WHAT NOW?—Blake Hall, unoccupied since the physics department moved into Malott Hall, became a problem again for the University when apparent low bids for its remodeling were turned down by the state architect because they exceeded the $350.000 available.
Cellist Will Be Presented In Fine Arts Recital Monday
Mrs. Verna Jarnot, cellist, will be presented by the KU School of Fine Arts in a senior recital on Monday, July 22, at 8:00 p.m. in Strong Auditorium.
The program will include Sonata in D. Minor by Corelli, Concerto for Cello by J. Chr. Bach and Sonata in C Major, Op. 102, No. 1 by Beethoven. Sandra Harding, of Lawrence, a piano major from the studio of Angelica Morales von Sauer, will assist at the piano.
Mrs. Jarnot is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E. Morin, Laconia, New Hampshire, and the widow of Lt. John J. Jarnot, Niagara Falls, New York, who was killed
while on active duty with the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War.
After the death of her husband Mrs. Jarnot turned to the pursuit of a nearly life-long ambition of becoming a cellist. She entered the University of New Hampshire and, upon the advice of a member of that music faculty, a KU graduate, later transferred to KU to study with Raymond Stuhl, associate professor of cello. At KU Mrs. Jarnot has been a member of the University Symphony Orchestra and the Cello Choir. She received her Bachelor of Music Education Degree in March of 1957 and this fall will begin her duties as a teacher of elementary music.
Blake Future Hinges On Chancellor's Plans
Apparent low bids for the remodeling of Blake Hall, turned down Tuesday by the state architect, exceeded construction costs, on a square foot basis, of the Music and Fine Arts building, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said Wednesday.
Studio Theater Gets Manager
Gordon E. Beck, who has been on the faculty of Bowling Green State University in Ohio the past year, will become instructor in speech and drama at KU September 1, the chancellor's office announced Thursday.
He will take over supervision of the Studio Theater work, replacing Nathaniel Eek, instructor in speech and drama, who will study for the Ph.D. degree in theater management at Ohio State University.
The Studio Theater schedule involves productions less elaborate and difficult than those on the major University Theater list. It provides stage experience for the less advanced theater students and members of the general student body.
Beck is working on a doctoral dissertation this summer at the University of Illinois. He holds the A.B. degree, in 1951, from Bowling Green State University; and the M.A. degree, in 1952, from Western Reserve University in Cleveland, O.

LUTE SONG—Cast members rehearse for the University Theatre production of "Lute Song," which opened Thursday night in the Student Union Ballroom. The last performance will be
tonight at 7:30 p.m. Shown above (from left) are Leslie Bliss, Anthony; Nancy Rate, Halstead, and Mike Rouse, Wichita.
Nichols said that the state architect "appears to have no alternative but to reject all bids." Future plans will await Cancellor Franklin D. Murphy's return from Europe in August, he said.
Howard Compton, assistant state architect, said the bids ran "way beyond the money available."
The low bids totaled $550,675.
About $350,000 is available. Total costs,
including alternate construction,
would have run the cost to about $602,000.
The plan was to convert the 3-story building, formerly occupied by the physics department, into a 4-story building to be occupied by University Extension.
Nichols said that "several alternatives face the University. We can abandon the project completely and turn the mosey back to the state, we could redesign the building, or we can build a new building."
Apparent low bidders at a bid opening conducted by the state purchasing division were B. A. Green Construction Co., Inc., Lawrence, $320,644 on the general contract; P. F. Gough Construction Co., Lawrence, $134,666 on plumbing and seating; Beadnall Electric Co., St. Pospeh, Mo., $79,884 on electrical work, and Elevator Sales and Service, Inc., Kansas City, Mo., $15,481 for a hydraulic service elevator.

468 Students Given Awards
Four hundred and sixty-eight academic scholarships have been awarded to undergraduates for the 1957-58 year at KU.
The report, by Spencer E. Martin, director of the Aids and Awards office, while not all-inclusive, covers the work of most of the major scholarship committees. However, it does not list renewals, of which there will be an estimated 250 to 300. Nor does the report include any awards to graduate students.
Four Free Movies Tonight
Movies to be shown tonight outside Robinson Gym are "Food Getting Among Animals," "Mt. Rainier National Park," "Children of the Sun," and "Spider Engineers." The films, which will begin at 8 p.m., will be moved inside in case of rain.
