Kansans like life at home
By United Press International
WICHTI — Seeingly agreeing with Dorothy that there's no place like home, about two-thirds of Kansans responding to a poll say they would rather live in the Sunflower State than in any other.
And 71 percent of Kansans surveyed by the Wichita Eagle-Beacon last month said they would advise a young person starting out in a career to begin in Kansas, the newspaper reported yesterday.
The newspaper interviewed 1,137 Kansans between July 23 and 30 on their home state preferences. Results of the poll are accurate to within 3 percent.
The survey shows that older Kansans are most loyal to their state, with 77 percent of those over 65 preferring life in Kansas to some other place. Younger people are stronger in their desire to leave, with 49 percent of those under age 26 expressing interest in living in other states and 49 percent content to stay in Kansas.
The yearning to live somewhere other than Kansas increases as individual income rises. For example, 72 percent of people making less than $10,000 a year would rather live in Kansas while only 51 percent of those making more than $80,000 want to remain in the state.
Of the 31 percent of Kansans who want to live in another state, most cite mountains and other scenic attractions or the boomtown economies of other cities as their reasons. Slightly more than one in five, or 21 percent, would like to make their home in Colorado, with Texas mentioned the second most often at 12 percent.
Next in line are California, Missouri, Oklahoma, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington.
The survey also asked Kansans which season they liked most and which they liked least. Spring and fall tied at 37 percent each as being the favorite of those polled. Summer came next at 14 percent

KU construction nears end

Three main construction projects at the University of Kansas are nearing completion despite delays in building schedules, KU officials say.
One of the most obvious University construction efforts is the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, which sprung up west of Allen Field House this summer.
The pavilion was originally scheduled to be completed Sept. 1, but rain early in the summer delayed construction, said Floy Temple, assistant manager. The building is now scheduled for the week of Oct. 15.
"The progress reports indicate that things are pretty much on schedule for the mid-October date." Temple said.

"If there was a heavy rain storm or something of that sort, the football team may be able to use it for indoor practices as early as Sept. 1." Temple said. "But the place won't be entirely ready until later."
able to use the pavilion earlier, according to Temple, but only on what he called an "emergency basis."
In addition to a 70-yard football practice field, the pavilion will also house the indoor facilities for KU track teams. The $3.5 million complex was financed by private donations.
One construction project on campus is running ahead of schedule. The addition to Haworth Hall, which was originally scheduled to be completed in September 1985, may be ready for partial use next semester.
ACCOORDING TO BOB PORTER, associate director of plant maintenance, the top two or three stories are almost finished, but full occupancy will not be available until summer.
The $12.7 million project began in January 1983 and includes laboratories, class rooms and offices. Porter said that construction was delayed by winter weather, but the lost time was made up this summer.
Another University building, Bailey Hall, will have a new air conditioning system installed by Oct. 1.
Because of delays in receiving materials and some mistakes in the "educated guessing" about the building's engineering and architecture, the completion date had to be changed from Sept. 1, Porter said.
