Marvin's renovation to force architectural school moves
By MARLIN BERRY Staff Reporter
Students and faculty of the School of Architecture are optimistic and looking forward to the fall semester, according to Dennis Demis, acting principal of the school will be spread out in five different University buildings.
The School of Architecture will be spread across campus because of the renovation of 70-year-old Marvin Hall, scheduled to begin in September. Domer said the school plans to move back to Marvin by September 2011.
Marvin Hall's $2.8 million renovation will include remodeling existing space, renovating the restrooms and making the building accessible to handicapped students and acceptable under state fire codes.
Under a plan devised by the School of Architecture and Facilities Operations, architecture students will be housed in spaces across campus.
The dean's office, undergraduate admissions and graduate division
will be in the Art and Design Building. Faculty for the school will move to the second floor of Carrutho-0'Leary Hall.
The Urban Planning sequence of the school will be in Blake Annex and freshmen and sophomore studios will be in Lindley Annex, Junior and senior studios will be in Robinson Gymnasium.
"Obviously one of the hardships our school will face this year is being so far apart from each other." Domer said. "Facilities has done an excellent job in planning alternative sites for us, and we're optimistic that everything will work out fine this year." he said.
Students in Robinson will face the biggest hardship according to Domer. The gym will be divided into 180 separate studios with some students having to double up in studios.
"We're very pleased to be in Robinson, however it won't be very nice," she said. "There's no air conditioning and the ventilation is poor in there. By the
time 180 students and professors get in the gym, it's going to be awful hot," he said.
Robinson will have to be open 24 hours a day for studio use. According to Downer, security will be on hold during the early morning hours.
"Studio work is very important in our school," he said. "Our students learn a great deal from one on one with teachers, club members in their studio work."
Domer said he does not think the temporary evacuation of Marvin will affect the architecture program at KU.
"It's actually hard to measure what effect it will have on our program," he said. "But the important thing is that we're prepared for this move and I think we'll survive it just as long as we can do significant learning going on in our school this year and we're very optimistic," he said.
"Being spread out across the campus may just draw us all together," Domer said.
A temporary policy altering the seniority system of football ticket distribution will be used this year in an attempt to increase sales.
By ERNIE DAVIS Staff Reporter
The changes this fall are the result of the student season ticket sales to the spring.
Nancy Welsh, athletic ticket office manager, said seniors could purchase tickets during enrolment at a table in southwest corner of Allen Field House.
Football ticket changes planned
Although seniors enter the field house on a letter schedule, enough tickets are available that seniors wishing to sit in must be admitted as a trouble getting good seats, Welsh said.
Other students can pay for their tickets at the table, she said, but they will not receive preferred seating when the tickets are distributed next week.
The usual schedule of seniority has been dropped this fall because more students sit in groups than by class, she said. Students would make it easier for groups to buy tickets.
SENIORS CAN PURCHASE Tickets through next Tuesday, Welsh said, and all other students can purchase them starting next Wednesday.
Student season tickets cost $19 this year, down from $23 last year. The price decreased because a surcharge to pay for additional student seating on
the east side of Memorial Stadium is no longer used, the seats were added to the stadium in 1983.
The lower price should help sales
of the product. Schnacke,

Bob Marcum, director of athletics at the University of Kansas, said it would be "tremendous if we reach more than 10,000."
HE SAID HE was not only interested in getting more money, but also in getting more spirit behind the team when it blazes at home.
A promotional campaign is being conducted this fall to help sales.
Marcum said this was the first time the athletic department had put together a special promotion aimed at students.
John Novtoy, assistant athletic director, said students were an important part of the atmosphere in the band along with the band and the cheerleaders.
"In the past," he said, "we missed the boat by not getting involved with the student leadership" and asking for more students to get more students into the stadium.

Schnacke said the lack of promotions in the past made him "wonder if they are relying on students to sell tickets."
THIS FALLS' CAMPAIGN includes sending students and athletes to a state championship.
fraternities and sororites to talk to students, Sue Hale, Prairie Village junior and a member of the group working on the sales change, said.
Novotny said the visits would be a chance for students to get to know the athletes and ask questions they otherwise might not ask. He said the athletes would also learn more about the other students.
"It is just good public relations," he said.
His main concern is that non-revenue sports are not hurt, he said.
Moving ticket sales to the spring should generate more money, Schainck said, because tickets would be lower than the summer and the spring, instead of just in the fall.
"Spring sales would eliminate "big long lines," Heley said, because students would pick up their tickets during enrollment.
"It is going to be better with spring sales," she said.
THE SENIORITY SYSTEM will be changed again with spring sales.
In addition to using class rank, Schnacke said the date of purchase of the product may be used as a basis for class rank.
Heley said seniority would be determined by the number of years a student had attended KU and the hours of credit accumulated.
Welsh said class would be determined from the student's identification card.
