$9 Million Allotted To Building Projects
By Jim Alsbrook
The KU campus is the scene of about $9 million worth of building projects in various stages of development.
The engineering building on the Bushong tract across from Lindley Hall is scheduled for completion by September, 1963. Construction has been delayed by bad weather, but footings are being poured. This $1.9 million building will house departments teaching mechanical engineering, aeronautical and space classes, electrical engineering and civil engineering. Its 93,000 square feet will include laboratories, classrooms, offices and special facilities such as wind tunnels.
the present building programs underlie the 13 year master plan recently announced by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe to cope with an expected enrollment of 21,000 by 1975.
The Nuclear Reactor Building has been completed but about 10 per cent of its interior equipment is yet to be installed. The building cost $420,000.
ABOUT EIGHT PROJECTS are now underway. They range in stages of completion from letting of bids to putting on the finishing touches.
The classroom and research addition to the Museum of Natural History (Dyche Hall) is scheduled for completion in the spring of 1963. Construction began a few weeks ago. The $712,500 wing will be six stories high and contain 35-000 square feet. Biological science will be taught there.
THE DEMOLITION of the old journalism school building will be completed by April 15, if the weather is good. Expansion of Watson Library will require its present site.
Two things will be added to Watson Library, both scheduled for completion by January, 1964. Final plans for them are being reviewed in the office of the state architect and construction bids will be sought in about 30 days. Construction will begin this spring.
The first wing, to be added to the east side of the existing library structure will have three stories, a basement and a sub-basement.
The second wing, to be attached to the southwest corner of Watson Library, will be four stories high and contain eight stack levels. This project will cost $1.8 million.
PRELIMINARY PLANS are being made for a new Blake Hall. Located on Lilac Lane between Watkins Hospital and the Chancellor's residence, the existing Blake Hall will
be torn down and another one costing $750,000 built in its place. It will contain classrooms and offices for faculty members.
Hashinger Hall, a student dormitory, is about two-thirds complete and will be ready this fall. The $1.5 million building will house 440 students and will resemble the Lewis and Templin dormitories.
CHANGES IN THE power plant are on schedule. Two new heating units have been installed, and work is being done on piping and controls.
The 60-unit addition to the Stouffer Place apartments will be ready this fall. Five two-story buildings with one and two-bedroom apartments comprise this project.
Bids are being asked for the job of increasing the electrical capacity of the power plant. Within a few months further bids will be asked on a second phase of the power plant expansion. Total improvements for the plant will cost $600,-000.
The chairman of the Russian delegation to the Model United Nations has denied that his delegation hid a microphone in a Steering Committee meeting last week.
Bids will be accepted March 15 for a 650-student residence south of Hassinger Hall. Contractors have the specifications now. Whether this new dormitory will be for men or women has not been decided.
Microphone Probe Stirs Soviet Bloc
Pat Piggott, Kansas City, Mo. senior and chairman of the Soviet bloc which contains 11 delegations, said that the Russian delegation did not plant the microphone, but added he would investigate other members of the Soviet bloc.
Slams 'Toxion Foolishness'
JACKSON, MISS. —(UPI)—The Mississippi House received a resolution yesterday calling for an end to the federal income tax. "I just hope I live long enough to see this taxation foolishness stopped," said State Rep. Tony Gibson, the measure's 81-year-old sponsor.
"We are just as curious to find out who did it as anyone else," Piggott said. "We'll investigate the group to find out for sure."
Thirst For Knowledge
FRESNO, Calif. — (UPI) — Fresno State College reported yesterday that 360 to 350 books were stolen from its library during 1961 — and the hardest hit among the books was the collection on criminology.

Learning never stops for engineers at Western Electric
There's no place at Western Electric for engineers who feel that college diplomas signify the end of their education. However, if a man can meet our quality standards and feels that he is really just beginning to learn . . . and if he is ready to launch his career where learning is an important part of the job and where graduate-level training on and off the job is encouraged - we want and need him.
At Western Electric, in addition to the normal learning-while-doing, engineers are encouraged to move ahead in their fields by several types of educational programs. Western maintains its own full-time graduate engineering training program, seven formal management courses, and a tuition refund plan for out-of-hours college study.
This learning atmosphere is just one reason why a career at Western Electric is so stimulating. Of equal importance, however, is the nature of the work we do. Our new engineers are taking part in projects that implement the whole art of modern telephony, from high-speed sound transmission and solar cells to electronic telephone offices and computer-controlled production techniques.
Should you join us now,you will be coming
to Western Electric at one of the best times in the company's history. In the management area alone, several thousand supervisory jobs are expected to open up to W.E. people within the next 10 years. And our work of building communications equipment and systems becomes increasingly challenging and important as the communications needs of our nation and the world continue to increase.
Challenging opportunities exist now at Western Electric for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and chemical engineers, as well as physical science, liberal arts, and business majors. All qualified applicants will receive careful consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color or national origin.

And be sure to arrange for a Western Electric interview when our college representatives visit your campus.
