Students take advantage of added space - hence added architectural equipment - in Marvin Marvin? new, modern staircases give Hall. students more room to maneuver. . 'ftivfbwi .. K ,,, . N at W . john Clark Renovation Preserves Tradition n the 1981-82 school year, the University of Kansas found itself in the middle of perhaps its most ambitious period of building renovation. Skyrocketing interest rates, a lackluster economy, and increased building costs have changed the University's philosophy on what to do with buildings that are falling behind the times. In the past, the most reasonable course of action has been to tear down and build anew. This lead to the creation of Summerfield and Wescoe halls, Robinson Gymnasium and Haworth. The desire to save money and to preserve the limestone, red-roofed tradition - an integral part of one of the nation's most beautiful campuses - has lead to extensive building renovations. While the older buildings on campus are sound structures, they cannot meet the demand for modern laboratories, classrooms, and offices. The renovations currently taking place should alleviate these problems as well as bring the buildings in line with modern building and safety codes. Money for the projects comes primarily from state appropriations. Two other sources are private gifts and foundation gifts. Lindley Hall has been vacated by the Kansas Geological Survey and the engineering department. Central air conditioning, larger classrooms, and modern laboratories are being built in the spaces that these departments once occupied. Flint Hall is also undergoing partial renovation. S949,000 are being spent on this 84-year-old building in order to upgrade facilities. Three buildings on campus are undergoing major changes. Spooner Hall, having stood 88 years as the oldest building on campus, is currently undergoing a S2 million renovation that includes a new roof and windows. 52.8 million are being spent on Marvin Hall in order to bring the building into compliance with the needs of the School of Architecture. Watson, the main library, has a new entrance and elevator, and the facilities are being rearranged to streamline the library's operations - all at a cost of 56.2 million. For many students, in addition to the difficulties of finding relocated classrooms and professors' offices, the sounds of jackhammers, electric drills, and foremen's voices were a common occurrence in the classroom this year. Most students believe, however, that these minor annoyances will be justified by the benefits gained from increased working space, modern laboratories, and a more comfortable studying environment.

Ns. The young lady at the right looks as though she just had a good time at the Hawk. Below, a trio is ready to start on a new pitcher of ' beer. Jeff Schotlancl I-lavvk's Traditions Attract S tudents have been walking down the hill from Ja hawk Boulevard to 14th and Ohio since the Jayhawk Cafe opened 62 years ago. As the matchbook says, The Hawk: a campus tradition since 1920.' Until prohibition ended in 1933, the Jayhawk Cafe was just a cafe, but the repeal of the 18th Amendment brought a new tradition to the cafe . . . beer. And beer continues to be a tradition. Specials at the bar make the tradition easier to come by in one way and harder in another. Hur Miller Night, Pitcher Night, Fri ht Night, and the new Thursday nigimt Drinkathon lower the price of beer, but the crowds at the Hawk make it harder to get a bartender's attention in order to get a beer. In fact, lines outside sometimes make it difficult to get inside in the first place. People go to the Hawk for different reasons. Andy McClean, a junior from Londonderry, Northern Ireland, simply found the Hawk. I walked out the door of Ste henson fScholarship Hallj and wafked down the road, and I came to a door and I walked in. I said, 'Give me the most famous American beer.' They ave me a Budweiser, and I thought this was the worst beer I'd ever had. So I said, 'Give me a Bush.' Of course, I'd never heard of Bush before. And I've been here ever since. Customers Even people who don't go to school at the University end up at the Hawk. Julie Tieperman and Julie Olson from Cowley County Community College were in Lawrence in November for a conference on student overnment. We'd heard about tgis bar and the Wheel, Olson said. We went by the Wheel first, but we couldn't find a parkin place. So the air found thernseTves playing pool at the Hawk.' Hawk traditions keep people coming back. The Hawk is the only bar in the nei hborhood with schooners, and a opular lassware special early in the year offered to let customers Get mugged at the Hawk. Celebrating T.G.I.F. fThank God It's Fridayj is also customary. And like other neighborhood bars, the Hawk traditionally draws a large crowd after football games and during Country Club Week in August. Perhaps beer itself is the actual campus tradition. In that case, anyone at 1340 Ohio will boast that the Hawk is one of the best places in town to practice drinking it. Shayla Williams
