The sun will continue to shine, but not on the KU greenhouse. The greenhouse will have to be torn down when construction on Wescoe Hall starts. It is occupying space that will be utilized for the cooling system of the new Wescoe Hall and other buildings.
France offers diplomatic aid to restore Laos' neutrality
PARIS (UPI)—France demanded Wednesday an end to all foreign intervention in the Laotian civil war and pledged diplomatic aid to restore the country's neutrality.
The appeal and pledge were made public by government spokesman Leo Hamon after a cabinet meeting presided over by President Georges Pompidou heard a report on the Laotian strife by Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann.
Although Hamon named no country, the French call appeared directed at both the United States, which has been backing the embattled central government of Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma, and North Vietnam, active supporters of the Pathet Lao Communist movement led by Prince Souphanouvong, the premier's half-brother.
France, former colonial power in Laos, is watching closely the political and military moves in the Asian kingdom, Hamon said. He said France demanded a settlement reactivating the 1962 Geneva agreement which ended an earlier protracted fighting there and established in Vientiane a short-lived national unity cabinet including leftist, neutralist and rightist factions.
"So far as France is concerned, any international solution must result in a return to the Geneva accords, their current application, a complete termination of foreign interference and the respect for Laotian neutrality," Hamon said.
Hamon said that France was

anxious to see Laotians restore their country's internal unity. This appeared as an indirect endorsement of Souphanouvong's offer to resume talks with Souvanna Phouma, observers said.
Hamon told newsmen, "While the French government rejects any false solution, it intends to help, when the time comes, towards a true solution. France welcomes any move that goes in this direction."

KU greenhouses to close
By JIM RYUN Kansan staff writer
Flowers, plants and foliage torgraduation, faculty offices and banquets will no longer be provided by the University of Kansas greenhouses if the present plan for their demolition is completed.
The greenhouses are tucked behind Flint Hall and located on a sloping hill surrounded by buildings. But some students have been able to find the hidden structure and frequently tour them.
Mrs. Sader said that boys most often come and would identify plants and flowers with the phrase: "my mother had one of those." She said boys also come
"Students often come to sit and relax between classes," said Mrs. Ralph Sader whose husband is florist for the University greenhouses.
Rep. John Hayes, R-Hutchinson, proposed the amendment to an otherwise minor bill cleaning language in state highway safety statutes. It was adopted on a vote of 55-31
TOPEKA (UPI) - An amendment was adopted by the Kansas House Wednesday to require only motorcycle riders under 21 to wear helmets.
The bill as a whole gained preliminary approval. If it is passed, it must be returned to the Senate for concurrence in the Hayes amendment before it goes to the governor.
House adopts amendment on helmets
for advice about what kind of flowers would look best in their apartments.
The present law requires all motorcycle riders to wear helmets as a safety measure.
"Students read in books about plant growth, but they want to see it." Ralph Sader said, "so they stop in every two or three weeks and observe."
But the greenhouse will have to be torn down when Wescoe Hall construction begins. The present greenhouse location and 30 feet deep will be utilized for large cooling units to serve several buildings including Wescoe Hall.
The new humanities building, Wescoe Hall, will not be the entire reason for demolition of the greenhouse. Keith Lawton, vicechancellor for operations, said they were being torn down because of their age and inefficiency. He said that new greenhouses would not be re-built.
"It is no longer economical to propagate flowers," Lawton said, "and we will begin to purchase them."
Lawton said the long range plans were to capsulate as many cooling units as possible to serve numerous buildings. He said that once completed they could serve Wescoe, Malott and Flint Halls and a new physical science building.
Curator of birds to dedicate hall
Robert M. Mengel, associate professor of systematics and ecology and curator of birds in the Museum of Natural History at KU will be the main speaker for the dedication of the new Life Sciences Building at the University of Louisville, April 17.
Mengel, a native of Louisville, is the author of "The Birds of Kentucky," published in 1965, which has had favorable reviews both at home and abroad.
But maybe life at the greenhouse was doomed long before Wescoe Hall was being considered.
Harold Blitch, grounds supervisor, said there had been several accidents involving the greenhouse. He said that once a Coca Cola truck driver had failed to tighten his hand brake securely while servicing the Coke machines, and the truck plowed into the greenhouse. A similar incident occurred with a janitor.
Even the students have contributed to the accidents. He said that a few students had failed to set their hand brake firmly or through some other mishap had permitted the car to roll down the hill and stop in the green-
