Students, ad hoc committee seek gym for Medical Center campus
By ROSEMARY INTFEN
Staff Reporter
Student organizations at the University of Kansas School of Allied Health Sciences have joined forces with an ad hoc committee to meet the university's need for recreational facilities.
The group will present a general proposal to the Med Center's executive vice chancellor, David Waxman, at a meeting today, and Steve Chernow, student union president.
The ad hoc committee was appointed two weeks ago by Waxman to look into ways to fund a recreational building on the Med Center campus.
The Med Center has no recreational facilities and this move is part of the student union's four-year effort to obtain approval for a new recreational building.
right now. We just want to suggest to Waxman the idea of funding a building through the KU Endowment Association and funds, not through the state. Cermoff said.
He said the student body favored funding the building through non-state money because the Kansas Board of Regents and the Board of Education took too long to amuse a new building.
CHERNOFF SAID it had been difficult to organize student teams and to set up meeting rooms. The faculty meeting would result in Waxman's approval to request a piece of land from the Ekkei family.
"Basically we are going to ask him for his blessing. The general sentiment of the students is to get something done now but we have to get the land first," he said.
A petition had been circulating at the Med
center for the past two weeks as Waxman to look into the possibility of a nonstate funded recreation building. Chernoff would present it and would be presented at the meeting.
"The petition went around and we showed it to a faculty steering committee. The thinking was that we would need to change it," he said. Chernoff said the committees would propose funding a building that was similar to the buildings currently on the Regents priority list.
THE PROPOSED state-funded building would cost about $7.8 million and would include offices for the Med Center's continuing education program, Cronoff said.
"We want the gym on the order of what's on the list but without the continuing education."

used as a pencil to play gymnastic events. IN THE BASEMEN, a long bar that extended along the north wall offered beer and snacks. Two bowling alleys also were set up in the basement of the hall, along with tables and chairs for card playing.
used as a perch to view gymnastic events.
Behind the hall, a wooden fence concealed a beer garden from the public's view.
Dances and masquerade parties were held in the hall, along with wedding celebrations.
"The annual Christmas party stands out," Rowe wrote. "A fire reaching nearly to the ceiling was on the floor close to the stage, where a flame would appear in an opening in the ceiling, above the stage and come down, hand on hand on a rope to distribute gifts from the floor."
Rowe wrote that at the turn of the century members of the Turvaverin grew up in North America, when it was rumored that Carrie Nation, an ax-wielding prohabilitionist, had killed Carrie failed to
visit the hall, the members had planned to douse her with a garden hose attached behind the bar if she threatened their beer
The Turnerwein was closed prior to World War I, when anti-German feeling first surfaced in Lawrence. The society disbanded and the building was emptied.
AT A "LOYALTY ACTION" on April 5, Mr. A. Turner, president of the Turverren, expressed the plight of the German Americans of Lawrence who were torn between loyalty to their native roots and freedom.
"We have two boys, 20 and 18 years old," he said. "We are of proud them. They are American boys, if you please, and proud of us, because we are loyality and if it becomes necessary to enter this hell of a war in defense of heart and fireside, I am sure they can be depended on to do their duty, but God grant that they will always be our allies and their cousins on the battlefields of Europe.
Following the war, an attempt was made to reorganize the Turnerin, but the society was never able to match its pre-war popularity.
In 1938, the hall was sold to Philp Erasmus, who leased the building to Humury Vehicle Co., a firm that manufactured toys. In 1947, Humury acquired the National Guard and the Salvation Army.
FESTIVE MUSIC once drifted from the hall, and today, music again can be heard emanating from the historic structure.
Audio House and Audio Systems, two Lawrence businesses owned by Larry Miller, rent the building from Philip Ernst, according to Miller.
The hall's main floor now is an ect-
chamber, used in the process of recording.
In the basement, a sound-recording studi-
ce, a demonstration room and a stereo control room have been built, although the structure remains
primarily the same as it was when it was
built.
Although the arched, gray wooden front on the west of the building are sturdy locked, neighborhood children play on the front steps as German children once did, and there are two walls that Hall Glow warmly in an afternoon sun as they have for 110 years.
