Renovation of Friendly, SU Completion Slated Student Union completion and the renovation of Friendly Hall will highlight the campus building program as it moves into its spring schedule. Mild weather gave a green light to full-scale work on the Student Union Building, now in the final stages of construction. Although the $2,000,000 building was to be completed by spring term, I. I. Wright, superintendent of the physical plant, said contractors don’t expect to finish the job until sometime in May. Overhaul Begins Work on Friendly Hall began last week. A general overhaul, to last throughout the summer, is scheduled for the.old structure. Carpenters have started out with construction of a firewall in the north wing saircase. Stairs will be widened to the wall and doors put on the landing. Redecoration will also include asphalt tile on the floors, new windows and doors, replastering, and new wiring. * Asphalt Tile Laid More than 13,000 square feet of asphalt tile have been laid during the last month on floors in Com merce, Fenton, and the architec ture annex. About 5,000 feet more are to be added to basement cor ridors and classrooms in Oregon Hall.

Behind-Scenes Activities Make 'Husband' No Picnic By NORMAN ANDERSON One of the sad things about put ting on a play is that before it goes before the lights, there must be such things as sets, costumes, props and what have you. As Bill Schlosser related the other day, “The Warrior’s Hus band" is no picnic. Impressed with my own story on what all had to be done, I checked the Theater Workshop to see what was going on, or rather up. Tents Simulated The first of three sets is in a beginning stage of construction. But it was nothing compared to the tent being constructed. They have to simulate depth, that’s look like they have three sides and yet not have three sides. So all the boards have to be placed at angles that make the un finished product look like a child’s attempt to construct a rectangle— all the sides uneven. But cute lit tle pasteboard cut-outs make the work seem worthwhile. The cut outs look good anyway. The construction of the shields is the thing that is novel. Forms have to be made of plaster of Paris. Discarded and broken forms lie conspicuously around the work shop, bearing out Sehlosser's state ment: "We have to experiment a little first." Costuming Colorful A also checked speech graduate, Joan Landman’s costume room. Interesting. Being modeled were the Amazon warrior's costumes; skirts .about three-quarters of a foot above the knees. I learned sadly that there will be more to the costume that what I saw. Color will be the keynote of tho attire. Glorious blues, reds, yel lows, magentas will flash across the stage, drapped Greek-fashion around the Amazon women. The Greek soldiers, too, will get a bit of life with their classy brown dresses (called "tunics") which come just below the knees. They won’t be as shapeless as that sounds, though, when they get decked out in armor. Oregana Orders Due Living organizations representa tives may place orders for the 1950 Oregana this week- by sending or bringing $6 to the Oregana office in McArthur Court.
