Hoot'n'Hollerin'Group Performs at Battenfeld
Hootin' 'n' hollerin,' stumpin' and strumin,' volunteer KU folk singers entertained about 100 music enthusiasts last night in the parking lot of Battenfeld Hall.
The two-hour talent show was the last of a series co-sponsored by Association of Residence Halls (AURH) and KUOK. Starting at 6:30 p.m., the show ran without a set script and the program took its cue from mostly spontaneous renditions of students.
JOHN NANCE, Wichita senior and KUOK announcer, ran the show in a lively, play-it-by-ear spirit, plugging in an occasional joke here and there and introducing the performers.
The roof of Battenfeld's boiler room made an ideal stage for the performers who played a variety of instruments.
One instrument was a hillbilly "washtub bass" played by Russell May Jr., Leawood senior. The instrument, popular in the Ozarks consisted of a broom or mop handle, a wash tub and a piece of wire connected to the top of the broom handle and the middle of the tub. It was played like a string bass.
played like a string bass.
"I guess the instrument is as old as the wash tub itself." May said in an interview after the show. "I've been playing it for three months now."
ANOTHER instrument was a dulcimer, played by Dorothy May, Mission senior, which was used to serenade the ancient Egyptian kings. It is a rectangular string instrument played by plucking it with a quill.
Foreign Scientists Hear KU Chemist
Paul W, Gilles, University Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, has recently returned from Europe where he lectured at the First European Chemical Conference on High Temperature Chemistry.
Prof. Gilles also chaired one of the sessions for about 90 scientists held at the foot of the Alps in southern Germany. He spent time at the University of Munster, Germany, with a former graduate student, Karl E. Spear II of Baldwin, who is doing research under a National Science Foundation grant. Prof. Gilles and Spear were the only two United States conferees at the conference.
Prof. Gilles also presented lectures at Oxford University and at the Free University of Brussels on the new high molecular weight boron sulfides which he and his KU colleagues have discovered. He lectured on high temperature chemistry at Euratom, the atomic energy endeavor of the European Common Market countries.
Second Structure Later -
The remainder of the time was spent traveling with Spear to visit scientists at the University of Heideiberg, the University of Freiburg, and Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry at the Technische Hochschule in Karlruhe.
First Phase of New Gym Underway
Some students may have noticed a change in the campus landscape at the corner of Sunnyside Ave. and Naismith Dr. A new physical education building is being built and it should be finished by the spring semester next year, according to R. Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor of operations.
The new building will replace Robinson Gymnasium as headquarters for the physical education department. The department will move out of Robinson as soon as the new building is completed. The old gym will then be torn down to make space for another new structure, Lawton said.
SUPPORT PILINGS, foundations, and first and second floor slabs have been completed. Work has also begun on the "Natorium" or indoor swimming pool.
Offices, wrestling rooms, dance rooms, weight lifting roms, classrooms, three handball courts, and a large swimming pool are to occupy the floor space of the new physical education building. Lawton said. The swimming pool is to be T-shaped and will feature a diving area.
Lawton said that the new gymnasium is only the first phase of the total gymnasium building project. Another addition to the building is to be added in years to come.
ing is "to the state of Kansas didn't have enough money to finance the entire gymnasium project to meet enrollment needs for the 1970's," Lawton said.

Phase two of the project is to be designed so that the two structures would combine to make a homogeneous complex and both buildings are to match architecturally, Lawton said.
In speaking of the second phase Lawton said:
"We already know what changes we take place—traffic patterns, space assignments, and functionality of the plan and space interrelationships will result when the second phase is added."
LAWTON WAS NOT certain when the second phase would be built, but he said, "It is not yet clear when, in terms of chronological sequence of allocation of monies to buildings in the master plan, this second phase will be built."
There are many buildings that are planned for the future. Lawton explained, so it is not yet known when money will be available for construction of the second phase. The physical education building project is entirely state financed.
Lawton explained what faci-
tilities the second phase would provide, "The second phase will provide more gymnasiums and more play courts that are badly needed now but we cannot provide. And, of course, by that time, enrollments will have risen to the point where we will need more gymnasium rooms for teaching, intramurals, etc."
As the physical education building now being constructed expands throughout the years it will move towards the west, Lawton said.
Campus Religion Library Announces Free Return
Dean William J. Moore of the Kansas School of Religion has announced plans to hold a free book day on Friday in the School of Religion library.
Books which were due before Monday, May 17, may be returned free of charge until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, according to Dean Moore. Books which were due sometime this week will carry the usual fine upon their return.
Dean Moore cautioned book borrowers that "In the remaining days of the semester, books are to be back by May 28 at the latest and will need to be checked out day by day after Friday."
The library hours are 9-12 a.m. and 1-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Books may be checked out between the hours of 6-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday. In addition to the regular hours, Dean Moore said the library "might be open by special arrangement for finals and papers." Anyone wishing to visit the library at a time
