yl l D N t3t/n > Material Shortage Overcome; Bad Weather No Longer Hindrance. Bad weather and difficulties in get ing finished mill work are responsible for the recent delay in the completion „f the two new buildings, Susan Camp bell hall and the school of commerce, goth buildings are now past the stage where the weather can arfect the work „ and it is not expected that the mill will have any further trouble in making deliveries. The commerce building now has all the exterior brick work finished except cleaning, and all the windows are hung. The radiators have been temporarily connected with the steam pipes and the bricks are rapidly drying. The con iluits, through which all the wires are passed, have been laid. Plastering will begin in a week or two and soon after flooring will be laid. Architecture Sound Proof. The flooring is to be made very sttong and sound proof. Over the sub flooring will be laid felt deadeners, then screeds, which are one and three-quar ter inch boards placed at intervals. The regular flooring will be laid on the screeds and over that the same cork flooring that is used in the education building, the twin of the commerce building. Susan Campbell hall is more nearly completed than the other new structure. All the plastering has been done and the dozen carpenters are putting in the fin ish lumber as fast as it arrives. Susan Campbell hall is another twin building, its counterpart being Hendricks hall. There will be 28 suites for the girls, a suite for the janitor and wife, and a suite for a matron or guests. Each suite is composed of a study room, sleeping porch ajid dressing room. Conveniences such as individual wardrobes, medicine closet, mirror, and wash bowl will be built in each suite. Fire Protection Feature. The best of protection against fire has been provided by the architects. Two brick fire walls, extending from the basement to the singles, divide the build ing into three wings. In each wall there is only one opening which is a doorway on the first floor. Both doorways have been provided with fire doors of sheet iron and fire-proof glass. Numerous fire hose have been placed in convenient positions. On the first floor in the north wing will be the living room, with fireplace and book cases. In the basement just below a similar room with a fireplace, is to be a recreation room. No date has been set for the comple tion of the school of commerce building but it is to be expected early in the spring term. Susan Campbell hall will probably be ready for furnishings by the Easter vacation. OREGON CLUB DANCE TO BE AT ANCHORAGE Thirty Couples Will Enjoy First Social Affair Since Men Re-organize; Feature Is.Planned. Following the basketball game next Saturday evening the Men’s Oregon Club 'rill hold its first social event since its reorganization, a dance in the Anchor fee hall. The change of places from the "'Oman’s building, as was first planned, to Anchorage, was necessitated by the action of Mr. Newell, superintendent ef the University grounds, who decided that the new building is not yet ready to accommodate a group of people. Also, furniture is being stored in the building. Due to the small size of the Anchor fee hall room, the attendance has been limited to the first 30 tickets sold to the men. Decorators will bring boughs from the timber Saturday morning, and Barney Garrett, president of the club, dates that all will be under way for a S°od time by 8:30 Saturday evening. Several of the men are now working out a feature, which, it has been intimated, "■ill dim the luster of the pyrotechnic •splay of any active volcano.
