Pending Court Action Delays Construction of Private Hall
Construction of the first privately-financed student residence hall at KU has been delayed pending court action on ownership of two lots within the proposed building site.
The case of Mrs. Linnie A. Krey of Stafford, vs. Allen Brothers and O'Hara, Inc., of Memphis, Tenn., came before District Court Judge Frank Gray in a pre-trial conference last Thursday.
Milton P. Allen, Lawrence attorney for Allen Brothers and O'Hara, said the conference established that evidence in the case would be submitted for decision and that neither side would request nor submit more evidence after the conference.
ALLEN EXPLAINED that briefs will be submitted before June 1, and that the case will be argued on June 7.
Mrs. Krey, owner of two lots in the block on the northeast corner of 19th and Naismith Drive, seeks a determination on the validity and exercise thereof of an option to purchase her properties.
Allen said the construction company had paid Mrs. Krey $500 for the right to purchase her properties within 90 days. He explained that in this time period the company paid her the remaining amount of purchase, or $39,500.
MRS. KREY CONTENDED that since she did not receive the money in Stafford, before the expiration of the option, the option was invalidated.
Allen said a counter suit, asking damages and punitive damages for breach of contract, has been filed against Mrs. Krey.
The properties owned by Mrs. Krey are the only ones that are not now owned by the construction company, Allen said. He added that the importance of the case lies in the fact that if construction cannot be started in early June, then completion for the fall of 1966 will be seriously delavled.
THE RESIDENCE HALL, as yet unnamed, will be a 504-man, 10-story high structure costing an estimated $2 million. It will feature 4-man living units instead of

THE NEWSLETTER would be published regularly and will include news of the group's activities as well as papers and letters written by members of the group. These will be mailed to members and other interested students.
the 2-man units in the other student halls.
Pocket cards are also to be printed in the fall and will be distributed by members.
Allen said the dormitory will be supervised by the University's regulations, but all the finances will be taken care of privately.
