New Gymnasium Foundation To Rest on Concrete Pillars
Construction plans for the new gym call for it to be placed on a series of "stilts" that are based on an shale formation serving as bedrock for the footings.
Poured-in-place pilings — that's what's at the bottom of this new gymnasium.
Essentially, a hole is bored in the soil down into the shale and the concrete is poured directly into the hole and allowed to harden.
"THE SOIL there seems to be stable enough," Lawton said, "that it won't be sloughing off into the hole before it is filled with concrete." This method was chosen by the engineers on the project as the best for that area.
Keith Lawton, vice chancellor in charge of operations, explained that the concrete pillars reaching the bedrock formation are poured right in the place they will occupy.
Pilings similar to these are often driven by a large air hammer into
A large drill is brought in for the job and a single hole is bored down into the shale formation. Lawton said that the base of the hole is level and shaped somewhat like an elephant's foot.
While the concrete is still soft, steel reinforcing rods are inserted. More concrete is poured into the hole until it almost reaches the top of the reinforcing rods.
the spot where they are needed. However, Lawton explained that the soil displacement if the pilings were driven for the new gym might affect other buildings in the general area.
A SMALL batch of concrete is poured into the bottom of the hole and a man is lowered into the 34-inch shaft to tamp the fresh concrete and make sure that the base of the pillar will make smooth, even contact with the bedrock.
Then more rods are inserted, overlapping, with the original ones, and concrete is poured until it reaches

the tops of the rods again. The process is repeated as many times as necessary.
Sunnyside Ave. and Naismith Dr. were temporarily blocked, Lawton explained, while conections were being made for the new building into the utility tunnels that run underground all over campus. The tunnels house pipes delivering steam and services from the main power plant to outlying buildings.
Other construction going on at the site of the new gym include the preparation of new sidewalks on the south side of Sunnyside Ave. Part of the space previously used by the parked cars in zone M1 is being usped to handle the new pedestrian traffic problems created by the new gym.
Also, the relocation of a large storm sewer running under the intramural fields is going to be necessary, Lawton said. The storm sewer will run under the intramural fields and will cut off diagonally to meet a main storm sewer running south under the medial strip on Naismith.

Vox, UP Outline Plans In Election Platforms
KU students will decide tomorrow whether Vox Populi or University Party representatives will control the All Student Council.
Both parties hope to emerge from the ASC living group election with a clear majority on the Council. The ASC presently contains 20 Vox representatives and 19 UP representatives.
Large Men's Residence Halls: Vox — Skip Walden, Bonner Springs sophomore; Doug Walker, Bell Mead, N.J., sophomore; Bill Brier, Overlend Park senior; Bill Robinson, Great Bend sophomore; UP—Dave Lutton, Pope AFB, N.C., junior; Richard Walker, Kansas City freshman; Jon Putnam, Leawood junior; Larry Geiger, Mission junior; Russell Cummings, Topeka graduate student.
The goals and differences between the two parties are described in their platforms.
In there are many goals ASC candidates would like to accomplish for their districts that are not included in the platforms.
Almost all candidates from the married and unmarried-unorganized districts are in favor of opening Zone O to all students.
Mike Johnson, New York junior and UP candidate from the married district, wants to work for special stadium seating for married students.
Wendell Edwards, Oklahoma City Okla., senior, Vox candidate from the unmarried-unorganized district, said, "I would like to see KU better enforce minimum standards for off-campus housing, take a more active role in ending discrimination in private housing, and communicate more with students living in off-campus housing."
Jackie Thayer, Ellsworth sophomore, UP candidate from the small women's residence halls district wants to improve the parking situation of Miller, Watkins, and Sellards halls. "Watkins and Miller halls have only four, 15 minute parking places. If our dates can't find parking place, and park in Blake Hall's lot they are given tickets, but professors who accidentally park in our spaces aren't ticketed," Miss Thayer said.
The following students are the candidates of the two parties from the various districts.
