AYHAWK THE ATMOSPHERE CRACKLED wma sPrR1T DURING Homecoming weekend on Mount Oread. Students and community members united to celebrate what it meant to be a Jayhawk. The festivities began on Friday with the annual Homecoming parade, which lasted one hour and prevented any traffic from traveling down Jayhawk Boulevard. Fraternities, sororities and other cam- pus organizations built floats forthe parade. Stephenson Scholarship Hall's float was dis- qualified because it was considered to be in poor taste. HI think that in one respect, it is cool because they said they had first amendment rights, Kevin Sontag, St. Louis sophomore said. f'But I also think this parade was supposed to be in good taste, and by what they did they abused first amendment rights. I didn't think it was meant to be anything but a publicity stunt. Triangle fraternity and Alpha Gamma Delta sorority won first place for their float. The second place winners were Theta Chi fraternity and Al- pha Chi Omega sorority, Carrie Julian, Shawnee sophomore, said she enjoyed the parade because it tied the University with the Lawrence community. I think it's wonderful that so many members of the community come to watch the Homecom- ing paradej' Julian said. f'It shows that KU and Lawrence have a real connection when poeple in the town have as much pride as we do. Saturday marked the football game against Southern Methodist University. Memorial Sta- dium was specked with crimson and blue as thou- sands of students, alumni and other fans cheered the Jayhawks to a 27-9 victory. 'fSeeing KU win the homecoming game made me proud to be a Jayhawk, Alison Paul, Webster Groves, Mo., freshman said.

In addition to the completion of the schol- arship suites at Memorial Stadium, renovations were being done to Robinson Center and a park- ing garage was being built north of the Kansas Union. The renovations to Robinson were part of a re- search project. Five raquetball courts were replaced with an energy balance lab. Bob Lockwood, facil- ity director of Robinson, said the lab included chambers that would monitor a person's metabolic rate for 24 hours. Other new features to Robinson were testing rooms for nutrition, a biochemistry lab, an exercise room and a nutrition kitchen for classroom use. The need for more parking prompted the park- ing department to build a new garage next to the Kansas Union. The department had a consultant conduct a study to find out the best location for the garage. That location is such a high visitor draw, said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking. The garage would house 818 spaces. Five hun- dred spaces would be metered for visitors and the remaining 313 would be reserved for faculty and students. Hultine said the new garage would allow the parking department to take out the meters at Me- morial Stadium and along Mississippi Street and use those spaces for student parking permits. I'm glad they're building another garage, said Trish Zimmerman, Kansas City, Kansas, junior. lt's such a hassle finding a parking place because it makes me late to class more often than not. Murphy Hall underwent contruction of a new auditorium for the music department and new practice rooms were added. Also, the Anthropol- ogy Museum recieved a facelift. ...by amanda hay photos by jared bertels... renovations l F li l i l i I. -.W THE MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY RECIEVES A FACELIFL THE construction closed the museum for several months, temporarily relocating some exhibits. -photo by jared Bertels.
