the Sunmyside Housing Project.)
The Sunnyside Housing Project, with a generous array of trees and shrubs obscuring chipped, cremeyellow paint, has been a source of conflict and chaos for 13 years.
21 Alread Leveled
The original 31 unit, 186-apartment housing area is slowly disappearing. Eight units were torn down in 1956 to provide room for Summerfield Hall, the new School of Business. Thirteen more units are being leveled by wreckers now, One unit will remain for storage.
That leaves nine buildings still standing for which nine student families are paying $55 a month rent, plus $1 for each major electrical appliance. The rent includes utilities.
In 1950 this was changed:
In 1947 the housing bureau said Sunnyside would be used for at least five years.
"Sunnysidie will be maintained by KU as long as needed or until the walls come tumbling down from old age," claimed a Kansan
ASC Gets Into Act
reporter after a talk with the director of housing.
In 1958 the All Student Council began raising a fuss about Sunny-side. The ASC did not like the idea of substandard housing for KU married students.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy explained:
The council especially disliked the fact that Sunnyside rent money was helping to finance Stouffer Place construction.
"Anytime you have substandard housing, you must make provisions to replace it. If it had not been for Summyside, there would be no Stouffler Place. We would today have only the fire-trap slums and no expansion in housing for the married students."
Recently, Sunnyside has also eased the strain of paying high rent for marginal housing.
End Result: Stouffer
ments and four more units are to be built in the near future. Student and faculty families pay $60-$70 per month to live there. Utilities are extra.
KU's answer to replacing Sunnyside nestles on the side of the hill west of Allen Field House. This is Stouffier Place, built of brick, concrete, and steel. Each of the 19 units contains 12 apart-
The Sunnyside buildings will all be leveled next year, leaving only the memory of the closely knit friendships that developed among the people who lived there.
The area itself will be turned into a practice field for athletics until KU's need for parking lots, academic buildings, or, perhaps another housing project will force the architects to again dull their pencils on housing plans for the area.
A former resident, William Chesnut, housing manager of the dormitory office, said there was something about Sunnyside that could never be replaced.
"Within a week after I moved my family into Sunnyside, we knew all the neighbors in our unit and in the unit across the street. Some of my best friends today are people I met while I lived there."
Guitarist Will Play Tuesday
A concert of guitar and lute music will open the concert season.
Around the Campus Will Professor Spends Summer In Arabia
The visiting musician will be Julian Bream. Mr. Bream, a 25-year-old Englishman, is vehement in his defense of the guitar when it is dismissed only as the instrument of cowboys and rock 'n roll singers.
He points out that Paganini and Berlioz were guitarists, and he contends that the guitar is an ideal instrument for chamber musfe.
His concert here will feature both modern and classic guitar music. He will play at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the University Theatre.
Concert tickets are now available at the Fine Arts office or the Union ticket center.
Mr. Bream is currently a recording artist for RCA Victor records. He has studied guitar since he was 11 years old and made his professional debut when he was 14 in Cheltenham, England.
Mr. Bream's American debut last year was considered an outstanding success. Harvard sold out well in advance for his all-lute recital. At the University of Connecticut the concert had to be transported to a 3,000-seat hall to accommodate the crowd.
'OK' Stems from Van Buren
The expression "O.K." stems from the reelection campaign of President Martin Van Buren in 1840, when he was supported by the "O.K. Club" of Old Kinderhook, N.Y., his birthplace.
Dr. Charles W. Pitrat, assistant chairman of the geology department, spent last summer examining Arabian fossils and fighting the desert heat.
Dr. Pitrat was consulting paleontologist for Arabian American Oil Co, in Dhabran, Saudi Arabia. His main task was identifying and cataloging fossils gathered from this area over the last 20 years.
"The heat was something new to me. The temperature was always between 115 and 120 degrees. The trips into the desert were not as bad as could be expected since we stayed in air-conditioned trailers," he explained.
Dr. Pitrat also did some "typical tourist" traveling in Europe before he returned home. He spent a good part of his time mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps.

Diane Attends Parent's Rites
The high school sophomore was accompanied by a deputy sheriff from the Johnson County jail to the Stine & McClure Funeral Home in Kansas City, Mo., where the services were held at 2 p.m.
OLATHE — (UPI) — Only child Diane Roberts, 15, attended funeral services today for her parents, whom she is accused of murdering with roach poison cocktails.
Diane was returned immediately to the juvenile ward of the jail at Olathe. She is held on two counts of first degree murder in the poisoning of Mr. and Mrs. William Roberts.
An attending physician, Dr. Arnold V. Arms, said yesterday that the girl refused to tell him Tuesday night what kind of poison was given her parents until after both the mother and father had died.
Dr. Arms, who was called by relatives to the Roberts home, said he asked Diane four times what type poison she had administered.
He added that he explained to the girl the necessity of knowing the poison before prescribing the correct antidote and possibly saving her parents' lives.
Dr. Arms said he does not think the girl intended to kill her parents but had only intended to make them sick.
