The new structure is Emerald hall at 13th and Emerald streets—one block East of the infirmary.

First to move into the new build ^ ing was the office of the registrar, 1 and by fall the new structure will house the business office, cashier’s office, personnel office, office of the dean of men and dean of wom en, all veterans administration of fices, and the counseling center. Their space in Johnson hall will be occupied by the office of infor mation, state system of higher ed ucation offices, the University news bureau, and the bureau of municipal research. James D. Kline, new assistant registrar in charge of veterans af fairs, arrived on the campus July 14, just in time to begin work in the new building. His first confer ences with his secretary, Celeste Olson Giesecke, were a bit infor mal with with workmen moving chairs and desks around them at a furious pace. His office is in the southwest corner of the new build ing. Floor plan of Emerald hall is so arranged that students will be able to enter the southwest door, pass through the building filling out forms and paying money, and come out the southeast door all regis tered. University records will be stored i in a new fireproof vault with walls of 10-inch reinforced concrete. The vault is also in the southwest wing.
