Department could lose its home
By Grant W. Butler
The department of architectural engineering could be forced out of its current offices with no place to go, the director of architectural engineering said yesterday.
Ronald Helms, the director, said, "We may be the first department administrative facility to live in a tent.
"No one has any idea where they'll move us if we have to move out of Snow Hall."
Architectural engineering moved last year into temporary offices in Snow while waiting to move into the KANU broadcast building. The department used to be in Fowler Hall.
If the renovation of Snow begins before architectural engineering can move into the broadcast building, Helms said, there are few places on campus where the department could relocate.
Metalsmithing and jewelry and the radio station are now in the broadcast building.
Before architectural engineering moves into the broadcast building, metalmithing and
jewelry rooms need to be relocated to Fowler and KANU also needs to be relocated, Helms said.
"The issue has just been side-stepped," he said. "It's my impression that we'll just have to stay here and deal with the dust and dirt."
Max Lucas, dean of Architecture and Urban Design, said the University had requested that the Board of Regents approve funds for the renovation of Fowjer.
Once the renovation of Fowler is completed and metallsmithing and jewelry is moved, Lucas said, work on the renovation of the broadcast building can begin.
Lucas said work on the part of Snow that houses architectural engineering isn't scheduled to begin for four or five years. He also said he hoped the broadcast building would be ready to be occupied by that time.
"It all depends on funding, and no one knows what's going to happen with funding in the state of Kansas," Lucas said. "I have faith that the University won't move them out of Snow."
Howard Hill, the director of KANU, said mov.
ing all of architectural engineering into the broadcast building would benefit the program. Classes are being taught in both Snow and Marvin Hall. KANU also would benefit by moving into a larger place, he said.
Hill agreed that any changes made would depend on how fast the state approved financing for the projects.
Lucas said the move into Snow was an improvement for the department.
"They moved, but it wasn't a downgrading, it was an upgrading," he said. "They had been in Fowler for six to seven years. This building was supposed to be used for jewelry and silversmithing. The spaces that art and design now occupy are in the broadcast building."
Helms said the rooms in Fowler were inadequate because they were run down, small, unprofessional and temporary.
"It was a space that was never designed for us," he said. "Because it was designed for jewelry and silversmithing, it was supposed to be temporary."
More money is needed for liability insurance

Appropriations for malpractice insurance for the University of Kansas Medical Center were over one-ball million dollars short of the amount needed for insurance premiums for fiscal year 1986.
The 1985 Legislature appropriated $402,100 for fiscal year 1986 to cover the hospital's liability insurance costs. The lowest bid for insurance for the Medical Center was $864,028
— $461,928 higher than the amount appropriated.
The amount appropriated for malpractice insurance for the medical students was $24,875, but the lowest bid was $175,000, a difference of $150,625.
Richard von Ende, executive secretary of the University, said yesterday that difference in the amount appropriated and that the
amount of the bid was because medical insurance costs had skyrocketed all over the country.
Speaking before a Senate Ways and Means Committee meeting, von Ende described the situation at the Med Center and offered a possible solution for combating the expected level of next year's insurance costs.
He said the meeting was held because the committee was trying to determine budgetary needs for this year and next year.
He said the malpractice insurance costs for the hospital had both a basic premium and a surcharge to the Health Care Stabilization Fund. He said the fund covered the costs of malpractice suits not covered by a doctor's own insurance policy.
Without the fund, von Ende said, doctors would not be able to afford malpractice insurance at all.
