WEB WORKS

The Black Faculty and Staff Council is inviting the campus community to share information for its Web site. The council is specifically looking for names and links of black faculty or staff members and special programs or events/news that advance black faculty, staff and students at KU. The council, established by faculty and staff in 1975, lists among its objectives: “establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with various university units, the alumni, community groups and black faculty and staff at other regent institutions.”

TOPONYMS:

Simons Laboratories, on Constant Avenue in west campus, is named for Dolph Simons Sr., longtime publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, who died in 1989. He was a key figure in bringing distinguished chemist Takeru Higuchi to the university in 1967. The building, dedicated in May 1996, houses research facilities, conference rooms and offices for researchers who focus on cancer-fighting drugs. For more, visit www.buildings.ku.edu.
