COMPARE INSULATION Trailwise uses 600 fill goose down — that means one ounce of down will fill 600 cubic inches of space.
COMPARE FABRIC B Trailwise uses nylon taffas; more down proof and wind proof and puncture resistant than rip stop nylon.
COMPARE FORM & FIT Trailwise designs jackets for men and women to give you freedom of movement without looking excessively bulky. Trailwise's attention to detail is classic; they use the strongest zippers and snapels, velcro closures and buckles, double zipper buffles, down-filled warmer pocket and collars!
ABOUT OUALITY
It is unwisely to pay too much, but it is unwise to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do. The common way of business prohibits paying a little and it must be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well avoided something for the risk you run and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.
—John Ruskin 1819-1900

A parking garage for the University of Kansas Medical Center is in the first stage of a construction method to open the parking lot Warren Corman, Regents director of facilities planning.

Corman said the $2.1 million garage would be built on the "design-build" concept, which means that the same company designs and builds the structure.
When Eby bid for the project in September, it also submitted a design. The company is now developing the design, creating an Eby construction, project manager for Eby Construction.
Garage is built by new method
marun K. Eby Construction Co. Inc. of Wichita will build the garage. Shaffer Associates of Wichita will work with Eby to design it.
SCHULTZ SAID HE hoped to present some finished design to the state within 30 months.
Corman said the state decided to use the design-build construction for the project because it was faster. However, he said, it has taken more time than expected.
Subcommittees of CSHE get four chairmen
Four subcommittee chairmen were elected last night by members of Concerned Students for Higher Education, the KU lobbying group.
Jim Borell, Overland Park sophomore, was elected chairman of a subcommittee on University renovations. Miki Gordon, Topena junior, was elected subcommittee chairwoman. Rick Kastner, Warameo sophomore, was elected chairman of a subcommittee on improving campus accessibility for the handcapped. Mark Mikkelsen, Lawrence graduate student, was elected chairman of a subcommittee on the graduate student fee
Ron Allen, CSHE chairman, said sub-committee members would begin research on their topics and would present their findings at the next CSHE meeting in January.
Alen also announced the appointment of his assistant chairman, Mark M. Clanlahan, Oversee.
"It didn't end up saving us time because of the amount of red tape and legal problems we ran in to," he said. "Some people would have been better off if it had never been used before."
Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said there had been problems getting documents drawn up with the legal wording for the design-build method.
"The next time we use this method the process should go a lot faster since we've learned."
CORMAN SAID that this method would save the state some money on the garage, but that it would have been less expensive if the process had been faster.
"The cost is reasonable, though," he said.
The car costs $3,000 a parking space, which is fairly expensive.
He said the fee split was decided by mutual agreement between Eby and
The state will支付 a single fee to Eby Construction, which will give a portion of the cost for construction.
Schultz used the design-build method had advantages over the conventional method of construction for the construction company and the customer.
THE MAIN ADVANTAGE is that the contractor has a lot more input into the design of the garage than when the architect is working independently," he said. "It also becomes more economically feasible. If an architect wants to build the construction company cannot build, the architect must re-design the structure, which will cost more money."
The method is also more efficient because the contractor controls the structure, he
The five-level garage will have 750 parking spaces, of which 420 will be employees. The other 300 spaces for employee use. The 300 spaces for be handicapped people.
The Med Center currently has 2,446 parking spaces.
SOME PARTS of the garage will be precast in a Kansas City, Kan., plant, brought to the site and molded to fit. Schultz said it was an economical way to build a garage.
Wiechert said he estimated the garage would be completed in August 1979, a few months after the hospital is scheduled to open.
The KU Endowment Association donated $189,000 to construct a glass-enclosed elevated walkway connecting the garage to the new Bell Memorial Hospital.
