What it was like to live in McCollum Hall

McCollum Hall on Daisy Hill will be razed at around 9 a.m. on Wednesday after 50 years of housing University students.
The designated viewing area for the demolition is behind Oliver Hall. Once McCollum is gone, the space will be used for additional parking.
According to the KU Alumni Association, "Iowa Street will be closed from 15th to 21st Streets and westbound 19th Street will be closed from Naismith Drive to Constant Avenue on West Campus. The intersection at 15th Street and Engel Road — the northern access point to Daisy Hill — will also close, barricades will restrict
access around West Campus, and the Irving Hill bridge will be closed. Officials anticipate that all road closures will be removed by 10 a.m."
Some students shared their favorite memories of McCollum Hall:
What did you think when you visited McCollum for the first time?
"I went there to visit my friend, and it reminded me of 'Saw' film," said Traver Ricke, a sophomore from Olathe majoring in Russian literature.
What is the most memorable thing that happened in McColum?
"The view on the 10th floor. I've lived on the ninth floor and 10th floor. I would say that McCollum
had one of the best views, if not the best view on the entire campus. I loved being able to walk out of my room, into the hall, into the area where everyone liked to hang out and see these big windows and see all the seasons happening," said Briana Miaya Curry, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., majoring in visual arts.
"It wasn't so much inside of McCollum, but my roommate and I lived in Ellsworth and he would smoke hookah pretty much every day. And most of the time, he would take it over to the benches right in front of McCollum. We set up the hookah, smoke there, and we made so many friends. I think even one time he brought

name tags and everyone put on their name tag," said David Weller, a senior from Dodge City majoring in linguistics and Spanish.
What is your favorite thing about McCollum?
"That it's going to get blown up into pieces," said Kaeli "Peg" Wealf, a senior from Manhattan majoring in economics.

Early last week, five University students came together to form TEAM Jayhawks, a group focused on addressing campus issues through collaboration. This group formed because they saw hostility on campus about the way Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk went about their demands.
Brylan Donaldson, a junior from Wichita and member of TEAM Jayhawks, said the group wants to understand people's point of view from a place of empathy and then solve problems through design thinking. Design thinking is a way to address problems and find solutions through collaboration, he said.
Donaldson then met with Musa Mutazammil, a sophomore from Wichita; Kwasi Porter-Hill, a junior from Los Angeles; Chancellor Adams, a sophomore from Kansas City and vice president of the Black Student Union; and Landon Munsch, a sophomore from Hays. The group talked about the demands.
"At the core of design thinking is empathy, collaboration, ideas, and action," reads a statement from TEAM Jayhawk. "These elements give people a unique set of analytical and creative tools, and the processes necessary, to find the right solution."
"We agree with their demands and stuff, that's cool, but, like, the methods of trying to get that changed through hasty rhetoric and all that, that's not the way to go because you're not really sympathizing with the people in mind," Donaldson said. "Also
Donaldson said he spoke with people on campus about the ongoing issues of race, diversity and inclusion. He said some people told him they could not sympathize with the 15 demands from Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk.
"People really could not see where [Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk] were coming from or like their methods going about getting change," Donaldson said.
when you demand something, there's natural walls that people have a tendency to just put up"
"There is a different way to approach racism on campus and educate people and make people feel comfortable about talking about race," Adams said. "We all just got together and just started brainstorming on that and now we are trying to make this movement."
Adams said the group discussed alternate ways of discussing race on campus.
TEAM layhawks wants to teach people about design thinking and how to implement it. They're doing so by reaching out to campus organizations and different schools at the University. Donaldson said they want every campus group to be involved, and that
That's where the approach for design thinking comes into play. Donaldson said design thinking can be used to bring change in a way people may not have thought of before.
Mutazamml said the mission of TEAM Jayhawks is to have everyone come together. The acronym TEAM stands for "together everyone achieves more." They aren't picking sides, Mutazamml said.
said. "So getting the students help with this, to make the decisions themselves in a sense will bring satisfaction."
"I believe every generation has a voice, a chance to stand up and say, 'Hey, there's problems going on in our world. What can we do to change them?' Porter-Hill said. "I believe TEAM Jayhawks is that change."
they hope to have a team of University students start to form by the end of Thanksgiving break.
Once a team is formed, TEAM Jayhawks will begin the design-thinking process. The first topic the group wants to focus on is race, Adams said.
TEAM Jayhawks wants to form a diverse team to address these issues. Mutazammal said the more diverse, the better.
"We brainstorm and map people's journeys in a fun way, in a fun environment, and we come up with solutions," Donaldson said. "What we're searching for is not the perfect solution, but the right solution for the right need and problem. And then from there, that's when we would go to legislature, such as Student Senate or the Chancellor."
"The beauty of this University and KU is that we all come from different backgrounds, different parts of the world, and let's try to understand that, understand each other so we can create solutions," Donaldson said.
Donaldson said the discussion starts with students because everything at the University was created for students. Porter-Hill said student involvement is crucial.
"People are satisfied with the solutions that they themselves make, so I believe that that in itself is very important." Porter-Hill
