Building constructed near Iowa St.
KU to house State Geological Survey
Bids for a new building to house the State Geological Survey of Kansas at the University of Kansas will be asked by the State Architects Office Feb. 12, Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations, announced recently.
The building will be constructed next to the new U.S. Geological Survey building on KU's west campus, southwest of the intersection of 19th and Iowa. Estimated cost is $900,000. The 1968 Kansas Legislature appropriated $750,000 for the building, and additional funds are committed by the Kansas University Endowment Association.
The structure will include approximately 30,500 square feet and will provide laboratories and offices for approximately 70 full and part-time staff. The Geological Survey is now in inadequate
quarters in Lindley Hall, and its move will release space which is urgently needed for teaching and research.
The new building will be six floors high. Administrative offices will be on the third level. The other five levels will be devoted to staff offices and laboratories. A flat portion of the roof will be a laboratory to study weathering processes.
The plans were prepared by the Topeka firm of Thomas, Johnson & Isley, as associate architects, with Marvin Thomas as principal architect, under the supervision of State Architect William R. Hale. The design will be contemporary and will complement the existing U.S. Geological Survey building in color and texture.
Major design features include three flues on the east side of the
building, an enclosed corridor connecting the building with the U.S. Geological Survey building,
the entrance pedestrian bridge, and stair towers that project above the roof line.
Student earns Navy award
Marvin J. Pratt, Topeka sophomore in engineering, received the Navy's sixth highest award in ceremonies at the Naval Air Station in Olathe, Kansas, on January 3, 1970. Pratt earned the Distinguished Flying Cross Award while serving on active duty in the Republic of Vietnam.
Captain John R. Chappell, commanding officer of the air station
in Olathe, presented the award. The commander read a citation sent to the president by Admiral John J. Hyland, commander in chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Lt. Cmdr. Pratt entered the Navy in September 1958 and served 11 years on active duty, one of which was in Vietnam. He was released from active duty and is now affiliated with the Naval Air Reserve.
The building is constructed in keeping with the long-range plans of the University to redevelop the central campus for the academic mission, to relocate professional academic programs and extracurricular activities to the periphery of the central campus where necessary, and to develop the west campus for research and support functions.

KU ranks eighth in testing program
The American College Testing program rates KU as the eighth-ranking public institution in the nation in terms of academic excellence.
The report, "Forecasting Academic Success in Specific Colleges," was published in August, 1968 by Donald P. Hoyt. It was prepared to assist guidance counselors in helping high school students select the proper institution for their academic skills.
Comparisons of 985 colleges and universities both public and private were made. Among the public schools, the ratings were: 1-Massachusetts Institute of Technology; 2-University of California at Berkeley; 3-University of Michigan; 4-University of Pittsburgh; 5-University of Texas and Georgia Tech (tie); 6-University of Iowa; 7-State University of New York at Buffalo, and 8-KU.
