West Sunnyside Buildings To Be Vacated By June 15
The eight West Sunnyside apartment buildings will be vacated by June 15 Joseph J. Wilson, director of dormitories, has announced.
The frame buildings situated northeast of the intersection of Naismith Road and 16th street will be razed. Construction of a School of Business building will probably be started on the site during the summer. Plans for the structure are nearly complete, and it will have priority for any share the 1957 Legislature appropriates to KU from the state educational building fund.
Wilson said all families living in the 48 units will have the opportunity for reassignment to the 23 buildings in east Sunnyside. No new assignments will be made there for summer or next fall until all West Sunnyside residents can be reassigned.
"Although we are temporarily sacrificing 48 apartments, the 120 units of the Stouffer Place married student housing project will be ready by September;" Mr. Wilson said.
The 31 two-story frame barracks- type buildings were moved to KU
Late Dr. Taft Receives Award
Robert Taft, former professor of physical chemistry, has been granted the Byron Caldwell Smith Award posthumously by the New York Community Trust. The $750 award is given for his book, "Artists and Illustrators of the Old West, 1850-1900," which was published in 1953 by Charles Scribner's Sons.
Dr. Taft died on Sept. 23, 1955 at the age of 61. The University committee which recommended the award to the distribution committee of the New York Community Trust is headed by F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law. The award will be made to Dr. Taft's widow at the KU Commencement exercises in June.
The award is made to a citizen of Kansas or the Mississippi Valley whose book or books, written in the mother-tongue of Americans, are of outstanding scholarship.
Fencing Club To Be Organized Today
A fencing club will be organized in Robinson Gymnasium at 7 p.m today.
Officers will be elected, committees formed, and a schedule of meetings and practice sessions drawn up.
40 Visit General Motors
The club is being organized to provide opportunities for fencing and to give members a chance to learn the use of other fencing weapons like the saber, epee and foil. Fencing matches with other schools will be arranged. Last year the club won a match with Nebraska.
About 40 engineering students toured the Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac assembly plant in Kansas City, Kan., Nov. 30. The tour included every phase of assembly line production. Afterwards, plant officials outlined job opportunities for engineers in the General Motors organization.
The United States Treasury will receive more than $100,000,000 this year for grazing and timber rights in national forests.
from Camp Barkley, Tex. in the summer of 1946. The eight to be razed in West Sunnyside were the last erected, having been completed in the spring of 1947.
Priority in occupancy has always been given faculty and advanced students holding part-time positions.
Proposed Bill Would Curb ASC Absences
A resolution to curb excessive absences by members will be introduced at the All Student Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Pine Room of the Student Union.
Not enough members attended the last meeting to make a quorum in either the Senate or House of Representatives.
The proposed resolution will make two consecutive absences from Council of committee meetings grounds for expulsion from the Council. The committee on Committees would then consider the record of the member and would decide if the member should be expelled.
Athletic seating arrangements at next year's football games will be considered. Dick Walt, Girard senior, will propose a referendum that would let students express their opinions.
3 Choices
The referendum would be:
1. No seat saving whatsoever. 2. Block seat saving in a restricted area north of the 30-yard line. 3. Seating by classes.
The possibilities of setting up an identification card for wives or husbands of students and a ticket exchange program for athletic events will be referred to the Opportunities and Election Committees. They will report their findings to the Council at a later meeting.
Plans for the "Meet Your ASC" visits to dorms and houses will be outlined by Nan Morgan, Wichita junior. The purpose of "Meet Your ASC" is to set up communications between the student body and the Council.
Other Business
Other business includes reports from committees, appointments of two delegates to the International Affairs Seminar at Texas A and M in Austin Dec. 12 to 15 and reports of members who attended conferences.
Bill Reed, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, will give a report about the Labor Committee's work toward raising student wages.
