TOWERS TUMBLE-As steel connects with stone, one of Fraser's towers crumbles minus the customary flag. The towers had recently housed offices for members of the English department's staff.

Fraser Takes a Tumble...
Fraser, KU's oldest symbol fell in early August amidst the clatter of nearly century old brick, mellowed timber and the narrow and characteristic Venetian blinds.
Since the steel ball first hit the familiar towers, men with heavy machinery have been clearing the debris.
By early fall, the 93-year-old structure will be entirely cleared away to make way for the construction of the controversial Fraser Hall.
OP ART—Stacks of building materials, hints of new Fraser, order the rubble.

NEW REPLACES OLD—Workmen unload lumber to begin construction of New Fraser Hall.
ALL STEAMED UP — Bulldozers billow smoke as they carry on the job of razing the old Fraser.
