and only person in line yesterday, figures he will have waited about forty hours when the weather changed.
Students Face 1st Day In Carpeted Wescoe
By DON KINNEY
Kansan Staff Reporter
Opening day activities went smoothly yesterday at Wescoe Hall as students shuffled in and out of classes on the floor, the only floor ready for occupancy.
Students who walked down the wide, carpeted hallway expressed surprise at the display of posters.
"I're really nice," said Mark Roll, Shawnee Mision freshman. "But we had to sit on the floor because there were no desks."
By the end of the afternoon the desk shortage had been resolved, and few major complaints were made to the department of Buildings and Grounds.
Registrar William L. Kelly said yesterday that about 80 per cent of the 1,900-student seating capacity on the fourth floor was in use and the fourth floor of Wescoe has 40 classrooms.
"We're using all available space in an effort to centralize the classes that otherwise would be spread across the campus," Kelly said.
All classrooms on the floor have been completed, although the language laboratories do not have their electronic lighting in some rooms isn't yet completed.
The carpeting, which reduces noise in the building, poses a cleaning problem. Buildings and grounds officials assigned two men to vacuum the carpeting throughout each day in addition to the nightly clean-un crew.
Work will continue on the first three floors while students attend classes on the fourth floor. The entire building should be completed by Thanksgiving.
The lower floors will contain more than 300 faculty offices, 12 departmental offices, 300-seat auditoriums and several informal study areas with vending services.
"We hope that the students will not smoke or bring food onto the fourth floor," said Keith Lawton, director of Facilities Planning and Operations. "That's one reason why we are providing the lounge and vending area on the first floor."
The entire humanities department will eventually be housed in Wesco, cen-
tral park, in the heart of Brooklyn.
Newsprint Short; Papers Slim
By the Associated Press
A number of the nation's larger newspapers are suspending some of their editions and standing features such as a feature on the face of a growing shortage of newsprint.
The amount of newsprint, the paper on which newspapers are printed, has dwindled considerably in the last week because of Canadian strikes on railroads and at some paper mills that turn out the newsprint.
About 65 per cent of all newspaper used in the United States is imported from Canada. Canadian production had been reduced in recent weeks by 6,000 tons a day because of the mill strikes. The nationwide railroad strike has cut the supply to nothing.
The Wall Street Journal announced in its editions yesterday that as part of an effort to continue publishing "the essential news of the day," it would curtail or suspend
certain standing features, suspend all promotion activity, and place a strict boundary
Newspapers across the country were running short of newsprint and were beginning to take actions to conserve their newspapers before the Canadian situation worsened.
Because of the tight newsprint supply, the Associated Press began a daily news service.
In Montreal, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau said after an emergency Cabinet meeting that he would call for a ban on the railroad strike was not resolved.
Even with ideal conditions, a newsprint shortage will be felt by U.S. papers for the next 18 months, according to Canadian experts.
The paper shortage is beginning to affect such basic items as business forms,
corrugated boxes, waxed paper and paper bags.
Generally, newspapers are dealing with the problem in a reasonable manner—cutting back on some standing features, or moving them to a lower size, reducing the size and number of pictures.
Some newspapers said they already had been notified by Canadian firms that newspaper shipments for 1973 would be 10 per cent below 1972 levels.
There have been only a few instances of newspapers being forced to stop publication, but many say the situation is critical and could become worse if the Canadian labor situation isn't resolved soon.

The $7-million building was designed to offer students relaxation and study space, private study alcoves and informal study spaces. The study terrace will be part of the first floor.
Named in honor of former KU chancellor, Clark Wesley, the building will also provide innovative electronic language laboratories with library and office facilities.
Administrators and contractors decided in February to devote as much effort as possible to completion of the top floor for the new building. The project was building to be completed by late November,
"Finishing the fourth floor by this week is due to a major effort by all of the parties involved," said Lawton. "I really think that it is a fine facility."
