Law School proposes new $1,125,000 home
An unexpected doubling of law school enrollment over the past five years has killed renovation plans for Green Hall and created proposals for a new $1,125,000 building.
Law school enrollment in the fall of 1961 was 139, but had jumped to 278 by 1965. This year's total now stands at 310, James K. Logan, dean of the School of Law, said yesterday.
"Under the University's old Ten Year Plan, Green was scheduled for renovation by 1970, which would have met the expected increase in enrollment. But the jump in 1965 took us all by surprise and we are now filled to capacity." Dean Logan said.
ON DEAN LOGAN'S list of
Because of the immediate need for new facilities, the University Council for Progress has included the new law school among its immediate fund-raising projects.
overcrowding symptoms are: continuous use of the school's three classrooms, the current use of all seminar rooms as offices, a complete lack of office space for such student organizations as the Student Bar Association, the law school newspaper, the student court and the legal assistance project, and the current shortage of over 5,000 library books in another building due to lack of space.
The committee hopes to raise $750,000 in private funds, at which
time a federal grant of $375,000 from the Higher Education Facilities fund would complete the necessary amount for the project.
"State aid will not be sought for this project because of two essential reasons. First, the University needs state money for too many other projects," Dean Logan said.
"The second reason is political. To bring the proposal to the state legislature might bring about a proposed unification of KU and Washburn University law school facilities, with the center being in Topeka," he said.
Bachelors assume dormitory helms
The quiet jazz-complimented living-room of Doug Witt was full of books, Impressionistic prints, smoking pipes and overly large ash trays. It was a perfect bachelor apartment.
Doug Witt is Ellsworth Hall's first bachelor resident director. John Howell is McCollum Hall's first bachelor resident director.
Both Witt and Howell said the new practice was adopted because suitable couples were not available.
Witt recalled, "It's awfully nice' having a woman to fix brownies and coffee for the men. Well, you know," he continued, "just a woman's presence softens." Howell's situation is different because McCollum is a co-educational hall.
HOWELL SAID "a woman's touch in a men's Residence Hall can be helpful." Citing examples like "what color corsage goes well with a date's dress, social relations, manners, and she helps tone down the men . . . just a bit . . . a note of sobriety."
Both men admitted that the job was harder for one person than a couple. Both have similar views of their work. Witt called himself an intermediary between the men and the Dean of Men. Howell referred to the guidance training of the Dean's staffers and placed most of the emphasis on that.

said, "There's a lot of routine paper work: such as a man who hasn't checked in yet," he turned the page, "a lost key and," he reviewed another note, "a summer school resident who lost a suitcase."
Although dates for beginning and completion of the proposed building cannot be set until fund goals are met, it is hoped that the new facilities can be completed in 1970, the original date for law school renovation.
HOWEVER, HOWELL stressed the late night-early morning conferences with student government leaders planning projects for the year. He very much enjoys these.
Howell said he always welcomes all the men and their questions, problems, suggestions and comments. He reiterated that it was their hall and he wanted them to enjoy it.
