Architecture class builds shopping mall prototype
By DAVID EDDS
Staff Writer
Eleven architecture students built a downtown mall this summer in about three weeks.
A real mail would take thousands of man-hours to build. But the students' version was only a model of a mail that included the 600 block of Massachusetts Street.
Bob Greenstreet, architecture instructor who directed the design studio and taught students how to reason behind the project was 'to bet student participation on a project in
"A lot of architectural projects are geared to nothing," he said.
Dave Cauley, Lawrence graduate student, agreed that working on a project that conceivably would be built in the field of interest is interesting with a hypothetical project.
"I THINK IT gets you involved in the community around you," he said. "It provides a feeling that this is a chance to do something just right, pulled out of the sky for you to do."
Caughay said the students spent two weeks working in groups to set goals for the project. In July they started working individually to find solutions for the goals.
Greenstreet, a native of England, said, "Coming from an European climate, I think the revitalization of cities is very important and must be used to their maximum potential."
WITH CHEAP, plentiful energy a thing of the past, Greenstreet thinks development of city centers is more important than ever.
"When you consider factors such as the petri crisis and urban decay, bring development to the center of downtown becomes a more crucial factor," he said.
Greentree said the 600 block of Massachusetts Street was chosen because at the moment there was not much here.
"A shopping center would tend to strengthen the area and tend to draw people toward city hall. "It could be said, as it approaches the river," he said.
THE CONSTRUCTION of the new city hall makes the 600 block of Massachusetts a key site, according to Greenstreet.
from doing the project "in sympathy" with the surroundings to "building something uncompromisingly modern."
Whether a shopping mall should be built downtown, as Greenstreet's students model suggests, or on the outskirts of the city has become an issue in Lawyers.
The site model was made of cardboard and plastic. Greenstreet said, and shoes
Greenstreet thinks outward expansion causes a loss of the city feeling.
"IF YOU HAVE to drive to everything, you loose the urban context," he said.
You have never given up everything you love the urban context," he said. He said that many students shared his feelings about cities expanding outward.
"When they completed the model, they believed it was possible to build a downtown project without making a downtown area," Greenwood said.
He said local planners had expressed some interest in the students' project, but none had seen the model.

There has been a revival of interest, during the past five years especially, in the issue of the book. Women interested in rush has increased every year. Basically, demand is much higher.

Later that year, the University also voted to invite the sorority to return, she said.
The chapter was initially founded at the University of Kansas in 1918. The sorority closed its doors in 1909.
Lydia Belot, Panhellenic adviser, said that in 1978, the Delegate Council of Panhellenic voted to invite Alpha Omicron Pi back to KU.
BETTY RODRIGUEZ, Panhellenic president, said that in 1978, 507 girls registered for rush and 341 pledged a

sorority. And in 1979, 759 registered and 343 pledged.
She said the sorority had been trying to return to the KU campus for the past five years.
Dee said the sorority closed in 1969 because of a "fairly strong anti-Greek movement, nationally," at that time
The Alpha Omicron Pi sorority closed and sold its building in 1969. The building now belongs to the Triangle fraternity.
With the addition of Alpha Omicron P1 to the KU sorority system, housing space for 70
women will be provided at no cost to the University, Dee said.
The University asked the sorority to provide competitive housing for its membership by the fall of 1981, she said.

THE NATIONAL organization will finance "a large portion of the cost," she said, "but there will have to be some local financing."
By competitive housing, it means that the quality and the price must be comparable to the other sororities and residence halls on campus. Dee added.

Dee estimated the cost of the new building at half a million dollars.
The sorority has 90 chapters nationally, but none in Kansas. Dee said. The sorority expressed a desire to establish a chapter in Kansas again. she said.

She said she did not know which residence hall they would live in.
NO HOUSING FOR prospective members will be provided this fall, she said, but "we have worked it out with the housing people in our community" and will provide a of residence hull by the fall of 1980."
"By the fall of 1831, we plan to have our members housed," Dee said. "We made a bid on some of the lots on Slima Nma Place."
Usually, sororities conduct open rush throughout the academic year. A formal rush is held every January.
Alpha Omicron *P* will conduct rush September 19 to 24. Howard said the sorority had declared a moratorium from Sep 8 to Nov. 7, and *P* will be the only sorority contact ride.
Only sophomores, juniors and seniors will be allowed to pledge the sorority this fall Freshmen will have to wait until formal rush to pledge the sorority. Dee said.
She added that they also had hired an architectural firm to evaluate the lot. She said they expected a reply in about 70 days.
