University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, February 27, 1990 5 Union repairs near completion By Eric Gorski Kansan staff writer Phase I of a $565,000 two-phase repair to the Kansas Union roof and sides is almost complete, a Union official said yesterday. The $240,000 first phase, which will replace or repair the Union's south roof and repair masonry on the building's side south, began in Sep-1986 and should be completed by mid-March, said Jim Long, Union director. The $225,000 Phase II, which will begin in March and be completed by July, will make identical repairs to the Union's north roof and sides, he said. The Union's roof is old and weathered, Long said. Some sections of roof will be repaired while others will be replaced. Some bricks need replacement, and caulking needs to be done to the building's sides. There were a few minor leaks because of the old roof, but no major problems due to its deteriorating condition. Long said. Delaying the repair would cost the University more time and money in the long run. He said that in the past, minor repairs had been made to the Union's roof. This is the first major repair on the entire roof. Trucks from Wyatt Waterproofing Co. of Lawrence, the company making the repairs, have created an obstacle in front of the Union's southwest entrance on Jayhawk Boulevard. blocked most of the sidewalk A truck that has a crane attached to lift cement and other materials to the roof was parked in front of the building. The crane fences surrounded the truck and Long said the company was required to keep the entrance doors open and make room for pedestrian traffic. "I don't mind a whole lot," said Nguyen, who eats lunch in the Union Market. Trucks also are situated periodically near the Union's northeast end, parallel to Mississippi Street, Long said. Steve Nguyen, Wichita junior, was one of many who had to step around the truck before entering the Union yesterday. The Baumgartner Drive entrance on level two of the Union, which does not have much foot traffic, has been closed during the repair work. Long said the trucks would move to the front of the Union's east entrance when Phase II begins next month. Residence hall darkrooms will be centralized By Curtis Knapp Kansan staff writer Darkrooms will be phased out of KU residence halls after the halls use up existing darkroom supplies, a KU housing official said. The phase-out is part of a plan to consolidate hall darkrooms into one area, said Fred McElhenne, associate director of housing. The residence are not to spend any more money on supplies for their darkrooms. The location of the consolidated darkroom is unknown, but it could be at McCollum Hall, he said. The location will be determined after the housing department moves its headquarters this summer from McCol- hum to Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall. Other plans for the consolidation are undecided. "It will probably cause some problems," McElhenny said of the consolidation. "But if this is one's hobby, I like to go to going to go from Oliver to McColum." He said Templin Hall, Hashinger Hall and McCollum were the only halls with darkrooms now. Dark-Room Theater in Oliver already have been phased out. Tim Furnish, Hashinger resident, said the darkroom in his hall was unfinished. logical place to consolidate the darkrooms because it was the creative arts residence hall. "I think this is something we'll have to look into," he said. McEllenie estimated that not more than 20 people in each of the three halls used the darkrooms. He said he would be upset if the darkroom in Hashinger was phased out. Furnish said Hashinger was the "I think there is little demand at this time." he said. McElhenie said that environmental concerns were another reason for the phase-out. The chemicals used in darkrooms, some of which are toxic, cannot be washed down (it is). If we were to use safe disposal of the chemicals when the darkrooms are not consolidated, he said. PIZZA SHUTTLE HOT ON THE SPOT!
