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.

ffl Q. fetal CEL! r 4 Qi 11jfQiQL X, .- , KU Hawk Nights gave students a 57! ff? ff? new alternative to lyftlff 'ff 4 ft' 'L4,3fQ, ff ,ttf' 15:31, fi drinking on the V' X-S2744 Weekends. vf,,XX ff X il SEPTEMER 24, 1999, VARIOUS KU ORGANIZATIONS SPONSORED THE FIRST OF SEVEN CAMPUS-WIDE paxfties. KU Hawk Nights was a new program sponsored by the All Scholarship Hall Council, Association of University Residence Halls, Phi Kappa Theta, KU LEAD, Alpha Gamma Delta, Student Alumni Association Student Union Actitivites. These organizations teamed up tp provide music, dance, food, games and a movie to KU students in hope of lowering on- campus drinking. I think Hawk Nights will lower on-campus drinking because it gives students a fun and free alternative to drinking, Marita Reibschlager, Hordville, Neb., freshman said. Many students that attended the first party recieved a wide array of giveaways, like T- shirts and goldfish. Students could win free goldfish at the Win, Lose or Draw game. The best part was winning goldfish, but they were dead within 24 hours, Brooke Palmer, Chillicothe, Mo., freshman. said. In addition to the free giveaways, students could enjoy all the activities and food provided without having to pay a cent. Hawk Nights started out to show the students of KU that there are other alternatives to going out, said Ruthie Hagan, KU director of Special events. The University stepped up and showed that the Students should be able to interact with other students on campus on a Friday night. Hawk Nights was created to think up such events. Other dates for scheduled Hawk Nights were October 22, December 7, February 18, March 31, and May 8. Unlike the events and the screening of Theres Something About Mary on the MegaVision screen September 24, movie and events were held at the Kansas Union, Allen Fieldhouse, the Lied Center and other various places. Each KU Hawk Night would stay consistant with activities such as movies, games, etc., and had a special theme, like Haunted House Night in October. The sposoring organizations hoped that KU Hawk Nights would have continued success and more Students will keep attending the event. Many students said they would continue to attend, citing how great it was that they did not have to pay anything and it was a great opporttmity to meet people. I had fun playing games and spenidng time with friends, so I would definitely go to another one, Kristel Patton, Seneca, Mo., said. by jennifer Wellington photos by lzate levenson 14 campus life l it
