The statue of the Jayhawk and its new nest in front of Strong Hall draw mixed reactions from the people who pass by it. Some say it's a bit but everyone apparently tolerates it.
The 1,000-pound bronze sculpture, donated to the University of Kansas by the Class of 1856, was moved last week to the Museum from the tunnel behind the Kansas University.
Twenty-five persons were asked their reactions this week to the dark green-grey sculpture and its home as they walked by on Jayhawk Boulevard.

Exigency...
no one was affected by the plan for fractional appointments would be forced into taking part in a scheme to which he hadn't agreed. The wording was changed, however, to delete "unanimously" and insert "all affected faculty members."
The two code changes passed by the Senate make is possible for the University Council to take binding action without the Senate, which often lacks a quorum.
The code had stated that if no action were taken on an issue at a designated meeting of the Senate, action of the University Council would become effective on that date. The code was amended to include the provision that if a Senate meeting could not be held at a meeting of the Senate, the absence of a quorum, the action of the council would become effective at that time.
The second code change says that if the absence of a quorum at a Senate meeting disables it from taking action on any proposed code changes, the proposed code will be approved by the council will become effective as approved by the council on that date.
'Hawk called magpie, target for purple paint
Most of those surveyed said they liked the Jayhawk's new location.
"I think it nice here, because Strong is such an ugly building," said Nanci Bogard, Wichita freshman. "It adds something to a building so big."
Debbie Winetroub, Leavenworth junior,
disagreed.
"I don't like it there." she said. "It's bound to be abused. I liked it where it was."
Rick Frederick, Merriamrien said, "It's great there. It's given Building and Grounds something to do this spring. But it's not what it was, especially for the KU-KState games."
Diane Levy, 216 Harvard, an employee in Strong, said, "It's a good direction marker for people to find Strong. But I don't like that kind of Jawkward."
Many of those surveyed said they also didn't like that kind of Jayhawk. The statue was called 'a prehistoric bird by something and a dog' because it looked like the butt of the KU Jayhawk, several said.
"It's ugly," Max Fridler, Alexander sophomore, said. "It reminds me of a perodactyl, fierce and repellant. It doesn't have any redeeming value."
Greg Glass, Boston graduate student.
said, "I try to avoid looking at it. It looks like Heckel or Jockel."
Debbie Stewart, Lawrence junior, said,
"You get to know a different species of dwarf

Whatever the bird resembles, it's likely to remain in full view of pedestrians and motorists on Jawhayk Boulevard for a long time to come. That fact doesn't bother most of those questioned, but some offered alternative locations.
"Why not put it in the new art building, or put it in Spencer Library with all the other items?"
Glass said, "Let's take it to K2State."
Arlys Reveland, Wanamingo, Minn., sophomore, who said she had been surprised to see it in front of Strong, said the team would be moved back to the tunnel.
Thirteen of the 25 people said they had been aware of the Jayhawk's location before its transfer. Some said they had known of the statue, but had never seen it. Others said they had never known that the University had had such a statue.
Now most everyone knows. Now they can praise it, curse it or call it names. But most seem to have accepted the big bronze bird, whether they like it or not.
