Antiquated map
The map on Jayhawk Boulevard is outdated and worn. The yellow spot represents a spot which is worn off the guide. Other problems with the map are outdated names of buildings, such as Hoch Auditoria for Budig Hall, and the complete lack of buildings planned after about 1993, such as the new Alumni Center.
SUA gallery opens next to box office
The new Student Union Activities art gallery opens to the public today in the Kansas Union, next to the SUA box office.
The gallery was temporarily moved to the Union's fourth floor lobby when Commerce Bank and the KU Card Center moved into its old location earlier this year.
Catherine Weis, SUA fine arts coordinator, said the Kansas City Camera Show, the current display, had been moved to the new gallery.
Campus maps misleading
Any student is allowed to display art in the gallery.
She said the new gallery was smaller and not in students' direct path but that the quality of the art had not changed.
Two older maps are worn down remain out of date

Newcomers to the University of Kansas often have trouble finding their way around campus, and two campus maps may not help them.
The maps, which detail the location of campus buildings and streets, are worn down and lack newer additions to the campus.
One of the maps is located on Jayhawk Boulevard between Lippincott Hall and Dyche Hall, and the other is near Templin Hall.
Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, said he was unsure which department was responsible for maintaining the signs.
"It is probably just one of those things that slips through the cracks," he said.
Hutton said he contacted several University faculty members, and all of them were unsure of the age of the maps or why they had not been updated.
"We didn't know whose responsibility the maps were. But that doesn't really matter — we need to get them updated," he said.
As to the age of the maps, some clues are hidden within the sign. The maps display a proposed construction site for the Lied Center, which opened in September 1993.
Hutton said the University had planned to construct the Lied Center for many years before it opened, which led him to believe that the maps could be 20 years old or older.
"Most buildings don't change over time, but we have newer buildings and some that are planned to be built," he said. "We need to get a handle on the maps so people who come to campus won't be confused."
Rodger Oroke, facilities management director, said he would be involved in the process to
replace the signs.
"The technology that is available now will probably enable us to update them in short order." Oroke said.
He said that although Facilities Management was busy with other projects, it would begin the replacement process soon. The process will include identifying other out-of-date maps, finding the best way to produce new maps and replacing the signs.
Wilson said she also referred people to a 3-D map on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
"This is one of those issues where it's always good to have a reminder." Oroke said. "It impacts the public in finding their way across campus."
KU Ambassador Chris Wilson Emporia junior, said she never pointed out the maps when giving campus tours to prospective students.
"If they want to see where a certain building is, we give them a campus map that is updated," she said.
