Union remodeling increases use
A major life-face of the Kansas Union during the last year has enhanced the Union's popularity, according to Frank Burge, Union director, and Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Union in charge of finances.
The face-life has included remodeling the Union's main lobby, removing its center staircase and renovating some of its food service areas.
"We have had considerably more people in the building this fall than ever before." Foster
He said the increased use of the Union was exemplified by the increased sales volume in food service areas. For example, the September sales volume in the Hawk's Nest and the Prairie Room, two recently built buildings, increased significantly higher than it was last year, he said.
THIS INCREASE is due only in part to the remodeling, he said. The intention of beer sales in the Union, started in Nov. 1975, and large crowds at football games this fall also have contributed to the increase in the sales volume.
Stretch of K-10 opened; completion set for late '77
Travelers on Kansas 10 highway will need plenty of patience during the holiday season because construction on 11.4 miles of the highway won't be finished until next year.
However, a stretch of road west from the junction of K-10 and Kansas 7 to a mile south of DeSoto is completed and was opened today.
Joe McCourt, Highway Commission civil engineer, said Friday that because of cold weather the surfacing of the 11.4 mile section won't start until spring 1977. Completion of the highway isn't expected until late next year, he said.
"I don't anticipate any problems with traffic during the holidays because people are used to the construction, and the sharp turn that happens there since this summer," McCourt said.
The curve has 15-mile-an-hour signs posted. There have been a few minor accidents on the curve, McCourt said, but they are not severe and no other people are used to the curve and obey the signs.
One of the uncompleted sections on K-10 is
Bob Sleese, public information director for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said grading on this section was 95 per cent complete. Five bridges are in 70 per cent complete and work on sixth officers is well under way, Slease said.
a 7.3 mile stretch that starts two and a half miles north of the Johnson and Douglas county line.
Surfacing costs for this 7.3 mile section are estimated at $7 million.
On the 4.1 mile stretch from the Johnson-Douglas County line to one mile west of DeSoto, the grading is $5 per cent complete, and four of the six bridges are complete, each with a surface area of $3 per cent complete. The surfacing cost for this section is estimated at $1.9 million.
Cost of the entire 11.4 miles, for grading and 18 bridges, is $11.9 million.
Cost of the section that opened today is $20.8 million. The cost includes grading, 17 bridges, surfacing and roadside improvement, Slease said.
New placement office little but busy with job market
The University Placement Office;
situated in the Kansas Union, is a cubbyhole compared with the Union lobby surrounding it, and it serves as a communication center for eight specialized placement offices on campus.
"Wetry to find out what's going on in each placement office and then tell them what the other offices are doing." Vernon is faculty placement director, said vesteday.
Geisler said that because his office was new, his job and those of his staff still weren't clearly defined. His staff is complying with the new assistant and three student assistants.
The placement offices in the department of chemistry, the schools of architecture, business, engineering, journalism, law and education, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have been working with university Placement since it opened July 1.
"We're trying to work together as a team to determine solutions to problems that involve people who have different experiences."
recruiters and informing students about the interviews," he said.
The office schedules special programs concerning such things as internships and meets with faculty members to tell them about job markets in their fields.
The University Theatre Box Office has a new policy making it easier for students to obtain unclaimed tickets for performances in Inge Theatre.
Students can now pick up unpurchased public tickets without charge any time after the box office opens on the day of the performance.
Policy loosens for Inge tickets
In the past, if all student tickets for a performance were sold, students had to wait until 15 minutes before a production begins to get unused public tickets.
Burge said there also had been more reservations made by different groups in the country.
"We had 56 functions on Friday," he said.
That's up from an average of about 40 or 45
functions a week.

"The sales volume from the Information Counter in September was up 6 per cent over last year, but after most of the lobby had been remodeled, we expect October's increase to be even greater."
Obolinger Smith had ignored neighborhood opposition to the loop, according to Willits. The impact statement says that "all of these (neighborhood) groups have concretely expressed their support for the project and commitment to seeing it accomplished."
Yarn Specials
Williams said she didn't know how the East Lawrence Citizens for Housing Preservation had arrived at the estimate of 27 residents. The impact statement's estimate of 18.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL impact statement says the loop "will necessitate the dislocation of 18 residences and five houses." The correct figure was actually 27 houses.

An Oblinger Smith employee who helped write the impact statement, Martin Leitner, Kansas City, Mo., said yesterday that he was running through the loop at the time he prepared the statement.
IN SEPTEMBER 1974, the ELIA rejected one version of the loop proposal before changing its mind and, again supporting the loop two months later. Leitner said he didn't remember this disagreement among ELIA members.
Leitner said he had reviewed all the minutes of past ELIA meetings and had talked with city officials in assessing East Jerusalem's situation, according to Leitner. All of this opinion was recorded to Leitner.
"No one ever told me how to write the statement," Leitner said, "but it would be hidious for me to say I didn't know that the city already favored the loop."
Letterer said the decision to build the town was the city's, not the Oblinger Smith's, and the environmental impact statement was intended to create citizen responses to the engaged.
"All of the comments and criticisms are very much a part of the process," he said. Letner said he hoped the city would take the feelings of groups such as ELIA into account in deciding whether it still wants to build the loop.
