Everything but the Back Seat
Libe Addition Parallels New Autos
By Bill Clothier
The addition to the campus li
brary shows every indication of
aping the current trends establish
ed by post-war cars.
The Studebaker influence will be
plainly seen in the great expanse
of glass stretching around the ul
tra-modern edifice. The windows
will extend in an unbroken line for
ward and aft, port and starboard,
with only steel supports intersect
ing the panes of glass.
The sly hand of the Nash-Kelvi
nator people will show in the con
struction of the building itself. All
steel it will be, an interlocked, rig
idly braced, self contained unit of
tremendous strength. No brick or
wood material will be used. The
weather eye principle has been
adopted for complete and carefree
ventilation sans draft and dust.
The impact of Buick’s dynaflow
drive has truly revolutionized the
transportation facilities inside the
building. Buick dispensed with a
clutch. The library designers struck
out the stairs. Students and per
manent personnel will glide from
the ground floor to the top floor in
a silken-smooth, unbroken surge oi
elevator power. Each person will
be required to bring his own power
unit to negotiate the ramps.
The excavation is nearly com
plete. Provided no unforseen ex
igencies develop, the new wing will
be finished by next spring. It will
rest on a blue rock foundation.
Due to the new wing’s unique de
sign it lends itself to speedy and
economical construction.
It is the first such biulding to be
built in Oregon, and is expected to
prove very lasting and durable.
The new addition will increase the
space of the library by four-fifths
of the present library floor space.

How Youth Is Lost

ey. That night she tossed out
Pinky, her faithful elephant, and
went to sleep hugging her new
rabbit.
In one day Nina had won a
boy’s heart, had her first haircut
and abandoned an old toy. She
would never be so young again.
And neither would her godfather.
