State of unions Architects show tentative plans
By Bonnie Snyder Of the Kansan staff
The Kansas Union renovation plan is taking shape.
a tentative floor plan of the second, third and fourth floors of the Union was presented Saturday to the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation's Board of Directors by the renovation architects.
"The image of walking into the campus living room is important and will not be altered," said Mike Fickel, representative from Shaughnessy, Fickel and Scott, Architects Inc., the company chosen to work on the renovation.
James Long, Union director, said he hoped work on the Union would begin in July 1986, but Fickel said no target date could be set until mid-September when a detailed master plan was completed.
The Union should remain open throughout the renovation, he said.
Student offices, to be located on the fourth floor with Union administrative offices, will have less space than is now available, and only five or six individual offices will be available for rent.
The north entrance from Jayhawk Boulevard will become the main entrance, and the south entrance
from Jayhawk Boulevard may be become an outdoor cafe, although plans for that space have not been completed.
The firm is trying to remodel the inside of the Union without adding to the building.
"Nothing has been eliminated at this time," said Long.
But the student art gallery and the But room do not have space allotted to them.
Long said that the amount of space they had planned for the art gallery, now located at the south end of the fourth floor, was not available, but that the architects were looking at

other possibilities.
Construction on the Burge Union will begin next month to expand Legal Services for Students and locate the University Placement Center on the lower level.
The first floor "should be completed by the first of the year," Long said, "then we'll look at levels two and three."
The Burge Union also will remain open during renovation.

But a common bond tied the 19 riders on Friday night — an emphatic love of motorcycles and a desire to direct that emotion towards community involvement.

The fourth annual Wheelspot Poker Run started precisely at 12.01 a.m. Saturday as the riders followed a police escort and Tom Anderson, Wheelspot member and director of facilities operations at the University, to the edge of Lawrence. From there they began a 1,200 mile trip to raise money for the Douglas County Cancer Society.

At noon yesterday, cyclists exchanged their merchandise receipts for five playing cards. The person with the best hand won. Another two rounds were played to determine winners in two other categories, solo riders and buddy (passenger) riders.
- FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Don Kralis, an Army recruiter from Lawrence, won the overall poker hand with a pair of aces and king high. He said the trip was fun but tiring.
Duane Buck, a Wheelsport member who organized the run, said the trip generated about $300 for the cancer society this year. He was joined by the $125 and $15 entry fees that were donated to the society. Buck said.
"Most of us are a little incoherent this morning," he said yesterday after riding for more than 30 hours
- LAWRENCE NATIONAL BANK
Jack Robinson, Hutchinson, won the solo category, and Janice Dvorak, Lawrence, who was the only female participant, won the buddy category.
By a Kansan reporter
Kralis received a wooden plaque, and all other participants received prizes that had been donated by area merchants.

STRANGER THAN PARADISE
A FILM BY JIM JARMUSCH
The size of the business office was expanded.
The overall volume in the Jaybowl increased by 24 percent.
"ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL, WONDERFULLY ODDBALL, INDEPENDENT AMERICAN FILMS to turn up at the New York Film Festival in years. It's as funny as it is wise...a 'Marty' that Jean-Paul Sartre might have appreciated. The film ends on a note that slides without effort, like a piece of music, from the hilarious to the funny to the haunting."
—Vincent Canby, New York Times
More than 500 students, staff and faculty participated in the 15 bowling leagues offered by the Jawbow.

After leaving Lawrence, cyclists drove through two hours of fog and rain to Atchison, the first check point.
A plan for remodeling the Burge Union was completed.
Sales of used textbooks increased by 6 percent.
Devin Palmer, 14, from Syracuse, rode his Honda 250 Rebel in the Poker Run, only one day after obtaining his driver's license.
A computer store opened in the Burge Union and now is being expanded.
7,000 more tickets were purchased for SAU films than in fiscal 1984.
Food prices were adjusted to include sales tax.
Water softeners were installed in the Kansas Union.
"I just wanted to ride for the fun of it," he said. "But it was a lot longer than I ever thought it would be."
■ More than 275,000 checks were handled by the business office.
At each of four checkpoints, riders had to obtain merchandise sales receipts to prove that they had been there. The other check points were St. Francis, Fort Larned National Historical Site and Pittsburg.
