Haworth addition nears completion
By Jill White Staff Reporter
The $12.7 million addition to Haworth Hall, the costliest campus construction project ever, will be nearly complete when fall semester classes open Monday, according to KU planning officials.
Minor work remains, but departments within the division of biological sciences, which previously were scattered about the campus, soon will occupy the eight-story additions. Gunther Schlager, division chairman
Schlager said classes would meet in the IIaworth addition this
semester despite the work that remains.
Because most biological science labs previously were located in Snow Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus, administrators and professors are looking forward to moving into the more modern building.
"We had outgrown the space in Snow Hall," said Allen Wiechert, director of facilities planning. "The facilities there were simply no longer adequate."
The addition includes specially designed labs, greenhouses, environmental and animal rooms and a
two-story walkway attaching
Haworth to Malott Hall.
"Each faculty member designed their own space," Schlager said. "They had a specific amount of space to design and worked with a floor captain, who worked directly with the architect."
Michael Gaines, director of the undergraduate biology program, said the additional lab space on the first and second floors would be used to begin biological students. The modern design also appealed to him.

NEW YORK — American Home
Foods is voluntarily recalling
the carefully cared for ice
spaghetti and noodles. In
states because of the possible
presence of metal fragments.

Jack Wood, director of public affairs for American Home Products Corp., parent company of Chef Boy-ar-dee, said yesterday that the metal fragments came from
the grinder that makes the meatballs.
Possible contamination causes spaghetti recall
"The defect was quickly corrected and was not a lethal situation or one that involved tampering with cans," Wood said. "It affected no more than 24,000 cans."
"It will be nice to be in a brand new building where it's bright and cheerful," Gaines said. "I think it makes learning easier if you're in a more positive atmosphere."
The company said it was calling back cans of the product with the code numbers AD165 EST 794 and AD175 EST 794 embossed on the bottom.
Most of the labs contain basic equipment such as water, gas, air, electrical outlets and sinks. But a few specialty labs located mainly on the fifth and sixth floors provide more sophisticated equipment for teaching and research.
Seven animal rooms contain temperature, humidity and light cycle controls. Another 12 rooms called growth chambers, or environmental rooms, have the same controls for plant and aquatic life and are located on the third, fourth and fifth floors.
cubators instead of permanent rooms, said Brower Burchill, associate vice chancellor of academic affairs, who was in charge of the overall planning and design of the new addition.
"The greenhouses they used were little more than a couple of ramshackle things," he said.
In Snow Hall, researchers used similar environmental control in in-
The new Haworth addition contains four greenhouses which can be separately controlled to have four different environments.
The walkway between Haworth and Malott is divided into two tiers — one connecting the first floor of Malot to the third floor of Haworth and the other connecting the second floor of Malot to the fourth floor of Haworth. The two-story walkway makes both buildings more accessible to researchers working on similar projects, Wiechert said.
The upper walkway will be for pedestrian use, and the lower walkway will be used only for transporting animals.
"It's necessary to keep the animals healthy for accurate experiments," Schlager said. "Animal colonies are more susceptible to diseases and need a separate walkway."
Also included in the Haworth addition is a 175-student lecture hall, with complete audio-visual equipment.
David Redfern, Springfield, Mo., sophomore, sketches the scenery behind his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. Redfern, an architecture major, said he was "trying to get back in the groove of things" on Tuesday afternoon.
