LAST CALL FOR DINNER—Students line up in the large McCollum residence hall cafeteria for another meal. Residents are served three meals a day from the modern facilities. There are two serving lines.
McCollum
McCOLLUM and the Daisy Hill complex present an impressive sight from the aerial point of view. The newly dedicated hall is shown as seen from a private plane approximately 1500 feet in the air.
McCollum Hall, which houses 1,100 men, was dedicated last Sunday and is already experiencing growing pains as evidenced by a workman in the boiler room making certain there will be enough hot water for all the residents. A pyramid of cans in one of the windows lends a "lived-in-look" to KU's newest residence hall.
Ernie Isadore, Lombard, Ill., sophomore, is seen operating the page system to notify one of the men that he has a phone call or a visitor. Switchboard operators in McCollum find numerous problems in locating men as there are several identical names among the residents and the switchboard handles 10 to 20 calls per minute on their 26 lines. Isadore is one of 28 men in McCollum who work on the switchboard which employs three persons at all times during the day and four at night.
