KU builds and rebuilds for future
New Computation Center, Sunnuside Avenue

The University of Kansas campus has been the scene of more than $23 million worth of construction this summer. Work is progressing on the construction of a Composition Center and satellite union. Construction begins at Stadium, Malott Hall and Robinson Gymnasium, according to Keith Lawton, director of the Office of Facilities Planning. Lawton said heavy rains early in the summer may have slowed work on campus, but he didn't know if completion of any of the construction or renovation would be delayed.
"I think it's too early to tell if the rain caused any significant delays," he said.
The first building scheduled to be completed is the Computation Center at Sunnyside Ave. and Illinois Street. The $4 million center, which will house all the computer hardware now in Summerfield the its anexes, is scheduled to open this fall.
"THE SPACE in Summerfield, once the
computers are moved out, will be absorbed by the Business and Economics schools,"
The Summerfield annexes will be used by the Human Development and Family Life, and Special Education Departments for their research projects, Ralph Christofersen, associate vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, said.
The Computation Center will contain energy-saving devices, Paul Wolfe, coordinator of the Academic Computer Center, said.
"There is a 75-seat auditorium designed for training sessions, seminars, technical training and professional development."
"The center has been designed to use the heat generated by the computers to heat the buildings."
The center also will have an auditorium and a walk-up window where students and faculty can meet.
The computation center also was designed to allow for expansion in the future, Wolfe 1952.

The School of Pharmacy will move its west campus offices and laboratories to Maliet after the construction is completed, with Cotton, associate dean of the school, said.
Renovating is also being done on the existing part of Malott. Renovations include installing air conditioning and double glazed windows and the improvement of the

Improvements to the stadium include replacement of the artificial turf, renovation of the dressing rooms and public restrooms and expansion of the press box. In addition, the concrete floors of the stands are being restored and waterproofed.

Studying conjures up images of locking oneself in one's room, chaining oneself to a desk and strenly telling friends that they have never been locked, no matter how finely one begs.

Floyd Temple, Physical Plant Director,
said construction was on schedule. He said
commencement exercises at the stadium last May had not deluded the work.
Construction of a west campus satellite union, east of Green Hall, began last spring. The $2.5 million union will contain a bookstore, a food service and areas for student meetings. The union is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 1979.
Like a scene from an old monster movie, we see ourselves as heroes who must understrike a supreme test to prove ourselves. Silicon Valley and never has been, a very incessant pursuit.
Desks and study lights are located against the south wall on each floor of the stacks. At some of the desks on the upper stack levels, there are windows which provide a view south to Wells Overlook State Park and Mount Bleu, Kanas' only ski resort.
University of Kansas students have discovered that studying can be disguised with pleasant surroundings in an effort to make it more bearable.
One of the most consistently popular places has always been the stacks in Watson
The stacks are eight floors in Watson where most of the books are kept. One may enter them by going up to the second floor and entering into the contract to the stacks is just west of the desk.
One of these is at the end of West Campus Road, in front of the Chi Omega sorority house. The other is southwest of Alumni Place. just north of Miller scholarship hall.
The area between Sunflower Road and Fraser Hall has a lawn with many shade trees.
If one wants an open field, the grass field east of Stouffer Place and along 19th Street may be a good place to study, unless the KU band B happens to be practicing there.
Two fountains on campus also provide a serene atmosphere for study.
Another popular place has always been the Kansas University. In the Union, couches and chairs can usually be found near the elevators on each floor, and throughout the fourth floor. The fourth floor also has the candy and magazine stand, banking and travel services and television nearby which may be distracting. On the other hand, couches would be distract when they study, so this may be the place for them.
WHEN INTRAMURAL games aren't being held, the fields south of Watkins Memorial Hospital and at the corner of 23rd Street provides a quiet place for students.
For example, a grove of trees stretches from the Spencer Museum of Art to Carnarvon O'Leary Hall around Potter Lake. Some trees south of Wescoe Hall are very popular.
Wesco Hall seems to be a haven for the unwilling student. Benches located inside and out of the building on the upper three floors have tables, which caterafia crowd often overflows on to the outside patio area. Books are usually found there with a liberal mix of pastriam on rye.
Every student has come up with his or her ideas of the perfect place to pursue this course.
Some halls, such as Summerfield and Pint Hall, keep reading rooms which deal with the works of Oscar Wilde.
For the uncompromising student who can't even stand to be on campus when studying, there are city and county parks. Centennial Park, on 9th street just west of the intersection of Green Arrow Park, at the corner of 31st and Stainman streets provide natural study settings.
For those who wish to commune with nature while they study, greenery abounds on their property.
FOR PURE SILENCE, many students have found that the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art and the KU Museum of Natural History can't be beat.

For the slightly more serious student, the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Ventor St., has a few items Watson Library is have. Pay typewriters are available, and one may also borrow headphones to listen to the library's records while he studies.
Between the fourth and fifth floors, in the
fourth floor are chairs which
overlook Memorial Hall.

Colors at the University of Kansas weren't always crimson and blue.
Yellow and blue were the first colors. Yellow symbolized the fields of ripened grain and blue represented the Kansas skies.
Of course, there are other places which may appeal to individual students more than these, but this guide should provide a guide, some ridiculous and some practical.
In 1892 students argued that football suits of light blue and yellow were soiled too easily. Students voted to change the original colors the Board of Regents had chosen.
Blue was suggested in deference to Chancellor Frank Strong, who had come from Yale. To make it fair they adopted the idea of Harvard for Colonel John J. McCook.

THE NAME OF Jayhawk has always applied to the University. There has been difficulty in tracing the bird's genealogy, but the earliest known use of the term was in 1840.
IT WAS SO popular that the entire University adopted it as the official cheer and soon became the official mascot.
Crimson and blue were used as KU's colors from then on. In 1868 the athletic board made them the official colors of KU athletic teams but the Board of Regents did not make them the official University colors until the 1960's.
The term Jayhawk was also used in the 1850s and applied to foragers and guerrillas. With the pre-Civil War skirmishes along the coast, he became applauded and more买了 Kongans.
A wagon train formed in Galesburg, IL, to go to California but was poorly prepared for the trip across the prairies. Someone asked them how they would make the trip.
The Science Club needed a cheer and E. H. S. Bailey of the chemistry department proposed "Rah! Rah! Jayhawk! K.U." repeated three times.
"We are going to jayawk our way," rebuilt a member of the wazon train.
When the Rock Chalk chant was started in 1878 or 1888, the Jayhawk was a part of the

George "Dumpy" Bowles wrote KU's fight song for a musical show he produced as a student in 1912. The song was not used in the first version of the show there was an effort to encourage school spirit.
