WEB WORKS
GOOD TIME 'HAWKS: KU's Web site is not all serious business. A new "
Fun Stuff" page features light-hearted items such as downloadable computer backgrounds with scenic campus photos, " 'Hawk Air" paper airplanes complete with a Jayhawk image and foldable KU mini books. The page also contains a link to interesting facts about the university and new activities and information will be added soon.

The Bridwell Botany Research Laboratory on west campus, built in 1965, was funded by a gift from Texas cattle breeder Joseph S. Bridwell, who was interested in research into developing better strains of grasses and legumes for cattle. The building houses the Ronald L. McGregor Herbarium, named in honor of the longtime director who oversaw a vast expansion of KU's plant collections. In addition to more than 350,000 pressed specimens and a slide collection, the building houses a botanical library.
