Labor, Play Intermixed At Work Site
By Susan Flood
Although lingering snow may make outside dice games difficult, KU construction crews are finding other ways to entertain themselves.
Those students who haven't observed the men at work while they attend classes have missed an integral part of the university.
Work they do, as the rapid progress on the library and the new Blake Hall definitely indicate. But on their break periods they are as relaxed as any of the students found lounging on the Strong basement tables.
Their friendliness extends to offering a passing student an orange from their lunch box, chasing after blowing term papers, or even assisting a struggling girl over a blocked entrance to the library.
AND THEY are probably better bait-whistlers than the Green Hall aspiring lawyers, or the beaver-aspiring male undergraduates.
They appreciate a returned greeting.
"The students here are quite friendly," a worker commented. "They usually look up to notice the building going on, and speak if they pass near us.
"THIS MAKES us feel they're interested in our work on university construction."
Another crew member told of his argument with a student over the design of the new Blake.
"We just follow the lines on the blueprint," he said. "Why don't you call up the architect and ask him to change it?"
Another story came about when old plaster and tile was sent sliding down a chute from a second story window of the library to a dump truck below.
A student stopped, observed the process a while, and said, "Too bad that isn't books they're sliding down to be dumped."
Many of the construction workers at the new Blake Hall site said they would be sorry to see the old Fraser Hall go, even though it is their job to tear down as well as to build anew.
This only proves that what seems like an unrelated element to the average student is actually a skilled and sentimental group of men, playing their vital part in the expansion of KU.
Hays Musicians To Play 'Revue'
The "Impromptwos," a music ensemble from Fort Hays State College will perform at Saturday's Rock Chalk Revue.
The Fort Hays group consists of 14 men and women, and is under the leadership of Miss Maude Moore, assistant professor of music at Fort Hays.
The ensemble's repertory ranges from songs from Broadway shows to hootenanny to standard favorites.
IN THE SUMMER of 1962 the "Imprompttwos" toured military bases in the North Atlantic for four weeks. The group presents more than 100 concerts for school and community events.
