WESCOE: Snack bar to open soon
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Before that realization, the loss of Wescoe Terrace this semester leaves some students upset.
"I wish they would wait another two weeks before school shuts down," Matthew Rusto.
Butler,
Wichita junior, said. "I think a lot of people rely on coming here."
Myers said the cafeteria must shut down early to guarantee that it would be functional for the first day of class.

To minimize the inconvenience, Myers said that food services staff would open a temporary snack bar in the hallway of the first floor of Wescoe. The snack bar will serve dell sandwiches, candy and soft drinks. Also, the hot dog stand on Wescoe Beach will be adding more items to its menu.
Myers said plans were in the works for another convenience store, such as a HawkShop, within a year of finishing renovations of the current cafeteria.

CUT: Students enjoy flowers
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Lang's office is as far away from that sight as it could be. Tucked away in an almost unmarked metal building, Lang has no windows that look out to the vistas he helps create. The building itself has no elaborate flower beds and is hardly recognizable as a KU building, except for the permit signs in the parking lot.
Manpower
Inside, there are no interior gardens or plants on display. Instead, lawn mowers and equipment needing repair line the walls, and the smell is more motor oil and gasoline than fragrant roses.
Based in this building are 27 full-time employees who make their way up to main campus every day to do some sort of project: digging out weeds, spreading manure or soaking flowerbeds.
But you can't deny that this is where the magic begins.
For example, the landscaping crews planted the approximately 10,000 tulips now in bloom on campus in October.
Lang said the employees were tough and were doing something in all four seasons to help the campus look its best.
"Some people think we're only out there for three or four months," Lang said. "We don't just gear up in February. It's a year-round project."
The landscaping plan coordinates with the campus master plan, which dictates new building areas, campus improvements and planting areas.
Peggy Livingood, one of two
In historic "showcase" areas such as Strong Hall and Budig Hall, plantings should highlight the beauty and history in the area, Livinggood said.
University landscape architects, said plants were chosen for different areas.
She said it was a day-to-day process to plan the landscaping and evaluate its success.

Lang said he wasn't expecting the campus to look as good as it does. After three years of drought, turf thins and trees are lost. The only thing that grows well in dry times is weeds, Lang said. Even with those conditions, the spring-time results are impressive.
"We came out of a hard summer and a rough winter, but when you walk on campus now, it revives you," Lang said.
"On bad days with rain or snow, people come back from the campus in a glum mood," Hout said, "but on a 70-degree day when the campus is in bloom, everyone comes back with bright smiles."
That spirit is also conveyed to those who visit the campus. Jenny Hout, campus visit coordinator, said people would be amazed at how visitors reacted to the beauty of campus on a good day.
When alumni come to the campus, Hout said they recounted fond memories of the landscape.
Hout said they talked about their memories of campus landmarks such as the Campanile and also the red and yellow tulips in front of Strong Hall.
Pleasure
Tulips bloomed in a flower bed between Wescoe Hall and Anschutz Library yesterday, Tulips grow from bulbs and create new bulbs, spreading as the years go by.
here first for academic reputation, Hout said, other important factors enter in.
"You've got to feel at home and be proud of your campus, too," she said.
Although students are coming
Alison Lomas, Lawrence freshman, ate lunch yesterday on the lawn between Wescoe and Stauffer Flint Halls.
Lomas said she didn't choose the campus because of its beauty, but it was an added bonus.
"The nice landscape makes it a little more relaxing to go outside and lodge around," she said.
There is no question that the beauty of campus correlates to how students feel, said Margey Frederick, director of visitor services.
Frederick said when parents and potential students toured campus, they told student ambassadors how beautiful campus was or mentioned on their evaluations.
campus receives, it isn't ranked as one of the nation's 20 best.
In the Princeton Review 2004 "Best 351 College Rankings," the University of California-Santa Cruz took top honors followed by Elon University in Elon, N.C.
Top rankings aren't Lang's ultimate goal. He said every landscaping project was directed toward the goal of improving the campus.
He said he heard of campus's beauty growing up near Lawrence but often doesn't get the opportunity to hear it now.
Even with all the praise the
"I don't get to hear from students very much," Lang said, "but it's nice to know they like it."
Reward
Studying his plans, thinking of how to add more color to campus, his job never ends.
And just like a Kansas farmer, regardless of the environmental elements that come, he will continue to make the University bloom in beauty.

STUDENT: Improving communication main goal

weeks before the annual Big 12 conference. Dupree said having a supportive Black Student Union helped him handle the responsibility of being Big 12 president.
Guillot said the main goal of the council was to improve communication among Big 12 and non-Big 12 schools through the state caucus system, which was primarily implemented by Dupree. Through the system of representatives and liaisons, non-Big 12 schools can now be more aware of what's happening in the Big 12 Conference.
Guillot said replacing Dupree
helped ease the transition period because the two are at the same University and are friends.
"We share a lot of goals for what we want to see for KU." Guillot said. "Mark knows how to handle the responsibility and the things to avoid."
Of the last five presidents, four have been from the University, Dupree said. Trey Allen, Wichita sophomore and Big 12 delegate,

said this demonstrated the willingness of KU students to become involved in council issues and problems. Allen said the transition from Dupree to Guillot should help the council continue its goals.
"I think it was a perfect choice and a perfect fit," Allen said. "Now we have to see if we can get some business done."
