Festival
From nave one
museum, Stotts knelt down to show a grade- schooler a rusty piece of steel.
"It's an ox shoe," he said, rubbing the shoe's jagged edges between his fingers. "The old ox could stand the hot and the cold, the wet and the dry, but he still had to have shoes."
And on a cabinet three feet away, a stone mason's crandle, probably the same tool that smoothed the sharp edges of limestone used in the museum's walls, sat collecting dust.
The aging, 124-year-old museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But more important, Stotts said, the three-story building was the first university structure built in Kansas, the place where Baker first "lit the torch of learning."
university established a grove of trees called Boyd Arboretum, just 500 feet north of Old Castle in the middle of the Baker campus.
Despite Boyd's death, Baldwin residents continue to plant, the maples continue to change and the festival continues to prosper.
As he walked into the post office, Stotts put his hand on a glass case displaying a dozen stones. The stones, some owy, some quartz, some iron-agners in agate Bakers' junior high school, he said.
"The kids like them, and I like to look at them," Stotts said, "so I stick them in there." A note, written in ink, sat below the largest rock. It said: Baldwin "Junior" Rock Hound Collection 9-9-81 (More to come)
"Yes, more to come." Stotts said. "More rocks, more kids, more maples. There will always be more to come."
Pregnant rare scorpion captured in Lippincott
A scorpion, one of those evil-looking creatures that has pincers and a place among the stars, was found Friday in Lippincott Hall by workers renovating the building.
Peter Albrecht, a maintenance carpenter in facilities operations, said that with the aid of a carpet knife, he captured the scorpion in a corner of one of Lippincott's rooms.
A fellow worker, thinking the scorpion was a cockroach, had flipped the scorpion from a window blind onto the floor, where Albrecht cornered and captured it. he said.
Albrecht later took the inch-long creature to Robert Beer, KU professor of entomology, who confirmed that it was a scorpion. He also said the scorpion was pregnant.
Beer said that two species of scorpion survive
in this area and that the scorpion found Friday belonged to the rarer of the two groups.
"Neither of them is dangerous," he said. He described the sting of a Kansas scorpion as similar to that of a bee sting.
The pregnant scorpion, if it survives, will have up to 20 offspring. Bee said.
But Beer said Friday that the scorpion's prognosis was not good, because it might have died.
"The beast is now in a recovery room," he said. "I doubt if it will survive."
This is only the second time a scorpion has been found in a campus building and brought to campus.
The other time was four or five years ago, when one was found in Bailey Hall, he said.
Students looking for a more complete view of campus than the one from atop Mount Oread might do well to stop off at the Kansas Union and ponder the model campus on level four.
Campus model in need of revisions
That model provides an overview of the campus, including the buildings, trees, hills and other features.
However, the campus in the glass case that many generations of KU students have examinated years without being updated, Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Union, said recently.
THE CONTINUAL process of remodeling and building on campus during that time has begun to date the model, a problem that can be costly to remedy. Ferguson said.
"We looked at the possibility of updating it last year, but it was just too expensive for the value received at that time." Ferguson said. "Sooner or later we'll have to, though."
The model was a gift of the class of 62 and was installed the following year at the cost of $804 new, he said. Since that time, the model has been sold at $750, which cost more than the original purchase price.
Ferguson said that the first update came in February 1990 and cost $800, with the second update in January 2006.
THE MOST RECENT update, which was also the most expensive, came in August 1976 and cost $1,135, nearly twice the original cost of the model, he said.
During those years, campus scenery has changed a lot; way more perhaps most notes are not there.
Another reason for the delay in updating the model was that transporting the model to Kansas City, Mo., was difficult and risky, as well as expensive. Ferguson said.
And though the model has kept up with the real campus in the case of the addition of Wescoe, it has fallen behind the addition of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, the addition of West Campus and most recently, the construction of the K.S. "Boots" Adams Alumni Center
Although the model of campus in the Kansas University is slightly out of date, Buddy Manggen/KANSAH a guide for newcomers and visitors to KU.
