Contractor's bids soon due for Nunemaker building
Bids for the Irene Nunemaker College building, one of the objectives in the Program for Progress, will be received Feb. 26, Irwin Youngberg, executive secretary of the KU Endowment Association, said Wednesday.
The structure will be made possible by a gift of $350,000 from Irene Nunemaker of New York City, a University of Kansas alumna.
The contemporary building will be constructed on the slope between Lewis resident hall and Jayhawker Towers apartment complex. The 10,000-square-foot structure will serve as an administrative center for Irene Nunemaker College, one of five Colleges-within-a-College. One of
the five present Colleges-within- a-College will be renamed for Miss Nunemaker.
The top floor of the building will have the main entrance on the west side at street level. A two-story glass wall will grace the rear of the building, which will face the southeast.
Housed on the top level will be administrative and faculty offices, a student advisory board room, an audio-visual room, a library and an apartment for visiting lecturers. A circular staircase will connect the top level with the lower level, which will contain class rooms, seminar rooms, public restrooms, a lounge and mechanical equipment.
New addition to Mallott Hall
Two stories are being added to Mallot Hall in order to provide more space for the chemistry, physics and pharmacy schools. The construction was started in November of 1969 and will be completed for the 1970 fall semester at an estimated cost of $568,420.
NO WAY-AT ALL JAYHAWKER SENIOR PICTURES
The structure, designed by the architectural firm of Kivett and Myers of Kansas City, Mo., should be in use by second semester of next year.

Mizzou favors inter-dorm visits despite warning
COLUMBIA, Mo. (UPI)—Residence hall students at the University of Missouri voted overwhelmingly to hold an "intervisitation" Friday night between men and women residents, house governors announced Wednesday night.
JAYHAWKER OFFICE
The governors of the 90 residence halls announced the results of Tuesday night's election by residents. A telephone poll late Tuesday predicted passage of the "intervistation" proposal.
The plan drew support from 62 of the houses with 20 against it. Eight other houses abstained.
The protest visits were planned by the Independent Residence Halls Association. They will be held between 7 p.m. and midnight Friday. House governors went back into session Wednesday night to set up visitation schedules.
Jack Matthews, dean of students, warned that students who take part in the activities will not be immune from disciplinary action.
Twenty campus fraternities recently drew suspension of privileges for a similar action. Hearings on that case continued on campus Wednesday.
Profs win funds for biology study
Two University of Kansas professors have been awarded grants totaling $45,493 from the U.S. Public Health Service for continuation of research career programs in the biological sciences.
They are James M. Akagi, professor of microbiology, and Paul R. Burton, associate professor of physiology and cell biology. The five-year awards cover yearly salaries, allowing the scholars to do intensive research in their fields.
Now in the fifth year of his program, Akagi is studying microorganisms which produce hydrogen sulfate that are found in environments with no oxygen. His research will focus on the enzymes of organisms.

Akagi said the study of these organisms was economically important because they could destroy certain industries. These organisms, he said, corrode steel and concrete, spoil crude oil and pollute streams.
His work is also of interest to space research since the organisms exist in environments with no oxygen.
Four graduate students who will assist Agaki are May Chan, Taipei, Taiwan, a Ph.D. candidate in microbiology; Constance Coleman, Kansas City, Mo., a Ph.D. candidate in microbiology; John Findley, Lawrence, a Ph.D. candidate in microbiology; and Carolyn Buntner, Topeka, an M.A. candidate in microbiology.
Burton, who is in the third year of his research under the career development program, is studying rickettsial organisms. He is experimenting to find out how the highly infectious organisms get into a cell and how the cell responds.
Burton said the organism was
pockyed by the United States as part of its biological arsenal. Although the organism is non- iethal, Burton said, it incapacitates by causing a high fever and severe headache.
David Paretsky, professor of microbiology, who has done pioneering research in the field, will be assisting Burton.
Nixon wants negotiations to limit arms
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon, in a stiffly worded note to Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, Wednesday called for negotiations on an agreement to limit arms shipments to both sides in the Middle East conflict.
The Presidential note was delivered to Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin at the State Department. It rejected Russian assertions that U.S. support for Israel was to blame for mounting conflict in the Middle East and made it clear Washington holds Moscow responsible for contributing to the trouble by massive arms shipments to the Arabs.
Nixon was replying to a note from Kosygin delivered Saturday in which the Soviet leader sought to blame U.S. support to Israel for the intensified Mideast turbulence.
In his reply, Nixon rejected Kosygin's charges and said restoration of the United Nations cease fire and an agreement by all major arms suppliers to limit shipments to the area were high priority items on the agenda.
