Snow Hall Addition at Halfway Point
SNOW HALL . . . 50 per cent completed
By Carrie Edwards
Construction on a million-dollar scientific research project, a wing to Snow Hall, has reached the 50 per cent completion mark at KU. It is expected to be ready for occupancy in fall 1961.
THE ADDITION to Snow Hall, for which the federal government allocated almost $120,000, will house 44 experimentation rooms, including a radiation biology laboratory, an animal psychology room and a sociological laboratory. Also to be housed in the new structure will be a graduate students' conference room and the KU herbarium.
The University's herb garden now is an ever-expanding collection creeping further along one side of the office of the chairman of the department of botany.
Each of the science departments in Snow Hall (botanical, zoological biological, entomological and bacteriological) has its classrooms and laboratories on one floor. Each will take over rooms on that same level in the addition. The department of
Civil Service Sets Accountant Exams
Kansas civil service examinations for Accountant i and II will be given November 19 at Lawrence High School. Examinations for Statistician I and II and Home Teacher for the Blind will be given at the same time.
Examination announcements and applications can be obtained from the State Personnel Division, 801 Harrison St. Topeka, and should be returned to the Personnel Division as soon as possible.
About three-fourths of the nearly 100 Accountant I and II positions open in state agencies are in Topeka, the State Personnel Division announced.

THE SIX - STORY ADDITION extends northeastward from Snow Hall, cutting into the small bluff between Strong Hall and Memorial Drive. Each of the floors will measure 13,439 square feet.
bacteriology will continue to occupy the fifth and sixth floors.
A compressor and cooling tower for the addition have been installed atop the Hall Laboratory of Mammalian Genetics, another Snow Lall extension which was completed last spring.
Prof. Charles Leone, chairman of the University's department of zoology, in 1955 applied to the U.S. Public Health Service for funds for additional laboratories. Representatives from the other departments in Snow Hall made later applications for aid from the Federal Government.
The State agreed to pay the remaining cost of the proposed addition after the Public Health Service allocated the $120,000 requested.
"THE CHANGE THAT will come with this extension will be a change from an impossible situation with respect to teaching and research space to one of extremely crowded conditions," Prof. Leone said.
Some biology laboratory classes must be held in the evening because of a facility shortage which has developed with increases in enrollment the last few years.
now for classes in a "roach and rat-infested animal psychology house on the other side of the hill from Snow Hall" will hold their classes in a special room in the addition.

In 1955-57 it was thought only four floors would be needed in the expansion, according to Prof. Leone. The U.S. Public Health Service in 1957 allocated 50 thousand dollars for a proposed four-level project. The State had agreed to match that amount.
"A change in needs was recognized. The State and chairmen in Snow wanted to go for six floors, rather than four, to give the bacteriology and botany departments the space they needed," Prof. Leone said.
IN 1959 THE U.S. Public Health Service approved a six-department application for $67,000 for equipment for the addition. The remaining $880,000 for the project are coming from the Kansas Educational Building Fund.

Part of that money will go for slight remodeling and air conditioning of 40 per cent of the original Snow Hall. All of the new addition will be air conditioned.
Prof. Leone is not ready to stop applying for aid for new additions just because the completion of one new wing is in 'view'.
"I HAVE PLANS in mind to make application this winter to the

Government for still another wing,' he said with a smile.
Prof. Leone was not sure how much he would apply for next time. Asked if he thought his application this winter for state and federal aid would be approved, the professor grinned over a test tube and said:
