Summer Session Kansan
Renovation of Marvin discussed; Temporary quarters being sought

Plans for a $2.55 million renovation of Marvin Hall are being formulated and the School of Architecture and Urban Design may have to find a temporary home when construction begins, Charles Kahn, the school's dean, said recently.
Kahn said that if the school had to leave Marvin Hall during renovation, he would rather have the department in one accemnt. That would not everything split up through the commons.
He said options on what to do with the department during the renovation were moving to one location off campus, being moved to another campus or possibly remaining in Marvin Hall.
He said the department might be able to stay in the building during renovation.
"Obviously, there are ways of renovating without removing the school."
But, he said, the contractor might not
agree to letting the school stay in the city because of safety and insurance problems.
ALTHOUGH KAIN said he was not sure whether the school would move out during renovation, the Marvin Hall library not only has a large collection to be educated somewhere else on campus.
"There is no provision for a library in the Marvin renovation," he said.

Kahn said no definite decision had been made about where the library would move, but that one possible location would be the new satellite union.
"There's no way you could shooron anything in. I don't know where it would
But Pat Wolfe, satellite unit building supervisor, said there was no space in the building.
Jim Ratz, dean of libraries, said no decision had been made about the library's
new location and would probably not be made for another couple months. The library might be split up if one location for the entire collection cannot be found.
PLANS FOR THE remainder of the renovation project still are being decided and discussed, Kahn said. Design Build Architects, 704 Massachusetts St., began work on the project at the beginning of the summer.
Kahn said he hoped the plans would be
kinned and bids accepted on the job by late
next spring. On this schedule, construction
starts in summer and finish in
finished in late summer, 1981.
He said the first priority in renovating the building would be improving its acce-
"It's the most inaccessible building on campus."

OTHER PROBLEMS in the building include leaking walls and roof, deteriorating finish and no insulation in the roof which, on hot days, caused heat problems on the third floor.
"It gets hotter than 100 degrees on the top floor."
Kahn said the lack of insulation also caused problems in the winter.
"Obviously, the heat loss in the winter is significant."
He said that he hoped the renovation would provide more space for the school and that he wanted to "squeeze extra space" out of the building.
Kahn said that even after the renovation, the school planned to continue using Lindley Annex even though it was not air conditioned and "leaks like a sieve."
"We can't survive without more space."
He said the renovation would have to be contained within the existing structure of Marvin Hall, although a "utility tower" might have to be built onto the building.
He said the utility tower would possibly contain stairs, elevators and utilities.
--even bad some tentative jobs lined up."
"WE REQUESTED two specific families who are friends of a family in the United States," said Ruder. "They were sponsored by a group in Salina. Knowing people in the United States should expedite the process for those, but it has not. Exactly why, we don't know."
Another problem, he said, was that although the United States has set higher levels for accepting refugees, no money is being given to help them in the camps and sent to the United States.

So far, he said, the committee has agreed to help two families now in an Indonesian refugee camp. However, the committee is having difficulty getting them to the United States because of overworked camp staffs.

"IT'S KIND OF irritating when Carter makes a statement about letting more in when they don't have enough money and personnel to process that many," he said. "They have sponsors for more people than they are letting out now."

"We have been in contact with Sen. Bob Dole's office. We were going to start pushing the Kansas representatives to get involved and use whatpower they might have to expedite the movement of these refuges," he said.
The committee also got in touch with Gov. John Carlin's office to see what influence he might have on the U.S. state department.
THE COMMITTEE IS involved with the state department in negotiating the release of two more Vietnamese families, both of which are still in Vietnam.

Ruder said his contacts at Catholic Social Services recommended putting pressure on Kansas officials to get things moving.
"We are negotiating to get two other families out of Ho Chi Minh City," Rudas said.
"We're working through Catholic Social Services in Kansas City in getting touch with our clients."

"They would come directly from Vietnam to us instead of through camps in Italy."
The committee, working in conjunction with local and national church organizations, works to give displaced Indochinese families new homes in Kansas, according to Ken Ruder, chairman of the committee.
The committee, which was formed in 1975 during the fall of South Vietnam, has brought over five families to Lawrence in the past four years. Ruder said yesterday, and is now trying to resettle some of the refuezies still in camps in Indochina.
Because the United States does not

maintain official relations with Vietnam, requests must be sent from the U.S. embassy in Bangkok, Thailand to the French Embassy in Paris, France, to contact the Vietnamese, Ruder said.
MOST RESETTLED families require initial assistance in finding homes and jobs, said Ruder, and the committee, or sponsor may be, usually provides this.
"The committee would go and rent out a house initially, try to find a job for those involved, and subsidize their paycheck until they could get along."
Many of the earlier refugees in 1975 did not require this much assistance because they had held jobs under Americans in Vietnam, and were familiar not only with speaking English, but with American customs as well.
VINH DUC CHIEU, the first Vietnamese to be resettled by the committee, said he had worked as a translator and interpreter in Vietnam. He is now embassy personnel (just before Saulion tell).
Unlike the refugees today, Chieu said he and his family were flown directly to a refugee center at Camp Pendleton in California. From there he was put in contact with the Lawrence refugee team, who had been working within ten days of his arrival in Lawrence, Chieu was working in the physical education department at KU.
Ruder said the refugees today had no experience with Americans and many of them had occupations, such as fishermen, but he would be put to use easily in the United States.

She would not identify the student or the driver of the van.
"The raised root was scrumched up and the body damaged when it didn't make it work."
The van is the only special vehicle the University owns that is equipped for the habitat.
Sarah Starnes, director of the Upward Bound program, said one student was injured in the accident, treated at Watkins Hospital and released.
UPWARD BOUND, funded by the U.S. Office of Education, is a program that tries to prepare low-income high school students for post-secondary education through classes and living experiences on college campuses.
Because handicapped students will have daily transportation this fall, the University plans to purchase a second van. The new van will be used to field trips and other special activities.

The roof of the van is higher than one on a regular van, to make access for hands-on activities.
The van was damaged in a July 7 accident at a Kansas City, MO., shopping center while transporting students in the Lawrence Uowward Bound program, Alaire said.

William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said the University would provide $2,000 for the transportation program and would pay for the special van's fuel. The University Student Senate will contribute $10,000 to have a driver and pay other expenses.
ROBERT TURKEY, assistant director of the student Assistance Center, said disabled students can take part in the student activity fee for the KU on Wheels buses, although many cannot use the program. According to federal guidelines, students with disabilities or disabled students because they pay the fee.
The KU Student Assistance Center is drawing up guidelines on who is eligible to ride.
"The disabled students still pay the same bus fare," Turvey said. "One-way rides are 25 cents, and semester passes may be purchased from the Student Senate."
The bus will make 20 trips a day. At first it will not have the same route, but one will be able to take the bus more frequently.
