Keith Willson, Tulsa senior in architecture, puts one last touch on a cardboard model in his studio in Marvin Hall. The weekend before the last week of classes, Willson worked with about seven other architecture students in their shared studio space on a Saturday night.

Carrying on with tradition, the School of Architecture and Urban Design's stadium commencement and luncheon at the Kansas Union Ballroom will attract more than 500 people to celebrate the achievements of its school's graduates. William A. Bauersox, FAIA, will be the keynote speaker and distinguished alumnus for the school. He is an architect with Powers Bauersox Associates in St. Louis and a 1964 Bachelor of Architecture graduate.
"We choose role models for our graduates, people who are accomplished in practice and who have proven themselves through years of experience." John Gaunt, dean of the school, said.
Bauersox has received 29 awards for excellence in design for the past 26 years and was also named Outstanding Architect of the Year by the St. Louis Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He plans to give an insightful speech peppered with humor and wisdom as well as useful advice for the graduates as they enter their professional fields.
"I am sure I will benefit from his advice," Eman S. Ismaiel, honor graduate, said.
As honor graduate, Ismaiel is given the privilege of carrying the school's banner in the front of the line of graduates walking down the hill through the Campanile. Other awards include the Thayer medal, given to the student with the top studio GPA; the AIA medal, given at the bachelor's and master's levels to the students with the top GPAs and the AIA certificate, which awards the second top GPAs. These students' names have been saved for the graduation ceremony.
in coming years AIA medals and certificates will only be presented at the master's level. The school will switch to a fully graduate program in architecture beginning in Fall 2006. It will offer a broader curriculum
and base of architectural education for students.
"This has 'been an ongoing subject for many years and has been hard to do because of the long established pattern," Gaunt said. "It is not dismantling and not as much of a change as it is an enhancement."
Other modifications occurring in the school include the restructuring and demolition of facilities. Lindley Annex, a studio site that was meant to be a temporary building on campus and also a feeble WWII mess hall, will be torn down this summer. It is located south of Lindley Hall at Naismith Drive and Crescent Road.
Marvin Hall was our communal space for self-expression and creation to communicate back the knowledge we gained. It became a part of our everyday lifestyle and I will definitely miss that."

"Lindley Annex is where I had my first architecture class at KU and met my first friends," Ismael said. "It is where I was first introduced to architecture. It is definitely sad that it will be demolished. Somehow I think we took

pride in it being so ragged."
even criticized Lindley Annex, and though it will be sorely missed, I see this as a qualitative advancement for our students," Gaunt said.
Marvin Hall, located west of Budig Hall, still remains the heart of the architecture program and will continue to be a staple of the hard work of architecture students for years to come.
"Many students complained,
"This building has witnessed all of our efforts, struggles and great accomplishments during our years at KU," Ismaiel said. "The way studio promotes a sense of sharing is definitely a unique aspect of my experience at KU.
"Marvin Hall was our communal space for self-expression and
