Jayhawker Hilton Opens
The new Joseph R. Pearson dormitory is described by its residents as the "Jayhawk Hilton."
And so it looked to a couple of envious nonresidents who toured the six-story building. Residents have been moving in all week bringing the total to 275 students living in the dormitory by the weekend.
Jim Middleton, resident director, said the finishing touches on the building will be completed by the end of this week. Several desks have yet to be moved into sixth floor rooms.
There are ping pong tables on three of the floors in the lounge area at the center of the building. On alternate floors television lounges are located.
Some residents claim that from the sixth floor through the windows on the east side the television towers of Kansas City can be seen. At any rate the residents have a commanding view.
Large closets and soft beds are the features of the rooms. In the basement is a "quiet kitchen" with a ventilated sound board ceiling.
Twenty-five students work in the stainless steel kitchen along with 10 regular employees under the direction of Mrs. Rose Hopper, head dietician.
Testing the bed for softness is Kent Tigges, Humboldt, Ia., junior.
Tigges shows off the large closet in one of the dormitory's rooms.
