His plans, after being approved near the end of May by David Shulenburger, associate dean of the School of Business, traveled to Strong Hall for approval of financing by the office of academic affairs.
From there, standard procedure is to submit projects to facilities planning first. However, the plans were mistakenly sent to facilities
operations, said Donald Whipple assistant director of architectural services.
After the plans were correctly delivered to facilities planning, they were banded over to architectural services, a division of facilities planning.
"We had commitments before we could get to that project," Whipple said. "It becomes a matter of listing them by priority.
After blueprints were drawn up, the plans were sent back to Shulenburger and Thomas, who didn't like the design.
Thomas wanted the box to be 20 inches wide, not 14, as the architect's design called for. Shulen burger said.

Reactor
If KU receives the grant, the entire reactor center would be used by the school of engineering for student and faculty offices, Locke said. The storage and handling of radioactive waste would be transferred to the new complex.
If KU does not receive the grant, Bearse said, the nuclear reactor center will serve as a way station for the consolidation and storage of all hazardous wastes.
Bearse said the center would not be used for long-term storage of any hazardous chemicals.
The reactor itself is still in limbo, said Rosson.
"It's still licensed as a fully operational reactor." he said.
Rosson said the University was still waiting to receive a possession-only license for the reactor. This license would allow the University to possess the inactive reactor and
would release it from stringent federal regulations placed on an active reactor.
Once plan for the nuclear reactor center are completed, the University must decided either to remove or entomb the reactor, said Rosson.
Rosson said it would cost about $400,000 to remove the massive concrete radiation shield that surrounded the reactor.

The Department of Energy has a solution to the problem of radioactive waste. You're going to eat it.
If you've always wanted your food treated with radioactive Cesium-137, your day has come. The federal government has approved food irradiation, a way of using radiation to rid food of microorganisms. This increases shelf life. And profits. It also allows the Department of Energy to sell its radiant waste. To make things worse, you have to eat it. The government will require warning labels on all irradiated food. But here's a few things that won't be on them.
The levels of radiation involved are between 5000 and 4 million RADS. By comparison, a chest X-ray gives off less
Gamma radiation produces little understood chemical compounds in food called Unique Radiolytic Products or URP's. URP's have not been fully studied. The work that has been done is not reassuring.
More than 1000 food irradiation plants will be operating in the United States by the 1990's, using pools of water to store radioactive Cesium-137. In nuclear power plants, one of the most common problems has been water leaks. Cesium-137 is highly water soluble; a small leak would cause significant contamination.
Community Mercantile is fighting to repeal the decision. We're convinced that the irradiation of food is totally unsafe. Most supermarkets will sell irradiated food without blinking an eye. We've not most supermarkets our business in, and in our integrity and commitment to public welfare, and we're not going to betray their confidence. Community Mercantile is launching a full scale campaign against food irradiation. You'll be hearing more about it soon.
