In announcing that the building contract had been awarded to the Constant Construction Co., Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the KU Endowment Assn., said he knows of no other university which has a facility such as this for retired staff members.
Construction will begin next week on the unique $214,000 Sprague Apartments for retired University of Kansas staff members.
Building to Begin On Apartments For Retired Staff
The building was made possible by a gift from Miss Elizabeth Sprague, 1639 Crescent Rd., in memory of her sister, Miss Amelia Sprague, Miss Elizabeth Sprague is chairman emeritus of the KU home economics department, and was a member of the KU faculty from 1914 to 1940.
The building will be owned by the KU Endowment Assn., and those occupying units will pay rental to the Endowment Assn.
The 10-unit apartment building will be north and west of Templin Hall, contemporary in design with a red brick exterior. It will have six two-bedroom apartments and four one-bedroom units.
Youngberg and J. L. Constant said they hope to have the building completed by the summer or early fall of 1960. In building the new unit Templin Hall will be razed.
In discussing Miss Sprague's gift to the Endowment Assn. for this building Youngberg said he was extremely pleased.
"This is another example of the generosity of numerous staff and faculty members which has helped to make the University an even greater institution," he said.
Priority for acquiring rental units will be made by years of service at KU and age of applicants.

The purpose of the camp is to stimulate student interest in science by lectures, laboratory work, or field trips in each of the basic sciences and mathematics.
The students will be instructed in what modern science involves such as techniques, apparatus, attitudes, and the experimental approach.
The fields of science in which laboratory or field work will be done are anatomy, anthropology, bacteriology, biochemistry, botany, chemistry, entomology, geography, geology, mathematics, physics, physiology, psychology, radiation biophysics, and zoology.
Dr. R, W. Baxter, associate professor of botany, is camp director.

The purpose of the camp has been to set up a summer program for high school and junior high school students in the various fields of music which would carry the students far beyond their normal summer activities.
KU Track Team Wins NCAA Title at Lincoln
The three major divisions of the camp, the concert band, the symphony orchestra, and the chorus, have intensive daily rehearsals under local and guest conductors to prepare for the weekly Sunday afternoon and evening concerts.
Saturday night saw the culmination of five years hard work and frustration for the Jayhawks as they won their first National Collegiate track and field championship at Lincoln, Neb.
Houston finished third with 38, followed by Oklahoma with 31, and Oklahoma State, 22 1/10. Missouri finished eighth with 19. Emporia State had 10 1/10, Wichita and Kansas State got 5 each.
Kansas picked up three first places and scored in nine of the 18 events to amass a comfortable 73 points, 24 9/10 points ahead of their nearest opponents. San Jose State, which finished second.
Coach Bill Easton had high praise for Ernie Shelby, team captain, and Charles Tidwell.
"This is a pretty tough meet. We figured on 60 points and it was the extra effort of everyone that brought us our final total. Twice before we had the best men, so to speak, but we couldn't quite get top billing. We hoped this would be it, and everything went right."
"It was a supreme team effort that pulled us through. You can't say too much for the stupendous leadership of Shelly and the terrific showing of Tidwell."
The Jayhawks finished second twice and third and fourth in the last four years.
Here is how KU scored.
Javelin--Bill Alley, first. 240-5½; Jim Linderholm, third. 232-7½.
100-Dash — Tidwell, first, :99.3 (Tied the record—nullified because of wind)
Broad Jump—Shelby, first, 25-5.
Strebny, C. (25), 28,
400-Meter Hurdles—Clif Cushman
second., 513.3.
3,000-Meter Steeplechase — Berry Crawford, fifth. 9:34.9
120-High Hurdles — Bill Tillman
third. 14.0.

46-14-2; Cushman, sixth, 45-9.
220-Low Hurdles -Tidwell, second,
222:6. Shelbv. third. 233.
The Big Eight conference as a whole made an excellent showing by scoring in 15 events. The only events the league failed to dent were the hammer throw, high jump, and 880-vard run.
Even though KU had the title ied,
the 220-yard low hurdles, final run-
ning event, provided a flashy and
point-adding flourish.
Haves Jones of Eastern Michigan nipped Tidwell in :22.5 record-breaking tie for one curve, but the wind nullified the mark. Tidwell was clocked in :22.6 and Shelby picked up third in :23.3 for the final 14-point slam.
The 38th annual championship produced a total of two records—in the hammer throw and the 400-meter hurdles—and a tie in the 120-yard high hurdles.
MOVING IN—Corbin Hall was the scene of much activity Sunday as unidentified parents helped their
children get settled for the six-week band camp. Junior does the supervising while popa does the work.
Prof. Wiley said the camp is no longer "just a Midwest music camp."
ranger just a Midwest music camp." "We are reaching a lot of youngsters and offering them a terrific program.
"We estimate that we will have students here from over 35 different states, including Florida, Texas, Vermont, and New York," Prof. Wiley said.
Prof. Wilev said the camp students get better opportunities than regular students.
"We give them the finest college teachers available. We have about 45 regular faculty members available this summer, aside from the large supervisory staff.
Gerald M. Carney, associate professor of music education and associate camp director, said the program in each field—music, art, ballet—is so full that few students enroll in more than one field.
"We offer students a complete program every week—new music, new conductor, new everything. Some of our top-flight music students stay over for the experience," Prof. Wiley said.
"Most students who come here are vitally interested in one field. Few come here to 'find their interests.' Our camp is very highly specialized and most of the students are already specializing." Prof. Carney said.
Prof. Wiley said a student applying for admission to the camp goes through a selection process.
"Three letters of recommendation are required—one from the student's music supervisor, one from the music teacher, and one from the student's principal. The letters must attest to the student's ability as a music student, to his character, and to his general intellectual ability."
"We find this screening most effective. We get only top-flight students." Prof. Wiley said.
Prof. Wiley praised the buildings and grounds staff of the University.
"They are really doing a tremendous job. They have to do such things as setting out all the equipment for the Sunday concerts.
"The administration of the University is in complete cooperation with the activities of the camp." Prof. Wiley said.
Graduate in Piano Recital
The School of Fine Arts will present Anna Harriette Koch, pianist, in a graduate recital at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Swarthout Recital Hall.

Her program will include the Bach Toccata in E minor, the Schubert Sonata in A minor. Ous 42; the Prokofeff Sonata No. 6, and two works by Chopin.
Make-Up Placement Exams to Be Given
Make-up placement examinations will be given at 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday in Bailey Auditorium. All new undergraduate students working toward a degree are required to take the series of four tests.
There will be no fee if the tests are taken this week, but examinées will be charged for taking the examination at a later date. If a student does not take the examinations he will be withdrawn.
