Buildings to topple
Fy BONNIE SOLOW
Bids for razing old Robinson Gymnasium to make way for the $5.3 million Humanities Building will be filed at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 10, at the office of the state director of purchasing in Topeka.
Both old Robinson Gym and Haworth Hall will topple within the next two years to provide space for the planned Humanities complex. Robinson's razing will be completed in the middle of the first semester, while Haworth will not be felled for another $1\frac{1}{2}$ years.
Construction on the Humanities Building will progress in two phases, the first including a 14-story office section and a five-story classroom section. Phase two will also include additional office and classroom facilities.
THE KU BUILDINGS and Grounds Department will clear all usable materials from old Robinson Gymnasium within a few weeks, according to George B. Smith, vice-chancellor for institutional planning.
Though old Robinson was to have been vacated last spring with the opening of Fraser Hall, its basement was still in use until recently. Smith has found temporary quarters for KU personnel housed in Robinson.
The KU Speech Clinic formerly in the girls' locker room of the gym has moved to a house at 1336 Oread. Clinic personnel offices will be in the KU Endowment Association until the opening of the Experimental Biology and Human Development Building now under construction.
KU'S CREDIT Bureau, once located in the gym's towel room, is now in a former storage area in the Strong Hall basement. Also in the Strong basement are the drawing and painting studios formerly in the gym handball court and girls' locker room.
Classes once scheduled in the gymnasium are now located in Fraser Hall.
With construction begun on the new Printing Service Building, Flint Hall, the present home of all press facilities, will soon be available for increased classroom use.
Ceramics, drawing, and painting classes now in Strong Hall will meet in Flint at the Printing Building's completion in February, 1968. The journalism building will also house the radio and television facilities currently in Hoch Auditorium and Bailey Hall in the winter of '68.
WHILE THE plans for Robinson's razing are underway, four areas of major campus construction are proceeding normally, according to Keith Lawton, vicechancellor of construction.
The Pharmaceutical Chemistry Building is nearing the 80 per cent completion stage and is due to open in early September, Lawton says. The U.S. Geophysical Survey Building near McCollum Hall is going up on schedule and is
Dead horse draws more than flies
By MATT KUBIK
One of the most popular exhibits at the Dyche Natural History Museum is that of Comaniche, the only survivor of the battle known as Custer's Last Stand.
The horse was ridden into battle by Lt. Miles Keogh, and was found seriously injured after the battle. Comanche was nursed back to health and continued life in luxurv at Fort Riley.
When Comanche was about 29, the cavalry consulted Lewis Lind-say Dyche, expert taxidermist and professor at KU, about preparing Comanche after his death. Dyche said the cost would be $400. At that time an agreement was made that if the amount was not paid, KU would acquire the animal.
When Comanche died November 7, 1891, Dyche rushed to Fort Riley in answer to a telegram. Dyche arrived Sunday morning shortly after midnight and spent most of the next two days measuring and preparing Comanche.
THE CAVALRY never paid the $400 and consequently KU acquired the horse. It seems personnel changed at Fort Riley and the officers were no longer interested in paying for a dead horse, historical or not.
Until souvenir seekers began pulling hairs from Comanche's mane the horse was exhibited in the front hall of Dyche Museum. Museum officials felt that because of primitive methods of taxidermy used in the preparation of Comanche (particularly the use of a clay mold which cracks) a glass case with humidity and temperature controlled might be a better resting place for Comanche. Now Comanche stands in such a case on the 2nd floor of Dyche Museum.
A LARGE FILE on Comanche in the office of Dyche Museum includes three books, magazine articles, gifts of photographs—one
dated May 21, 1889—news clippings and two poems.
A good-will gift from UCLA, a piece of Comanche's hoof, is in the file. A small, old brown envelope is stapled to a card from the Quartermaster's Office, Fort Riley. The card is dated in flourished handwriting, September 29, 1891.
MOST OF the letters in the file merely request information about Comanche. But one concerned woman wrote that KU was misspelling Lt. Keogh's first name on the plaque by Comanche; the spelling was changed from Myles to Miles.
Comanche stands much as he did during his life, but now he is protected from extremes of heat, cold and moisture.

are both at earlier stages of construction, but are proceeding on schedule, says Lawton.
Small scale construction on campus includes a stenographic office facility in Blake Hall. When it is completed, a group of secretaries will have an office at Blake and receive assignments over telephones and dictaphones from administrators throughout the campus.
Staff assistants, residence directors and dormitory counselors have been selected for the next school year.

The new IBM system uses a plastic card similar to a credit card. When checking out a book, the IBM reads the plastic card along with the IBM punch card kept in the book.
From the circulation desk the message is sent by cable to an automatic key punch that produces a magnetic tape. After the library closes, the tape is taken to the computation center and is converted to a master list.
Since Watson Library has been using a computer system in checking out books, everything seems to be working properly.
John Nugent of the circulation department stated, "No large problems have arisen that we didn't expect." Most of the students and staff have adjusted to the new program. About the only problems that have shown up have been errors on the list from the computation center. These have usually been traced and corrected.

A six per cent increase in salaries for faculty members and a nine and one-half per cent increase for classified personnel were recommended by the Board, as well as a nine and two-fifths per cent increase for resident and intern doctors.
The total budget for higher education in Kansas is a record high request of $129,647,233, over $5 million less than the heads of the six state colleges and universities requested on June 26.
