'Walls of Libe Addition Offer Something New— They Carry No Weight By DONNA PASTROUICH At last there is something at the University which acini it edly caities no weight. To wit—the walls and partitions of the University Library addition, now approaching completion. 1 he new library addition is a modular building—which, in terms of the layman, means that the partitions bear none of the building s weight. 1 he ceilings are held up by columns. 'This plan provides maximum space and flexibility or ar ys i . u. mornson, library administrative assistant. In short, it means that in years to come walls can be knocked out to change the floor plan, and the building will not collapse. A look around he addition shows that space has been provided for a great variety of special activities, ranging from photography to phil osophy. There will be conference rooms, seminar rooms, and faculty studies. The Douglas Room, to be housed in the basement, will offer individual listening booths for mu sic, language, and speech assign ments; rooms for small listening ► groups; a piano room; and shelves for the' collection of phonograph and tape recordings. . Audio-Visual The Audio-visual Department will move to the new basement, where there will be a studio for re cording and showing movies, and a lab for making slides and for micro filming. Also in the basement will be the staff lounge and kitchen. Regrouping of the books will be under the modified divisional orga nization plan. This plan calls for grouping together material in the three fields of science, social sci ence, and humanities, and having a special librarian for each group. The science division will be on the second floor of the main building where the periodical room is now; the second and third floors of the addition will house the social sci ence and humanity division re spectively. Further plans include opening the stacks to all, moving the brows ing room to the new Erb Memorial building and retaining the general reference department and the re serve book room. Some plans for the revision are still pending, as are the color schemes to be used. Tentative dec oration plans include furniture of blond birch. The outside of the biulding is a zinc-coated steel, which will be painted. The steel makes an inex pensive outside covering and it can be removed and salvaged at a later date, if a brick siding is de sired. Automotive Elevator An automatic elevator will serve patrons of the library. The com pletely air-conditioned addition will have floors of asphalt tile -and acoustic tile ceilings. The stacks will be of hard steel and will be “free standing”—that is, they win not be attached to the walls. Carl W. Hintz, head librarian, feels the new building has pro gressed rapidly and contemplates occupying the addition late in Aug ust. Difference in Sexes Note By Law Dance Sponsors By Ted Goodwin Law students noted with appro val last week the observation from the Office of Student Affairs that there is a_ difference between men students and women students, a conclusion which the law scholars had reached independently. Having this difference in mind, they are busying themselves with plans for their annual dance, May r 6, in Gerlinger Hall. Meanwhile queen candidates were being kept under wraps pending the selection of six finalists at next week’s law student body meeting. The entire student body, which is “manifestly qualified” to judge beauty, will select the chosen six, and ask them to post bail to insure their appearance at a run-off elec tion to be held later, chairman Curt Cutsforth said. Bail is deemed necessary because of the professed modesty of some of the queen hopefuls, wfio in years past have shown a tendency to run off when the voting draws near. Talent scouts in the third-year class are counting heavily on a 1200 lb. royal court, and one opti mistic estimate put the total weight of the six closed to 1500 pounds. Since it is quality, and not quan tity that counts, however, much weight will be given to candidates with outstanding talent, maturity, and poise. It was decided by the weekend committee not to pair any organi zations within the school, as the only thing to be floated will prob ably be a small mortgage to cover the costs of the dance.

First University Dorm Gets Face-Lifting Job To Tune of $82,000 By CAROL JONES W hen the latest face-lifting job is complete. little but the brick shell will remain of the first University dormitory, now known as Friendly Hall. otuning irom me north end, the building will be completely remod eled and fireproofed. The job will cost approximately $82,000 dollars, according to I. I. Wright, superin tendent of the physical plant. Of this amount, $32,000 is now avail able. The rest, it is hoped, will be ap propriated by the legislature at its next session, or drawnfrom a reno vation fund by the Board of Deans. There is a sharp contrast between the rest of historic old Friendly and the portion of the building in which remodeling has been completed. Clean white walls, soft pleasant colors, and broad windows lighten the rooms. “Blackboards” are a shade of apple green to match the new lino leum. Modern fluorescent lighting has been installed. FI o o r s have been reinforced, and wide metal tread stairways have replaced the old railed-in flights. Built in 1893 Friendly Hall was built in 1S93, as the first University dormitory, to house 90 students. It had two main entrances on the west side, one for women students who lived in the north end, and one for men, housed in the south end. Meals were served in a large dining hall directly in front and between the two entrances. Huge sitting room accupied either end of the building. There was even hot and cold running water. The contractor who built the dormitory expressed satisfaction with the good brick used in the structure, according to “The Re flector,” a student magazine in 1893. “Although made in this vicin ity, the bricks are a superior qual ity and are so well made that scarcely a building in the Wallam otte Valley is better constructed in this respect," the magazine stated. After the construction of Mary Spiller Hall for women, the Dormi tory -housed only men students, who were known as the "Dormi tory Club.” Graduate management offices were moved into the building, then, in 1933, it was remodeled to provide classrooms and office space for the Bureau of Municipal Research, the Alumni Secretary, and faculty members in the social science, English, and speech de partments. Men students moved to the new John Straub Dormitory. Evidences of its dorm days are still to be found in Friendly. The offices of the University Editor were once part of the kitchen and serving rooms. The sliding win dows and thick serving counter still remain between the “kitchen" and “pantry.” A large tiled fireplace, long since out of use, can be seen in one of the classrooms on the second floor over the Alumni office. When the building was re modeled before, it was kept essen tially the same. The huge dining and sitting rooms were partitioned off and some student rooms were enlarged for classrooms, but because of a shortage of funds at the time, few radical changes were made. The hall was named, after his death in 1915, for Sams on H. Friendly, a Eugene merchant, who was one of the early members of the Board of Regents. SPALDING IN THE EARLY D>YS OF GOLF CHE GUTTA PERCHA.
