CONSTRUCTION NOTES
Fraser is on schedule
By Joyce Grist
Overall construction of new Fraser Hall is "well on schedule and slightly ahead in some areas," Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor of operations, said.
The seven story structure is expected to be completed by the middle of next year. "The construction involves three separate contractors," he said, "electrical, mechanical and general."
THE OUTSIDE STONE work is now being put on the building and some internal work is being completed. Lawton said that the structure is expected to be enclosed sometime this summer.
Construction of the new addition to the student side of Memorial Stadium is to be completed by this fall.
When completed, the new building will house the English and foreign language departments, as well as providing additional classroom space.
"We have every intention of having the stadium addition completed for next season's first football game," Lawton said. "We have no reason to believe that the addition won't be completed by that time."
The latest addition to KU's
Master Building Plan, the $2 million Spencer Memorial Library, to be built directly north of Strong Hall, is to be started next fall. Lawton said. KU's Master Building Plan was initiated in 1957 and was revised in 1962 and again this year.
THE NEW LIBRARY will be constructed on the present site of the Strong Hall Annexes which were installed in 1946-47. They were moved to the KU campus from various military installations to take care of the World War II GI Bill enrollment. The annexes have been in constant use since that time.
Salvage work on the annexes is to begin after Commencement, Lawton said. Wrecking and clearing of the site will begin in mid-July. The site is to be completely cleared before school opens next fall, he said.
The old Robinson gymnasium building will be in use during the entire first semester next year, Lawton said. "It will be used at least until new Fraser is occupied," he said. The building will be torn down sometime next spring, to make way for the New Humanities Building.

phases, its first phase will be started late next spring. Construction of the second phase of the new Robinson Gymnasium is "definitely not in the five year plan." Lawton said. It will be started possibly at the close of the current 10 year plan, he said.
THE $2.9 MILLION Experimental Biology and Human Development Building, to be constructed on the present site of Robinson annexes and the tennis courts, will be started next fall, Lawton said. "Beginning construction on the Humanities building will place probably six or seven months after it is started."
Scheduled completion date for the Experimental Biology Building is February of 1968, Lawton said.
Haworth Hall will be torn down after completion of the Experimental Biology building to make way for the second phase of construction on the new Humanities building.

Church may penalize Spanish police for act
BARCELONA — (UPI) — The Roman Catholic Church may take steps to excommunicate policemen who clubbed a dozen Spanish priests during a protest march Wednesday, church sources indicated today.
More than 150 priests staged a precedent-shattering march to protest police brutality at recent student demonstrations for greater academic freedom. About a dozen priests were injured, none seriously, when police moved in to break up the march.
A RETALIATORY MOVE to excommunicate the police would worsen the strained relations between the Vatican and the Franco regime which rules this predominantly Catholic country.
Catholic sources explained that under church canon law anyone guilty of attacking a priest can be excommunicated, cut off from participation in the sacraments of the church.
The priests gathered at the Barcelona Cathedral Wednesday to go to police headquarters.
