Wescoe pleases 'tenants'
Wesco Hall is the University of Kansas' newest building, but unlike most, Wesco has suffered only minor complaints from its occupants.
"We've been very well pleased with things," said Ermal Gärnal, director of the language labs that are located in Wescoe. "There have been fewer mechanical problems than some of the other buildings have had."
The language labs, which were installed in January, are "really straining" their memory.
The first six months were spent getting the buses out of the system, he said, and the team went to work in the spring.
capacity.
"Now we're educating the student and teachers on the use of the lab, and trying to get them to be good at it."
Garringer also said he was pleased with the general design of the building, which had "great teaching environments" instead of "just cubicles where students will fit." The architect, the chairman of the history department, said that Wescoe, as far as was possible, was ideal.
"I know the faculty like the hall, and are more inclined to surround when they go." Sidman said.
"We're particularly pleased that Clarke Wescoe put the humanities building right in
the middle of campus. We love to see the people milling around in front, and this adds to our enthusiasm for teaching," he said. However, there are still things that need to be done in the building. Both the walls and the corridors remain to be finished.
Approximately $15,000 is available from the University for art in Wescose Hall, Sidgman School.
James Seaver, chairman of the Wesco Hall building committee, said that furnishing the building was the immediate problem.
Prof says U.S. can't gain oil self-sufficiency by 1980
William Hambleton, director of the Kansas Geological Survey and professor of geology, will tell the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) that Project Independence will not bring about self-sufficiency by 1880.
Hambleton will speak at FEA hearings, part of the Project Independence campaign to make the United States self-sufficient by 1980. The hearings begin today and will continue until Friday in Kansas City. Hambleton will speak Friday.
Hambleton said that he would stress the role of universities in Project Independence and the role of the University of Kansas in particular.
Information gathered from these hearings, which are being held all over the country, will be compiled and studied by the President Gerald R. Ford, by Nov. 1.
"The results of the hearings" should be the guidelines for the next 20 years," said Pat Hand, public information officer of the FEA in Kangas City.
He said that he hoped the project would be effective in setting down guidelines for the future, because, "we cann't afford to drift anymore," but doubted that Project Independence would be able to bring about self-sufficiency by 1980.
"We don't have the resources now to do

this. The capital, manpower and equipment requirements for this are so great that it would be nearly impossible,” Hambleton said.
"The other resources we can develop for the future, such as solar energy and the conversion of coal to gas, are still in pilot programs at most," he said.
Hambleton said conservation measures were needed until supplies could be rebuilt.
"Nixon did a disservice when he said the energy crisis was over. We are more vulnerable right now, because we're importing more crude oil than ever before, while some of the Mideast countries are cutting back their production."
“It’s a problem, but we have the opportunity to do a lot with the unfinished areas of the building,” Seaver said. “At this time, the auditorium isn’t properly equipped with audio-video materials,” he said. “But, before we go ahead, the students will be taken care of properly. We need more audio-video people.”
Emphasis should be placed on cutting down U.S. vulnerability to foreign influence. Hambleton said, since there is no threat that Hakes can become self-sufficient by 1980.
According to Gerhardt Zuther, chairman of the English department, there has been only one common complaint about Wescoe among the people in his department.
"Some of our people the win-

Brian Freeman, chairman of the department of French and Italian, agreed that some people were dissatisfied with the results, but said that it was a pleasant place.

Patricia Wolfe, administrative assistant for CPLRL, said yesterday the survey forms were obtained from College Union Evaluation Systems, a Minnesota firm specializing in assessing problems and needs of unions.
The Memorial Corporation Board has approved expenditures not to exceed $3,000 million.

The analysis and report of the survey is expected to be returned in the first week of November, Wolfe said.
