Sounds you hear are a booming KU
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE Building — $2.9-million, 8-story teaching and research building for experimental biology, human development and family life; construction to begin in the fall aiming for a summer-1968 opening.
The sound dominating the University of Kansas these days isn't the rustle of books, the scratch of pens, the lectures of teachers, the questions of students, or the Campanile bells toiling the quarter hours.
OLIVER HALL — $3-million, 10-story residence hall that will accommodate 680 students; to open in the fall.
It's the sound of hammers, drills and earth-moving equipment.
Approximately $13.6 million in construction of new facilities is underway or to be started before the end of the year on the Lawrence campus, lending support to Time magazine's recent description of KU as "full in the process of self-renewal."
FRASER HALL—$2.08-million.
7-story classroom building to house departments of human relations, psychology, and anthropology and sociology; slated for completion approximately Jan. 1.
NAISMITH HALL—Privately-financed $2.5-million residence hall to house 504 students; to open in the fall.
The projects:
SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY—The $2-million facility, a gift from the Kenneth A. and Helen F. Spencer Foundation of Kansas City, will be built on the site of the World War II surplus barracks behind Strong Hall; razing the 20-year-old makeshift classroom and office frame structures will begin mid-July.
STADIUM ADDITION — $625,-
000, 6,50-seat addition to the east
side of Memorial Stadium,
financed by charges to students for
attending football and basketball
games; to be completed by fall.

KANSAS SCHOOL OF RELIGION-$500,000 classroom-administrative building resulting from a recent statewide private fund campaign; to replace frame Myers Hall, home of the school since 1823; Myers will be razed beginning Sept. 30.
The $13.6 million total does not include a $4-million dormitory complex to be started in late summer or early fall by Jayhawk Investments Inc., Bartlesville, Okla. The complex will include four 6-story residence halls, each housing 264 students, a food service-recreation building and 2-story parking.
The firm hopes to open at least two and perhaps all of the dormitories by the fall of 1967.
Nor does the $13.6 million include construction at the Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, where a $1.8-million laboratory building is underway and a $1.5-million addition to the Children's Rehabilitation Unit and a $720,000 radiation section are to be built soon.
FINISHING TOUCHES still are being added to two facilities on the Lawrence campus completed the past semester, the $1.45-million Robinson Gymnasium and Natatorium and the $90,000 Botanical Research Center.
Frost receives award
Plans for a $4-million Humanities Building on the Lawrence campus received a boost last week when $1.03 million for the structure was allocated through Title I of the Higher Education Facilities Act. The Legislature has appropriated another $2.7 million for the building, and the University is seeking another $300,000 (for graduate research and training facilities) in federal funds for the building. A construction start is expected in summer or early fall of 1967.
The geology department has awarded the 1966-67 Shell Oil Co. Fellowship to Jack G. Frost, a graduate student from McCloud, Okla. The fellowship, open to students in geology, provides a stipend of $1800 a year with an additional sum for books, fees and supplies.
Hershey was questioned for a second day by committee members who are conducting hearings on the Selective Service System.
Draft boss for lower standards
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey yesterday advocated enlarging the manpower pool for the draft by lowering physical, educational and moral standards.
A KU sophomore from Zambia in Africa finished in a three-way tie for first place in the poetry division of the fourth annual creative writing contest of the African Scholarship Program of American Universities.
Hershey also told the House Armed Services Committee he would be willing to study the possibility of drafting men over 26 years old, something that is not done now.
On his proposal for lowering standards, Hershey noted that current ones were set by the armed services and all he could do was make recommendations. Nevertheless, he indicated he felt the relatively high criteria that now apply could be reduced without damaging the quality of the services.
In this connection, he said that he was against the suggestion by chairman L. Mendel Rivers, D.S.C., that the draft cutoff age be lowered "substantially" below 26.
Student from Zambia praised for poetry
He is Jayanti D. Patel, who is studying civil engineering. His poem is titled "The Rider."
